Breaking News: In light of the growing concerns regarding FFP, another Premier League club can be subject to a point deduction

Everton lost six points because they broke the Premier League’s rules on profit and sustainability. A new team could be hit with the same penalties.

A loss of points could happen to Leicester City if they get promoted to the Premier League.

Three points separate Enzo Maresca’s team from second-placed Ipswich Town and five separate them from fourth-placed Leeds United. Fans will be happy to hear that their team is going back to the top level of English football right away, but they may be in for a surprise.

There was a £105 million cap on losses for three years, which ended last season. Both Premier League and Championship clubs think they are over that limit. Clubs also think that the Foxes will lose more than the £83 million they are allowed to lose over the next three seasons. The EFL only lets teams lose £13 million per season.

If the Foxes get promoted back to the Premier League, they will not have to face those charges. It is said to be frustrating for teams because they don’t know who is in charge of checking a team’s finances for the season, whether they were promoted or relegated.

Rival teams are likely annoyed that the delay in resolving cases may let clubs get away with the advantage they got from spending too much right away. In 2022–23, if any of the teams that were promoted last season—Leicester, Southampton, or Leeds—broke the rules, they could still get promoted before they were charged.

Everton and Nottingham Forest are also waiting to hear what will happen to them because they are accused of breaking the Premier League’s new rules on profit and sustainability. Ten points were taken away from the Toffees already, but this sentence was lowered to six after they filed an appeal.

They were hit with another charge of breaking PSR rules in February, so they might have to pay more money back. Forest, meanwhile, has been told to wait until at least April 15 to hear what will happen with their own charges.

It’s thought that Leicester would have been in the same spot if they had stayed in the Premier League. Since they were relegated, they didn’t have to share their numbers.

As long as they end in the top two of the Championship, they will be back in the top level before the Premier League or the EFL can look into any rule violations.
