Aston Villa will back Man City in voting against changes to APT rules

Aston Villa owner Nassef Sawiris has said the club will join Manchester City in voting against amendments the Premier League has proposed to rules governing commercial deals.

On Friday, top-flight clubs will vote on the changes to Associated Party Transaction regulations (APTs) at a Premier League meeting.

Sawiris, Egypt’s richest man, argued the league needed a “fresh start” and as such the vote on APTs should be delayed until February to increase the chances of “unanimous support”.

Manchester City have already written to the 19 other clubs expressing their “fundamental concern” over what they claim are “unlawful” amendments the Premier League has proposed.

In October, both City and the Premier League claimed victory after the decision of an arbitration panel over APTs.

In a statement released to the Telegraph, Sawiris confirmed Villa “would be voting against” the APT changes.

“In our view, a vote in 90 days on amended terms taking into consideration the tribunal’s findings will have a significantly greater chance of securing the unanimous support of all 20 Premier League clubs,” he said.
