Leicester City PSR breach.


Dodgy as fuck that like!


Mind you I'm sick of hearing about how awful these PSR rules are.
If you can't stay within budget when you make more than £100M a year, you're shit at your job
 
So if they weren’t in the PL jurisdiction at year end then they must have been in the EFL jurisdiction which means that their PSR / FFP breach is greater based on EFL rules.

So if/when they get relegated then the EFL should be able to punish them accordingly.

EFL fixtures are out before 30th June so that must've put them under the EFLs jurisdiction then (otherwise why would they create a seasons worth of EFL fixtures for them)?

So the premier league couldn’t charge them because they had been related. Ok, I get it.
They are now back in the premier league so why can’t they charge them again now?

Judgement doesn’t say the Premier League couldn’t charge them because they weren’t members at the point they were charged it says they didn’t break the rules for 22/23 in the first place because they weren’t members at the point the rules applied and the rules weren’t written to cover the possibility they might need to apply to clubs that weren’t members anymore (which looks a bit of a basic schoolboy error to me and doesn’t fill me with hope that the same rules will cover the much more subtle tricks Man City have been accused of).
 
It’s embarrassing for the PL like. But it’s a specific scenario loophole they can surely now close.

As someone said though Man City’s lawyers will be even sharper and have 113 loopholes to find or whatever it is. I mean you can imagine appeals and counter appeals taking this through the courts for years

But they would then argue there was a large part of that accounting period where they were outside EFL jurisdiction and it's therefore impossible to tell which period they overspent. It will be the same argument - which is going to cause massive problems. What this ruling is effectively saying, is you can spend whatever you want in the premier league and ignore PSR as long as you are relegated within 3 seasons of being in the premier league.

So Ipswich in theory could keep throwing money at it, then if they get relegated they won't be punished. They would then no doubt bounce straight back up, meaning they could again argue the EFL can't punish as they're no longer EFL club. As long as they keep yo-yoing between division they can't be punished.

Once again an absolute farce. Man City lawyers will be watching all these cases and finding all the loopholes possible.
