Key quotes ..
"Given Leicester’s long fight to avoid being sanctioned by either body and their most recent failure to submit accounts to the Premier League, they are almost certainly going to be charged with an aggravated breach. This would suggest a starting position of them getting docked 12 points, though with a good chance that the Premier League will ask for even more.
There is one further thing for the club to ponder, too, as the EFL has still not completely given up on the idea that it could pick up the 2022-23 PSR investigation it was unable to complete when Leicester won promotion last year.
And if that is not depressing enough, the EFL will be all over the club’s accounts for next season, so the prospect of transfer embargoes and agreed budgets is very real." |  | | |  |

Isn’t the loophole that even though everyone knows they breached the rules, but as they now fall under the jurisdiction of the PL it means the EFL can’t impose sanctions. Leagues can only impose sanctions on current member clubs. I think that loophole has now been closed because of Leicester’s case at the start of this season. I better read the article, as it’s probably confirmed in there.
How stupid do you have to be to break the rules, get off on a loophole which is then closed because of your actions. And then do it again! Muppets. |
Yes, as I understand it, that's the point.
The basis of the relationship between the clubs in a league/division, and between the clubs and the league itself is a contractual relationship.
Determining whether rules have been broken, and if so, whether a sanction may be imposed, and if so, what sanction, are questions to be answered by properly interpreting the contract between the parties, which of course incorporates the rules under which clubs are charged (assuming those rules have been validly made in accordance with the contractual underpinning of the relationship between the parties.
So one can only ascertain whether the decision about Leicester was a good one, a bad one or something else, by actually reading the words themselves in their proper context. I'm not sure enough people expressing strong views have actually looked at the words on which they are expressing such views.
Clearly promotion and relegation should have been expressly provided for, and I'm amazed they were not. |  | | |

Vardy reported to be on £140,000 a week, £7.2m p.a.
Crazy money for a yo-yo team. |
No, on just over £100K per week, about £5.3M per year. |  | | |
