Explained: Why Leicester will avoid points deduction this season despite allegedly breaking PSR rules - but they could be hit with sanctions upon return to Premier League

<p>The Premier League's PSR rules have seen a lot of the headlines in the media this season amid a crackdown on breaches, with teams like <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/everton-six-point-premier-league-penalty-former-financial-advisor-manchester-city/blt990245d910cdfaba" target="_blank">Everton</a>, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/nottingham-forest-docked-four-points-breaching-premier-league-profit-sustainability-rules-blow-survival-hopes/blt2e1b73525c362f0d" target="_blank">Nottingham Forest</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/sheffield-united-punished-premier-league-strugglers-hit-hard-by-points-deduction-but-there-s-a-catch/bltf6e3bc62af631df0" target="_blank">Sheffield United</a> being hit with points deductions. However, despite Leicester having allegedly breached the rules as well, they will not be docked points from their Championship tally due to legal restrictions.   </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>After being charged for the breach last month, the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/leicester-city-placed-transfer-embargo-allegedly-breaching-profit-sustainability-rules-sue-premier-league-efl/bltf7627f372e1d238a" target="_blank">Foxes took up legal action against the English Football League (EFL)</a> by claiming that a points deduction in the Championship for their <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/leicester-city-premier-league-angry-statement-points-deduction-profit-sustainability-rules/blt44f129e5218527d8" target="_blank">offenses in the Premier League would be unlawful</a>. Following the legal recourse, the EFL has now agreed that the limitations in the regulations will not allow them to dock points from the Championship league leaders. </p>

THE EXPLANATION

<p>In a statement, the EFL announced: "Having taken legal advice, the EFL has confirmed to all parties that whilst it would want to respect any decision of a Premier League disciplinary commission (and vice versa) to deduct points in the EFL, it does not have the power under the regulations as currently drafted."  </p>

WHAT THE EFL SAID

<p>Earlier this month, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/trouble-brewing-leicester-foxes-confirm-staggering-financial-losses-points-deduction/blt0a6b3d8de8c1f0c9#csc5510c3a20e27a48" target="_blank">Leicester confirmed losses of £89.7 million ($112.7m)</a> for the 2022-23 season which took their total losses over the last three seasons, all of which they spent in the top-flight, to a total of £215m ($270.2m). The Premier League permits under £105m ($132m) of losses over a three-year period which <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/leicester-facing-points-deduction-next-season-foxes-financial-crisis/blt1e0bab3ce31431e2" target="_blank">brought around their breach of the PSR rules</a>.  </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>While the EFL cannot dock the Foxes' Championship points tally, the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/leicester-facing-points-deduction-next-season-foxes-financial-crisis/blt1e0bab3ce31431e2" target="_blank">Premier League will likely hit them with a points deduction</a> upon their return to the top-flight, which will likely be in the upcoming season with Leicester leading the charts in the Championship. </p>
