bbc_matt Matt Slater Leicester City to play Real Madrid, no really, in "npower Challenge Cup" - a friendly, then - at home, 30/7. Now that's King Power
Jealous of their ambition, certainly. No more pissed of than with any other club that has the guts to invest.
As above, jealous, their fans are very lucky to have ambitious owners and they've made some great signings.
And unlike us, they have a board that's willing to invest, and get the club to where they want 2 be. Our ambition was tested, when the club had the oppotunity to invest in Kyle Walker or Kyle Naughton. We got neither!
No you have to admire there ambition,they realise you have to spend for success and they have made some good signings if you stand still your left behind as we have found out to our cost
I'm not jealous of them - they're in the championship. They're trying to get to where we are; we're already there. I'm looking forward to the new season,so there......
Who's money is it, the owners or are they loading the club with debt, and who are they? Defo pissing me off
Also if they do get promotion they will be ready for it and maybe will only need to buy 2/3 players to make them feel more comfortable.
No. Why get pissed off with a team a league below us? Unless you just don't like the team or supporters. I'm not jealous of them either. Even though things are not going well for us we're still in a better position than they are. Maybe in a years time I'll have to review that statement but until then I'm ever hopeful that we can turn the corner regarding transfers/ownership and be competitive in the coming year.
Don't know why Gloucester, think seeing that Madrid friendly was the last straw. And I now officially want them to fail, sorry any Fox fans reading this!
bbcsport_simon Simon Austin by bbc_matt Spoke to Sven-Goran Eriksson- he's keen to talk to Owen Hargreaves about possible move to Leicester but hasn't been able to get hold of him
Why be jealous of a club that spends £5 million on Matt bloody Mills? They've obviously got too much money...
Remember what happened to Sven at Notts County. Loadsamoney and in the Premiership within 5 years and then it all fell apart. There is spending, then there is stupid spending, paying A grade money for B and C grade players. It is the Leicesters of this world that keep player prices high.
Come on Northolt - we are just enjoying the moment - We all know fortunes change and change back again many times for every club so we have to make the most of this. Our Thai owners have a business model for Leicester that depends on raising the profile of the club - Hence the Real Madrid friendly (that cost a bloody million to set up) And the investment in Championship experienced players to get us promoted The quote re Hargreaves is just lazy journalism - They asked Sven if he would like Hargreaves and he said yes, who wouldn't So and enjoy next season with the big boys
