After EWT was penalized by the Premier League for violating the financial regulations and deducted 10 points from the league, it was rumored that Bonny's, Leeds United and Leicester City were planning to sue "Mopping Up Sugar" in the court on the grounds that EWT had caused "unfair competition", which had led to the relegation of the three clubs. However, according to the latest news from the UK Daily Mail, the 3 major "victims" plan to give up the legal action and settle the compensation issue with AIC privately, so as to avoid the bankruptcy crisis of "Mopping Fat Candy".
EWT admitted that in 2021/22, they violated the Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSRs), and that season, "Drag Fat Sugar" finally ranked 16th in the Premier League to protect the relegation success, and Bonny ranked the last three in the Premier League to be relegated, and as for the last season, the last two, the last three in the Premier League relegation of Leicester United, and Leicester City, they pointed out that EWT should be deducted points and relegated in the previous season, and they are also prepared to propose to claim compensation of 100 million pounds, which means that the three clubs are recovering 300 million pounds (about HK$3 billion) in compensation. In other words, the three clubs are seeking a total of £300 million (about HK$3 billion) in compensation.
If the 3 major "victims" take legal action and win the case, EWT may be unable to pay compensation, resulting in bankruptcy, and deducted another 9 points. It is reported that Bonny, Leeds United and Leicester City do not want to do too much, so that the "Dragged Fat Sugar" can not be turned around, so they chose to settle the case out of court in the hope of reaching a "4-win" solution.
