https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ruud-van-nistelrooy-addresses-immediate-10079047 Ruud van Nistelrooy addresses his immediate Leicester City future amid expected relegation The Leicester City manager has overseen a run of 14 defeats in 15 Premier League games that has left the club staring at an immediate return to the Championship ByJordan Blackwell 15:36, 3 APR 2025Updated15:40, 3 APR 2025 Ruud van Nistelrooy has vowed not to “run away” from Leicester City’s relegation fight even as their fall back into the Championship nears. Van Nistelrooy has lost 14 of his last 15 Premier League games in charge and City now looked destined for the drop. With eight games to play, they are 12 points behind 17th-placed Wolves and require a miracle to avoid a return to the second tier. But despite their increasingly inevitable relegation, van Nistelrooy is not considering deserting the club. Asked if he’d ever experienced form like this, he said at his press conference on Thursday: “It’s the first time, thank God. “It’s something I feel that I want to go through this with this team, with the squad, with the staff. “Stay together, stay connected with them, fight ourselves through this as people and give energy every day to get ourselves out of this. “For me it’s not something where I feel I want to run away from. I want to be part of this and I want to fight for this with the squad. “That’s every day. So that’s also leading into Monday’s game. It’s another opportunity for us and we can only hope for some support in our own stadium.” If City’s performances on the pitch don’t already show that they are accepting of their relegation, van Nistelrooy’s matter-of-fact take suggests they have. But he says they have an obligation to keep striving even when their fate is sealed. “We have to live in reality,” he said. “Twelve points in eight games and a goal difference that is a lot worse, so that’s another point. It’s huge. “Mathematically it’s not over and we have the obligation to keep going. But also when it’s mathematically over, we still have the obligation to keep going. “We’re not going to stop. We always have that obligation. We feel we want to defend the club and the badge and our own personal pride to show that we’re capable of getting results in this league and doing better than we’re doing. That’s what we’re looking for.”

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/jeremy-monga-leicester-city-game-10072942 Jeremy Monga Leicester City game-time stance set out by Ruud van Nistelrooy The 15-year-old, who has attracted the interest of Manchester City, has been training with Ruud van Nistelrooy's first team ByJordan Blackwell 08:00, 2 APR 2025 Fifteen-year-old starlet Jeremy Monga can make an impact for Leicester City in the short term – but manager Ruud van Nistelrooy will resist calls for him to feature this season. Monga has emerged as one of the best young talents in the country over the past 12 months, with Wednesday's opponents Manchester City the favourites to win his signature. The winger has been a regular for the club’s under-21s and has trained alongside van Nistelrooy’s senior squad, earning a place on the bench for the FA Cup tie at Manchester United in February. With City in a desperate run of form in the Premier League, there have been calls from supporters for Monga to be given a first-team chance. That’s especially with the winger progressing at a significant rate. In the under-21s’ last outing, a 3-2 win over West Ham, Monga scored a terrific solo goal, dribbling through three men before finishing, while he also set up goals for Jake Evans and Josh King. But van Nistelrooy won’t be swayed. He’s been consistent in his stance that until Monga finishes school this summer and the restrictions on his training time are lifted, it is difficult for him to feature on matchdays. Monga turns 16 in July and from the summer he will be in the fold, the manager has insisted. “He’s developing really well and you can see how good he is,” van Nistelrooy said. “I also mentioned the situation still as a 15-year-old, with school, and with the possibility to have him around the team, it’s limited. There are more things to it. “We’re absolutely convinced he can have an impact on this club in the short term. “I don’t mean now, because that’s going to be difficult. But when he turns 16, then things are easier and for next season he will be a member (of the squad) there. That’s the process we’re in with him now.” While picking up points and trying to pull off a survival miracle is top of the agenda for City, van Nistelrooy is still looking to the future. He has said previously that he will stand by his contract and remain at the club in the event of relegation. That means assessing the academy players, seeing which of them could step up in the future, and tying them to contracts. He said: “We have to use every moment to plan tomorrow and today, of course, but also look further. “It's important to do that at the same time, and especially looking at young talents within the club and give them the chance. “Of course we’re monitoring him (Monga) closely. We want him to stay and sign. We’re in that process with him.” While City can offer Monga terms, he cannot sign a professional contract until he turns 17, which will be in July 2026.

