Yep - it can’t be an ‘affiliated party’ transaction.  Brought in back in October, oddly enough …

Are you sure? Pretty sure it can be just has to be judged at fair value.

We can have aramco or Saudi golf, it would just be subject to fair market value due to being affiliated. 
 

What I’m unsure of is if an unaffiliated sponsor comes in are they subject to same scrutiny ?

Yep, this is the case. If it's an affiliated company the Premier League will refer it to an independent panel who will judge if its deemed to be fair market value, or inflated. 

 

I would also mention, this is legally far too vague and will likely crumble at the first hint of a legal challenge. Whether that comes from us, or some other team down the line.

Yeah this is correct. Aramco and Saudia are both linked to the Saudi government, so would require sign off.

Also, please correct me folks but aren’t all sponsors worth more than a million subject to this rule? Related party or not?

Good question I’m not sure on this, will also be interesting how they treat Saudia if it’s them. Technically they’re not linked to PIF, but you can be assured they’d also be treat as affiliated I would imagine.

As has been stated before I can’t see this related party stuff standing up in court. Leicester sponsored by King Power and City by Etihad. Can’t be one rule for them and one for us.

 

They'd argue that those deals were signed before these new rules came into affect. The real iffy area is determining what 'fair market value' really is.

Then that is restraint of trade and anti-competitive. It's only a matter of time before someone takes this to the courts.

City is an affiliated partner to nearly every hotel in Dubai at this point. Sure there was an Athletic article a few weeks back about how they made a few phone calls and did minimal research to find that half of the city ‘partners’ didn’t even have offices. Or staff. Or actually do anything.

Exactly. You can't let others have these huge sponsorship deals, then change the rules so others can't and then say, "they signed those deals before we changed the rules"

Mackem! How the fuck can you not get worked up over it? Already pre-ordered mine, I'm probably a xl but went for a medium to show my drinking belly! Not sure on short and sock sizing though...

It's becoming more and more clear that football supporters are turning into football consumers. You'd expect the ones doing the selling to treat us that way, what I didn't expect is just how much supporters would start demanding to be treated that way.
