After a PSR complaint was made against them, Leicester City was spared from Premier League sanctions.
After some news broke on Tuesday night, the Foxes have one less thing to worry about in their battle for relegation.
The Premier League accused Leicester City earlier this year of breaking its spending regulations throughout the three years preceding the 2022–2023 season.
This Thursday, the Midlands group that had appealed the ruling was given its verdict.
An independent tribunal determined that the Premier League lacked the authority to penalize Leicester, a significant victory for Steve Cooper because the team was playing in the Championship at the time.
Since then, rumors have circulated that the Premier League may alter its PSR regulations in response to Leicester.
Nick De Marco sends message to Leicester City fans
The man who led the charge for Leicester in their appeal against the Premier League was Nick De Marco. De Marco is a renowned sports barrister and represented the Foxes as they attempted to avoid a points deduction. De Marco has previously helped the likes of Sheffield Wednesday and Newcastle United and, after winning his latest case, the lawyer has taken to X/Twitter to send a message to the Leicester fanbase following the support he has received. He wrote: “Thank you for all the kind messages I have seen about this interesting case.
“But I must emphasise that, first, cases are generally won or lost based on the quality of argument & evidence, not the identity of the advocate. None of us are miracle workers. “Second, LCFC had a great team that I was just one part of: my juniors David Lowe & Marlena Valles, the great team at Centrefield (especially Stuart, Philip & Alice) and the brilliant & lovely in house team at LCFC itself.”
Leicester City may still struggle to avoid relegation
The club is not in danger of losing points, but relegation is still a possibility at King Power Stadium.
After drawing with Tottenham Hotspur in the first weekend of the season, Leicester has not been able to get anything going.
Cooper saw his team lose to Fulham in the second game of the season before Aston Villa defeated them this past weekend.
Any points gained against Villa and Spurs, two of the best clubs in the league, were a plus.
But what will worry many is how Fulham fell to Unai Emery’s team and how they did it.
Cooper’s selection for the team’s most recent match, which Leicester may have won or at least drew if better choices had been made, infuriated the supporters of the club.
However, following a defeat over the weekend, the recently promoted team now sits 15th in the Premier League standings and will next travel to face Crystal Palace.
