Neither of the ones he kicks with, otherwise the offer will reduce to 35p

Absolutely agree, Seagrave is a world class facility and one as a club we should be very proud of as it’s a massive selling point and given the facilities it should be set us aside and help drive massive improvements in our analysis and sports science. It’s just such a frustration it has coincided with such a massive drop off in standards, and culture throughout the club which has meant that we are now in position where we have these world class facilities and yet we are a mid table championship club with a very average manager/head coach, a squad that is short on genuine talent and aligned to the club also massively struggling from a financial aspect as well.

I agree if used properly problem is based on current evidence I am not sure the current decision makers are capable of making good decisions to deliver long term value for us. If we stay in the champ or worse still drop into league 1 I don’t think having a big shiny training ground will be enough to attract the very best of young talent. It would be like taking Harrods and filling it full of tat, it may look great from the outside but you wouldn’t have any desire to go in and buy anything.

Forest look to be increasing the capacity at the city ground, costs are not included in PSR calculation and will generate significant additional revenue. As much as Seagrave is an amazing facility with hindsight it was a massive error to sink so much cash into something that doesn’t offer any tangible opportunity to increase commercial / matchday revenue. We massively missed a trick not developing the KP when we had the chance. Seagrave was a massive investment and it’s massively impacted our ability to trade moving forward and the investment isn't delivering a return to justify the outlay.

I am still struggling to get my head around what a complete and utter clusterfcuk we managed to make of the whole PSR thing and above all that how, how anyone involved could morally sit there and actually thing to even stay within the boundaries of PSR that to lose £105m in a 3 year period was acceptable or sound business sense is absolutely beyond me. And yet not only did we do that we actually breached by losing nearly double that amount, there was no demonstration of one iota of business acumen or responsibility. It was literally like people were playing a game of football manager, gambling the entire future of our club. We paid wages well above our means, in what other world does a business operate with a wage bill over 100% of its turnover, we budgeted that we had to secure European football, we got relegated. Our recruitment became lazy, stale and reliant on paying way over the odds to attract rank average players. Our commercial and sponsorship revenue largely underpinned by deals with betting/crypto companies such as FBS, Pari Match, BC Game and the ill fated K Bet. It was a recipe for disaster and eventually financial meltdown as at some point if not already the case, the cash reserves run dry. What this has demonstrated is a complete lack of robust budgeting, forecasting or planning, we continually blow every available penny we have in the summer, we rarely have any contingency plans in place regards having budget set aside for a managerial change or for the winter transfer window. in the 23/24 accounts our cash in bank had reduced by £1m from the previous season, so effectively we were burning £20k per week to keep the club operating day to day. It will be interesting to see what the cash reserves were at the end of the 24/25 accounting period because if this has reduced significantly again then it would explain some of the decisions/issues of recent weeks and suggest that the club is now having to really manage cash flow to try and manage its commitments and running costs.

Another day and another day of Leicester City Football Club pissing off the majority of its fanbase. Granted it was never going to be a real high profile TD coming in but FFS this is so underwhelming on a par with Monica coming in as Interim MD, looks like fresh blood coming in but these people are so new they are just puppets to Top and Rudkin, nothing will change and we will just carry on, on the same direction of travel but with an extra layer of cost and management to act as scapegoats. Absolutely sick of this regime and the self protection, lack of accountability and responsibility and continued gaslighting of the fanbase.

Will definitely chuck a few pennies your way pal you have always supported and sponsored me 😊 -
Couldn’t agree more. In those early games under Kingy we looked fit, well prepared and we adopted a high intensity press, we looked very fit and very well drilled out of possession, this is on the manager as this is either a tactical decision or the players are just not responding to him.
-
Funny thing is in the couple of early pre season games under Kingy we looked the opposite, fit, well drilled, hard working out of possession and pressing high. There has definitely been a big drop off under Marti and a noticeable change in how we set up out of possession, we are so passive.

Realistic Managerial Replacements
Claudio Fannieri replied to winteriscoming's topic in Leicester City Forum
Tony Mowbray until the end of the season then move him into the Technical Director Role and bring in permanent manager in summer -
Agreed, he will probably lose his job but there level of performance and more importantly their effort and application is streets ahead of our mob.
-
Because we are in the bottom 2 for distance covered and sprints, coupled with and are constantly 2nd best in duels …… basically we are lazy and get out worked and out battled in most if not every game. It’s disgusting
-
If we were a proper football club that drive high standards and were forward thinking regardless of the last minute winner then that performance and the underlying stats are showing a massive red flag. Grab this club by the bollocks and show you care and have a ruthless streak and regardless of that result say thank you but it’s not good enough and move Marti on.
-
Absolutely woeful, dreadful performance, I have never not celebrated us scoring but tonight I just felt nothing even after a last minute banger to win the game. that performance was yet another insult to the shirt. Please for Jakub as he his one of the good ones and he deserved to have a blinder but feck me that goal has possibly meant at least another month of this absolute dogshit and probably a humping from Coventry. Aside from occasional moments of brilliance we are a disgrace of a side. That was sheer robbery almost embarrassing to win that.
