I think the latter is a stretch by Dorsett as the rules don’t have anything in it about that circumstance. Either way, enter the SPL for your good self Vac and challenge those uglies

Well you should remember it because that’s the sort of trophies we will be playing for in two years time

Think that’s a loose excuse. Chilwell went for £50m in the summer between the covid seasons. Alongside a whole multitude of players for £50m plus. Summer after Ben White went to Arsenal for £40m plus.

Yeah - good chance to do some cracking pubs and catch a Non-Leaguer on the Saturday

Explained to me that they are being sent out separately - why not just edit the letter not to cause confusion?

Fair point - and I'll concede on that with amortisation.

And I didn't say otherwise

The hierarchy which entrusted Whelan is gone.

Which is very representative of the lack of defined roles at the top echelon of the business.

Tommy G's exact words were 'She is the CEO an in charge of every single aspect of the club' Either way, it's an assumption that the club takes a traditional business approach - no traditional business has a role such as 'Director of Football'. I haven't argued that she isn't involved with footballing matters either. I just questioned the assertion she is in charge of every single aspect

It's astute - if the players are of the relevant quality. I'd say Akgun isn't good enough and Fatawu isn't worth his agreed price. That PS&R is still falling into a three year window at some point - and if promoted, we are affectively starting with a permitted £20m loss allowance on Day 1 of 24/25 account.

There's lots of problems with FFP. But honestly I don't get the whole finance over football groan when I'd say 80% of LCFC fans take no issue to us going on respective spending sprees and widening the gap between us and other parts of the second tier. We have been part of the issue.

You are assuming on your expectation of how a business operates. No traditional business has a Director of Football who sits next to the defacto owner and gets an invite to his wedding whilst his CEO doesn't.

Exactly Forest's problem.

If you want an example of how dim they are at the top..... it's going to be a tight fit financially on the 23/24 accounts - why have we committed ourselves upon promotion to spending £16-18 million on two players with obligation clauses? One of which isn't very good. That's absolute madness by whoever executed that deal considering players will need to be sold.

Apparently so because Rudkin couldn't do she had to step in as clubs found easier to deal with and she worked better at PL meetings too. I am playing devil advocate's here on two points because if we adopt the strict 'we don't know that' - well how does Tommy know that Whelan is involved in everything and second point, it's worrying if Whelan has any say into footballing matters given her zero experience of the game (At the time of taking the role).

So you are suggesting then she has a say in the footballing matters?

We are putting your head in the ground if we take this view though. You only need to look at the building evidence - Saints and Villa's accounts, EFL's early warning, Percy will to commit it to print. It's churlish to ignore the signs and sit there like the dog in the meme whilst it burns. At the very least, it's' going to be tight and places further onus on this seasons accounts in a season with significantly reduced income. Which further highlights the need to sell.

Yes if you use the Middlesborough&Wycombe v Derby case as an example.

That’s a turnover or revenue of our own boosted by European football

Maddening. Thing is you see the Women’s team out and about in Leicester and the surrounding areas as well. Not beneath them

Top is the CEO of King Power International. Four of his family are on the board. Those elected onto the board have been installed by Top, his Dad or his Mum. They are all making enough money to wash their face and be happy with it. Why the rock the boat from their very protection position of millionaires in a twisted democracy of Thailand?

Has helped someone like Dan Ashworth become incredibly popular - to the point his reputation is known in the wider football world and then gets the biggest job of all at Man U. Alas Rudkin has his empire at City. Never headhunted, never considered leaving.

I don’t think you realise how protected those people are. And also how much of a basket case the whole organisation is.

That’s for sure - because you can see Villa and Newcastle in particular failing with the £105m limit. Be aligned to the UEFA FFP rule
