September 4, 2024 12:04 pmare back in the business of fairy tales. What seemed an inevitable punishment is now an impossibility, a big win for the little billionaire against a corporation it represents 1/21st of, entirely to boost its chance of remaining part of that corporation. The beautiful game is only getting more beautiful.Unlike the aforementioned duo, Leicester were relegated at the end of that season, then promoted again the following year.
Why was Forest’s PSR limit only £61m, I hear you ask? Because they were only promoted from the Championship ahead of the 2022-23 season. Leicester’s instant promotion even meant they avoided being punished by the EFL too. But Leicester’s escape has as much to do with the lack of cross-league regulatory consistency as it does with PSR’s evident flaws. The Premier League, Championship and Leagues One and Two have three unique sets of financial rules between them and do not often collaborate to enforce them. This is a system broken at every level.and Two and their Salary Cost Management Protocol .
