The comments, attributed to Purslow, add to a wider conversation about the implications of City's ongoing dispute with the league over its financial regulations, a case that has drawn significant attention across English football.
Legal disputes between clubs and governing bodies over financial rules have become an increasingly prominent feature of the sport in recent years, as clubs contest the enforcement of spending and sponsorship regulations designed to maintain competitive balance.
