lot of bitterness and jealousy on here - not one of you would be bothered if we’d have done this.

FFP is horseshit and should be dropped. Only have to go back a few years back when technically we should have been kicked out the league for not having a home ground.

Remember how we took the piss out of Walsall when we played at Northampton but had Callum Wilson and Leon Clarke up front - they were arguing how we were passing FFP with crowds of 1k
there's no FFP in league 1, the sustainability rules there allow for massive spending, just look at blues.

There was at the time it’s on wages if I recall - 60% of the turnover on wages. Still is - can spend what you want but the wages need to be a % of turnover. Another farce in terms of the rules being all over the place

Leicester City nil points!!!!!
Suck it up boys.

We do face a charge for the actions of our players in the 93rd minute vs Villa so eager than a fine we’ll probably get deducted 10 points.
EFL couldn’t do us as we’d spent time in PL and PL couldn’t do us as we’d spent time in EFL. What a defence and it worked due to PL wording of rules being so appalling.

Leicester got a bunch of billionaires for owners and we got SISU ……

Urgghhh... you've forced me into deploying the poop bomb here. If we must, we can question the ethical acumination and use of their former owner's wealth but it is thoroughly unbritish to mock the dead and it makes us look backwards and bitter.

This kind of thing reflects badly on our club. When we beat them at the CBS, our fans behaviour stole the headlines. The current story is 'Leicester get away with cheating yet again'. Please consider how comments like this benefit our club.

It's a forum lol. You've literally got them fawning over cheating behaviour and lording it up on here!

Also, nobody specifically mentioned the owner btw, merely pointing out how ours couldn't afford a wealthy possession that someone rich might have, it could have easily been speedboat or mansion 🤣😉

Anyhow, deaths get mocked on jokes, days or less after celebrities die. If we really can't take the pee out of that of a bitter rival 6 years after then, it's a poor show. Certainly no different to Sunderland fans regarding Jimmy Hill, and as he wasn't a personal friend, it doesn't trigger me. A bit of sympathy for their owners mistress, who was also in the crash, probably fairer than for him.

If I’ve understood the reasoning behind this judgement to be that Leicester financial year end being 2 days after they were PL members.
Therefore, the overspending comes under the EFL rules. Along with their overspending in 23-24 season.
If Leicester get relegated this season, surely the EFL can sanction them. I would suggest starting with minus 50 points

More proof if needed that football fans will say anything to justify anything they or their club do.....

So the PL have fucked up - they should
Have charged them now

I don’t see why, as I said in my original post on this thread, they can’t bring the charges again now while they are PL members.

They deserve to be very heavily sanctioned, not just because of the rule breaches themselves, but because of the blatant way in which they have tried to avoid punishment by artificial means.

I think a fair punishment would be a twenty point deduction and not receiving any PL payments this season nor any parachute payments if they are relegated. I do appreciate that this won’t happen.

How did they escape punishment for this when Forest were given a deduction after just one season?

Based on what I could see scanning over the decision, and I am no legal expert, the Appeal Board concluded that Leicester City's accounting procedure for PSR was not completed by the time it had transferred its Premier League share to Luton Town. During the time between the transferring of its share and concluding business up until the point it had to sign off its accounts, it is unknown whether business was conducted that brought up under the £105mil loss threshold, and certain wording noted in the PSRs could be considered to only be valid for members of the Premier League, which Leicester was not at the time.

Leicester did change the deadline, and therefore the period of accounting for that year, and this date was after the transferring of its PL share, but it did so compliantly and with no evidence of malicious intent to purposely circumvent the PSR. The Appeal Board appreciated that the decision was dependent on this change. Based on what I have seen, the rules are not well written, and Leicester have got away with it on a technicality.

You can’t within law charge someone twice. They don’t deserve to be sanctioned because the rules are pure bollocks.

I said it earlier it’s just bitterness and jealousy. If I became a billionaire over night there’s not one person in here that wouldn’t be cheering me on to spend 500m

But the original charge was void for want of jurisdiction, so it shouldn’t count as a charge.

Obviously it all depends upon the rules. I don’t think that rules which apply in other areas, such as the criminal law, are relevant.

This is the same thing again, Leicester exploit a loophole in the football rules. PL will just change their rules and close this loophole, so if anyone else tries it on the future they will get burnt.

You’re one of these types who applauds tycoons coming in and turning English football into what it’s become, I take it.

I’m one of these people who doesn’t agree with not allowing teams to move up. The fuck up was allowing United to become a PLC in the 90s and loophole that.

how are you supposed to organically grow when the deck is stacked towards the teams already.

United were paid more prize money than most of the teams in the CL because of legacy. Why are the Villa for instance having to sell whilst United can spend another 200m ?
