Sadly for those of us in Leicester City's Blue Army fan base, some bad news was announced on Tuesday evening. While the Foxes' support knew that these charges were pending, learning that the hearing is close will cause a palpable feeling of hopelessness at King Power Stadium. But all is not lost as the top source for Midlands football reporting makes a declaration about the East Midlands side.
That is because, back in September 2024, LCFC and its The King Power International Group backers and owners won a court case appeal against the Premier League. Yet, in addition to Leicester's potential points deduction case date being revealed, it is said that City also face a possible transfer ban or a fine too. Let's hear what John Percy stated about the Leicestershire team, and discuss his revelations.
Legitimacy in media
There is a saying amongst some of the more plugged-in members of the City faithful, which I am paraphrasing: 'I'll wait 'til Percy speaks'. What this phrase means, is that Leicester fans don't trust many outlets or lesser reporters. But when The Telegraph's man claims or confirms something - it is generally genuine. Trustworthiness, in other words.
Therefore, as the reporter reported on LCFC's looming court case - everyone listened and took the information as the gospel. Right, now that's Percy's credibility out of the way, we can focus on the important details.
When is Leicester City's Profit and Sustainability case to be held and when will an outcome be reached?
OK, I don't want to waste your time as nothing has begun yet. Though light is now shed. Essentially, proceeding should begin on Monday, November 24. lawyer Nick De Marco and his team at Blackstone Chambers should represent LCFC.
"Leicester City’s Premier League charges to be heard next weekJohn Percy, The Telegraph
Championship club face renewed prospect of points deduction, or may be fined or handed a transfer ban if they lose legal row."
A verdict is expected at the end of this year. However, the possibility of appeals will prolong events.
