There were people last summer that thought we'd get play-offs with a points deduction

They're massively reliant on Bruno Fernandes. Anyone would be given his quality but he's the only world class player they have and sticks out like a sore thumb there. If he goes they're a mid-table team.

He'd be the first i'd get rid of. Genuinely poisonous.

Right back, striker, midfield etc

I genuinely think he's the worst striker I have ever seen play in person.

They were never ahead of us apart from something like 13 minutes during a game they went on to draw against Arsenal. Never, ever let anyone suggest Spurs bottled the title against us. They matched our record in that same 15 games (from the 1-0 win away at Spurs on GW21 to the 2-2 Spurs/Chelsea game on GW36 but were always behind us. It only looks like they bottled it because AFTER we won the league they fell apart. We won the title because we were simply the best team in the land.

I could see Nelson being snatched up by a club like Brighton and loaned off into the Championship before being sold on for big profit in 2/3 years.

Wake me up when Oxford and Pompey get 10 point deductions each. The only way we'd stay up.

Whats going on with the badges on that kit?

I guessed £5m because of the Kone transfer but you're probably right, I forgot that he was in the last year of his deal.

That is ****ing miserable.

Yep. If Pompey win their game in hand and beat us while WBA beat PNE then we'll be 8 points behind on Saturday with 3 games to go so we'd still have a chance mathematically. Only when Hull beat us on the 21st are we officially relegated.

Dom Ballard would cost about £5m which is about £5m more than our budget allows. Plus he wouldn't leave Leyton Orient to play for Leicester City, such is life under Aiyawatt.

I regularly have to hear argument that KPFC fans make that suggest that the Premier League are doing all of this out of spite for us winning the league. Despite the fact it was arguably the best thing that ever happened to it in terms of attracting the eyes of the planet. PL commercial revenue in 2014 was £915.8m. In 2018 it was £1.326bn. PL broadcast revenue in 2014 was 1.749bn. In 2018 it was £2.823bn. PL total revenue in 2014 was £3.257bn. In 2018 it was 4.824bn.

I still don't think our points deduction will matter. Can see us finishing 8-10 points behind 21st.

I would love that to be the case because it'll have meant we've had a proper clear out.

Would that really be ambitious? Doesn't sound it to me.

Fratton Park will be rocking on Saturday and the Leicester players won't be able to hack it. I could see it being another QPR away type performance.

It hit me yesterday that this group of players have essentially stuck their middle finger up to the players that paved their way for the title winners. Those that dug us out of League 1 and The Championship in the early 2010s. The likes of Jack Hobbs, Lloyd Dyer, Matty Fryatt, Ritchie Wellens, Alex Tunchev, Steve Howard, Sol Bamba, Paul Gallagher, Martyn Waghorn etc. None of those players got to the Premier League with us but were all so important in reshaping the club and pushing us in the right direction. We essentially need to pray that we can find these types of characters again. We're right back to square 1.

Obviously full of ability. Needs a season scoring/assisting shit loads for an U21 team as opposed to sitting on the bench.

We've won 1 game against sides outside the top 10 since November.

I'd imagine it'll be another summer of selling anyone with any semblance of quality and refusing offers for muck like Luke Thomas or Hamza Choudhury. The only think exciting me for next season is that the likes of Alves, Braybrooke, Aluko, Gray, Evans and Monga should all have a big part to play (assuming we're not gonna sell them all too). Would be nice to build a proper spine of Leicester lads.

No it's all on the board. This is beyond one season. It's a steep decline of 5 years.

Cherki is absolutely class.
