Leicester City PSR breach.

[HerculesNdlovuAffair]

Glad they finally got their comeuppance.

Man City next, please!

City the cheating bstards should suffer the same fate as Rangers.. Plus every title should be stripped and they should be demoted so they are playing Gateshead nxt season. Foul rats belong in the same Sewer as the Visitors.

Reading their forum they’re delighted with just 6 points

The greed is with the players and not the clubs though. So how do you reset that? Owners don’t really make any money out of being in the PL (until they sell the club for a profit), in fact they usually lose money, it’s all about ego and status for them. It’s the players that are the really greedy ones, surely - for example staff costs for Leicester in 2023 were £205m (116% of total revenue), I don’t think that the tea lady, kit man, and groundskeeper saw much of that money

How are the players greedy? They are providing clubs with an elite service that very few people on the planet can provide, it's simple supply and demand. The elite service they provide is keeping clubs in the premier league, which enables owners to cash in on the rapidly increasing revenue in football, when they sell the club.

There is a billion people who can be the tea lady, so she cannot demand big wages.

Won't happen unfortunately, dont get me wrong it most definitely should happen but it won't.

Money talks and man city's owners have plenty, they will threaten the fa and premier league hierarchy and any punishment will be tiny compared to the offences committed

 

[SAFC_WB]

Let any mention of Man City is responded with stoney silence by the FA.

Corruption of the highest order

In line for a FIFA World Peace award they are so corrupt.

Basically got their stadium for free IIRC (that may have been someone else mind)

Bloke I knew back when the stadium was being built/ handed over moved from Norfolk back to Leicester to take over as head of the stadium facilities management.
Asked him to get me tickets for the match against the lads, twat said no

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.

Was a bankrupt bloke on the radio.

They were still using all his fridges/coolers in their new ground despite never paying for them.

Shite really. He was a fan too iirc.

 

[FoldingStars]

Fair enough Leicester might’ve messed up but this shows they can push these issues through without pissing around. Give mam city their penalty too lads

It’s not exactly been deal with quickly. Also how many charges were brought against Leicester?

Thankfully the rules have now changed but really the people comparing this to City are miles off again, it’s apples and oranges.

You’d hope so, it’s the Premier League who have charged them not the FA.

 

[columbo]

I predict at the least City will be busted to Leauge 1. If you look at the points deduction other clubs have had for their infringments then if City are found guilty of just 80 charges of the 115, that they are charged with then i think leauge one is the best City should be looking at. I expect they will be stripped of silverware too.

 

[BillBull]

They will appeal every charge one at a time it will take years

And in most cases its the people acting on behalf of the player who are the greedy ones. Demanding massive wages to keep their client happy but then also demanding ridiculous fees themselves.

 

[Lord Nigle]

My brother is a longtime Leicester match goer, and you're right it was over debts related to the then newly built Walker's Stadium. Iirc a lot of local businesses got hit by it.

This! Leicester basically played the system and got away with it.

They’re a snide shithouse club for what they did .

That's absolutely obscene.

That kind of anecdote really puts into perspective their smugness when they were questioned and they just basically shrugged their shoulders and said "it's not against the rules".

Po - tato - Po - tatoe you get the gist

Wow. I don’t really know what to make of that.

You genuinely don’t think that people who are earning £50k to £100k (and more) per week who demand more from their employer alongside the threat of leaving, whilst knowing that their employer is losing money and sometimes making cuts elsewhere, are being greedy?

And ‘elite service’? That’s quite a stretch. There are maybe 30 ‘elite’ footballers that would get into most teams playing in England (possibly less), and yet the number of footballers in England earning >£1m per annum stretches into the thousands. Do you genuinely not see that as an issue?

 

[Boinger]

You're a bit all over the place with who's who mate. This was the finding of an independent Disciplinary Commission established by the Premier League, not the EFL. It doesn't matter what the Premier League or, for that matter, the EFL wanted - the decision is that of an independent body.

Didn't realise that, thanks for the info.

 

[Kent Boy 2]

I’ll be blunt. Most of the supporters complaining about Leicester not getting a bigger penalty, will also be the supporters who constantly shout for KLD to open his chequebook and buy more players.

 

[Captain White]

They will appeal every charge one at a time it will take decades.

Tidied.
