Will depend on how the 22/23 accounts look

Their latest accounts for 22/23 already has them spending more on wages than we ever did, and ours was horrendous at one point so that takes some effort for a non-big 6 side That won't even include the wages of the big players they brought in last summer who would be on quite a lot as well (like Tielemans and Diaby) and there has been a few new contracts for players which very likely means pay rises for them

Would Belvoir drive have been big enough to be able to host both the mens and womens sides and their youth teams as well?

Villa are seemingly trying to speed run what we have done as well Latest set of accounts had their wages at £194m which is above what even we managed, and I am not sure that will even include some of their big buys last summer who will be on massive money

Going to be quite interesting to see what the eventual outcome of Forest's charge is As their defence is based around them holding onto Johnson and selling later in the window to get more money - if that defence holds up and they get away with it, I imagine we would then be able to do the same and not have to sell before the end of June Although I do think they will get nailed for it

Why should we do something we technically have no reason to?

Statement from the club https://www.lcfc.com/news/3923850?lang=en Today (Wednesday 6 March) the EFL has published a decision of the Club Financial Reporting Panel (CFRP), which confirms that the EFL’s Club Financial Reporting Unit (CFRU) acted outside of its powers in its dealings with Leicester City in November 2023. Although the Club is pleased that the CFRP’s decision found in its favour, it is concerned that it was necessary for the CFRP to intervene in this way to prevent the CFRU from acting outside of established EFL rules. Leicester City confirms it is in discussions with the football authorities regarding its profitability and sustainability calculations. Notwithstanding the CFRP’s decision, the Club remains committed to seeking an appropriate overall outcome in this matter.

https://www.efl.com/news/2024/march/06/efl-statement--leicester-city/ Earlier this season, based on financial information submitted by the Club, the EFL’s independent Club Financial Reporting Unit (CFRU) concluded that the Club was forecasting to breach the Profitability and Sustainability (P&S) loss limits for the three-year period ending with financial year 2023/24. The CFRU determined that it was appropriate under P&S Rule 2.9 to require Leicester City Football Club to submit a business plan to demonstrate how it planned to comply with the EFL’s P&S spending limits. The Club argued that the relevant P&S Rule did not apply to it, meaning the CFRU had no right to require a business plan in respect of Season 2023/24. That matter was referred by the Club to the independent Club Financial Reporting Panel (CFRP) which concluded that under the Rules as currently written, Rule 2.9 did not apply to the Club and so it was under no obligation to submit and agree to a business plan. The CFRP decision has been published today and will help in informing the EFL on the potential Rule amendments that will be proposed for consideration by Championship Clubs in the future to ensure all Clubs are treated equally under the Rules.  Leicester City is responsible for meeting its obligations in respect of the P&S Rules which will be assessed along with the submissions of all other Clubs in accordance with the League’s established processes. The League will be making no further comment on this matter at this time.

Massive fire at a building right next to Southampton's stadium

Brilliant defensively tonight

Todays Results - Tuesday 5th March Championship: Daniel Iversen (7.2 - 90 mins) - Stoke City 0-1 Leeds United League Two: Lewis Brunt (5.8 + 1 error leading to goal - 90 mins) - Mansfield Town 1-2 MK Dons National League South: Paul Appiah (15 mins) - Maidstone United 2-2 Bath City

Who do you play in that role though if not Hamza when Ricardo is also out injured? We don't appear to really have anyone else for it

You thought he should be dropped after the shift he put in against Bournemouth?

Surprised Ipswich have still only scored 1 more goal than we have this season

Vestergaard has to go straight back in, but the question will be whether Coady would be comfortable on the right instead of Faes As much as I would want us to do so I am not too sure that Wilf should be starting when he is only just back

Shocking second half but after the last 3 league results for me it was just important to get the 3 points Fatawu and Mads were great, and very good to finally have Wilf back

Ipswich’s game looks fun…

Cov 4-0 up against Rotherham

VARDYYYYYYY

Unless Sunderland are going to be sat in their box defending with 20 men like QPR (which I don’t expect they will do) it doesn’t need to be a big dominant, target man striker to get on the end of them if we are putting the crosses in early / first time

2-0 Silko Thomas again, Richards assist

Under 21s are winning 1-0 at home against Leeds Silko Thomas scored, Brad Young assist (route one?) Young Cover Grist Godsmark-Ford Wormleighton Raikhy Briggs Cartwright Richards Ewing Thomas Subs: Doherty, Lindsay, Donnelly, Popov, Pennant

They haven’t got a clue until our latest accounts are published They put this in the article but in typical The Sun fashion they conveniently leave out about the Covid season being included in that period so literally everyone had exacerbated losses “Leicester posted losses of at least £141.75m over three previous seasons, not including the last.”

Will be surprised if the club even mentions about the under 21s playing tonight
