We haven't changed our targets yet our budget has changed massively. As you say, we are still buying players at the same level of Mendy, Benalouane, Inler etc but we've been offering them 80/90/100k a week.

No, what happened is we bought too much absolute shit and gave them monumental contracts they hadn't earned. PSR didn't make us buy Soumare, Daka, Vestergaard, Bertrand, Castagne, Silva, Perez, Praet, Faes, Souttar, Kristiansen etc. Nor did it force us to hand eye watering contracts to the likes of Choudhury or Justin. Absolutely nothing to do with PSR. Entirely to do with the incompetence of our board.

The cause of the issue is the incompetence of the board. Baffling that you could point the finger anywhere else. Years and years of failure off the pitch.

Yes, the Director of Football has a say on transfers.

We've gone from a position of real strength to floundering with a squad worth absolutely nothing in 3 years time because the board has completely failed. You can blame the rules they voted in favour of all you like. The club was relegated with the 7th highest wage bill and here we are now with nothing to show for it having sold all of our saleable assets to make sure we don't make further massive losses. If the rules did stifle competition as much as you claim then why are Aston Villa in the Champions League when we were each in the same boat in October 2022? They decided to act and sack their underperforming manager while we floundered and did nothing.

The Premier League does need an independent regulator but Leicester fans have much more important concerns to deal with closer to home.

Ifs, buts and maybes. Focus on what happened.

My sigh of relief will come when these jokers leave.

Step 1. Europa League level club interested. Step 2. Said club enquires into his wages. Step 3. Said club no longer interested. Rinse and repeat.

Pack this mentality in and put the magnifying glass directly on the people responsible. Namely the board room at LCFC. It's their incompetence that we're in a situation where we're employing extremely expensive lawyers to find loopholes in rules we know we broke. We are in this position because Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, Apichet Srivaddhanaprabha, Susan Whelan, Kevin Davies, Jon Rudkin et al have royally ****ed up. It has nothing to do with the Premier League or the EFL and we'll be doomed to make the same mistakes again if we don't point the blame and make changes with the people that caused them.

Remember thinking that was a piss take at the time as well. Football is wank now.

We as fans need to stop taking this viewpoint. The club failed massively and did breach spending rules. Gross incompetence from the club is why we're in this position and we can't simply brush it under the carpet. Only a completely ridiculous technicality is the reason why we're not going to be forcefully relegated when we absolutely should be. the club failed us and they need to be taken to account.

Bloody hell, is that per game?

I love this website.

Come on then lads. Lets see the sweet tears of opposition fans and journalists.

Why? The independent commission realises we broke PSR spending limitss because the club made monumental losses. That's on Rudkin. The independent regulation also realised that the Premier League's rules aren't worth the paper they're written on. Finding that loophole has absolutely nothing to do with Rudkin.

EFL watching us this year.

Worth pointing out that we're still probably going to be in the shit with PSR/FFP. we can't go and blow £50m on players in January.

No idea. I suppose we told everyone that we went after that we were going to avoid a points deduction but they probably hedged their bets.

Bit shit (and I suppose no coincidence) that we've found out about this as soon as the transfer window has shut.

Not yet.

As much as I thought the referee was shite, we should get told off for surrounding him.

I swear the referee did give it though. Proper weird one.
