Manchester City has launched a legal assault against the Premier League, challenging sponsorship rules and claiming discrimination from rival clubs, which could undermine the league's 115 charges against them. The club argues they are being targeted to stifle their success and restrict economic competition. This move could potentially disrupt financial controls in football, with implications beyond just City's case. The legal challenge is seen as a strategic move by City to weaken the league before facing their 115 charges later. Winning this case could give City a moral high ground in defending against historical charges based on different regulations.
