Doubt it will untill we sign some better players or our better players come back from injury. Unfortunately, I don't think either are likely to happen soon.

Who was it that signed 2 Skipp for 25m?

Problem is, he scores a couple of 1 yard tap ins and everyone forgets about the other 99.9% of the time and are gushing over the man. It's like playing with 10 men most of the time, when he does get involved he turns into Akinbiyi more often than not. Hope he calls it at the end of the season and doesn't tarnish his reputation. Get to the MLS or A League and enjoy scoring some goals in the sun lad. Daka might be the 2nd coming of Elvis Hammond but at least having him will give the opposition defence something to think about and hopefully open up some haps for BEK and Facundo to take advantage of.

You make it sound like the success was part of us investing heavily The success was based on the groundwork laid first by Pearson/Walsh and then later Puel/Macia. SInce Top took over we had a short rise, which I'd argue was inevitable given the good work that had been done and then pretty much since then a slow gradual decline. With us becoming a worse team whilst simultaneously spending more money Can't believe i'm even replying to this drivel, but I'm bored..

The comparisons with Cooper are genuinely brain dead. Cooper had a big part in shaping this squad this summer. Didn't strengthen the wings and wasted salary and transfer funds on bench warmers. Cooper relied on absolute Goalkeeping heroics, red cards and goals out of literally nothing, which were nothing to do with him as a manager. It's impossible and unfair to judge RVN on this.

Either got to open the chequebook and accept the punishment down the line or accept our fall back into a mid table 2nd tier team.

Come back from a game of FIFA and feel like I've entered a parallel universe

Missed the last 15 but did we create any decent chances after Vardy's 1 on 1 chance? The fact that we look so blunt is a concern to me, despite an overall good performance. All this game is reaffirming to me is that the manager and system are good enough but we desperately need to bring in some quality in the final 3rd if we have designs on staying up.

What a dull night in the Prem.

Christ almighty. Awful

Not really done anything of note with the ball yet. Very static and slow when. We get to the final 3rd Vardys probably been their best defender so far. Hopefully we can start worrying them. Its good up till the final 3rd

Weird, it feels like the manager is seeing what the fans are seeing. I'm not used to this

Putting this out there. We recall Cannon. Unable to agree a deal to sell him. He sits rotting in the same no-man's land as Alves for 5 months

Performances are improving and we're finally not playing a team in the champions league or with Danny Ward in goal. For the pedant's out there, it's not literally a must win. But if we're actually applying context and knowledge of the game, a win is incredibly important. A minimum of 4 points from these and Fulham but ideally 6.

Just cus im a knob, im enjoying this forest performance immensely so far

Imagine we didn't get promoted spending about 80-90m on wages and spending 40-50m on transfers

This near Leicester road/the quarry in Whitwick? Looks really familiar but could also just be because there's a bunch of trees and stone

So say Top is allowed to spend what he wants. In June 2023 turnover reported by clubs Leicester £177m. Chelsea £512m. Spurs £550m Do you think top would spend 350m a season of his own money to try and keep up with these clubs? Do you think any businessman/collection of business men would throw almost a billion pounds at a club over 3 years and expect no return? If the answer is yes, then fair play. We massively disagree on the core argument. If the answer is no then that means the clubs would instead run up a debt of 1bn over 3 seasons, whether that be in loans from the owner or some mad bank with no foresight. My point is, PSR or no PSR, the teams that earn the most money will spend the most. Wanting a system where random businessmen can come in, rack up a load of debt against a club and then walk away with the club in flames is absolute madness in my opinion.

Big clubs will always be able to spend more though, this helps prevent countries being able to come in and completely dwarf us. Do you think it's a good idea for clubs to be losing to be running up hundreds of millions pounds of debt trying to compete with clubs that turnover 2 or 3 times more than them?

I use twitter for boxing and football news really. As long as I avoid the comments then I'm golden, if I do accidentally stumble on the comments I just remember that everything has to be black and white and people say things they wouldn't otherwise say. As long as I keep tiktok off my phone and the ridiculous gormless scrolling for hours I'm fine. The problem is if a mate sends a funny video, I watch that and before I know it, I've wasted 2 hours of my life and a good portion of my few remaining brain cells. If you get sucked into reading comments and posts that are written to annoy you and get you to engage and it's affecting your mental health, then you really need to get off that stuff.

Haha, I don't particularly care a great deal so it's easy to make jokes

Jordan's issue was never with Leicester, it was with how embarrassingly poor the Premier League have been in all of this. He even says that he would have done the same as Leicester.

Love that football is at the stage where fan's are creaming themselves at the possibility that the club can incur further debt in the tens of millions

Nice! And they can't do us next season as we won't be in the league.
