    Bloody hell Fosse, did you manage to type that with a straight face. You’ve done nothing but cry about how unfair it is <laugh>

    The bit you always fail to mention is that Leicester had the same opportunity to sign those type of players, the rules at the time were the same for all. The simple fact is that at the time Leicester either couldn’t afford them or weren’t successful enough to attract them.

    Not sure I totally agree with that. I remember going to see a pre-season friendly against Utd who had another team out at another pre-season friendly and thinking, **** me either of these 2 Utd teams could win the PL

    "Please can somebody bring in some rules to stop other clubs spending as much as us? - especially clubs with managers who are better than ours - it's just not fair!!!"

    4 in a row

    1 with an asterisk

    It would be interesting to see but I bet those squad players weren't shipped out and replaced so often. You could hit gold, the stars align and you manage it for a short time and even that's rare.
    My point was that City have been able to have two first 11's for a sustained period by buying and selling in every transfer window in any position they need. It's unsustainable for any other club, certainly not to maintain the squad depth to the same or better standard for so long.

    True
    I remember Brian Clough back in the day saying more or less this .
    He said Liverpool have cornered the market and it's hard to compete but sometimes you unhearth a little gem .

    I was going to make a joke but I didn't want to tread on Fosse's toes.

    The only thing I agree with Fosse on regarding FFP is how the **** City are flouting it in full view.

    ... ask yourself this - before 2025/16 did you ever imagine, in your widest dreams (or nightmares) that a Leicester fan would ever be on here milking that particular cow?
