A football finance expert has revealed how many points Leicester City would have been deducted had they not successfully appealed their PSR punishment.Premier League clubs can make a maximum loss of £105m over a three-year period, but Leicester allegedly exceeded that figure by £24.4m.
Football finance expert Kieran Maguire has now revealed how many points Leicester would likely have been deducted had their second appeal failed. Maguire used the figures provided by the Premier League and the punishments handed out to Everton and Nottingham Forest last season following PSR breaches to inform his estimation."On the basis of the Forest/Everton points deduction of 3 points for breaking the rules and 1 more point per £6.5m above the limit, IF the Premier League calculations were correct then with a £24.4m breach Leicester would have had a 7 point deduction .
Leicester stormed to the Championship title last season to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking, but Steve Cooper's side have taken just one point from their opening three games.
