No sanctions are due as Premier League clubs comply with PSR rules

The Premier League has said its members are currently complying with profit and sustainability rules.

There were fears that clubs would suffer points deductions like Everton and Nottingham Forest did last year, but the league is satisfied after analyzing the last accounting period (2023-24).

However, there is still an outstanding problem with Leicester City.

Over the three-year period under consideration, the Foxes suffered relegation to the Championship before returning to the top flight at their first attempt. Leicester made a pre-tax loss of £89.7m in the 2022-23 accounting period – a figure that could have attracted a sanction – but successfully argued they should not face a penalty as they are no longer a Premier League club.

The matter is still subject to arbitration.

A statement from the Premier League said this morning: “Issues relating to the Premier League’s jurisdiction over Leicester City Football Club in relation to compliance with the PSR are currently the subject of confidential arbitration.”

“Accordingly, neither the League nor the Club will be making any further comment at this time on any aspect of the Club’s compliance with the PSR or related rules, except that the League has not lodged a complaint against Leicester for any breach of the PSRs for the period through the 2023-24 season.”
