Leicester have won their appeal over an alleged breach of Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
Leicester have won their appeal over an alleged breach of Profitability and Sustainability Rules . The decision by the appeal board all but ends the prospect of Leicester being given a points deduction this season. The Premier League, which says it is 'surprised and disappointed', is unlikely to appeal this decision because there is a very high legal bar for them to do so, and this case is unlikely to reach that high bar.
The Premier League argued that 'common sense' made it obvious that Leicester were in breach of PSR, but the appeal board said they could make no reference to common sense, only what was stated explicitly in the rules. The appeal board criticised PSR, saying: 'The rules are, in relevant parts, far from well drafted.' In the written reasons given by the appeal board, they described parts of PSR as 'confusing'.
