[hallamblue]

according to The Athletic

in breach of PSR rules by £12m over a three year period

FA and Prem very annoyed with Leicester's successful exploitation of the jurisdiction loophole last time. Will come down hard on them.

Breaking news...No Premier League club is to be changed with breaking the profit and sustainability rules so all the cheating bastards have got away with it again 🫣

Oh, what a surprise, NOT. Leicester once again get away with it.

What a complete f uvkfest by the authorities, effectively signalling open season for every other club flouting the rules now. Fuvk em all

Town’s survival rivals Leicester City have escaped a Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) sanction from the Premier League for 2023/24 but could still face action regarding the previous season.

The Premier League announced this morning that no clubs will face a penalty for breaching their PSR rules during 2023/24, but with the Foxes, currently second bottom, two points behind the Blues, still being pursued regarding 2022/23.

In September, Leicester, who were facing a significant points deduction, successfully argued in court that the Premier League did not have the jurisdiction to charge them as they had, having been relegated to the Championship, relinquished their Premier League share a fortnight prior to the point of the breach at the end of their accountancy year on June 30th. However, the Premier League subsequently appealed.


A Premier League spokesman said: “Issues as to the jurisdiction of the Premier League over Leicester City Football Club in relation to PSR compliance are currently the subject of confidential arbitration proceedings.

“Accordingly, neither the League nor the club will make any further comment at this stage about any aspect of the club’s compliance or otherwise with any of the PSR or related rules.

“No complaint has been brought against Leicester by the League for any breach of the PSRs for the period ending season 2023/24.”

Clubs are restricted to losses of a maximum £105 million over three years with the limit reduced by £22 million in seasons spent outside the top flight. Spending on infrastructure, academies, women’s teams and community schemes is not included.

December 31st was the deadline to submit their accounts with the Premier League having 14 days in which to bring any charges.

They ain't out the woods yet by a long way.

They'll walk away from it yet again.

Someone needs to be made an example of otherwise what's the point?

Leicester being docked something worthy like 25points and Citeh being dropped to L2 (their overspending matching the punishment), would at least make it a proper "LAW" ...., and clubs would need to adhere to.

It's all laughable. And the Leicester "jurisdiction" stuff is laugh out loud laughable.

They won the league recent, caused a sensation of sorts, surprised many with it, but for years you could only view them as a second league club name because that's where they were invariably at. Truth is, points taken off or not they're very likely to see a relegation by end of season. In fact you could award them points instead of taking away and they'd still likely - or would - drop to lower league.

Did they get away with something they shouldn't have, it seems so. It's nothing new. Maybe what they got up to or any wrongdoings maybe aren't as severe as other club names activities although all the same a certain stance should have been taken by those with the right authority. What's the use of having power or influence, or in fact being able to provide a sense of justice when it just isn't utilized or used to the right effect.

Best course of action : take points off them but it's no good until they start back in the Championship league from August. They can begin with a points deficit next season as it's just not much use implementing it now. They're a relegation team already, provide any punishment at a time more suited.

Yep, if your post was to be summarized ^^^^^^^, that's it.
