That 2nd paragraph is a gut punch. What is the club thinking. Start terminating contracts and pay them off its FFP.
As he said on the forum interview last week - we aren’t bringing anyone in - soumare, praet , Perez will have to play a decent squad role if we can’t get them sold

Don't rule out big Dan.
Had a bad feeling that would be possible but cheers for ruining my Friday - amartey in the back 3 in front of soyuncu is absolutely unequivocally mental - beyond mental

We’d accept £85m. We must also remember that then brings the fee down to £68m.
Does it? I thought it was 20% of the profit- so 50m profit and 10 goes to st etienne- so we clear 75m

If Lil Wes goes, Cags will come in and be phenomenal again.
Tellin yoh
I actually dont completely disagree with that- will probably get pelters but when cags had a run of games with evans he was very very decent- up until that bournemouth meltdown which he has never recovered from- anyway I think it would be decent enough- would need a 3rd cb in though for competition even on loan
-
The press have properly lost the plot on this and so have Newcastle and Chelsea - 70m for fofana and 40m for Maddison - those 2nd bids don’t even get within 20m of each asking price - really really bizarre and no way we sell for that money - it’s not even like they are bids to be considered

Class act again from our owner- I dont think anywhere else does simple things so well for their fans- really is a nice way to say they appreciate us being there to support the team- dont try to make it anything to do with blooming transfers- just enjoy the gesture for what it is - ill be enjoying mine and then buying a few more whilst giving every ounce of support I have for our boys on sunday to get those 3 points and get off to a great start!!

Hahah, he's a young lad with too much time on his hands, probably overthinking things in his spare time. If we start seeing him missing from line ups and hearing of him missing training sessions then I'll come back and say you were right
I think the kids got a heart of gold and will give his all for us as long as he's a Leicester player.
Agreed- he wont do a Mahrez on us- well id be very surprised if he did- no surprise that he wants the move to a bigger club for triple his money and most probably he thinks better chance of getting in frances world cup squad- id say thats relatively normal- I have every faith our club are boxing very cleverly with this as we pretty much always have when selling- he is not for sale- unless you pay a stupid amount of money- id say thats probably in the region of 85 million - if and its a big if they stump up that kind of money id imagine we will seriously consider it- a club the size of ours would have to - everyone has a price- all that being said lets all hope he is still a leicester player after the end of this month because for us its about seeing him play in a leicester shirt

If that’s the case and he is on crutches we will 100% be playing 3-5-2 Sunday and for the foreseeable

The only way this happens is with world record defender money - it will be 90m as the asking price I would say - they may knock 10-15m off that for Colwill but it’s going to take that kind of money or we won’t accept

A million % not happening

He hasn’t really just done those 2 things in the last half hour has he ???

I liked it when Brendan proclaimed that he was "above average at most sports."
Can’t believe I missed that bit off - actually made me giggle - classic Rodger’s

I don’t think your summary of the financial situation is quite what he said. He confirmed that we needed to sell to buy and said that we had to balance the books. There was no indication that we need to sell players or that we won’t replace sold players.
I don’t think he said anything about selling to buy - he said selling to balance the books - not once does he relate it to then being able to buy - in fact he pretty much hints multiple times throughout the whole interview that he won’t be strengthening the he squad - time will tell I guess

Couldn’t see a specific topic on this and thought it definitely deserved one
Good interview from the forum lad - I actually think that’s about as much honesty about the current situation as we are going to get and clears up a lot of things straight from the horses mouth - I’ll put it out there now I’m not a Rodger’s lover or hater - I’m an on the fencer- I don’t think he always gets it right but I also think he is realistically as good as we get
1 - we definitely are in some financial troubles - we don’t have the funds to buy new players - we need to balance the books and get people off the wage bill- my take was that even if we do that there still may be nothing available to bring anyone in - from the way he speaks things are a lot worse than I thought they would be - I know covid - I know bad buys - I know big squad but I still thought we were relatively sound and would have some money available- we clearly dont and that should be a big concern for us all
2- he is obviously surprised about the severity of situation as well by his wording - im not sure how that happens and shows some internal issues but he definitely has a massive excuse for failure which he is making very clear that he doesn’t have what he needs to be successful - basically says I’ll do what I can with what iv got but don’t expect miracles which to be honest is probably fair
3- can’t praise Maddison or Fofana enough - he knows they are the 2 he needs - and makes it very clear we can’t sell either - if we do I wouldn’t be surprised if he resigned - on the reverse he knows kasper and youri will be gone before window closes - again no surprises for us there and exactly as expected - a lot clearer to me now why he has said ward will be first choice - as per point 1 we simply don’t have anything available even for replacements- all the money coming in is needed to balance the books - will be same when youri leaves don’t expect anyone to come in
4- refers to the deadwood numerous times - obviously wants them out but nobody wants most of them - obviously doesn’t take any responsibility for signing a few of them but fundamentally nothing again we haven’t speculated about already- club will do everything they can to move them on but very difficult
my take for what it’s worth on the whole interview is it basically confirms nearly everything we expected in most ways but the financial situation is a lot worse than we thought and that’s obviously a concern - it’s not all doom and gloom though - he is very well respected for his coaching and that’s exactly what he has to do with what we’ve got - as long as we keep fofana and Maddison we will finish top half again and for those of us that have been around many years that’s something I’ll never take for granted - going to be up to us as much as ever this year to stay positive and support our club with everything we can

Honestly one of the most depressing things iv seen for a long time- however Schmeichel and Tielemans are only ones going from those 4- and we probably all knew that already- biggest concern is we dont seem to have replacements lined up- thats proper scary

So it makes sense to blow our budget on an area we are not short? Bigger fish to fry, and if you are not going to back youth or backup now, you never will.
we wouldnt have to blow our budget in any way at all- could pick up someone for less than half of Kaspers wages and a decent enough fee- I actually dont think there is many bigger fish to fry than having a top keeper - game of opinions though - we will see- as for backing youth and backups though- there is one very simple thing that has to be non negotiable- they have to be good enough- doesnt matter on age or how long theve been back up- got to be good enough- neither are- and id go as far as saying not even close to being good enough

It just may make sense to go with Ward/Iversen until next year?
I dont think going with a sub standard goal keeper makes any sense in any possible way at any possible time- a top top keeper is so important- we will quite possibly have one of the worst keepers in the Prem - Insane not to get a keeper in- time will tell

obviously certain things have been shared with the Merc and close sources over the last few days and they have allowed them to release small pieces this week as things unfold- I find those quotes from Rodgers absolutely mind boggling- he thinks Ward is a number 1 and has just been unlucky- wowsers- Ward is ok- bang averagely ok- Forest are going to have Henderson in goal and we are going into the season with Ward- holy crap- thats proper mental

such a strange one this- I cannot believe we would let him go for less than £70m- why are they coming back with something that is still a million miles away- makes no sense- if that journo is in the know then there is definitely something we have no idea about going on here- you dont put 2 bids in under 50m for a 70m player - seems so bizarre
