Isn't it fun! Just give the club a 15 point deduction now for having the audacity to actually think that they could actually compete with the big boys. While they are at it they should strike off the league and cup win and award colleen rooney another £25million and make vardy pay, also they should definetly make sure Jeremy Monga fails all his GCSE's!! Tin Pot ****ery of the highest order.. **** the Premier League pack of ****s!
I always felt they would charge us one way or another. I think we p!ssed them off when we exposed the loophole regarding which league we were in, but eventually they seem to have got their way. When will they get round to charging Man City? Then again they don’t want to upset Pep now, do they!
Not overly fond of what the PL has become to be honest with you, the upside is you need to dip into it to give you the parachute money advantage. Do you think you’ll avoid a double drop?
We’ll comfortably avoid the double drop, not expecting us to push for promotion either though. I hope we nurture our young players for a couple of years and then hopefully we’ll be in a position to challenge.
Going back to Martins point, I have read they should immediately go cap in hand to the EPL or whoever the headmaster is and ask to take the penalty now. Loose 6 mill in position payments and finish bottom but start on 0 next season. Makes sense to me.
Likely more than you'll enjoy your relegation scrap ... and unless you strengthen markedly (which PSR will inhibit) you'll be coming back down ... good luck mind
Short answer yes ... if we can keep hold of the young lads currently coming through the future is bright, despite the PL / EFL witch hunt ... If they were really concerned about actual sustainability of all football clubs rather than just protecting the big boys place at the top of the structure they'd bring in rules to stop academy poaching ... We should be able to ship out a lot of overpaid deadwood now and build for a more sustainable and less turbulent future ...
Alves and especially Nelson did excellently on loan in the Championship this season... and will be back in the fold ... Provided Fatawu regains full fitness, him, Mavididi, Monga and Alves will make hay in the Championship ... and if Evans steps up to be the striker some are predicting, we'll be incredibly exciting to watch going forward
Is it a witch hunt NO, Leicester cheated, they did not cooperate, they used an unsporting loophole which has closed and it’s all going to bite them hard, your boards own self doing. It doesn’t mean I don’t feel sorry for the fans and supporters. Do the top teams get away with it, YES massively and it’s destroying the PL. We still all wait on what punishment Man City will receive. I think we’ll avoid relegation, still not much fun scrapping at the bottom, better than middle of the table in the Championship which is what happens to anyone not making parachute money pay within 3 years I think it’s a very rough time ahead for Leicester, luckily the Championship has become a very poor league outside the top 3-4
It's a witch-hunt now because we used their own poorly drawn up rules to thwart them ... and they are determined to make an example ... Cheated? ... have a word with yourself - you can't win football trophies by increasing accounting losses ... you can only win them on the pitch ... The richest clubs have the most success by spending the most money ... you would almost certainly have failed PSR if it had existed when you won the old First division under Howard Wilkinson - do you think you cheated? We certainly didn't cheat when we won the Premier League with a squad costing circa £27 million ... but we did shake the foundations of the established footballing elite ... and not just in this country - hence the ill conceived European Super League - the ultimate protection of the cash cow and against clubs like us upsetting the staus quo by having the audacity to win the PL and have further upwardly mobile ambition...
You changed your accounting period from 30th May to 30th June, it was calculated and planned, yes you won the court case but get relegated again (which you have) and that's the consequence, it really is not a witch hunt You cheated because if you had stuck to the rules you would have had to have sold players or reduce wages There was no PSR then, you can't compare football then to now, Sky have ruined it with their injection of cash. 91/92 was the season Arsenal signed Ian Wright for £4m Liverpool signed Dean Saunders £3.3m Mark Wright 2.85m and Mark Walters £1.5m you have to go down to the 12th largest signing before you see Leeds signing Rod Wallace for £1.9m Nobody as far as I am aware are arguing that, it was a great season for you guys
Ahhh so there was no PSR ... so full circle we go ... Our owners are Billonaires whilst Ridsdale was the equivalent of Delboy and Rodney ... but you didn't 'cheat' because there was no contrived set of rules in place to limit your spending at the time ... PSR / FFP doesn't need to be there for any Premier League or indeed Championship club as most have incredibly wealthy ownership and are never going broke - so what's is its real purpose then? ... take your time ... eventually you'll realise that it is a contrived set of unnecessary rules - who even came up with the loss percentages? - which first and foremost stifle the ambitions of progressive clubs that could readily challenge the elite if their owners were allowed to 'invest' their 'pocket money' ...
Stop making yourself look silly Leslie Silver was our chairman 91/92, Ridsdale arrived 5yrs later and we didn’t win anything whilst he was chairman. You’re getting our 91/92 title mixed up with Ridsdale arriving 5yrs later aren’t you
