Leicester City PSR breach.


Not really up on what they did tbh, do no idea how serious their breach was, but a 6 point penalty sounds like next to nowt. They most likely won't go down this season, weren't going to go up anyway, so whatever overspending they did seems to have been relatively unpunished
 
Haven’t they gone into administration before?

Early 2000s.

It was their actions that got the rules tightened.

I'm sure Gary Linekar was on the board at the time, but they took themselves into administration, wiped out the debt, terminated the contracts of their players, and then signed the vast majority of them back immediately on much lower wages.
Completely sorted out their finances and at the time there was no sanctions that could be used.

They got promoted and the furore caused the football authorities to start tightening the rules to stop clubs taking advantage like that again.
 
Leicester City are one of those clubs I don’t have any feeling for either way. And a club who will almost certainly be managed by Sean Dyche at some point in the future.
