Leicester described the punishment as "disproportionate" and added that they would consider their options with an appeals process open to them. Fryatt had "expected worse" for Leicester, saying he anticipated a double-figure points punishment for his former club. The maximum penalty that could have been imposed was 12 points, but it is understood that the Premier League had been pushing for 20 points to be docked because of aggravated breaches. The Foxes have been embroiled in legal battles with footballing authorities over PSR violations for a number of years. Fryatt says the lowly position that Leicester are now in should be "a wake-up call".
