GettyTHE EXPLANATION
The Timesreports that between 10 and 12 clubs are supporting the Premier League's defence but sources within the division are now citing the claim as reason for failing to agree a deal with the EFL. The belief is that if the financial rules are scrapped - and also deemed unlawful - they will not be willing to provide handouts.
The EFL were hoping that the 'New Deal For Football' would provide a cash injection of £150m ($192m) per season over six years, but talks first collapsed earlier this year, in March, just months after City filed their legal claim.
GettyWHAT NEXT?
Civil war is seemingly underway but the hearing will begin next Monday. Parliament in the UK has continued to pressurise Premier League clubs to pay the EFL but 10 clubs voted against the funding agreement earlier this year. Those in the Championship, League One and League Two will hope desperately City are unsuccessful.
