Can't see them getting any punishment this season. They'll drag out any submission of accounts and then appeal any verdict. Likelihood of them getting a points deduction this side of May is slim.
Best thing we can do is take 6 points off them |  | |  |

They’re just doing a snow job on the mess they’ve created for themselves. Behind the scenes it wouldn’t surprise me if Leicester are ‘helped’ with their accounts to ensure all is well in December.
They’ll be ok. They and Man City are probably represented by Bob Massingbird of Blackadder fame:
‘Bob Massingbird was the most brilliant legal mind in all of England. He once got a killer freed (and knighted in the New Year's Honours list), even though the man had been seen committing the murder by 13 witnesses, held the murder weapon in his hand and told arresting officers: "I'm glad I killed the b*stard" indicating that he was clearly guilty. The family of the victim was even forced to pay to have the blood washed out of the killer's jacket.’ |  | | |

On Man City you are almost certainly correct. Pep could hand over the weapon too and autograph it and they'd still see no wrong doing.
I just wonder with Leicester. The PL seem to want to make a point once a season, so they may be the sacrificial lamb/fox this year. |  | | |

I think wishing or hoping for a points deduction from a rival team is bad form. Let the legal processes take their course and focus on the 6 points on offer from Leicester and winning the argument on the football field. |  | | |

Based on your previous predictions during the Trump Presidency, I'm going to guess that the FA will actually award Leicester 10 bonus points rather than take any away. |  |

When those rivals have cheated? Strange take. |  |

The biggest take for me out of that article is that Chelsea paid £30m for Maresca, that is wild. Did we know that before? |  |

I'm not sure that's correct. It thought it was 'only' £10m |  | | |

Ha. I'm not sure anyone could have predicted that a whole nation would turn a blind eye to a rapist, fraudster and insurrectionist.
But yes, the FA is incompetent/fraudulent so who knows! | | | |

That is wild if so.
I wonder what they were offering for McKenna or what Brighton would have had to cough up?
I'm so glad McKenna didn't end up at Chelsea given the circus there, not just because what it would have done to us, but for his own career. | | | |

I’m not sure how long Leicester can keep dodging bullets.
I know there are approved losses that are not counted but in both 2022/23 & 2021/22 they lost over £80m each year.
Over the three years ending 30/6/24 they are only allowed a loss of ££83m, and same amount for three years ending 39/6/25 no way thry not have significantly over spent last season.
Leicester don’t have to submit account for year ending 30/6/24 to EFl until 31/3/25 yet now Premier League are demanding accounts by end of December.
What a mess. |  |

Local media reporting £10m here. Feels more plausible than £30m. I think we'd have heard about it before if it was £30m! | | | |

What I don't get is the efl last season said they couldn't do anything as leicester weren't an efl side when the rules were broken.
However now leicester are admitting they were an efl club.
So can't the efl now hit them with their penalties for when they next get relegated? |  |

They definitely seem to be having their cake and eating it. In fact, they seem to be stuffing their faces with it whilst hoarding it. | | | |

EFL issued a statement, if you can call it that, yesterday.
They appear pissed off too.

Given the financial resources and the the 'quality' of the legal representation the PL must have, it's unbelievable that they managed to pass and finalise regulations with such an obvious loophole.
I mean it really would have been as simple as wording stipulating you remain a PL club until 30th June and become an EFL club as of 1st July. [Post edited 5 Sep 2024 9:24]

Simple thing is say they are so digusted that when leicester next get relegated they are not welcome back into the efl and will have to go and play in another league. | |

Or to stipulate the rules applied regardless of promotion or relegation. | |

I like the fact that leicester only changed their accounts year in April 2023 when relegation looked most likely, so they knew in advance what they were going to be able to achieve by moving their account ending date.
I mentioned yesturday, I can't imagine player prem contracts ended on the 6th June ( when ever the share transfer was made) so whilst their shares may have been transferred, they were still paying out premiership wages. | |

One of the bigger surprises was that Leicester managed to find so much in deductible costs. Their PSR overspend was reportedly £24.4m, smaller than Forest's breach, despite Leicester's overall loss being larger by a decent margin IIRC. Even the most optimistic insights pencilled in an adjusted overspend in excess of £40m, while some journalists thought it would be closer to £70m.
Given the transfer sales and player releases they made in 23/24, including manager compensation, and with discussion now turning to what the PSR spend limit actually is for relegated clubs in their first Championship season (EFL rules permit a loss of £13m, but it's been suggested PL rules allow for a loss up to £35m in light of this being a transitional season - I haven't checked if this is correct), it doesn't look a slam dunk that they'll declare a PSR breach for the period 2021-24. The whole thing is a consistent farce, Chelsea and Villa included. | | | |

The sound of Rowan Atkinson saying "I'm glad I killed the b*stard" lives rent free in my head...(as the young people would say) |  | | |
