What if we’d had Puel from the start? Can’t really claim that about Everton when we had a **** start and have been fast improving under the new manager. Anyway this Mahrez stuff is **** timing, really fancied us for a win at Everton tonight before this and with Arsenal’s defeat would have closed the gap to 5 points but with all the drama I’d take a point gladly now
That’s exactly what our chairman is doing turning down bids
Kante had a release clause so couldn’t do anything (he managed to get a hell of a lot more money than the £20mill if it was a CL team) and Drinkwater we replaced him with 2 better players who cost less combined due to a lack of PL and English ‘tax’. This is the first real test to be able to make those kind of judgements. I thought Sunderland fans would relate to our size clubs more than to be crowing about us potentially losing a key player to a big money side. Like the closed shop of the ‘sky 6’ do you?
This is nonsense though as back when those clubs made their names it was more of a level playing field.
It'd be utterly impossible for a club the size of Leicester to establish themselves as a top team without City like investment.

They didn't make it at all, they had the perfect storm. I don't see what else the owners could have done, they bumped their big players on to 100k plus and spent a considerable amount of money in the transfer window.
What exactly are people suggesting they did? Start buying players for £50m and offering 200k a week?
Never doubted it would, just saying it’s a shame and one of the problems with football
The same season you won the league, Saints were challenging the top 6. But we kept selling our best players, and now look at us.
If you think City and Pep take the piss, have a look at how many ex Saints players are in that ****ing Liverpool squad.
It's all ****ed. The game's rotten.
Ahem. We actually finished in the top 6, just 3 points behind 4th.
And that's as high as we will ever go in this league.
Not really...like I told you yesterday...you're still a small club...I like the journey my club is on...you shove your league title up your arse and my balls have got a better use than to be sold off for a trophy.

Yup.....Fosse always going on about how the owners a billionaires. That's exactly what they should be doing. You expect Spurs to ****ing do it...even when it's common knowledge that we have to muster up just shy of a Billion quid for our brand spanker.
You might not enjoy the journey your club is on quite as much if your coach and your striker get lured away in the summer.
I actually hope they don't btw, but don't assume your position is any less precarious than the rest of us, when the really big cheque books start getting waved about.
Keep telling yourself football's not about winning trophies
it's about the 'Spurs journey' (although Kyle Walker obviously got travel sick) .. we're a small club that's won something very recently ... you are also a small cub in relative terms to the really big clubs .. that hasn't won anything recently ... and certainly won't be winning the 'big one' for some time 
I've never said I expect you to do it, just that if you don't you can expect to lose players that's all.
I'd never expect clubs to not live within their means, been there and done that. Not nice.
Our owners are doing fine ... we've quoted City £90 mill and they got a deal.... balls in their court ... as for the brand spanker ... plenty of clubs doing that ... doesn't guarantee success (and you're having difficulty filling Wembley) ... let's hope the stands at the new stadium don't stay as empty as the trophy cabinet eh?
I didn't assume that...but I'm actually enjoying my club and the way it is progressing and if we sell them...I'm sure we will spend big to replace, ultimately anyone we purchase will be a downgrade on arguably the best striker in the world plus Harry Kane is going no where this summer.

You need to make your mind up you're either a snotty ****er of a fan or a grounded one so I can abuse you accordingly
