Paninistickers

We have hundreds of systematic problems within the club. He was responsible for none of them. Our plight has no bearing on him. However, I find it insulting that he had anything to do with our club. Laughably out of his depth. Zero intelligence, zero gravitas, zero presence. The fault of our owner and the DoF. But even so, his brief, disastrous, clueless tenure is an abysmal stain on the club

Always put his own goals (Middlesbrough aside) down to being brave and getting in there where it hurts. Remember the first two games of around 1999? Tough start away at arsenal and home to Chelsea and he scored the winner for the arse and equalised for Chelsea both times with the last play of the game. Four points turning to one but for 5 more seconds and Frank! That said, didn't he score with winner for us against Chelsea with some odd back flick? Obvs whilst he was still a Chelsea player at the time....

I felt a bit for him when I saw him interviewed on the socials midweek. He's a boy. Really looks like a kid. It's a lot on his shoulders and he has had some stick. There's every chance the lad puts on a stone of muscle and a 10% burst of extra pace in side the next 12-24 months. Maybe one that needs some time

It's never Luke Thomas is it? Never a suspension or hamstring or knee strain

Today was a rare 6/10. Like maybe his fifth or sixth at that level in 140 games. Most are around the 2-3 level. Ultimately, whilst he plays, we'll always struggle. He's conditioned to lose games. Is, Middlesbrough, Sheffield United. All he's ever done is lose games, week in, week out. It's an infection. He just can't do anything other than vague competence every 25 games or so

I'm surprised anyone is surprised. He's absolutely levels below his natural level - albeit a gaff is only ever one pass away . He's tarred with our overall decline and bares the brunt of fan frustration of numerous things with the club; chiefly because he has a laconic style,.is good looking and has flamboyant hair - all things most Leicester people despise..

And that's the core question.....

Question for buyers of this level is not what we cost, but what we could be worth. You basically buying a turnkey business with stadium, training and feeder club all sorted and it needs a decent 250m of working capital pumped in over the next 3/4 years to get the club back in the EPL. Which, when added to a buy price, would a healthy LCFC 15th in the EPL be worth, say, 450m+

I hope you're right. Hampshire embarrassed the last final. Couldn't have had 200 there. Fortunately we made the final our own.

It'll be a pleasant surprise. I hope they do. I can't see the good folks of Ruislip and Uxbridge and Ealing taking their picnic baskets and man from del monte hats up to Nottingham

This is guesswork, but I suspect accurate. The player sales pay the day to day. We sell Fatawu. Run the invoice straight down to Macquarie. Cash it in. Keep the lights on.. KP are the masters of kicking the can down the road

Same, with no pressure for ticket sales, I'll buy on Friday Unfortunately, Middlesex are a disastrous team for a final. Literally no supporters apart from the egg and bacon tie brigade. They'll have nobody there. We're never going to take more than 2k-3k ....but at least it's a noisy 2k. Ideally, we needed the final to be Lancs

Personally, and I'm prepared to be wrong here, I don't know where and what all the supposed debt is. The Macquarie debt is a technicality only. The payments are covered. The club is in essence the underwriter, rather than debtor. KP have basically written off hundreds of millions with debt to equity conversion. Which tbf explains the high asking price so they can recoup some. The only debts I work out are transfer instalments still owed (Skipp, herrmansen, Cullen, Stephy, Faes, VK, Souttar and maybe some others I CBA to think of) and hidden debt for seagrave (which I don't think was ever put through the club's books)

Not sure that's correct. I think the ownership - to huge surprise - deposited the money into the bank account at the start of the season (the statement says as much) to cover the shortfall and comply with the financial rules. Surprising? Hugely. But the club went up for sale immediately after. As has been pointed out, the cash injection is from the family's view a necessary evil. And the conversion to equity is window dressing. That's not a criticism by the way. It's another (all too rare) logical business manoeuvre (similar to rejecting money for Louis Page - he's worth more as an asset than he was as a cash injection)

I doubt very much he has ever wanted to sell. There's no change of heart to have. Simply, he's run out of money. His choices are limited to selling it or losing it completely.
