Why do people seem as though they demand to know as "its their club" I just dont get it.
What will be will be. The Allams are never going to open up, so you have to accept that.
If we get new owners they might be different. They might not.
But i couldnt care less.
I'll just jog along to City whatever.

I'm not demanding anything, I just said it would be nice if the owners told us what was going on.

Fans are obviously going to be concerned about the owners mortgaging our income for the next eighteen months. I realise they're not going to tell us why, but that's going to lead to a lot of speculation and conspiracy theories that might well be nonsense.

They don't help themselves.

Leicester City transfer news: Ulloa will stay, says Ranieri
By RobTanner | Posted: January 20, 2017

Claudio Ranieri believes Leonardo Ulloa will stay at Leicester City.
The Argentinian striker handed in a transfer request earlier this week after becoming disillusioned at City.
The 30-year-old is frustrated at his lack of opportunities in a side that is struggling in the Premier League, and also because many of his team-mates have been handed new contracts after last season's title success.
Ranieri said he didn't know if City would try to appease the targetman striker with a new contract offer, although sources close to the player state that a contract offer at this stage would be too late to convince Ulloa to withdraw his request.

Alaves have submitted a transfer offer believed to be around £5million but that is below City's valuation of a player that has ultimately cost them double that figure. He was signed from Brighton two-and-a-half years ago.

City also rejected a much bigger offer in the summer for Ulloa.
Ranieri said if it was down to him Ulloa would stay but he admitted the club had to be happy with the final decision.
"I always said I don't want to keep players that are unhappy, but at the top there is the club," he said.
"Three must be happy; the club, me and the player. I like Leonardo, he is a good professional player. I have told them (the club) my thinking. Now I think he will stay. I want him.
"The contract is not my matter. I am a coach not the manager."

Christ there'll be a meltdown on here, Ranieri says hes a coach not a manager!!!
Samaritans were on standby when it was said Phelan was a head coach not manager.
Seems you can win the PL with a coach.

Hi stevie, simple, honest question . What do you regard as financial trouble?
From what I've read, as a club, we're anywhere between £80m to 100m in debt.
As I see it, if the Allams pull the plug we ain't got a paddle.:emoticon-0107-sweat

Fair question, for what it's worth I'm no financial expert and there are many on this forum who are much more qualified to answer that question but I just don't see the Allams pulling th plug, the clearly don't want to spend crazy amounts for us to be relagated but at the same time they are more then aware that for them to get there money back (and I genuinely believe they want it back by selling the club not asset stripping) then they have to support Marco to enable us to have a chance of remaining a premier league club. I hope I'm right but the way I see it is, if Marco pulls this off and we stay in the prem then I think the Allams are gone in the summer, if it does t work and we go down then we are stuck with them for quite a while.

Sorry if I haven't answered your question how you would have wanted.

I really like Silva, he's an exciting appointment and I trust him to do his own shopping, but it's fairly obvious that he'd have held on to Jake if he could,

Personally, I don't care if the Allams spend anything, but it would be nice if they told us what was actually going on.

But we're not prepared to listen, OLM. :/

Not sure he's quite right for Marco Silva but for a long time I'd thought he would be a great signing for us.

The most depressing part is that Steve Bruce slowly created a great team with some top quality players with good values. And if we kept improving that squad every year then who knows how we could have established ourselves in the Premier League. Now Ehab is single handily dismantling it in a way that it could take a decade to rebuild.

Leeds, Sheff Wed, Sheff Utd etc

Sorry I can't stop laughing at your insistence that Steve Bruce was creating a great team with good values!!! I think good values are what Chelsea look for in players! (Bless him he looks after his mum well, let's sign him) So great in fact it got us relagated from the premier league, wasted a European campaign, then won promotion from the championship by at times playing awful football to watch and no doubt this season would be exactly where we are now! In the bottom 3!

Let me spell it out for some of you,

This squad we have before Marco Silva arrived was largely built by Steve Bruce, this squad was not good enough and neither Steve Bruce or Mike Phelan could see that. The difference with Marco Silva is he can see it's not good enough and isn't afraid to say it!!!

Now the changes he's making come May might not have worked and we may see ourselves relegated but there is one thing that's certain! We have a chance which if you lot got your way and we made no changes and stuck with Bruce or Phelan, couldn't be said as we would be down in 20th place!

I see people on here posting saying things like, the Allams should be putting there hand in there pockets and splashing the cash to guarantee premier league survival! 1. That's never a guarantee and 2. Your the same bloody people who complain when they spend money by saying 'we gonna be doomed if we get relagated' and 'we will be the next Leeds!' Yet when they actually make careful decisions like signing players on loan who if we get relegated are then off our wage budget for next season, you all start screaming 'get the cheque book out!!'

Ehab Allam is a cancer that needs removing from this football club, but and here's the bit most dont get, if you take your tinted glasses off and stop been so bloody negative you will see that for once they appear to be giving us a bloody chance!

We were screaming for change in December yet come January we get
1. New manager who comes with a great reputation.
2. A manager who comes with some great contacts in the European market! Unlike Bruce who signed mostly dross.
3. A manager who is willing to stick his neck on the line and change the team how he sees fit.
4. A manager who is very good at working under tight restriction.

Yet now all those people who wanted change are now not happy with the above! It really does make me bang my head in confusion.

Lastly, buckle up people because unlike under Bruce and Phelan, this second half of the season may just be the most exciting half a season we have seen in a long time. Stop been so negative and let's see how it all plays out!
