teblin Posted 7 March Share Posted 7 March It’s so strange, so you spend more that you should be to punish a club for that they fine you or make it so you might lose revenue. you can’t speculate to accumulate as that would mean breaching and getting near the top 6.

LVFox Posted 7 March Share Posted 7 March Here's what I don't understand. We haven't recently submitted any accounts to show any change of situation (better or worse) since our 21/22 accounts submission, so why the sudden rush of news regarding this? Surely until 22/23 is submitted, this is a complete non-story? No smoke without fire and its obvious we will either be screwed or just scrape by, but I can't understand what's led to this week being full of stories? Similarly, am I right that 22/23 will include both Fofana and Maddison sales? And if so, how the hell are they going to be a bad set of accounts? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we submit our accounts for 2022/23 later this month, the PL MIGHT charge us for breaking the rules IF our accounts over the past three years show we are in breach.

Usually pretty accurate yes, but I just don't see what he's saying that we didn't already know. That 21/22 was so bad that 22/23 has to be better or we are screwed...we all know that, and more importantly the club did. Its why we only replaced Fofana with Faes. Either we cut our cloth accordingly in 22/23 and relegation is the cost of that, or we still screwed it, got relegated and then still spent a decent amount this summer. Something doesn't make sense about all of this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real excitement anymore, my passion for Leicester will never waiver but the rest of football just doesn’t bother me Exactly this. I’ll watch us whatever league we’re in or how crap we are.

UniFox21 Posted 7 March Share Posted 7 March - relegated due to our incompetence and 2 clubs in the 2 places above us cheating - failing champ FFP because of it - failing Prem ffp because of relegation and drop in revenue - 2x fines and points deductions God I love English footy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Qwerty Posted 7 March Popular Post Share Posted 7 March All of this makes me even more angry about what happened with Everton. If they’d been punished in the correct year (as teams will be in future), we would never have been relegated. Instead, we got relegated, and Everton got a points deduction in a year when the bottom 3 are possibly the worst ever. So they’re safe. Meanwhile we had all the lost revenue that comes with relegation, the possibility of a double punishment, and harsher financial conditions due to the Championship permitted losses being lower than the PL. I hope litigation is being considered. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disagreeing, but that article does not reveal anything new. It seems that our hopes depend wholly on our 22/23 accounts being vastly more healthy than the entire footballing world expects them to be. I do hope we have employed some half-decent accountants and lawyers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not new and my point was more in response to the dismissal of the sun because its the sun, then we had the slander on percy and now Ziegler has piled in. There's definitely something up. And now I'm speculating here, which I know is frowned upon by some posters, but it's entirely possible we changed strategy mid year last threw caution to the wind and spent cash in January which pushed us over the edge. And as for this summer, again its possible the club thought **** it, given they'd got relegated by trying to comply and not see anyone be punished (this is pre Everton) they threw caution to the wind and spent. Only then in January did they realise its been pushed too far. We didn't have a head of finance for a period of 6 months through the end of last season when Capper was on gardening leave as well so there's every chance we lost control of the finances. Again speculation, (sorry, not sorry) but there's a strong chance we've ****ed it here based on all the noise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVFox Posted 7 March Share Posted 7 March Only explanation of all the timing of this that I can come up with. The club are leaking all this, accounts will be awful but not bad enough to break rules, makes us all feel grateful we don't get a points deduction, but we will have f all to spend in the summer.

I don't think it's us, it's rival clubs - that's the suggestion in the Times article: "Relegated clubs must still submit accounts to the Premier League for the past three seasons and some of Leicester’s rivals believe they may be in breach of the maximum £105 million spending losses."

Yes you're right, as is @Chocolate Teapot All come from external news so can't really be the club doing this....I find it all massively odd, as it isn't really news. More people realising how awful our 21/22 accounts were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
