Leeds United HubLeeds United's potential legal action against Leicester City has sparked criticism from former Everton CEO Keith Wyness. The Whites are contemplating legal action against Leicester for a historical PSR breach, which could have stopped them from getting promoted from the Championship.
What happened?
Wyness believes that lawyers are dictating the policy of clubs, and owners need to 'get a grip' on the situation. He urged Leeds United to drop any plans for a legal push and called for a new mechanism to avoid such disputes.
Why it matters for Leeds United
The dispute could damage the 'spirit' of the Premier League, according to Wyness. Leeds United is currently 14th in the Premier League, with 47 points from 38 games, and a recent form of LWDWD.
What comes next?
Wyness suggested that Leeds and Leicester should settle their dispute behind the scenes and reach an agreement between the two clubs. He proposed a '£5m deal' as a possible solution, rather than a large-scale dispute involving lawyers.
