Leeds United are considering taking legal action against Leicester City as the Elland Road club explore how the Foxes’ Profitability and Sustainability Rules’ issues affected two of their seasons, according to The Times. Leeds got relegated in 2022-23 alongside Leicester, while the Foxes gained automatic promotion back to the Premier League in 2023-24, with the West Yorkshire club losing in the play-offs. Leicester were docked six points last season after they were charged by the Premier League for breaking spending thresholds in 2023-24. They won an appeal against an alleged breach of PSR regulations for the 2022-23 season in September 2024, arguing that the Premier League had acted outside of its jurisdiction.
 

Leeds believe they could have stayed up in both seasons and will look to draw parallels from Burnley’s compensation victory over Everton earlier this month. The Clarets argued that they would have avoided Premier League relegation in 2022 had the Everton’s six-point punishment for breaking PSR been applied during the season of the breach (2022-23) and not in 2023-24. The Toffees have been ordered to pay Burnley almost £40 million, and Leeds are hoping to get a similar compensation from Leicester.

Then we will sue Everton for when we went down by 1 point and they broke PSR.

This part doesn't make sense anyway, but also they'd of still gone down they'd of just finished above us when we both went down in 22/23 and even a 6 point deduction in 23/24 would of had them still in third

Football may as well just get played out in the courts at this stage.

 

This is getting, really, really boring.

 

When can we claim against Manchester City and missing out on becoming an elite club? 
 

Or how David Speedie dived, costing us Premier League millions? 
 

Or Johnson’s dive in the 5th round of the FA Cup for Chelsea which knocked us out? 
 

Emotional damage caused by Troy Deeneey.  
 

Consequential losses by figment of imagination is just stupid.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if we're looking at this. Another nice deflection tactic.

[Cropwellfox]

Problem is the floodgates have opened now. If there’s a fine anywhere near that Everton were given then that probably means the end of the 1884 Leicester City, we will go bankrupt 

[Ric Flair]

Hahaha beat us home and away and still finished more points behind us than we were deducted for the equivalent season  someone probably needs to have a quiet word with them that they're in danger of looking very silly.

[BeaumontFox]

Game is gone

[Wymsey]

Think all clubs, that want to sue other clubs on PSR-related matters, should all actually sue the Premier League..

[moore_94]

Ok we will go back and take 6 points off our total in 2023/24 instead then... oh. Leeds are still below us.

 

 

What if we had been given a 6 point deduction in 2022/23...?

 

 

You can have the £2m or whatever it is we got for finishing a position higher then

 

In both cases they are still either not promoted or are still relegated, its nothing like Burnley's case

Football is an unimaginable mess.

Honestly, football is utterly broken. Just get over it. Leeds are in the premier League and we're a financial mess in League 1. It's all done. 

 

Honestly just play the sport on the pitch. Fed up with all this crap on PSR, suing etc....move on!!!!

Everyone will sue everyone else....it's pointless

De Marco needs his own office 

[Corky]

A poorly written article. If we had been deducted points in 22/23, they would have finished 18th instead of 19th. They would get £2 million at most for that.

 

How do they believe that this had a bearing on them staying up in 23/24 if they had avoided relegation in 2023 which, again, us being deducted points would not have enabled?

[winteriscoming]

Fvck off Leeds!!!!

Get him on the books and get him up top!!

[davieG]

It does beg the question that maybe clubs should be fined instead of points deduction and the money given out to those genuinely affected.

[UniFox21]

May as well call it a day if they're successful. 

[Jaspa]

Nice new income streams for the high tier lawyers in this particular field. More American owned Clubs involved aswell, seems they're uncomfortable with the permeations of relegation, suprise suprise. 

 

Games gone 

[Foxin_Mad]

If Leeds do this they are idiots, it’s hard to argue we really gained any sporting advantage given we are 2 divisions below them now. If I were a judge I’d award Leicester all of Leeds tv money for wasting the courts time with such stupidity. 

[lookwhaticando]

Jokes on them, you can’t get blood from a ****ing stone. 

[enmac]

May s well just declare bankruptcy.
