The APT rules are aimed at ensuring honest market value to trade contracts with organizations strictly adapted to club owners. The rules are aimed at preventing artificial overstate of transactions such as sponsorship, which may undermine the financial principles of the league.
The league introduced the rules in December 2021 after Newcastle was purchased by the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund.
