Just about to post this. They got away with all sorts of skullduggery years ago. A chicken is on its way home.

Horrible club. Won't ever forget when they went into admin with thirty million pounds worth of debt and screwed small businesses, the company who built their stadium and even the ambulance service over. Twats deserve everything they get.

I've limited sympathy for Leicester. Especially when clubs around them have struggled and sold to comply with rules. But the PSR rules are becoming a bit of a farce. Bottom half clubs spend beyond their means because that's how the PL works.
If you don't spend beyond your means, you risk being outpaced by your rivals and going down, let alone being able to compete with the few very big clubs.
If the PL starts to really clamp down on spending, it is going to become even more of a predicable closed shop than it already is and the existing hierarchies in the division will become permanently entrenched.
Let alone the fact that it's going to quickly become a PR disaster for the Premier League if they keep coming after clubs like Forest, Wolves, Leicester etc. while Man City have hundreds of unresolved charges and Chelsea are handing out 8-year contracts to £100m+ signings with impunity.
I am genuinely all for making football more sustainable and getting absurd spending down. But the elephant in the room is that nothing in the history of the sport has done more to create this culture of reckless spending than the inception of the Premier League itself*. Trying to restore some order into proceedings now is the PL closing the stable door about 25 years after the horse bolted.
*(The re-formatting of the European Cup into the Champions League a close second).

Didn’t Leicester go bust a few years ago and screwed over a load of small business who ended up with something like 5p in the pound? I’m sure they will have few morals in wriggling out of this.

Certainly did mate. They owed the company who built their ground over five million, sent alot of small businesses under and even owed the ambulance service money that they got out of paying. That's why it sickened me with all the fairytale shit they got when they won the league. |

That's going to be another promoted club that just get their arses whipped week in and week out in the PL then.
Not a good look for the game.
Anyway looks like they will get away with it to me.

They are not the only club to have breached the rules, both QPR and Bournemouth (in the year they got promoted) also did so and settled a figure with the EFL.
It's just bizarre really.

QPR were promised if they came back down to the EFL they would be taken to the cleaners by the EFL, quick meeting in the bush and they agreed to pay a poultry fine and bingo all is well, Leicester fucked over schools and small businesses and came out on top of the world, hope they get hammered! |

How are Aston Villa getting away with £120m loss over last financial year. Apparently they’re allowed to lose £105m over 3 years but say they’ve broken no FFP rules. Their wage bill alone increased from £134m to £194m last year. Anybody care to explain how they get away with this. It’s fucking immoral.

EFL need to set an example on this. Take all their points and award them to whichever team is third bottom in the table at the minute - only fair resolution.

Imagine using a loophole to get away with financial mismanagement. There’s some short memories here. Looking at the Leicester forum, as with others in this situation, it just shows that when this kind of stuff applies to your own club, it's either smart accountancy, or a conspiracy theory, and being unfairly targeted. |

Imagine using a loophole to get away with financial mismanagement. There’s some short memories here. From how it's described with the things we do, it's more a case of us going to the EFL and being like "Wouldn't it be cool if we did this" and the EFL just tell us to crack on. I think they must just like being involved and are incredibly temperamental when it comes to surprises. |

Yes the same obnoxious Gary Lineker who single-handedly won them a Premier League title in a seriously compromised season in which each and every referee decision was given in their favour so much so that they ended up winning the league in spite of the fact that they played a wardrobe as center half. It was a complete farce that year. The FA wanted to create the myth that any team can win the EPL to further increase its global popularity (and of course, it’s revenue) and Leicester was the perfect fit for this carefully created fairytale |
