Leicester City plunges to 20th place in the Championship after the EFL docked the club six points for breaching financial rules. The 2016 Premier League champions now sit just above the relegation zone on goal difference following the immediate sanction for exceeding loss limits in the 2023/24 season. The club, currently managerless after sacking Marti Cifuentes, labeled the punishment disproportionate, citing a £19.4 million loss for the period ending June 2024.
