Leicester charged with alleged breach of PSR and set for legal battle with Premier League
LEICESTER CITY are facing a POINTS deduction after being charged with yet another alleged breach of PSR rules.
The Foxes escaped a Premier League points deduction earlier this season after they were charged with a £24.4million breach for the 2022/23 campaign.

The Premier League challenged the initial ruling, but their appeal was dismissed.
But the Foxes face the prospect of being deducted points next season for an alleged breach of Profit and Sustainability Rules for the 2023/24 season.
An excerpt of a club statement read: "Leicester City FC notes the Tribunal decision which has been published today.
"The Club is pleased that it successfully defended the Premier League's challenge to the Appeal Board decision in relation to the PSR assessment period ending FY23, which was the main focus of these proceedings.
"The Premier League's own rules provide a deliberately high threshold for any challenge to the decision of an Appeal Board.
"In this case, the Appeal Board's decision was only capable of being overturned if it could be shown to have resulted from a 'perverse interpretation of the law' or was a decision 'which could not reasonably have been reached'.
"The Appeal Board decision was reached by a highly experienced panel (including two former Court of Appeal judges) and, although the tribunal may have disagreed with the decision, it dismissed the Premier League's challenge, finding (consistent with the arguments made by the Club all along) that the Appeal Board decision 'could not sensibly be seen as resulting from a perverse interpretation of the law'.
"The tribunal also concluded that the Premier League was successful in establishing jurisdiction on one of the two grounds argued by the Premier League with respect to the assessment period ending FY24, and the Premier League has now referred this to an independent Commission.
"Consistent with its previous commitments, the Club intends to engage cooperatively in this matter now that the Premier League's jurisdiction has been established for the period ending FY24.
"However, we will not be able to comment further on these proceedings until they are concluded, due to their confidential nature."
The margin of Leicester's alleged breach of PSR rules for the 2023/24 campaign is currently unknown.

Vinted pro reveals 'sneaky' trick to help flog clothes you're struggling to sell
A professional Vinted seller has revealed the one nifty trick she uses to help flog hard-to-shift items on the app. Caroline, who hails from the UK, boasts 213,000 followers on TikTok where she regularly shares her top tips for aspiring vendors. The 49-year-old, who has made thousands on the app, introduced the video by describing the 'genius hack' she uses to cash in on unsold items. She explained at the beginning of the clip - which now has 15,000 views - that she had already sold three pieces that day and was preparing to send them. But before making her way to the Post Office, she will periodically scan the app to see if any of her listings have been favourited. Then she will contact interested buyers to see if she can entice them into making a purchase, telling them she can post items imminently if they buy. 'I will write a message saying, "I will be doing a parcel run this afternoon. If you are still interested in this item, I can post this out to you today so you'll get it super quick",' she explained. 'Then, I'll copy and paste that same message to everyone else who has favourited items yet to be sold.' The nifty trick helps her nudge transactions which would have otherwise gone unsold, Caroline claimed, adding that it was 'highly likely' that at least one person would bite. In previous videos, the thrifty seller said she once made £400 on the app in just one day. Several commenters agreed with the advice. 'I've done exactly this for about a month now,' one said. A second chimed: 'Great idea! Sneaky, but great! Others remarked that they also used the trick, with one gushing that they had sold five items doing so. Meanwhile, not everyone agreed, with one saying that they developed the 'ick' after sellers contacted them about a favourited item. Another admitted that they couldn't 'think of anything worse'. Caroline isn't the only successful secondhand seller to have cashed in on the Vinted train. Maisie, from Yorkshire, has amassed thousands of pounds selling garments and trinkets she's discovered at cat boot sales, charity shops and online pre-loved websites. Although it started off as a side hustle, she has now made reselling her full time career last year after earning £18,000 from flogging clothes. Now, she has helped others by telling them how they too can make a wage from the app - and according to her, it's very simple. Maisie said: 'I absolutely love buying on Vinted to resell on Vinted. It's so easy and it just goes to show the difference that a good quality picture with good lighting and a good background can honestly make.' She says that you should always list similar clothes sizes at the same time on Vinted, as people may browse your page and find other items that they like, resulting in more sales. Several commenters agreed with the advice 'They're more likely to get their money's worth by buying a bundle from you so it will boost your sales and your profit at the same time,' Maisie added. 'You're only having to ship out one parcel and the buyer is only having to pay one lot of postage and fees.' The seller said wannabe sellers also have to be careful about how they draft listings on Vinted - as sometimes a post can appear as though it was shared earlier than it was. In another clip, the reselling expert explained: 'If you draft something and then a week later you decide to hit live and publish it, it won't show as a new listing. It will show when you drafted it, which was a week ago. 'It will come up older in the listings, it won't show up at the top, it will show up as being a week old which will affect how people are looking at your listings because a lot of people will search for newest first.' Recently, Maisie revealed how she sold a dress for more than four times what she paid for it. She purchased a WoolOvers boho linen dress for just £3.30 on Vinted as part of a bundle from a seller. Maisie then ended up reselling it on eBay for a whopping £20.46.

