That is the view of finance expert Stefan Borson, who exclusively told Football Insider Leicester must be classed as a Championship club on 30 June last year if they were not a Premier League side on that date.
Leicester were charged in March with a breach of the Premier League’s PSR rules for 2022-23, with a points deduction the likely punishment.
But they argued they were no longer a top-flight side when they submitted their accounts on 30 June last year following their relegation to the Championship.
Leicester have landed themselves in ‘tricky’ positionBorson suggested Leicester find themselves in a “tricky position” despite avoiding a points deduction this season.
After an independent commission dismissed those claims in July and ruled they could be charged by the Premier League, Leicester confirmed in a statement on 3 September their appeal against that ruling has been successful.
The Guardian reported on 18 September the EFL now wants to charge Steve Cooper’s side with a PSR breach if they are relegated to the Championship again.
