I'm not talking about when you won a trophy, I'm chatting about the decline of Leicester since your owner died. It's clear they are no longer interested in what was no more than a childs toy. Your past owner will be spinning in his grave at what has happened, and watching you against the Toon, highlighted how low the mighty have fallen. Relying on parachute payments to keep you a float. A manager that don't care, players that don't care and owners who are probably ready to get rid, but will continue to mug off the Prem and EFL for whatever finances are left to suck out of them. You should have gone bankrupt instead of selling shares, it would have been less painful to watch.

... we won't be relying on the parachute payment to keep us afloat ... the owners have recently affirmed their long term commitment to the club and their actions speak much louder than the angst of those that resent the unparalleled success we've had for a club of our size ... and thanks to them we currently have less debt than most, if not all, Premier League clubs ... I'm more than optimistic about our longer term prospects ...
 
A lot of reasoning there, the reason it all went to **** after you won the league was cos Chelsea triggered Kante's clause and took your best player and your whole team was built around him.

He was phenomenal ... but it was the Holy Trinity of Vardy, Mahrez and Kante, together with the uncompromising warriors Wes Morgan and Robert Huth ... and Kante wasn't playing for us when we won the FA Cup...
 
Gabriel is a big miss for us tonight against Read Madrid.

Gonna need Partey to screen that back four.

It's going to be a tough night, but I feel we have to take the game to Real and try to win tonight to have something to fight for at the Bernabeu
 
Tonight...

I'm hoping Arsenal do well to be honest. I'll be supporting Villa next week too. Generally want to see the English teams do well in Europe. Would be nice to see Arsenal knocked out by Kane or Villa if I could write the scripts.

Well of course not, the FA Cup team was the next phase of the team. The title winning team went to **** when Kante left.

I don't think we have any debt now. Though will add I mostly steer clear of many financial conversations as I prefer to talk about football.

Was hovering over the like button until that last sentence.

Well if you class winning the top two trophies in English football in the last decade as failure, I guess so ... <laugh> but only Citeh, Chelsea and Liverpool* can match it ...<whistle>

We are to blame in many ways ... winning the league in 2015/16 and thereby Champions League pushed a few noses out and actually caused panic - hence the I'll judged "let's join a European Super League where upstarts can't gatecrash the money spinning party" ... that fell through... so guess what ... we need something financial to constrain the upstarts... certainly worked on us - instead of pushing on after two top 5 finishes our billionaire owners found themselves hamstrung by limits that are way below their annual spend on thoroughbred race horses...
since PL ffp rules were introduced in 2013 so prior to your title and 8 years before the ESL which was pushed by Real Madrid , Barca and Juve i have come to the conclusion you are chatting absolute bullshit
