Aren’t the links because he was pictured wearing a retro rangers top whilst away with us

Jordan James was reportedly the subject of serious interest from Serie A in January, with Atalanta and Fiorentina linked with Wales’ rising midfield star. Since then, the likes of Crystal Palace and Leicester have also been touted as potential suitors for the 19-year-old, who has another year – plus an option for a further 12 months – on his Birmingham City contract.

I thought he looked suspect in games for us Fulham etc, a quick check and it doesn’t make great reading. https://oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/thread/312168/bring-back-jack He’s one of the worst keepers I’ve seen at professional level and I’m not exaggerating. He can’t save a damn thing. First goal was bad enough but the second was pathetic. Any shot on target and you fear it’s a goal. Another wonderful decision from the manager Besides the QPR game I don’t recall Iversen making a single save. He’s ****ing wank.

But as the worst year drops, so has the limit after relegation for the first year in the accounts, before any changes on last years accounts happen a 16% percent reduction will be needed on permitted losses. That could be the 10-15m you mention.

Need Leeds to stay down, they will really be in the shit when all the loans return, on top of the spending

20 in 28 central attacking midfielder starting, but how many times did the tactics revert to him playing a more advanced role? 6 in 12 as a CF

Enzo Maresca promises to lead Leicester’s Premier League campaign Manager has been courted by clubs in Europe but has held talks with Srivaddhanaprabha about the plans for Leicester’s most important players John Percy 14 May 2024 • 8:04pm Enzo Maresca is planning for the Premier League with Leicester City after assuring senior officials of his commitment to the club. The manager will reject offers from European clubs this summer to fully focus on establishing the Championship title winners back in the top division. Despite leading the club to promotion, there have been some doubts over the 44-year-old Italian’s future with the club facing punishment for breaching financial rules. Leicester were charged by the Premier League with an alleged breach of Profitability and Sustainability Rules [PSR] in March and could start the new season with a points deduction. That uncertainty has alerted clubs over Maresca’s availability, with Sevilla, Porto and other clubs abroad monitoring the former Manchester City coach ahead of the 2024-25 season. Yet Maresca held talks with Leicester’s chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha during a post-season trip to Monaco and is in advanced talks over plans for the summer. Leicester are finalising a pre-season training camp in Europe and Maresca has advised on new contracts for leading scorer Jamie Vardy and Denmark international Jannik Vestergaard. Abdul Fatawa, the loan signing from Sporting, is poised to complete a permanent move this summer for about £14m. Leicester are under a transfer embargo imposed by the Football League for alleged breaches of PSR. That embargo restricts clubs from negotiating new contracts but the ban will be lifted next month and Leicester are likely to accelerate talks then. Vardy is expected to sign a fresh 12-month deal after initial talks with the club hierarchy. The former England international will be 38 in January but underlined his importance to Maresca’s squad in the final months of the season. Maresca has also pushed for Vardy to be offered new terms and an agreement is said to be close. Vestergaard is also poised to sign a new deal after revitalising his Leicester career in the past 12 months under the Italian. Manchester City defender Callum Doyle and Galatasaray winger Yunus Akgun will return to their parent clubs after their loan deals. Leicester must also make decisions on the futures of a number of other players out of contract. Marc Albrighton, one of the club’s few remaining title winners from 2015/16, is set to leave while the futures of Wilfred Ndidi, Kelechi Iheanacho and Dennis Praet are also uncertain.

Let’s hope the new sponsorship deal is worth 50m a season

Premier League returnees Leicester City are interested in signing Ghanaian midfielder Michael Baidoo in the summer transfer window, according to a report by GHANASoccernet. Baidoo, 24, currently plays for Elfsborg in the Swedish league, where he has been their driving force for the past two seasons, and might switch clubs as Leicester gears up for an official bid. Considered a potential replacement for Wilfried Ndidi, Baidoo's stellar performances have attracted attention from the Foxes amid interest in Ndidi from other clubs. Having excelled in Sweden, Baidoo claimed Elfsborg's Player of the Season title last year, contributing to their near-league victory. Prior to his Swedish stint, Baidoo impressed at Sandnes Ulf in Norway. Leicester's affinity for African talents plays a significant role in their pursuit of Baidoo, who could fortify the midfield and boost attacking prowess. The Foxes have already secured Abdul Fatawu Isshaku permanently following his impressive loan spell at the King Power Stadium.

Chilwell played 8 games for Huddersfield

3, I thought it was the opposite look at what they spunked on a gk, only to revert back to the gk that won them promotion and their form/points picked up when they dropped Trafford towards the end of the season

“I don’t care about this (selling players for financial reasons). If we lose important players, it’s important that we bring in important players. It’s not a problem if we need to sell players to solve any problems. But it’s important that we can then bring players in. “We need to be competitive. I don’t want to be, this time next year, where we were a year ago. This has to be the main focus.”

Cost of sales went up that season by 30m which the club attributes to sacking Rodger’s and his staff. So 23/24 won’t be as bad in that respect, but you also have to factor in the costs of the new staff

110m worth of players

Psr isn’t 105m for us with one year in the champ at 50% so it will be 87.5m for the next few seasons until it changes

But that last season in the prem also factored in +70m in player trading, where do we bring in 110m in sales even if we spent 40m?

Ndidi will get the wage he desires from a club and it won’t be 40k

If forest stay up they will probably get another next season as there increased amount will go from 65m to 87m permitted losses net -50m this season plus there wage bill must have gone through the roof with all these signings

You said our midfield was average, a quick look on transfer market values it at 30m more than Southampton and 20m more than Leeds. It’s all relative. its not like other teams in the division were blessed with Central midfield options.

Half the season, we had Casadei not exactly paupers in the context of the Championship.

Because you are talking about how bad the midfield was.

When you talk about how bad the midfield is and lack of rotation, maybe a different manager plays more than one striker, yes wanting Daka is relative to what you have. Just because he was shit for us and there was a alternative solution that netted 20 and a club legend, doesn’t mean another club wouldn’t have valued Daka 10-15 goals over the course of the season

Average but commanding hundreds of thousands in wages and pl experience. let’s not forget how top heavy our squad was and although they turned out shit, how many teams would be crying out for nacho and daka as starters in the champ?

No other Manager? I don’t know about that

Few beers and in his head he footballs, peak Liam Gallagher. Did you see the balloon slide tackle on the kid?
