Premier League clubs approve changes to associated party transaction rules
The proposed changes came into play after an independent tribunal found some aspects of the APT rules to be unlawful following Manchester City’s lawsuit.
Outgoing Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was in for a pleasant surprise in his final Premier League game in charge of the Gunners as every Huddersfield Town fan in the John Smith Stadium gave the Frenchman a standing ovation in the 22nd minute, to mark his 22 years in charge of the Gunners.
