They did on 5 live at 7am.
Their view is that Leicester exploited a loophole.
The explanation was along the lines of 'that was how the rule was worded, but not how it was intended.
They then said that the Premier League were surprised and disappointed in the outcome

Neither the BBC or the Premier League are fit for purpose.
Cunts, so they write a rule down, Leicester abide by it but, then they say 'oh we didn’t mean it like that' not surprised it was kicked out. Can you imagine if everyone treated contracts like that.
 
Lots of boiled piss this morning! Talksport can’t make their minds up. One minute they’re fuming about Leicester then mcoist says it’s “brilliant” what Leicester have done! No mention of the rags 75 mil losses though! Funny that no outrage there. One things for sure they’ll be determined we get done now
 
If it is a loophole then the PL are grossly incompetent. There is no other logical conclusion to arrive at. Why is this not being raised by the BBC, given the existence of this ‘loophole’?

I still have a solicitor's practising certificate and continue to give professional legal advice sometimes, but it's some years since that was the main thrust of how I earn a living. Teaching and training is one of my principal activities now, and, as well as topics of substantive law, I teach legal writing.

One of the first things I tell students is to check what they've written and make sure that it can be read in only one possible way, no matter how easy they may think it should be to discern their actual intention. I explain to them that the last thing one wants as a practitioner is for one's output to be litigated before a court or tribunal because it's ambiguous, with the only argument being that it should be obvious what was really meant.

It's utterly pathetic that the PL should found itself doing that very thing in a case such as the one at hand. The principle is so basic that I try to instill it into not only legal professionals but even university students who have yet to start in legal practice. For the PL to fall foul of that principle is nothing short of humiliating.

The contra proferentem doctrine is kindergarten stuff, mate.

Self humiliation seems to be what the PL excel in, let's hope it continues for the next couple of months.
