It was 4M. Andrew Neville who does all the transfer dealing said not 1 of the rumoured prices was correct and had all been massively inflated by the media. Plus Sir John Madejski said they never recieved anything like what was rumoured for either Mills or Shane Long.
Rumours are always flying about regarding transfer fees! I mean there was a crazy rumour that we paid over a million for Aaron McLean!
http://www.thisisleicestershire.co....y-s-Akinbiyi/story-12908146-detail/story.html Sky actually said it was 'an undisclosed fee, thought to be around £5million'.
I am sure that the Mills fee is correct else the officials at Leicester would have released a statement discarding the rumours that the clubs record fee had been broken. It would be a mistake to mislead the fans like that, and also a new record fee shows ambition from the owners which is probably why they paid so much in the first place.
I know, but the clubs hierarchy are hardly going to let the fans go round thinking they have a new record fee and potentially disrupt the clubs history books. If they do, they're ****s! I know they wouldn't come out and give the correct figure, but they'd at least come and say 'we haven't broken the record'.
Why, if you was the owners of a football club the higher the figures come out the more money it looks like your pumping which will get the fans on side
Well that's just being an arsehole, and won't the fans find out anyway when the accounts are filed at the end of the financial year?
Ian Dowie seen at the crisp stadium.. Though chances are he turned the job down in the hope of a bigger club coming in for him such as Filey Town .
Im not sure about that but we are doing the same as Man City as regards to cheating the financial fair play system. Our owners own King Power and have sponsored the stadium and kit just like Man City. And on the accounts they can pick any random number and pay it into the club as income through sponsorship but the club havent gain anything because the owners are basically paying themselves. Man City's owners paid themselves 400M to sponsor their own stadium but on the clubs books it will go down as income allowing them to spend more money through the financial fair play rules
Uefa are investigating Man City for breach of the fair play rules, as they say that fiddling the sponsorship figures to get round the rules will not be accepted.
They will get away with it as what they are doing is just working around it. They arent breaking the law or anything, they arent any richer as a result We are just doing the same thing.
Leicester need to bag a manager that matches their owners ambitions and the fans expectations, maybe an ex-player like Roberto Mancini.
They aren't breaking the law currently by spending more than they make either. UEFA are investigating on the basis that such are deals are materially the same as gifting the club money and will be disregarded from the income to be considered as a result. There's a similar situation developing at QPR, off the top of my head it's one of their shirt sponsors is co-owned by the brother of one of the principal shareholders and that's been seen by a few people as a possible exclusion for when the rules kick in.
