And we have the result of the vote … clubs have approved changes to the APT rules. In a statement the Premier League said:

“At a Premier League Shareholders’ meeting today, clubs approved changes to the League’s Associated Party Transaction (APT) rules. The Premier League has conducted a detailed consultation with clubs - informed by multiple opinions from expert, independent Leading Counsel - to draft rule changes that address amendments required to the system.

“This relates to integrating the assessment of Shareholder loans, the removal of some of the amendments made to APT rules earlier this year and changes to the process by which relevant information from the League’s ‘databank’ is shared with a club’s advisors.”

What does this all mean?

Hello, hello, hello and welcome to my attempts at hyping up the weekend: after some international interruption, the Premier League is back! And it’s live! And there’s some key admin stuff to sort out!

Yes, there’s been a league vote today on some associated party transaction stuff – I can sense your excitement. For Manchester United fans there’s a chance to hear from their new messiah, Ruben Amorim, ahead of his first game in charge.

Let’s get into it. Share your thoughts, queries, weekend plans, whatever you fancy.
