EFL wants to charge Leicester with financial rules breach if club relegated

Leicester escaped a possible points deduction this season after their legal team successfully argued that after relegation last summer they were not a Premier League club when they submitted their accounts for the 2022-23 season on 30 June 2023

The English Football League wants to charge Leicester over the alleged breach of profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) the Premier League was blocked from pursuing this month, if the club are relegated.

The EFL is understood to be seeking legal advice after an independent commission ruled the Premier League had no jurisdiction to charge Leicester for overspending during the 2022-23 campaign.
