It is within that uncertain framework that Leicester City now find themselves, locked in a race against time as they attempt to challenge a situation many believe has already been judged too harshly.

There is a growing sense the Foxes have faced a particularly severe interpretation of the regulations. Yet critics, many from rival fanbases, continue to demand further punishment. Whether that same appetite would exist if their own clubs were under scrutiny remains open to question.

As the season edges towards its conclusion, concern is mounting at the King Power Stadium. Leicester are awaiting the outcome of their appeal against a points deduction, while the Premier League has also challenged the initial ruling, seeking additional sanctions for late financial submissions.

Maguire believes a swift resolution is essential to preserve fairness.

“…a decision has to be made very, very quickly because it’s not fair on all of the teams towards the bottom of the division,” he told BBC Radio Oxford.
