The Manchester City war with the Premier League on the sponsorship rules could rumble for another year.
The champions of four rows launched a new legal attack against the competition after having modified the regulations that City had disputed before and successfully.
Earlier Tuesday, the lawyer said that a court would not hear the arguments in the last case before mid-October.
While the Premier League and the City refused to comment, the initiates think that the date is correct.
When City challenged the previous rules, the panel was seated in June and an initial verdict was only rendered in September – with a final decision returned in February.
If the calendar remains similar and there is no reason not to believe that this will be the case, this could mean that a verdict on the rules that are currently at stake would only be cleaned up next spring when the saga takes place.
The prolonged legal battle of Manchester City with the rules of the Premier League on sponsorship should continue next year when a verdict should be reached

City lawyers initially argued that the new rules of transaction of the associated parties – designed to prevent clubs from signing trade agreements inflated with companies linked to their owners and introduced following the takeover led by Saudi Arabia of Newcastle United – Contrans in competition law.
However, a panel judged in their favor, despite the warnings of City, the Premier League continued with a number of settings. City then launched another judicial dispute, claiming that the new regulations continue to “discriminate” and highlighting a multitude of rivals, including Arsenal, who, according to them, enjoy an unjust advantage.
The same panel that reassured itself with City on their initial complaint will stabilize again on the last dispute. If City again emerges success, the Premier League could see its financial rules in disarray with its clubs struck with another legal bill. It is believed that the previous case cost more than 20 million pounds sterling.
The case is distinct from the 130 accusations against City by the Ligue for alleged violation of financial rules.
