'It cannot be right' - EFL issue strong statement after Leicester City avoid points deduction with PSR loophole slammed

Premier League

Newcastle

Leicester

The Foxes were facing charges of breaking Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) in the 2022-23 financial year, when they dropped from the Premier League into the Championship. The case was referred to an independent commission, as the Premier League alleged they had "exceeded the permitted £105 million threshold".<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/leicester-boost-foxes-avoid-premier-league-points-deduction-winning-psr-appeal/bltaa73f81a35e9a25e#cs0bcb92bb6ab9d116" target="_blank">The appeal was upheld as a result of relegation</a>, ruling that the period in question ended after the season finished, when Leicester were technically a Championship club.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The Premier League revealed that they were "surprised and disappointed" by the ruling and the EFL have now echoed that sentiment. Leicester are not necessarily out of the woods, yet, because the Premier League have asked the club to produce their 2023-24 accounts; <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/leicester-facing-points-deduction-premier-league-fresh-psr-charge-overspending/blt86637441532d30a5#cseeee41ace6b0e24c" target="_blank">if they have overspent, they face another PSR charge</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<a href="https://www.efl.com/news/2024/september/04/efl-statement--leicester-city/" target="_blank">The EFL said</a>: "The EFL notes the decision of the independent Appeal Board in respect of Leicester City’s appeal regarding the Premier League’s jurisdiction over the Club’s alleged breach of its Profitability and Sustainability Rules. We are currently reviewing the decision in full and will reserve any further substantive comment until any possible appeal process initiated by the Premier League has concluded, and or any action is taken by the EFL."We share the frustrations of the Premier League. It cannot be right that Clubs potentially escape the scrutiny of the agreed rules and sanctions due to movement across the divisions. Cost control rules have been agreed by the member clubs of the Premier League and EFL, and it is incumbent on the Leagues to apply the rules as intended to uphold the integrity of competitions, with Clubs required to act in utmost good faith towards one another for the benefit of all Clubs and their supporters."

WHAT THE EFL SAID

Leicester will next be in action against Crystal Palace on September 14. They have started the season with one draw and two defeats.
