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?

No. No EFL charges
So works a points deduction be imposed next season, in effect they'd start the season in a deficit, points wise?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.
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.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.”
Likely only a token gesture, unless their implosion continues, but there's the start of the EFL's efforts.
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.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
How can the discrepancies between the Premiership financial Rules and those of the EFL be reconciled?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.

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.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
