Three years of failure at best. For which the club is culpable. As I've said. Before that we were thriving - Top 3 for 2 seasons till the last day, European regulars including the Europa Conference semi-final, FA Cup and Community Shield wins. What changed? The introduction of tighter PSR rules. Which: - Everton and Forest have already been punished for breaking. - Villa and Newcastle have had to reign in their spending and make questionable deals to avoid breaking it, despite actually qualifying for the Champions League. - Man Utd and Chelsea have been given extreme flexibility available to nobody else in order to comply. - And which the Premier League themselves admitted to the independent panel were poorly written before the said independent panel found in our favour. Stop looking at just 50% of the problem. (it's actually more like 20%)

I've said repeatedly on this forum that the club are culpable for a lot of things and Rudkin's position is untenable. But to claim they are solely responsible when we've just proven, and they've just admitted, that their rules are very, very poorly written, is palpably absurd. This has EVERYTHING to do with the Premier League and the EFL. The thing that you're actually blaming the board for, is poor management, which is fair enough, but that was their poor reaction to very poor, anti-competitive rules implemented by demonstrably incompetent leagues. You can't accuse others of burying their head in the sand about the club's culpability while simultaneously burying your head in the sand about the root cause of the issue.

The initial plans were drawn up in 2018, around the same time as the training ground and the club chose to prioritise Seagrave. If I recall correctly we actually got planning permission granted the week Vichai died. Then COVID happened and planning wasn't submitted until October 2021. We've had PSR and relegation since then and the local council didn't actually approve the planning permission until December 2023. If we stay up this season they'll start as soon as they can. I do hope they build the hotel and arena first though so we can sell it back to ourselves if and when we need to.

Rob Tanner said on a live stream on a fan youtube channel that this is still happening, they're just waiting for the yo-yo-ing to stop

You need to be writing to the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport about this issue. Immediately. Write to our local MPs too. The Premier League has humiliated themselves and made a football regulator far more likely. We are in a truly unique situation as a football club compared to any other; the PSR has directly turned us from a thriving club, one competing fairly at the top of the league repeatedly, winning trophies and competing at the high end of European competitions, to one of artificial financial chaos and our name being dragged through the mud. Both the Premier League and the EFL have repeatedly broken their own rules and possibly the law in just this one issue. We have been treated disgracefully. A football regulator is now inevitable. You need to get ahead of the game and represent our interests when this happens. Now.

Why would it affect Leeds?!?!??!

He was within the 22/23 accounting window BUT we were officially a Championship club.

****ing hell, they can't even link to their own statement properly Incompetent at every level.

The EFL and the Premier League have demonstrably NOT acted in ANY good faith whatsoever. They have repeatedly broken their own rules, acted outside their jurisdiction AND broken the law in their pursuit of us. Both the EFL and the Premier League are anti-competitive, incompetent and corrupt.

Let's sell Vardy to Leuven for £200m (fair market value) then loan him back. Absolute ****ing joke.

You know what Finners, someone needs to go on their forum and tell them that.

Enjoy.

This line is pretty astonishing in Delaney's article: "Much of the anger within the top two divisions is nevertheless at the Premier League itself. As one senior official privately complained, “they were allowed to escape last season and blitz their way through the Championship”. There is frustration that Leicester didn’t sell more players on being relegated." There are officials at some clubs that seemingly wanted the EFL to punish us mid-season, which is another case we won against them, and they're frustrated we didn't sell more players??? We sold Maddison, Barnes and Castagne, loaned out Kristensen, Soumare, Thomas* and Iversen*, and released Tielemans, Evans, Soyuncu, Perez, Bertrand, Amartey and Mendy for FREE, ALL of whom had been first team regulars. There are officials in this league that actively want to destroy the club. "We won't want too many Leicester Citys"

Us to anyone accusing us of any wrongdoing from now on:

From back in March: https://www.lcfc.com/news/3939567/lcfc-statement--22-march-2024?lang=en# We reaffirm the Club’s position that we will continue to fight for the right of Leicester City and all clubs to pursue their ambitions, particularly where these have been reasonably and fairly established through sustained sporting achievement. And they ****ing meant it.

They've exposed themselves as incompetent AND corrupt in just this case. They're a ****ing humiliation.

If our budget in January isn't £1bn....

"If the Premier League's rules are shit, you must acquit."

"You come at the King Power, you'd better not miss"

It's 4-0.
