kenny

I'd drop him off on Upperton Road 10 minutes before kick off and see if he could run to the ground in time to be bought on in the 70th minute.

Ask any match watching fan and they will have advised him on how best to deal with Ayew...

Turnout was high I thought, it was the same as at the GE which for a by-election is a good turnout.

Plus £30m from Premier League prize money.

If you finish 4th and have qualify for the champions league, you end up around £60-70m better off than finishing just above the relegation places. For us, that's a turnover swing of 30% that you find out across a 9 month season. It is easy to argue that the club should have been budgeting not to do that each year, but they didn't. European competition makes clubs sign more players due to the number of games which is where we thought we were. The club messed up in many ways, but the wage bill is a product of the success we had at the time.

Or aren't we? It all depends which set of rules are being applied at which time in the most onerous way.

Look how the league has punished Sheffield Wednesday. Their owner is pulling the club to bits and is punishment enough. Rather than step into assist they dole out 12 points to make sure they go down rather than just assuming they will as they barely have any players. They have no interest in protecting the clubs.

If that's tickets sold, then there won't be 700 there.

On the one hand, yes. On the other no more Ayew, Daka, Soumare and Winks.

If the PL prevents matches moving abroad then I reckon they will be happy to leave the football pyramid behind. The new super premier league(s) will include Saudi, USA and European clubs playing wherever pays the best around the world. No relegations possible as long as you can afford to be there, plenty of advertising and cash, minimal regulations and no morals. I'm all for it.

The English game is restructuring itself. I think the interest in it has peaked and Nd it's on the way down. The PL has trashed it's own product. Bring on the super league.

All true. I'm not fussed by sympathy or empathy for the club. I would rather we didn't take part in the 'sporting type' entertainment product of the premier League in it's current form. I'm happy to leave that to those that enjoy adverts and foam hands at sporting events.

I'm one of those odd people that believes that the club can be mismanaged and that the premier League is a corrupt mess, mismanaged by football institutions. It wants to be a 'sporting type' product not a sport. 2 thoughts in one person isn't that odd even on a Leicester forum. I don't wish to campaign on anything to do with football. It's an entertainment medium that is making itself less entertaining IMO. I would wholeheartedly support a European Super League as it would be the easiest way to get our national sport back.

I thought Chelsea needed prior approval to sell the hotels, but didn't bother then it was waived through? The rules were changed afterwards to prevent others following suit? As you have said, the charges to those clubs are not psr related and probably won't involve 'sporting' sanctions. My guess is fines.

Not intended to offer any evidence. It's not utter garbage based on my perspective. It certainly gives the facade of some sporting merit to what is essentially an Americanised entertainment league now. Weird that Chelsea selling hotels to themselves was not pursued but Man City are, albeit it will probably dropped at some point. I am in no doubt that the big 6 are in closer cahoots than tribal fans realise, with the relationships designed to keep the money at the top. The sooner it implodes the better.

There will be some merit according to de Marco in appealing as late as possible would be my guess

The PL want the man city thing to go away. The big 6 almost certainly wants it to go away. They are worth money, Leicester are not.

Called it. My guess is we drag this out past the end of the season and leave the league not knowing what to do.

I find the UK to be generally middling, but also really really well used (busy). The best abroad I find are the ones where no one seems to use them and they are just empty.

True, hence the word service. But in this country its supplied for many many more, which is better? I've not tried Asia or Scandinavia, most in Europe I've tried are not as good as ours or are at least comparable. We don't realise how good we have it in the UK.

Whenever I try public transport abroad, I'm often surprised that it isn't as good as I think it will be compared to here. It's also underused compared to here, it's amazing how empty trains and buses are in many countries.

Unfairly hooked. Kristiansen and aluko are clearly first choice fullbacks, but you get the feeling king reverts to tried and tested next match.

I can that big beautiful forehead smashing into winks face.

You are probably right but Europe is currently arming Ukraine instead.
