Leicester FFP Challenge

superHusky1 · Feb 27, 2014

A couple of wins might change my view, but at the moment I can't see us returning to the PL. To be honest, in certain respects I'm not that bothered. If I demanded/expected top-flight football from the Rangers than I would have stopped watching them years ago!

Next season will be very interesting and important (as Flyer has said).

QPR and Leicester head list of clubs ready for legal action against FFP rules

The Football League are facing a revolt over financial fair play, with clubs threatening legal action unless the rules are substantially reformed.

It is believed 10 clubs from the Championship and one from League One â a group including Leicester, Wolves, Bolton, Blackburn and QPR â are behind a strongly-worded letter written to Football League chief executive Shaun Harvey from Manchester law firm Brabners.

It says: âThe clubs seek clarification, amendment or substantial modification to the rules, all of whom consider there are serious problems in continuing with the rules as they are drafted.

âIt is no exaggeration that the very existence or solvency of some is at risk, and therefore, unless there is action or movement, there will undoubtedly be a legal challenge, as a collective and individually, from those impacted.â

The aggrieved clubs believe the restrictions on spending and losses make it impossible to adjust to promotion or relegation, especially with the FFP rules for the Championship differing markedly from those for the PL and Leagues One and Two.

And there is upset over FFP fines now going to charity rather than being distributed among the law-abiding clubs, a change decided between the FL and PL without consultation.

Harvey has responded in a letter circulated to all 72 clubs defending the FFP rules, which Championship clubs voted to accept by a 21-3 margin in April 2012. Harvey wrote: âWe are comfortable the rules were incorporated properly and this is an attempt by a few clubs to impose their views on the majority, who approved their implementation â a position we will vigorously defend if required.â
