I think it may have slipped your mind. The initial issue the other clubs in the league had was that you sold your sponsorship to Trestellar (a company owned by your owner) and they sold it to King Power (a company owned by your owner) and it increased from £5.2m to £16m, a figure way higher than the market rate. Hence another chairman in the league saying, and I quote:

"What Leicester did looks like financial doping by the owners, while other clubs were complying with the rules we all agreed,"
I know it looks like I get onto fosse about this all the time
But you are spot on Haslam
Because it wasn’t premier league it went totally unnoticed
Apparently by some of their fan base too

I do not begrudge them their wins - it was good what they did however it was based upon foundations of cheating and as such does not deserve the rapture it always seems to get

to those clubs who didn’t have the same financial clout as Leicester it’s exactly the same as what City are doing and Chelsea.

if we ever get caught doing **** like that I will say the same.

that said I still don’t see what can/will happen
Feel bad for Everton that they are being picked on but also feel they should have stayed within the rules.

Derby finished 3rd that year. Imagine the financial issues they had would have been solved by a season in the PL and parachute payments.

Everton worked with the PL and like Leicester didn’t plan for Ukraine (Leicester planned for TV money)

10 points is what it is, club will stay up and use this to galvanise the squad and fans.

No certainty that you'll stay up though. Like most I think you will but it'll be close.

That’s why I have sympathy for them

I think there is a chasm between Everton and City in terms of what has been done

Pep coming out and claiming there has been no cheating and that he hasn’t been paid in two accounts and he will leave yada yada yada

if this does all come out (which I just can’t see happening) **** gonna hit the fan

the thing that’s wrong is it’s the fans who get hit

these muppets in charge will just move on

I haven’t a clue how it should be dealt with really :(

love the sentiment - but it isn’t the fans fault that cheats got in charge

look at our time under H&G (shudder)

its not right but neither are the accolades

perhaps force sale and strip honours ?

where as i'm more of the opinion that they were massaging the figures plus having inflated sums paid in by Big Al to get round ffp .

While I hear what you say, and agree to a certain extent, it was a case of at the time, if we fail, we may fold as a club anyway. You have to go back and remember where Man City as an example came from, they were in the third tier of English football, they didn't even make autos and were trailing 2-0 in the play-offs up until the 90th minute, reality was 5 mins extra time, saved the club.

You need to go look at the National League as well as South and North divisions, it's a graveyard of old football clubs, and unless you've got the money like Rangers in Scotland, you are going under. Rangers you may remember did get what you want now, relegated to the lowest division of Scottish football.

Let's say you strip City of all their titles and put them in L2, do you think their money men will walk away or will they just use their power to relaunch themselves again, whereas 24 years ago they didn't have the money to do that, so either way, whatever fate you bestow them, it's still going to be a win win, and their haters will still be bitter. Look no further than clubs like Juventus for examples of that.
