Leicester docked 6 points
Leicester City have been docked six points by the EFL for breaching financial rules after they were charged by the Premier League in May for a profit and sustainability (PSR) breach in the three years leading up to 2023-24.
The deduction is applied immediately meaning they fall from 17th to 20th in the table and put another body between us and the bottom three.
Under PSR, Premier League clubs cannot lose more than £105m over a three year period, Leicester lost almost double that. A six point deduction sounds light to me.
The Premier League were pushing for a much bigger points fine, and looks as if the EFL have bottled it. Leicester are considering their options.
As always we have to do what we can do, but that win last weekend has just become even more important.
When will we hear that Man City have been deducted points or relegated? Or will the EFL bottle it again, as they are a big club?
The EFL? 🤣
EFL no jurisdiction over Premier League sides while they’re in the EPL
Biggest surprise is that the EFL sanctioned Leicester so swiftly and in a season that could be impacted. EFL prefer to delay points penalties until they’re of no practical impact – see SWFC
Well that’s a help to our push for survival
and we need to take advantage by winning tomorrow….Financial fair play is important and u have no sympathy if any club lets it happen…..no excuses !!!!
COYRs
I have to agree with you CA…..6 points should be more !!!!!
Yes, agree with Tom & Cliff and CA.
Leicester definitely got away with this and amazing they have signed what, is it 4 new players signed up!!!
Agreed. Seems light to me. Should have been double, but it is what it is. COYR.
Thought 10 points would have been better but will take 6 points my wife supports Norwich city do helped her club as well every cloud as they say lets hope for a win against QPR COYR
Craig, yes, with these 3 home matches a minimum of 7 points, and preferably all 9 points!!.
Unfortunately, football does not always work like this, but I have noticed several clubs have got maximum points in 3 matches, so why can’t do it?
They are probably clubs with a more settled side than us,and further up the division John…….can’t wait for the teamsheet for tonights game…….Will NJ change formation ? COYR
10 points only ever likely if the cheating team resorts to administration to renege on its debts
EFL much more concerned with the phoenix club proving it has funds to pay just the football creditors after resurrection
If/whenf Leicester appeal we can expect EFL to reduce or defer some of the points penalty
Greg, the old saying do not change a winning side, but unless there are injuries. I would not, but obviously again is playing with an ankle injury, and likely having injections to be able to play.
These next 3 home games are absolutely crucial, but this is football in that it never goes the way we want.
I fancy Godden to fire in his first goal, but not making any predictions on the result.
COYR
Jones did type it honest
Bottled it should be a least ten points, I agree with everyone got off lightly, COYR
