'Foxes now in a true relegation scrap'

As Leicester City "consider their options" following their six-point deduction, many will be wondering what that means – and what comes next for their football club.

The deduction has now thrown the club into a true relegation scrap at the bottom of the second tier.

Leicester City, the EFL and the Premier League can all appeal the verdict from the independent comission should they wish to – with the Premier League initally wanting a 20-point deduction for the Foxes' breach of PSR/P&S Rules.

There are questions, once again, about the wording of the law in question of which the Foxes have been punished, which states it isn't intended for retrospective punishment.

So, is it better for Leicester City to accept the six-point deduction and accept their fate as a side battling for survival in the Championship, while knowing exactly where they stand? Or, do they appeal with the hope of having the deduction at least reduced, but potentially increased, while continuing to put uncertainty on their true position in the Championship?

It's a delicate situation, and one where they must proceed with caution.