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/breaking-leicester-city-announce-194m-10073736 Breaking: Leicester City announce £19.4m loss for 2023/24 and expect PSR discussions to continue Leicester City's accounts for the 2023/24 season have been published, a campaign where they had to reduce costs massively following their fall into the Championship ByJordan Blackwell 10:00, 2 APR 2025Updated11:27, 2 APR 2025 Leicester City expect continued discussions with the football authorities over profit and sustainability rules (PSR) after posting a loss of £19.4m for their Championship-winning season. City’s accounts for the 2023/24 campaign have been published, showing the club have made a loss for a sixth straight season. But the extent of the loss is considerably reduced compared to the previous two years, with City in the red to the tune of £92.5m in 2021/22 and £89.7m in 2022/23. The Premier League announced in January that none of their clubs were to be charged with a breach of PSR for the three-year period ending with 2023/24, but added that City remained at risk pending the outcome of a legal case. Last September, it was announced that Leicester had successfully appealed against a charge for the three-year period ending with 2022/23, arguing that the Premier League’s rules did not apply to them after relegation. The Premier League are appealing against that decision. Now, City have said they expect discussions with the Premier League and EFL to continue but would not speculate on what a potential sanction may look like. Their accounts read: “The club has been involved in certain regulatory proceedings with the Premier League and the EFL in relation to the extent to which their respective P&S (Profit and Sustainability) rules apply to the club, in the specific circumstances of the club’s relegation to the EFL Championship and its immediate promotion back to the Premier League. “The club expects that it will continue to discuss such P&S rules with the relevant football regulators. If the club was ultimately found to have failed to achieve compliance with any P&S rules which were held to be applicable to the club in its specific circumstances then there would be a risk of sanction by the relevant governing body, but at the current time it is impracticable to estimate the likely impact of any such sanction.” City helped their bid to meet PSR for the three-year period ending with 2023/24 by selling players and dramatically reducing their wage bill to cope with the considerable drop in revenue in the Championship. They made £71.8m in player trading profits by selling Harvey Barnes to Newcastle, Timothy Castagne to Fulham and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea, the latter deal coming just before the June 30 Premier League accounting deadline in 2024. James Maddison’s sale to Tottenham, which came in the same summer as Barnes and Castagne’s exits, was factored into the previous accounts as that came prior to June 30, 2023. Partly because of relegation clauses in player contracts, City’s wage bill fell to £107.2m, down from £205.8m. The wage-to-turnover ratio remains above 100 per cent though - at 101.6 per cent, but down from 116 per cent the year before. It is estimated that the figure would have been around 90 per cent without the promotion bonuses earned by the squad and staff at the end of last season. Depending on the interpretation, City’s wage bill of £107.2m may be the biggest-ever in the Championship. There have been previous suggestions that Fulham, at £90m, hold the record, but Newcastle, in 2016/17, had a wage bill of £112.2m, although that was inflated by “onerous contract provisions”. The reason City are still above 100 per cent is because their turnover reduced massively in the Championship, with falling broadcast and sponsorship payments meaning they made £105.3m, down from £177.3m the year before. However, revenue from gate receipts remained the same, with City fans still packing out the King Power Stadium in the Championship. While they made considerable profits on player trading, City did also bolster their squad in the summer of 2023 with an outlay of £61.5m on player registrations, with Harry Winks, Conor Coady, Mads Hermansen, Stephy Mavididi, and Tom Cannon all joining the club. In these accounts, City's total debt stands at £206m, up from £179m the year before. However, it does not include the debt-to-equity transfer made by chairman Aiyawatt 'Top' Srivaddhanaprabha in January of this year, which converted all of the debt owed to King Power or the chairman himself into shares, effectively writing off £124m of that £206m. In a statement, chief executive Susan Whelan said: “Operating outside of the Premier League during the 2023/24 season required some obvious adjustments compared with previous years. “However, we achieved success on the pitch and attained promotion and the Championship title at the end of the season. “As a club, we still have work to do to return to the consistent heights of the last 15 years and the ability to successfully adapt to different challenges is a strength we will rely on as we build for future seasons. “Thank you to our supporters, staff and partners for the vital roles they play in the club’s development, for the loyalty they continually demonstrate and for the passion that will fuel our future progress.”

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/inside-king-power-stadium-owners-10072002 By Jordan Blackwell Who has impressed recently With City not in action over the weekend, there would have been plenty of eyes on Will Alves as he started for Cardiff against Sheffield Wednesday. And the teenager again managed to make his mark, getting his third assist of his Cardiff loan spell, running down the left wing before cutting inside and laying the ball off to Isaak Davies, who found the bottom corner in the 1-1 draw. Alves earned a 7 from WalesOnline who said the 19-year-old “really took the game to the Wednesday defenders and formed a good partnership with (Callum) O'Dowda on the left.” Moment missed Van Nistelrooy called up plenty of the Under-21s to his first-team squad over the international break to fill in the gaps left by those who were away with their nations. But it seems one man may have stuck around for a little longer. Footage from the club’s training sessions at Seagrave suggested full-back Bade Aluko remained with the first team. Promoted out of the Under-18s earlier this season, Aluko has started at left-back in all of the Under-21s’ five-game winning streak in Premier League 2. The 18-year-old already looks the part, and is tall for a full-back, while he appears to carry the ball well too, a surge forward from the back helping to set up Jake Evans’ goal against West Ham last time out. There are plenty of players to watch at the moment, and Aluko looks to be another.

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/inside-king-power-stadium-owners-10072002 By Jordan Blackwell Positive review over King Power’s OH Leuven ownership City’s financial accounts for last season are due imminently, but they have just been released over in Belgium, where King Power own OH Leuven. Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad have undertaken an analysis of each side’s finances and King Power’s running of Leuven appears healthy enough. The club made a loss of €14.6m for the 23-24 season. They had a ‘squad spend ratio’ – wages paid to players and coaching staff compared to the net income of the club – of 88 per cent, satisfying the Belgian Pro League’s maximum limit of 90 per cent. However, that will need to come down. By the 25-26 season, the Pro League want that figure to be 70 per cent or less. The report notes that King Power are looking into how they can improve both OH Leuven’s stadium and training ground, although it appears those considerations are in the early stages at the moment. Asked for an assessment of King Power’s running of OH Leuven, Wim Lagae, a sports economics professor at KU Leuven, Belgium’s biggest university, said: “I would say: thanks to King Power. Since 2023, they have invested no less than 63 million euros in capital increases. “There is a sustainability element: I also hear that King Power says that they will continue to invest even in the event of relegation. You can feel that in the relevant investments. “Women's football is a spearhead here. At OHL they think: we may not be the best in the men's category, but we could be the best in the women's category. “You also see it in other small things that are being worked on, such as their investments in the greenkeeper and the grass pitch. “OH Leuven is also increasingly succeeding in increasing their income on non-match days, for example by renting to companies or as a home base for the Red Flames (Belgium’s women’s national team). “Together with Westerlo, OH Leuven belongs to the group of clubs where the owners really pump money.”
