Assume any punishment still won’t count until they’re back in the Prem?? |  |

....he spoke to a "director" at one of Leicester's promotion rivals a few weeks ago and that person said they would be pursuing legal action if Leicester were found guilty.

When you say TalkSport's Chief Football Reporter, do you mean Alan Brazil after a week at Cheltenham? |  |

Well he won't have spoken to anyone at Ipswich, not after the club tore down all the old memorabilia and burned it on a big fire. |  |

There are rules we abide by, they broke them. Would you rather we matched what they've done and massively overspend to get promotion? |
Of course not. Where on earth did I suggest that?
If they have done wrong, they deserve to be punished. But given the choice, I'd rather we went up on our own merits, not because a team was docked points. That's all I'm saying. |  |

I wouldn't want to go up because they are docked points, so hope so, still think it's not unreasonable that we finish above them without a points deduction. |
Whyever not? If they are docked points, its because they've cheated. We would be promoted legitimately. |  |

It's irrelevant anyway as any points deduction will not be applied to this season. |  |

Exactly. Would they rather cheats got promoted and got rich off the back of it? That is some deterrent. |  | | |

Going to be a farce isn't it. Start next season with -x pts, get relegated but rewarded with parachute payment.
Meanwhile the permitted 3 year loss for the current seasons accounts is £23m less than permitted in Premier League last season. Presumably that means that in the season after next they start in the Championship -x pts again.
There can't be anyone, outside Leicester, who doesn't want Southampton or Ipswich to achieve automatic promotion & anyone other than Leicester to win the play offs. I know I would be rooting for Norwich if they played Leicester in play offs. |
I think you might be in a minority of one there. |  |

Can't wait to see Kieran Maguire get his teeth in Leicester's accounts which are due to be lodged at Companies House by end of this month.
Quick check shows for season 21-22 they had an operating loss of £73.6m. In the previous season the figure was £33.1 although there are some areas of expenditure that are not taken into account.. The 3 year permitted loss was only £105m so they didn't have much headroom.
For current season they will probably need to be trading at a good profit to avoid falling foul of the rules again. |  |

100% that was Leeds. Relegated behind Forest, Everton and Leicester, all charged. They’ll be foomin. |  |

I thought that too, however it may be part of Forests defence, that all clubs need to be treated equally.
It does seem that this charge has been brought forward, shortly after Forests hearing. |  | | |

Yeah, I thought all charges and appeals had to be done and dusted by end of June. | | | |

Why if we lose to them would we be done when we’d still be above them? |
Should have put if they win the two in hand all be it Leicester and preston |  | | |

I don't care how we go up. |
Too right too! It's Leicester who are tainted by this, playing a squad which, for consecutive seasons, the laws didn't allow them to own. We all know the current squad is also above allowable limits. And they doped their way to the PL in 2013/14 as well, so history is at risk of repeating itself.
I'd much prefer clean competition from all parties but we can't control what others do. Normally public sympathy is reserved for the athlete or team who were denied their moment, rather than the party that was later disqualified or sanctioned for breaking the rules. |  | | |

Interesting footnote in the guardian article about this states they are potentially being charged by the EFL too and presumably, if that one sticks, that will be applied this season. EFL seem to be a lot quicker on deductions. |  |

It does sound like a points deduction this season isn't completely out of the question, so what happens if they're finish 2nd and a deduction puts them to 3rd? If they appeal, they'll miss the chance to play in the playoffs no? |  |

I wouldn't complain if it happened. I just think we'd then be remembered as the team who only went up because of another teams points deduction and not for the ridiculous amount of points accumulated and incredible football we've played to get us in that position. Even in this crazy season, teams are basically accused of 'bottling' 'folding' 'wheels falling off' etc when they're still averaging 2.2 ppg!
I'd love us more to go up without the help. Can't think of a season where this has potentially happened before. I remember the 1990 'non-promotion' of Swindon after they beat Sunderland in the play-off final and a week later, Sunderland were awarded promotion after Swindon got punished but that was pre- Premier League and we were all under the EFL or whatever it would have been called then so none of this punishment only applying to being in the Prem nonsense.
Would be funny though but as said, doubt punishment will happen before May. [Post edited 21 Mar 18:22]

In your first paragraph you’ve absolutely nailed the Sky / Hinchcliffe / Goodman / Sutton angle, conveniently ignoring an exceptional season and a play off winner that finished below us by potentially 15 points or more….
I want us going up to be the controversy, not Leicester’s points deduction. | | | |

That's easy. Finish more points above them than whatever they get deducted (if they do get any this season) anyway. Finish ahead of Leeds and Southampton too and even less to detract from our achievements. | |

The three relegated clubs all have a massive advantage over us, something that has regularly been moaned about on here. If one of those clubs has part of that advantage due to cheating then they should be punished and if we are the beneficiaries then so be it. After all, even if we don't overtake them we are going to be very close. |  | | |
