According to Phil Hay, Leicester City may face consequences this season, although Leeds United maintains they have not broken any profit or sustainability regulations.

According to The Athletic journalist, both teams were subject to the same £83 million loss cap under PSR; Leeds maintains they have remained compliant, while Leicester is apparently under scrutiny.

According to an earlier report by iNews on March 12, Leeds would likely exceed a cost cap of approximately £11 million if they were promoted back to the Premier League, hence potentially breaking planned spending regulations.

Hay said that in order to avoid financial difficulties, the team will need to balance the books during the transfer window if they don’t earn promotion this season.

Could Leicester City receive a points deduction?

With less than ten games remaining, it would be challenging to finalise before the season ends, but according to The Athletic’s story, the EFL would prefer to fine Leicester for any suspected financial infractions this season.

Leeds will be even more irritated by this, given they have cut the gap on the league leaders, and a possible loss of points may propel them up the standings and increase their chances of winning the title or getting promoted automatically.

This has reportedly caused discontent at Elland Road as well, as the team has been competing with Leicester for promotion while adhering to the regulations, much like they did with Everton.

Leeds feels they have been badly impacted by another team breaking the rules while they have stayed inside the restrictions placed on them, maybe to their own harm. This situation can be compared to Everton’s in the Premier League.