Sarina Wiegman hits back at England crisis claim amid Lauren James injury update
Sarina Wiegman says decision for Mary Earps, Fran Kirby and Millie Bright to step aside before next month's defence of their Euros title is already in the past Sarina Wiegman insists England have already "moved on" from the surprise withdrawals of three stars before next month's defence of their European title. And the Dutch coach is convinced that the 23-player group named on Thursday has the perfect balance of youth and experience despite goalkeeper Mary Earps, midfielder Fran Kirby and defender Mille Bright all pulling out of contention. Those high-profile absences have prompted talk of a camp in crisis ahead of the trip to Switzerland but upbeat Wiegman says she has quickly consigned the bombshell announcements to the past. 'My experience before [at major tournaments] is that there is always noise,' said Wiegman. 'We expect noise until we go into the tournament. 'The difference now is that the visibility of the women's game has increased so it seems like there is more noise but there's just more journalists here which is right. 'We're not in crisis. It's not an unhappy group. You see parts of it. You're not in our environment all the time. I'm really happy with where we are now.' Earps, who was set to be second-choice goalkeeper behind Chelsea 's Hannah Hampton, quit 10 days ago with Kirby and Bright both pulling out earlier this week. The latter said her decision was to focus on both her mental and physical wellbeing. And Wiegman, defending her straight-shooter style, said: 'It's sad they are not in the team but at the same time it gives the opportunity for other players to be in the team. 'I'll always cherish what we have had, it's been a long period of time. It's been an incredible journey, lots of highs, and a couple of lows, it's part of football and part of life. I'll never forget that. At this moment, this situation, we've moved on and this is the squad we have now. I'm very happy with the squad.' Lauren James, sidelined by a hamstring injury since early April, has been named in the squad along with midfielder Georgia Stanway, the Bayern Munich star who has just returned from knee surgery. Wiegman said it was 'not a risk' to select James, who has already returned to training at Chelsea and will link up with the squad on June 16. She could be fit enough to feature in the send-off friendly against Jamaica in Leicester on June 29. Teenage Arsenal forward Michelle Agyemang, who scored on debut against Belgium in April, is included too, with Wiegman adding: "She brings something different. We're really strong up front. What she's shown is so much physicality.' England begin their title defence against France on July 5, take on the Netherlands on July 9 and finish Group D against Wales on July 13. England squad Goalkeepers: Hannah Hampton, Khiara Keating, Anna Moorhouse

Brydon Carse: I wanted toe amputated, but doctors said I need it to balance
Brydon Carse, the England all-rounder, says he became so frustrated with a persistent toe injury that he contemplated having it amputated. One of England's success stories of the winter, the Durham fast bowler was ruled out after the first game of the Champions Trophy in February, having attempted to manage an injury to the second toe on his left foot for several months of a breakthrough period. He was back in action in a County Championship match for Durham last month, followed by a return to international cricket in the three-match one-day series against West Indies, but he spoke on Thursday of just how big an issue the injury to the toe on his landing foot had become. 'It ended up being quite a severe wound, which I was playing with for the majority of the winter,' Carse, 29, said. 'The wound became infected a couple of times and for a period of about six to eight weeks I was on three or four different courses of antibiotics. Eventually the wound was so deep that it ultimately needed a period of time just to heal and close up.'
