its the fact we have had a huge amount of the earlu KO's following the international breaks which is particularly bad for us as 3 of our first 11 get called up by their South American countries which means they sometimes don't get back till friday
Need to keep that in mind when buying players mate.

Respect your opinion buddy - but the reality is that we would probably have been promoted irrespective of the accounting shenanigans - Vardy cost £1m, Mahrez £450k, Drinkwater and Wes Morgan £500k each and Scmeichel £1m ... hardly budget busting ... and, as such, the EPL title would still have followed before Liverpool won it .... I realise that us winning it with a squad that cost half of what your goalie cost must sting ... but thems the breaks ...

'Cheating' doesn't always bring success - as Everton are finding out ...
Respect yours too
Totally understand and appreciate it
Impossible to know what could have would have happened
The fact is simple that Leicester were better equipped and unfairly so
That is the long and short of it

the amounts are actually immaterial
And has already been pointed out Leicester knew what they were doing by others (Everton may or may not have done)
So it was cheating

I don’t begrudge Leicester their win - I think these matters should not be involved in sport but they are every bit as much as VAR and corrupt refs in Spain are. However it isn’t the fairy story they paint imho as they cheated.

with regards to the sting - not a bit of it
I have answered this statement from yourself before but no problems with anyone winning a title before us

I have a problem or a sting it took us 27 years to win a top flight title but **** happens
But not arsed about any of the teams who have won it before or after us

just have a little b in my bonnet when a team/club who cheated get more acclaim than they deserve but that is just me and it really only effects me

I also felt a bit for Spurs a bit that season as the teams they faced wanted to beat Spurs (Chelsea spring to mind)

no one was actually arsed if Leicester won the title as they don’t really have any natural predators - in fact most teams were rooting for them

so good on them for the win
Shame it’s tainted as it forever will be imho
 
You are rather slow - so sit down and read carefully - we did plan - it was undermined by a third party event beyond our control and influence.

You also planned - exclusively internally - to circumvent the rules, dishonestly... and were caught and exposed doing it - so it's now time to put your clothes back on - and face the consequences of those dodgy internal dealings <laugh>

Same thing affected Watford, players all deferred a part of their salary, Lord Ashcroft deferred the payments on the £10m he invested in the club in the back of the ITV deal, Watford cancelled plans to build a new stand, still reached reached semi-finals in the FA and League Cups and all the players received the money they were owed when we got our second promotion to the Premier League

Lord Ashcroft further deferred his payments until the Pozzos bought the club and stabilised the finances, and he only took his £10m without any additional; interest, Those ****ing Tories are such greedy ****s

<laugh> ... ask any Leicester fan if it's tainted ... a squad assembled for less than the price of your goalie and a 10th of the cost of Citeh's squad in the same year, somehow had an unfair financial advantage? - typical scouser logic - and doesn't Liverpool's sole EPL title win still have a Covid-19 asterisk against it?

Daft argument as I am not arguing

Yes our last title win appears to have an asterisk against it, so what, you have a very strange way of attaching relevance to your arguments

you are bringing things into this that have no relevance

My club have an asterisk in many peoples eyes over our 19th title win (tried to google Liverpool winning just one but no joy lmao - I know you will btw)
your club cheated in many peoples eyes
So what
What does it actually matter- why you bothered so much

I have said I am just going to remind you your club cheated every time you boast in here about what most would call history now

that was certainly the case with Liverpool fans when we had gone 7/8 seasons without winning the English league title

your point against City squad laughable - you are bringing a club who are allegedly under investigation for 115 counts of cheating - though I can see why you would support them in this. To support your argument - ignoring LFC sold their biggest star at the time to balance the books

Actually that might be where LFC have lost you come to think of it

you have your opinion I have mine
The two won’t meet as there is no common ground

your Constant reference to EPL title is not so subtle but has been blown away by better men than me

you are just as belligerent as I on this point which is why whenever you bang on I will retort and meanwhile the world turns with way more important **** than our petty pedantry over semantics lol <laugh>
