Everton and Nottingham Forest will not have any grounds for a comeback or be able to take action despite Leicester City avoiding a points deduction, according to Kieran Maguire.

The finance expert claims that this is because the two sides were shareholders of the Football Association Premier League Ltd on 30 June 2023.

Leicester managed to avoid it as they showed that they had breached rules in the season they were not a Premier League side.

The situation with Leicester City avoiding a points deduction for breaching financial rules, while the Toffees and Nottingham Forest were penalised, highlights a significant inconsistency in how financial regulations are applied within the Premier League.

Leicester managed to sidestep punishment by leveraging their status as a non-Premier League club at the time of the breach, which occurred after their relegation.
