Not finishing top 4 for those 2 seasons has caused the mess you are currently in.
Your club have 7 players on over £100,000 per week and a further 9 earning over £70,000 per week with no relegation clauses in their contracts.
They spent 85% of their total income on player wages alone.
To put it in perspective spurs is 57%, united is 65%, Liverpool is 64% and arsenal 75%.
Your income goes through the floor next season if you go down and you could be in deep ****.
Everton are in a worse position with them spending 95%.

Thems the breaks ... injuries cost us a Top 4 position two seasons running ... but we dud win the FA Cup at the same time ... to be pushing to that level with the spending power at our disposal, compared to the 'Big 6' was nothing short of remarkable...
 
I already know the conversation, she's pointing at the screen and explaining "that one there in the red top, we just give them the decisions. It's quite a simple job really".
You Could at least leave the crying til after the fact bro

Honestly this top4 things turned you into a right mess of late, not just you tho tbh your whole clan <laugh>

Wage bill wise, you are only just behind Arsenal, and well ahead of Newcastle.
Bit of a stretch to call it remarkable that you won a cup to be fair.

Wigan, Portsmouth and Birmingham all won cups, all spent way beyond their means and all have remained out of the Premier league for over 10 years.

I ain't got beef with Leicester tbf, my 80 Yr old FIL is a fan so would prefer you to stay up for him but if you do go down you'll have to ship out all your best players cos of their wages

Was remarkable for us - we'd never won it before having lost 4 post war finals ... plus we did beat Manchester United in the Q/F and Chelsea in the final ... suspect both squad costs and wage bills dwarfed ours ... <cheers>

<laugh> Birmingham won the Caribou ... we won that twice and got to 3 finals with Martin O'Neil in the 90s ... we subsequently went down to League One ... but came back to the Prem ...

Tielemans and Maddison will be leaving whether we go down or not, Souuncu too ... Barnes isn't earning anything like the first two ... :emoticon-0105-wink:

I wouldn’t call beating two bigger teams in knock out cup games remarkable mate, you aren’t Accrington Stanley ffs <laugh>
The title you won seven years ago was absolutely incredible. Unlikely to be repeated for a long time.
The seven years after that have been a bit of a **** show really.
 
Coming on now mate, showing how it grafts.
Cant wait to hear the dialogue going on when mo salah inevitably gets wrestled to the ground 6/7 times tonight.

Ref "whats for tea lads"
Linesman "kebabs for me"
Var "beans"

Getting promoted from the Championship in 3 years time will be a 'remarkable achievement' for Fosse soon.

<doh> 2 top 6 finishes and winning the FA Cup?? ...

Only Citeh, Chelsea and Liverpool have been more successful in those 7 years ..
If we've had a ****show in that time, everyone else in the Prem bar those 3 have had constant colonic irrigation on an industrial scale <laugh>
