Not trolling Don’t want a rise out of fosse He has his view you have yours The odds is just bullshit for me - just a number was it brilliant - yes Was it a massive achievement- yes but some on these boards cants separate obvious stuff some time - you for some reason have brought the great Liverpool into it No idea why But getting a serious chat about this on here is pretty much impossible In fact the odds are about 5000-1 if Liverpool win the league this season many will claim that it’s because teams are in transition (though I do not think we will - I actually have us third when I go through the points but that’s by the by) just like many claim the asterisk on the year they did win it What they did that season was amazing and had it not been for Covid they more than likely would have obliterated records How many come on here and give that side credit ? so I go back to Leicester was good - but because the usual teams were in transition Because Leicester had no real predators Because they cheated to be in the position (in my eyes) they were to do it (though I completely disagree with the whole ffp **** - teams should be able to spend whatever the **** they want imho) Then that win will never be as good as many others It’s good but not as impressive as what everyone makes out Certainly ain’t no fairytale to me just like you are entitled to your view - so am I
To your credit you're someone that at least acknowledges the link between spending the most money and winning the most trophies. What are your thoughts on the financial rules? Would you be open to a cap that's the same for all clubs? or even just back to the way things were in the first place?
The point about Liverpool is that you have perennial big clubs challenging who hadn't even won it yet when Leicester had. It's totally unprecedented in the new era especially as the big clubs have been established (post 2000s?) and with the CL money. Anyway, you obviously have your view and I have mine just as there are people who believe the earth is flat Have a good day (donga?).
They didn't cheat, they won the league fair and square. They had a chance because the weak was weaker than usual that year, and won with an extremely well organised side. You may not like the way they played, but to say they cheated is just insane.
I think if some mad tycoon wishes to pump money intravenously to a club then they can do so If the club goes bankrupt it’s tough No government help - no nothing personally I wish they just removed money from the game 100% but I know that it’s impossible so no point even harbouring those thoughts I think every team that has won the league has bought it Including Leicester Did the make good buys Hell yeah But they still bought the players I don’t think Klopp gets enough credit because of rivalries in this country Many thought we were screwed when we sold Ford to buy Ali and VvD Yes he spent a lot but he had to sell players to get that conversely Pep hasn’t HAD to do that buying one or two or even three big amount players is not the same as continually buy 40/50mil players till you get it right I think Pep is a superb manager but trying to compare some is impossible and whilst he may not have spent mega money on one player he can just buy whoever he wants (I also don’t believe the figures we are issued that they have paid though lol) I think Don Carlo is one of the best because he has done it both with and without money sorry I got off topic ranting - don’t think there should be a cap As I say if a person wants to spend spend spend they should be allowed to but if you are a fan enjoying the high you have to take the eventual low when it comes. if ffp had teeth it could work but someone somewhere will always find a way around it Which is where my dislike for Leicester sort of kicks in They knew there were rules and they circumnavigated them but they all do - to make them out as some fairytale is just bollocks to me Closest I have seen to a Roy of the Rovers type story would have probably been Wimbledon winning the cup (and that hurts lmao) But I don't really know enough about how they rose through the leagues if a team went from non league to win the league with the majority of the same players I would give them that kudos. no idea if I have explained myself because I always tread the line of contradicting myself but I know what I mean
They cheated to get into the prem imho Couldn’t have won it if that hadn’t Impossible Again I repeat What they did was good - brilliant Just not the big fairytale it was made out to be because people think that football only exists in the prem which incidentally you have just sort of contributed towards
Hang on, they cheated to win the Prem, and now you're saying they cheated to get into the Prem as well?! I don't think it's worth entering into a debate this bizarre, so I'll not bother.
Let’s be honest. We only wanted to see Lesta win the league to stop Spurs from winning it. And they ended up coming 3rd in a 2 horse race.
Not quite understood what I have said Not arsed about the semantics No they didn’t cheat the year they won it - they cheated to get there is the clearest I can say it if they hadn’t they couldn’t have won it I can only keep saying what they did was good Just not the fairytale that’s all
In terms of conspiracy theories, saying Leicester cheated to win the title isn't as out there as saying the Earth's flat....but it's not far off.
