Better than the ones we have.

We have space, one I think

I will stick this in here as it may reduce some fans' anxiety about the next PSR period. It is a chunk of an article by Swiss Ramble, which has been writing online about football finance since 2009. Swiss Ramble is a subscription service, and Iwould recommend it if you are interested in football finances: https://swissramble.substack.com/. Before reading, remember that clubs have not yet published accounts for 2023/24, so his estimates are based on the figures for last season. He applied some pretty broad assumptions for 2023/24 and has us making a profit of 8m dues to player sales. PSR Overview 2023/24 Using his estimated £8m profit for 2023/24, assuming that the allowable deductions were the same as the £22m made in 2022/23, would lead to an adjusted PSR profit of £30m. That would give a PSR loss of £82m over the 3-year monitoring period, meaning that Leicester would be just about within the maximum loss of £83m.

I'm impressed by his ability to move on from making a mistake, he doesn't let it effect his game.

Facundo Buonanotte joins on loan - Official

We need to balance his game time with El Khannouss and Alves. They are the future; we need to invest in embedding both into the team. -
Nothing would surprise me. I think my season ticket is reasonable, but the individual match tickets prices are already horrendous.

Also people naturally think they are getting a better player if they are going for someone from the big 6. -

I'm encouraged by the amount of loans this season which seems a step in the right direction, see the las get minutes at the weekend Braybrooke get (65), Popov (90) Cover (75), Richards (22) Thomas (101). I assume Alves is the only one seen to be first team ready. I will be fuming is he doesn't get a start in the next league cup round. -

12 mins in a FA Cup and been on the bench 6 times. No sure that a vindication, let see how it goes. So do you think if Forest had offered him more minutes he'd have chosen them over Liverpool? I personally we should have a club policy were we always have at least 1 academy prospect on the bench with 9 subs, how may time last season when we were cruising 3 or 4 could we have bloodied someone. -

I don't think it has anything to do with pathways. If Liverpool or Man City come calling, most players will go. With some respect, they are going to attract a higher quality player in the first place who has more of a chance to make it. It also depends on what you call breaking in the first team; for me, it gets in and then stays in the squad and plays 50-odd games for the club. They have had the likes of Joe Gomez, TAA, Curtis Jones, and Kelleher break in and hang around in the last 5 or 6 years, compared to Chilwell, Barnes, KHD, Thomas, Hamza etc. Where they are better is developing people who make a limited amount of apps to sell for a profit, which is helped by their profile. -
Building a new one makes it easier in some respects, with less distribution to match days and less time pressure to complete the build. However, if they are going to fill a new ground of 40K+ they need to think about access to tickets (General sale) and pricing, a good chunk of empty seats in my area of the ground

100% they have better personnel. I think you can have a functional 3 if the front 3 are working, I'd argue you if you are playing Mavididi in and a CF who is better at link up play and combinations.

Graft is an underrated quality.
-
I think he did OK in both aspects.
-
He was pretty decent yesterday, put a good shift in.
-
I think people also forget his only 21.

It's took Claudio Ranieri 4 league to give Kante a start. Its also took him 8 games to give Simpson and Fuch a start. Teams generally evolve over the course of a season.
