Leicester City have been charged by the Premier League over alleged breaches of the EFL’s financial rules for the 2023/24 season.
The three new charges, announced on Tuesday, relate specifically to last season when Leicester were in the Championship.
If found guilty the Foxes, who will play in the second tier again next term following relegation, could be handed a points deduction.
The club also revealed on Tuesday that they are in the clear over separate charges previously brought by the Premier League relating to the 2022/23 season.
What are the new charges?
The new charges relate to Leicester’s Championship-winning campaign.
Even though the club were not in the competition at that time, the Premier League has jurisdiction to charge Leicester over those alleged breaches.
This is off the back of a new tightening of the rules between the Premier League and the EFL – and the Premier League will continue to have jurisdiction in this case despite Leicester’s impending relegation.
Leicester say they intend to “engage co-operatively” in the matter now that the Premier League’s jurisdiction has been established.
What were the previous charges?
Leicester had originally been charged by the Premier League for alleged PSR breaches concerning the 2022/23 campaign.
An independent commission initially ruled that the Premier League did have jurisdiction in this case, however Leicester successfully appealed against that decision on the basis that they were in the Championship when the charges were brought.
The Premier League appealed against Leicester’s successful appeal, and while the latest tribunal said it agrees with the Premier League in principle, it decided it would not overturn the successful Leicester appeal because the bar is too high and the Premier League has not met that bar, meaning Leicester are now in the clear for the financial year 2022/23.
