Top-flight club executives will gather on Thursday for their first meeting since details of a legal challenge by Manchester City against Premier League financial rules were reported by The Times.

The league's annual general meeting, which will be held at a hotel near Harrogate in North Yorkshire, is taking place at a particularly tense juncture, with between 10 and 12 top-flight clubs reported to be supporting the Premier League in defending itself against City.

The Times reports that City's claim argues they are subject to"a tyranny of the majority" as a result of the rules, which were introduced in 2021 after a majority vote in favour. One part of that is a measure called anchoring, which if fully introduced would amount to a Premier League spending cap. City were one of three clubs - along with Manchester United and Aston Villa - who voted against plans to progress with a legal and economic analysis of anchoring back in April.

The purpose of trialling the squad cost rules and anchoring is to iron out any flaws prior to one or both being adopted fully for the 2025-26 season.
