Leicester City, along with Leeds and Southampton, were relegated last season due to financial regulations
Everton received a 10point deduction for breaching the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules
Everton have been charged again for going over the financial limit in the three years up to and including the 202223 campaign
Leicester City, along with Leeds United and Southampton, were all relegated from the Premier League last season as a result of breaching financial regulations. This came after Everton was found to have breached the league's Profit and Sustainability Rules but only received a 10point deduction as punishment. Had they received this penalty earlier, Leicester City would have stayed up in their place.
Now, both Everton and Nottingham Forest are facing further charges for exceeding financial limits during recent seasons. Both clubs finished directly above Leicester City in the relegation battle. While Everton is expected to argue against receiving double punishment, Forest will plead mitigation. However, both teams could suffer points deductions.
For Leicester City fans who saw their team miss out on survival by just two points due to reinedin spending following previous breaches of financial rules themselves; missing out on Premier League revenue has had significant consequences.
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher believes that while he feels an initial 10point penalty against Everton was harsh at first glance; it should be reduced upon appeal. He also acknowledges that other clubs such as Leeds United and Southampton may feel they have been punished more severely than ever having faced relegation without any leniency given towards them regarding similar issues.
In conclusion,
Leicester City supporters can certainly make a case for feeling hard done by considering how close they came to avoiding relegation despite making efforts not breaking any rules themselves . The implications of these punishments extend beyond mere point deductions impacting club finances significantly which ultimately affects player recruitment options too.
