Drama off the pitch for Leicester City as they face an immediate six-point deduction for breaching the Profit & Sustainability (P&S) rules in 2023/24.
The Premier League’s investigation revealed that the Foxes exceeded the allowed P&S threshold by a staggering £20.8 million over the three-year period from 2022 to 2024.
Now back in the Championship, Leicester’s punishment was ratified by the EFL Board, following an Independent Commission’s recommendation.
The six-point deduction leaves the club dangling just above the relegation zone on goal difference, turning an already tense season into a fight for survival.
Fans will be anxiously watching every match, knowing that the club’s financial missteps have real consequences on the pitch.
Leicester’s situation is a stark reminder that financial fair play is no joke, and even historic clubs can face immediate and severe repercussions.
The Foxes now face a nerve-wracking climb to safety.
