We have accepted the decision. 

Where?

Leicester City FC notes the Tribunal decision which has been published today.
 

The Club is pleased that it successfully defended the Premier League’s challenge to the Appeal Board decision in relation to the PSR assessment period ending FY23, which was the main focus of these proceedings.

The Premier League’s own rules provide a deliberately high threshold for any challenge to the decision of an Appeal Board. In this case, the Appeal Board’s decision was only capable of being overturned if it could be shown to have resulted from a “perverse interpretation of the law” or was a decision “which could not reasonably have been reached”.
 

The Appeal Board decision was reached by a highly experienced panel (including two former Court of Appeal judges) and, although the tribunal may have disagreed with the decision, it dismissed the Premier League’s challenge, finding (consistent with the arguments made by the Club all along) that the Appeal Board decision “could not sensibly be seen as resulting from a perverse interpretation of the law”.
 

The tribunal also concluded that the Premier League was successful in establishing jurisdiction on one of the two grounds argued by the Premier League with respect to the assessment period ending FY24, and the Premier League has now referred this to an independent Commission. Consistent with its previous commitments, the Club intends to engage cooperatively in this matter now that the Premier League’s jurisdiction has been established for the period ending FY24. However, we will not be able to comment further on these proceedings until they are concluded, due to their confidential nature.

Makes sense. This is why the changed rule. They win. Our owners fault. Hate this club. 

[Bert]

I wonder if they’ll try and argue that the ruling was changed after we’d completed 23/24. 

[teblin]

Just give us the punishment now, let us get on with planning. 
 

We broke the rules accept it, but the uncertainty turns it into a perpetual issue.

Feels weird that they can change the rules after the event and then go after us. 

More examples of made up rules being changed and made on the fly by all

We have morons in our fan base who are constantly talking about “be careful what you wish for” “Rudkin in” “safe pair of hands”

 

we are the only club in constant breach of PSR regulation. Put aside the restrictions of these rules, focus on our inability to manoeuvre around them like every single one of our competitors, it shows mismanagement,

 

So if you’re a “be careful what you wish for” “Top is great, I hope he shags my wife” “Rudkin in”, “don’t protest” wankstain. Explain why it’s us again. Because the club sure won’t.

Yep

 

We need maximum exposure right now to how inept the clubs hierarchy are. This is the perfect exposure. 

[Jakemoore]

Isn’t it ironic that they brought PSR in to improve the game we all love, and all it’s done is kill it totally. I’d actually rather go back to the closed shop top 6 then have to keep reading about another alleged breach of a smaller club like ours.

 

Having said all that, the club is nothing short of a joke. They only have themselves to blame. I feel so totally detached from this shitshow.

 

[KFS]

Reminder to people that two things can be true at once… Our board is awful but these made up rules smack of them just wanting to get revenge for Di Marco making them look like a bunch of clowns

[KFS]

Also, bottle the memories from Sunday because that’s the last you’ll ever feel for an lcfc player who’s an all time premier league great

Nick Di Marco making a killing from the vendetta to punish us but repeated failure to do so

You are forgetting the main culprit Top!

Not sure he can be sacked though, however if he is not prepared to oversee systemic change then he should accept it’s time to step back and either sell up or appoint someone to oversee the running of the club, he can still be the owner but step back from being chairman. 

[urban.spaceman]

The Premier League and the EFL have completely broken the sport.

[broughtonblue]

Ffs just accept it, move on, and start afresh, so fed up with my club being dragged through the shite,

I would imagine the lawyers will look at that as an ex post facto ruling.

And we all come back crashing down to earth with a bump after Sunday

 

This club is a joke. 

 

The board cannot survive this, surely. 

Any right minded owner / majority Shareholder of any organisation would not want to avoid these costly legal battles that seem to negate the possibility of success and profitability. You would restructure and hold people accountable. 
 

This is dereliction of duty and self sabotage but he just seems so oblivious to it. The board survives because Top probably has no connection to the industry other than through JR and is reliant on him to do or change anything and we know JR wouldn’t entertain a DOF under Potter which seemed like a much needed logical change. 
 

We currently sit here not knowing RVN’s future. While Ipswich and Southampton look organised already ahead of the new season, months away, we again know that the board will delay and dither. I’ve discussed at length managers we could go for Rohl etc but who in their right mind will want to deal with this mess when it’s clear for anyone that this board is incompetent and can’t be trusted. Your long term journey here is unpredictable or short, everything is planned on a myopic whim, we’ll throw bad money after bad now become our new manager / player.

An absolute total shitshow by our owner and board.It really is embarrassing and could  set us back years if their not careful.

The horse has well and truly bolted on preventing that.

Lawyers and Silks are the the only winners when people can’t play nicely together!

 

I hope he strings it out again and wins it for us, because the EPL and EFL are just as amateur as our board.

Nothing changes if nothing changes. 

[kingfox]

What lovely news to wake up to.

 

But according to Guy Branston, Rudkin is the best in the biz. 

[21st Century Fox]

Remember when football used to play out on a pitch… ah good times.

My thoughts exactly.

 

So bored of reading about us breaching financial rules, that no other club seems to be as flippant/consistently arrogant towards.

[James_lcfc]

Not particularly worried.

 

We'll worm our way out of it, we always do.
