Leicester City is embroiled in a financial controversy involving the English Football League (EFL), accused of exploiting a major loophole, prompting the EFL to act. Concerns were raised after the EFL's unit acted outside its powers during a finances probe. This follows a settled Financial Fair Play (FFP) dispute with the EFL in 2018. Despite a ruling in Leicester's favor, the club remains at risk of breaching financial rules and faces potential legal action from promotion rivals for exploiting this loophole. Amidst these issues, Leicester will face a substantial points deduction upon their return to the Premier League for breaking spending rules, having escaped sanctions this season due to relegation.

Does the EFL “keep receipts”? Having settled a long FFP row with Leicester City in 2018, it was perhaps a little too eager for a new one this season. Its case was based on the spirit of the law, not the letter…& the letter won. But the EFL isn’t done yet. https://t.co/FsZFiqp5a8
