Leicester City Files Appeal After 6-Point Deduction Drops Them to Bottom of Championship League

BBC reports that Leicester City has filed an appeal against the English Football League (EFL) decision to deduct 6 points for financial rule violations. The 'Foxes' are now facing greater challenges in the current Championship season after the immediate point deduction. The penalty stems from Leicester being charged with violating profit and sustainability rules (PSR) from the 2021-22 to 2023-24 seasons. Additionally, the club was accused of failing to cooperate with the investigation and not submitting financial details on time. The BBC has now revealed that they have appealed the point deduction, which has dropped them to 20th place in the Championship and put them at risk of relegation. The report indicates that Leicester is urgently seeking to resolve the appeal before the end of the current season.
