What is it with these Leciester fans...?
If a player is truely not happy and wants to go it doesn't matter what the owner wants, contract or not, they are usually shipped out because they disrupt the camp - Moderic is perhaps the exception that proves the rule.
What Leicester fans don't understand is that a lot of the City players all live close to each other in the community so they are not at all aloof and therefore do mix and talk to us mere mortals. One of them takes regular training for my mates U12's team so you can quite happily stand on the touchline and talk to them.
Nicky made a gentlemens agreement that he could go if a premier league club came in, otherwise he would stay with us and he honoured this deal. Nicky has shown us tremendous loyalty in this respect and contrary to what the leicester idiots think, I fully expect him to sign a new contract (with a suitable escape clause to the prem) or do you honestly think would have rejected £6-8.5m or whatever it was unless we were very confident of this
The answer, in a word is, NO...
As for "my clubs bigger than your club", I again point you in the direction of the facts
Our owner = Steve Lansdown =

Hmmm...., so our owner has nearly 6 times as much money as yours. Ok, so he's got a few mates on board but lets see how long they stick around when Sven does his usual thing of bottling it when it comes to the money shot...
Our owner is concentrating (too much so some would say) on getting our new stadium built, once the deal is done, it will be full steam ahead on the pitch. I don't expect Leicester to go up this year and I'll put money on it that we finish ahead of you next season...
