I still can't belive teams like Forest got off so lightly for trashing PSR rules

It still irks me that Leicester put themselves into administration to not pay bills and then they got promoted. IIRC the points deduction for going into admin was brought in because of their behaviour

If they were in breach of PL PSR you’d think they must also be sailing very close to FL PSR rules even with parachute money….

I was talking about 2002. They had just come down from the PL with parachuted payments, moved into a new stadium, put themselves into administration to avoid paying debts and got promoted to the PL in the same season.

Clubs were outraged at their behaviour and the FL had to change the administration rules as a direct result of their shenanigans

There's a little bit more to it than that. IIRC, what pushed them over the edge was Eric Hall issuing a winding up petition for a small debt (but also allegedly in revenge for them sacking Dennis Wise)

Administration orders were made in respect of Leicester City Football Club plc, holding company Leicester City plc and the owner of the club's ground, Leicester City Developments Ltd.

Their counsel, Lloyd Tamlyn, said they had originally faced a winding-up petition presented by football agent Eric Hall, but he had agreed to administration after the companies acknowledged he was owed a debt.

[From Despair To Where?]

I think the issue is more that, regardless of how they went into administration, they kept hold of their squad on Premier League wages, defaulted on payments towards their ground and went up as a result.

Seems this club have a record of getting away with things. Their relegation can’t come quickly enough! Hope they stay down and that the FL find some way to throw another book or two at them.
