Leicester City have decided to ‘fight’ the Premier League – it’s a ‘game-changer’, says Kieran Maguire
Leicester City have decided to ‘fight’ the Premier League after being charged with Profit and Sustainability Rules breaches.
That is the view of finance expert Kieran Maguire, who exclusively told Football Insider that this development is a “game changer for the history of football”.
The Foxes announced on Friday (22 March) that they have issued legal proceedings against both the EFL and the Premier League after they were charged with breaching financial regulations.
The EFL have placed Leicester under a registration embargo but the Foxes have disputed the punishment with a quarter of the 2023-24 accounting period still remaining.
If found guilty by an independent commission, Leicester could face a points deduction or a major fine depending on if they are promoted to the Premier League this season.
Leicester City will change ‘history of football’ with Premier League legal battle
Maguire explained that Leicester are “very unhappy” with the charges and have therefore decided to go head-to-head with the Premier League.
“Leicester City’s decision to start proceedings against both the Premier League and the EFL is a game-changer as far as the history of football is concerned,” Maguire told Football Insider’s Sean Fisher.
“Clearly, the club is very unhappy with the way that the two bodies have charged and made proceedings against themselves.
“Therefore, Leicester have now decided to fight back as best they can.“
