Lesta pulled a blinder there

He walks on a free this summer

<ok>

Therefore out of their hands

They can’t force a contract down his throat and they can’t lock him up

but when they did have the power to keep him, they did

He didn’t help much in their fight for survival because he tooled down like a loser…that is also not their fault

but for the good of Lesta FC…they kept their ‘best players’ for as long as they could.

Hope we don’t get near signing him…got plenty softies with no minerals as it is stands…don’t need anymore.

They should have sold him when they could have got £40m for him

Tbf there's a long list of clubs that get relegated and then keep hold of their best players.

Lesta are in the **** financially though and have a raft of players running down their contracts.

Their first priority is to balance the books and that will mean shifting their highest paid players that will fetch the most money.
 
All seems a bit up in the air, like us you need to sort the managers job ASAP.

On the surface, Leicester may appear to be in a decent position to make an immediate return to the Premier League.

Playmaker Maddison - the club's crown jewel - and £60m-rated winger Harvey Barnes are expected to leave, but should fetch a fair price.

The 'parachute payments' that follow relegation will boost the coffers too, so they are set to bounce straight back up, right? Wrong.

If Leicester's search for Rodgers' replacement was farcical, the lack of a plan for their players makes for even worse reading.

Seven are out of contract in June, including internationals Youri Tielemans and Caglar Soyuncu, who would have commanded significant transfer fees if sold last summer.

Deals for a further eight players expire next year and, with cuts of up to 50% written into contracts should the club be relegated, there is likely be a huge overhaul of the staff.

Leicester's wage bill stands at £180m - the highest outside the top six - with Maddison, Jamie Vardy and Ricardo Pereira among a number of players to earn in excess of £100,000 a week.

Leicester will probably sell more debt shares to help with the wage bill. :bandit:
