From the actual accounts document: What does this relate to??

Absolutely yes. But he would never come back.

It's why Coady left

Absolutely sh!te

Don't worry everyone we're good - Skipp is about to come on

Can't believe how many fans are still there

Genuinely thought this post was from tonight at first glance

WTAF was he trying to do nearly scoring an own goal? Hate him.

Good start

No, the thing about half time was someone on here misquoting the article. Here's the snippet: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/01/24/leicester-turmoil-van-nistelrooy-fights-drift-relegation/

It gives me a tiny bit of comfort that someone who isn't an LCFC fan can get it like he does. Most outsiders think we're just entitled, which he references in the article.

I can actually understand the previous mismanagement up to the relegation in 2022/23 to an extent. Based on aiming high but making mistakes and missing. What really baffles and angers me is that we didn't use that as a ground zero for a fresh start and more sustainable way of operating moving forward. We've continued the gravy train and terrible signings thereafter. Coady, Skipp. Choudhury and Vestergaard extensions. Ayew, BDCR.

I'll start the guesses... £70,000 to £100,000 player: Coady? Justin? Daka? Soumare? 90 mile commuters: Coady? Winks?

Wow. There's a lot to unpick there. Percy gets it: Average players have earned lucrative contracts and become almost impossible to move on. One player who was not a regular starter saw his salary rise to £100,000 a week from around £70,000, following promotion from the Championship. Players appear comfortable and unchallenged, with some allegedly having a direct line to Srivaddhanaprabha. This is a club which allows at least two first-team players to commute every day from over 90 miles away.

Brilliant, thanks!

I must have misunderstood amortisation – I was under the impression that amortisation for a player lasted the length of their original contract, and once that period of time is up, any profit would be pure 100% profit? So for Justin, he allegedly cost around £6m in 2019 on a 5 year deal. So would that not be £1.2 million amortisation per year until 2024, then 100% profit thereafter? Equally for Ricardo, around £20m in 2018 on a 5 year deal would be £4m amortisation until 2023, then 100% profit thereafter? Eager to learn something new if I've completely misinterpreted it.

And we weren't even in the league for all of those seasons!

Whilst we're both guessing his wages, there's absolutely no way he'll have signed in 2023 for as little as £8,000 per week, with no promotion wage increase. Remember this is the club paying Hamza Choudhury £50,000 per week.

Circa £500k profit is better than nothing, but it's not the £3 million profit that some think it is Still, miles better financially than the signings of Coady, Soumare, Reid, Ayew, Ward (I could go on and on)

5 against our relegation rivals without finding the net (Wolves and Palace)

And then when he played for us he was honking! Remember when he let in a goal by the Preston goalie Lonergan?

Kevin Pressman!

I read it like that too. Almost like once the 22/23 jurisdiction appeal has been heard, the PL reserves the right to charge us for 23/24

Good point!
