The below arguments from the article, certainly.
Leicester are expected to argue that the losses from the 2022-23 season were a result of mitigating circumstances, such as an unforeseen relegation, the “unplanned expenditure” of sacking £8 million-a-year manager Brendan Rodgers, plus an estimated £30 million deficit from finishing 18th in the table.

Didn’t Forest employ the same lawyer to defend them last year?

The extraordinary thing is that we always reported our accounts to the end of May instead of June. We changed this to June the day before our game at Leeds in April 23.

Millwall don't care; why should we?

CGAS. If they are going to make rules then they need to be applicable and be able to be implemented.
Not our fault they ****ed up.

Transferred our Premier League shares to Luton on 13th June, so not bound by their rules after that
Lovely stuff

But don’t you know that Cooper has only won 2 out of his last 569 away games, and that Ricardo isn’t playing?

We don't have to eat smart price reconstituted ham now though.
We can go and get some of that nice, fancy looking ham they leave hanging in the shops in one of those continental supermarchets.

“The Premier League, which says it is surprised and disappointed, is unlikely to appeal this decision because there is a very high legal bar for them to do so, and this case is unlikely to reach that high bar.”

Leicester City win their appeal against alleged breach of Premier League PSR rules
Premier League says it is surprised and disappointed, while Leicester have welcomed the decision; the independent panel found Leicesters accounting period ended on June 30 2023 after they were relegated - meaning the Premier League did not have jurisdiction to punish them

Why? It’s laughable really and we’d probably be saying it stunk if it was another club in the position.
For what it’s worth I think the rules are daft anyway and didn’t agree with the principle of Forest or Everton getting a points deduction last season, but that’s another matter.
Am I happy we’ve won the case? Yes absolutely, but we’ve won on a technicality, not because we managed our finances appropriately.

Spot on
There are plenty of ****wits who will think we are wholly in the right here, instead of exploiting a ridiculous technical loophole due to a poorly drafted regulation
You can’t teach stupid, sadly
