Leicester in trouble

Apparently to do with a year 3 period where they allegedly breached financial rules with profitability and sustainability, will this effect them in the Championship now?
 
This is the problem tho
It happened last year
Punishment this year

In the meantime they cheat their way to promotion denying another club that chance.

Mind you - without those 6 points we’d be bricking it
 
Sounds like they'll be in trouble if they manage to go up as well.

It's difficult enough for any team to survive after promotion. But to try and survive with a potential 6 point penalty and also being unable to spend substantially they would be almost sure to come straight back down.
 
Posted this a week or so ago about the deep problems at Leicester, including dodgy dealings with betting companies, alleged irregular shirt-fixing deals with suppliers, sacking of Women's Manager for alleged affair with one of the players, fire sale imminent of the best players, unpaid debts......

The EFL tried to charge them, and are changing their rules to allow them to do so going forwards.
Leicester dodged it via a loophole.

So works a points deduction be imposed next season, in effect they'd start the season in a deficit, points wise?

The whole system is crazy, it needs to be simpler and clearer, but it nevertheless needs to stay.
 
From the Beeb “If found guilty the Championship high-flyers could face a points deduction.

The Foxes are also subject to a separate financial probe by the English Football League (EFL).”

“But there are just over six weeks until the end of the Championship campaign and, given any appeal would also need to be factored in, it is hard to see this situation being wrapped up by then.”

Hence why the football Bill needs to come in - season by season they would have to meet financial scrutiny criteria - they would infringe their licence and in theory the owners might have to give up the club. But in any case it would be dealt with season by season.
 
Have the English FL or FA got the pods to do what the Scottish and Italian FAs did and that is to punish the big clubs by sending them down the leagues?
I would guess not.
We have been told so many times, over the years, that, sooner or later, a big club will be punished properly to set the example.
Chelsea, Man City bought their success - no doubt about it. £Billions on players that totally over-inflated the market for everybody else.
Now Newcastle are the one's with the big pockets.
I can't see them making much of a difference.

why would we? any club can say if we didn't get that win or that draw. Could also say if we got 10 points from first 7 games which we have easily achieved since then we would be right in play off contention.

How can the discrepancies between the Premiership financial Rules and those of the EFL be reconciled?
Do the EFL rules apply to a Premiership Club which has just been relegated, and do EFL rules apply to a club which has just been promoted to the Premiership?
Both the EFL and the Premiership either adopt the same fiscal rules or there is chaos.
 
I think it’s because there the 20 premiership clubs as one organisation and the 72, others.

I believe lester’s argument is they can’t be docked point by the EFL this year because all offences where in the EPL (I hate these TLA’s).

Also when QPR, Lester, Villa, Wolves all won promotion if memory is correct the EPL refused to sanction a point deduction because it occurred in the EPL.

They all received fines for these breaches of FFP

Yes. The EFL and PL being different "jurisdictions" just lets teams get away with it over and over again. Both leagues need to decide on punishment that carries over when switching leagues. It's ridiculous that you can gamble to get out the championship by overspending and if the gamble is successful there can be no punishment.
