Leicester win appeal

So this season… the three teams that go down can spend what they like when they are not members and therefore KNOW they can’t be punished !?

As I understand it the appeal was successful because Leicester’s accounting period finished after they were relegated and ceased to be a member of the Premier League. This meant it was impossible to say when their supposed overspend occurred. For example it may have occurred between that period between relegation and end of accounting period. I don’t see how this would apply to Everton but I am not sure with respect to Forest. It seems to be a very specific situation and came about as a result of Leicester innocently changing there accounting period.

So in other words, they’ve played on an interpretation of the rules (read a line from the hearing) and that’s got them away with it, yet they explicitly said that wording is not relevant nor a defence for ours. It’s just rotten

I don’t believe that is the case unless their accounting period also ends after their membership of the Premier League has ended. I suspect that the Premier League will act to prevent this from happening again this season if possible.

It’s certainly not fair but an excellent piece of work from Leicester’s legal team.

It is the wording of the verdict.

The EPL made all accounting periods the same 30th June. This is after the playoff final and so Leicester would have ceased to be EPL members. This is the basis of their “win”

However, surely it’s common sense that they were EPL members for the majority of the period and so perhaps they should pro rata the accounting period between EPL and EFL in the least.

How can we be punished then, when 100% most of our 3 year accounting period was NOT under Premier League jurisdiction?
 
The question that needs to be asked if Leicester’s legal team spotted these flaws in the prem
Leagues rules about having no jurisdiction over what happens when you are not in that league why didn’t our highly paid legal advisers spot the same flaws
 
If I remember correctly the PL actually refused to accept figures that EFL had already accepted, again a period when we were not under PL jurisdiction. It looks to me as if EM should be asking Mr De Marco a few questions about what he actually did to earn his fee
 
So have I got this right?

The EPL punished us for their arbitrary rewriting of our accounts for the promotion season - when we were in the EFL, so their case should have been thrown out in any case. And they wanted to dock us eight points.

We must have a claim for compensation for the unauthorised points deduction, and an apology.

Thank you Fulhamred. I will have to read the report again so that I can better understand the reasons behind the outcome.
 
It says something like it is impossible to prove if Leicester were in breach while still in the EPL. Bullshit. Quite easy to establish what their income and costs were for the few weeks after relegation up to end of their financial period. Add it all up and you will get the answers. Surely it should be for Leicester to prove that that weren’t in breach rather than saying none really knows so fuck off everyone. I would not be happy if Forest escaped by blatant cheating like this.
 
I’d like to spell this out for any of the ***** reading this Leicester aren’t our rivals never have been it’s just us and Direby you’re all on your own fixtures I’d look out for are Direby (but they are dog shit & aren’t even close to us) blunts (those Yorkshire wankers have been out in their place more in recent years where we are a double European champions and they aren’t even the biggest team in their grimy shit hole of a city where no one has won anything since football was black and white, Liverpoo they are playing a seperate sport but we are slowly catching up but anyone of my age missed European nights as a kid because of liverpoo, dirty Leeds I’ll always remember nearly leaving at 2-1 down when we went on to win 7-3, even when Sir Brian Clough was fucked and we were going down we still beat the dirty Yorkshire bastards 4-1 , maybe then there’s Leicester but I really personally do not care a jot about Leicester, granted they won the league out of nowhere which I actually give them credit for but they are always the Notts county annoying little brother club to me, they did win the league though & to be fair that is amazing, their finances are disgraceful & this recent episode continues that sad fact
 
I did think I understood the technicality of how they escaped despite not agreeing with it.

But I thought psr was judged July 1st to June 30th irrelevant of clubs account period. So surely this should include Leicester irrelevant of relegation. Or are they saying any club that gets relegated can ignore the relegation seasons PSR as neither EPL nor EFL can punish them for losses that year?

If EPL membership ends on 13th June why would any club have an accounting period that finishes before then? All a mess
