Keith Wyness: Leicester City’s points deduction update is just days away

Keith Wyness, Everton’s former manager, has suggested that Leicester City will receive an update on their potential point punishment within days.

Speaking on the latest episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the 66-year-old, who was CEO at Goodison Park from 2004 to 2009 and now runs a football consultancy that advises elite clubs, insisted the Foxes will face a points penalty “without a doubt” despite the delay in scheduling a hearing.

Leicester were penalized by the Premier League in March for violating Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) for the 2022-23 seasonThe Foxes have lost a total of £215 million over the last three top-flight seasons, but clubs are only allowed to lose £105 million over three years under PSR.

Leicester took legal action in response to the charge, delaying the announcement of an independent panel that might impose a punishment.

Leicester face points deduction ‘without a doubt’, says Wyness

Wyness expects to hear about a potential deduction next week, and he believes the promoted club will not avoid a penalty unless the regulations are changed significantly.

He told Football Insider’s Insider Track podcast: “It’s all happening behind closed doors right now with the lawyers.”

“I’ve been watching this situation closely, and I hope to hear something next week.

“We’ll see how it goes, but it’ll be challenging. Without a doubt, some points will be deducted, and Leicester will have to fight with one hand tied behind their back next season.

“The timing of the hearings will be critical. They’ve delayed it by launching their own action against the Premier League, but collaborating with the probe eliminates a ground of appeal.”Overall, it will be a battle for Leicester, but they will be prepared.

“Without a big change in the rules, it’s hard to see how they escape punishment – but they’ll give it a go, I’m sure of that.In other news, Everton make a move for Leicester City’s star.
