Popular Post Pliskin Posted 21 March Popular Post Share Posted 21 March I just don’t think this will stick, I think we’ve purposely sat and waited, we would have gotten legal advice, and potentially the advice might be just wait and see what the EPL do, the EFL were hasty with their decisions, and now the EPL have been hasty with theirs. It’s okay criticising the club saying they haven’t got a clue, but, perhaps the legal advice passed was to just sit and wait and see what happens, who makes the first move. I’m pretty confident the premier league can’t go imposing charges when you’re not even in the premier league, there will be some sort of loophole there, that we will probably have hoped would happen. This is all early days, and the premier league are blindly pursuing all of the wrong clubs, but our case is not as cut and dry as Everton’s and Forest’s because we got relegated, so technically for half of 2023 we were not an EPL side…. I’m thinking that they’ve potentially screwed themselves now because they’re that desperate to throw their weight around they still don’t fully understand how they’re applying the rules. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could **** our season up. Because this is the time of year when accounts are released etc. and the FFP cycle for the PSR calculation. LCFc could have chosen to comply and control that timeframe. Instead we are to challenge the rules (or like of provision in the rules) to get ourselves off. I find the lack of responsibility again - just like I through the last three years - another example in the lack of leadership 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds to me like we didn’t need to do so by when the Prem were trying to tell us to? Which is why they have had to refer us “Leicester City were relegated to the EFL Championship prior to the introduction of the Premier League’s new Standard Directions, which prescribe a timeline within which PSR cases should be heard. Therefore, the proceedings will be conducted in accordance with a timetable to be set by the independent Commission, and its final decision will be published on the Premier League’s website.” Edited 21 March by moore_94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those charges will be wrapped up and kicked down the road by a legal team funded by a whole oil rich nation. It will be the usual tactic of delay and stall until someone wants to settle or give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosbehFox Posted 21 March Share Posted 21 March Effectively we are attempting to push it down the road further enough that the rules change at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all unprecedented, the EPL and EFL are keen to implement the rules, but I’m pretty sure they probably don’t understand the rules fully themselves… We are currently sat in a grey area, we’re not a premier league side, so it’s likely, like we did with the EFL have followed some advice that’s said “let them make the first move” almost like a disclosure in criminal law, see what they’re saying and then prepare to counter. We won’t just be sat around not knowing what we’re doing, we’re probably hiding our time because we feel confident there’s a loophole in the regulations that we feel we can exploit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mister Posted 21 March Share Posted 21 March Ridiculous decision by the EPL. It is about time that FFP is abolished as it has been created to solely have a closed shop of a few clubs that can compete at the the high level. All clubs should be allowed to spend money to their hearts content. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rusko187 Posted 21 March Popular Post Share Posted 21 March What is even the point in competeing in football if the leagues are going to clip your wings. We have money, the owners have always maintained that but because of some nonsense PSR ruling we cannot maximise it. It's a total load of nonsense that isn't fit for purpose, the only thing it's effective at doing is keeping the CL spots a closed shop and if any team dares to try, they will only go down the same path as us. Said it before, I'll say it again... with this and VAR they are really making Football a hard sport to love. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terraloon Posted 21 March Share Posted 21 March 13 minutes ago, Pliskin said: We have a point though…….. could this premature announcement come back to bite them in the arse? Some years ago QPR managed to avoid EFL sanctions because they had been promoted their case was only dealt with when they came back down. In both the EFL and PL rules on this clubs that get promoted/ relegated remain under the jurisdiction of the league for the year of their accounts. In other words Leicester would be measured against PL criteria contained within the 22/23 Pl rule book. That in essence was the case we recently were learned about however it was made clear that the accelerated process in the PL 23/24 rulebook wasn’t something that could apply to Forest but charges under the PSR ( (PL) process could.

They’ve taken legal advice for sure. We are effectively just try to push the punishment on and dance with divisional changes. Which just makes the need to be promoted even higher stakes before. It’s high risk stuff. Take the punishment on the chin and on we go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PL are as much to blame for this as the clubs, they should have rules for for purpose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
