You are right of course. But it's quite interesting to play with different ideas. I actually think expulsion is much more likely than a points deduction. Hopefully, from both the Premier League and Football League with certain safeguards in place should they wish to return to the football league. That said, I actually expect there will be a loop hole or something that Manchester City can exploit to get them off the hook. This may actually suit the Premier League too as to go through with a monster punishment is so risky- especially, with the money numbers being discussed.

This but instead of 1point per charge I'd inflate to 3 points per charge as that's more online with recent points deductions. 39 points deduction each season for 9 years should see them eventually relegated through the leagues with no chance of any promotions over the 9 year period.

I saw a fox this morning and wondered what good fortune would come our way...

So... When can we expect some punishments? Or is it going to be up to individual clubs to seek compensation? Without consequences the story doesn't move on.

Our style isn't going to suit him. We need CBs that can defend against pace and space when we inevitably cough up possession and teams turn us around by playing it in behind or to a player with space to run at our defence or play a pass to someone running in behind. That said I'd rather see the back of Russell Martin and a change in style to reflect the players we have.

This is where we need a set of captains on the field. The youngsters need telling this is what we are doing. This is what I need you to do. This is what's been missing. I'm hopeful we've the right characters now through the spine of the team to do this

I think it's possible to be angry about the running of the club and positive about the performance yesterday. We just need to be clearer and more joined up in how we articulate ourselves. A blast of "We want Alves" on 60mins when he is on the bench is a clear message. "Martin sort it out" is clearer than a boo. And sing the names of the academy lads throughout the game. I've never been so disillusioned, disappointed and disgusted in Leicester City. But yesterday the young lads gave me hope that the corner can be turned. It's the hope that kills you

That was a Leicester City performance to get behind. Loads of young lads, both our own and borrowed playing for the shirt... At last. I get the negative stuff but we are where we are and if we keep being negative about it won't get better. Another day we score a couple. These players just need one to get them started. Hopefully, we sell a couple of the missing bunch and can get a few more in. Feeling much better about us than I was last week and the week before.

I guess we can't play our best 11 due to the transfer window still being open. A rule I hate. I'd love the window to close the second the first League game kicks off.

I like that- but I'd prefer blue shorts. It reminds me of those 90s walkers crisps sponsored kits but with pinstripes. Things were simple then. The home kit was simply put out in white and yellow as away kits.

Someone is spreading rumours for their own gain. Probably for clicks. As most people are pointing out it is highly unlikely we are really close to administration right now. I don't think we'd have been allowed to do the transfer work if we were in that much danger. However, if we don't get out of league 1 this season...

47 million on Okoli (12m), Souttar (15m) and Skipp (20m) and they can't manage the Notts County press. Thomas received a lot of flack on here yesterday, however the quality, accuracy and speed of the passes out to him were atrocious from the 3 above. As both Okoli and Souttar are right footed they naturally play the ball to the left back when panicking. I'm convinced the plan was for Nelson to start at CB with Souttar/Okoli. He is a big miss if you want to persist with this style. I'd imagine that's why Vestergaard was let go rather than Faas. How do you solve it? As unfortunately Martin isn't going to stop asking us to play this way.

Thomas was loaned out to Sheffield United who were in the Premier League. We had Doyle as a loan from Man City. If I recall correctly this was our strongest team. Hermanson Ricky Faas Vestergaard Doyle Winks Fatawu Ndidi KDH Mavididi Vardy

Disappointed with the style of football. My hope was Martin would have adapted his style. I thought I'd seen green shoots of this during pre-season. We simply haven't the players with the necessary skillset to play this style. And I'm fed up of the only 'excitement' being are we going to get caught while playing five 5 yard passes on the edge of our area? Watching Okoli trying to find the ball somewhere about his lower limbs before chipping a hospital pass out to the full back is warning enough that this isn't going to work. Souttar, although a necessary physical presence, is too slow. Skipp isn't big and strong enough to receive the ball facing the wrong way. All this means you then get slow poor passes out to the full backs and their space is taken by the press. All that said... I enjoyed watching our new JJ. Braybrook looks like he is progressing nicely and Alves looks like he can create something with a run of games and a bit of confidence. I hope our new 9 can hold the centre of the pitch and occupy the CBs which will hopefully, allow others to attack the space behind.

Golding gets a mention- he is real!
