You can massage the accounts to show the messages you want others to see. What you can’t do is to continue to do so year after year.

Some of the ways in which clubs have attempted to smokescreen their financial situation have been remarkably innovative but at the end of the accounting period the numbers don’t lie.

My guess is that Leicester have decided to open up their finances and lump all of their skeletons into one admission. This way they take a big points deduction once and can then start a new three year plan.

If the EFL swallow it good luck but times have changed since UEFA switched their tactics

An interesting proposition but not one that works as to "lump all of their skeletons into one admission" then impacts their FFP position for three years.
The whole point of the three year cycle is to prevent such a scenario and put the onus on clubs to adjust for overspending in the next reporting period such that they come quickly within the agreed limits.
