Leicester City’s Patson Daka runs back with the ball after Chelsea’s Axel Disai scored an own goal during the FA Cup quarterfinal soccer match between Chelsea and Leicester City at Stamford Bridge in London, Sunday, March 17, 2024. The league said Leicester has been referred to an independent commission for an alleged breach of the competition’s profitability and sustainability rules during their previous seasons in the top flight.
The Foxes are currently second in the Championship on goal difference, but with a match in hand on first-place Leeds.“The club is extremely disappointed that the Premier League has chosen to charge LCFC now, despite the club’s efforts to engage constructively with the Premier League in relation to the matters that are the subject of this charge, even though LCFC is not currently a Premier League club,” it said.
“LCFC remains willing and eager to engage constructively with the Premier League and the EFL to seek the proper resolution of any potential charges, by the right bodies, and at the right time.” Leicester said the club has “repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the rules through its operating model over a considerable period, achieving compliance while pursuing sporting ambitions.”
“As we continue to represent the club’s position, we will continue to fight for the right of all clubs to pursue their ambitions,” the statement continued, “particularly where these have been reasonably and fairly established through sustained sporting achievement.”
