According to reports and quotes over previous years, Leicester City Football Club are embroiled in a legal spat with two organisations. And the pair of disgruntled corporations just happen to be the leagues the Foxes currently, and most regularly, compete in: the Premier League as well as the Championship. Even though I am a loyal Leicester supporter, the phrase 'don't bite the hand that feeds you' comes to mind rapidly in this instance.
LCFC have gone from a something other teams looked up to as a trend setter and what can be achieved by 'lesser' clubs, to a shell of themselves financially and reputably. It pains me to admit it, believe you, me! Now that we are resigned to being a tier two side without much pull nor clout, prudence on and off the pitch becomes compulsory. Though stability shall evade the East Midlands outfit for a few more months at least.
This is because Leicester's confidential and controversial Profit & Sustainability hearing is set to begin soon. Let's learn what reputable The Telegraph journalist John Percy has declared on the matter at hand. Are the King Power club still in peril with monetary or points deduction punishments looming?
When Leicester City's supposedly confidential Profit & Sustainability hearing is set to begin and ultimately end
OK, we can trust Percy to deliver the goods when it comes to insider LCFC information. So there are absolutely zero worries concerning the source. That said, what's he been saying?
Percy began his bombshell of an article on Thursday by stating that the City have been 'hit with three charges'. The legal battle versus the EPL will commence before the end of 2025.
"Leicester City’s latest legal battle with the Premier League is on course to start before the end of the year but the outcome is unlikely to be revealed until deep into the season...Though the date of the hearing is confidential, it is understood that the intention was always for a time before Christmas. "John Percy, The Telegraph
A specific date wasn't mentioned; the hearing is scheduled for 'the next few weeks'. However, a conclusion may not arise until 'deep into the season' next year.
