Do any of these restaurants have piles of litter and left over food lying around outside if not they're not what's making Leicester a dump.

I've been going since the early/mid 60s and had a ST since the Carling Stand (not bragging) but there's no way I'd be going if I didn't have ST, for a start I wouldn't be paying for a membership, on principle for the privilege of buying tickets.

I think you lot need a Best Indian Eating Out Thread.

They got the pricing right for the current size and it’s too expensive for most any increase in size must include some affordable ticketing as well as their expensive executive stuff

If it happened in the men’s game it would mean teams like LCFC would spend more time in the championship

I’m sure we, well some people benefited from it but not the way it was sold to the general public

I remember when they discovered North Sea oil we were told our domestic energy cost would be nearly zero 😂

I don't know what you lot are viewing but this is what I get on my PC with adblock

They have the money to do it (subsidise it) with all their natural resources

That's not a valid reason for ours to be a shithole. I don't think the number of pubs, entertainment or decent shops makes a city a shithole, more interesting and worth visiting sure it's more to do with the general tidiness and scrappy facades. Of course the general public doesn't help dropping litter and chewing gum anywhere but in the nearest bin or take it home with them. Owners of closed shops should be compelled by the Council to at least make them tidy. As a lot of the 'at risks' buildings are owned by the Council I wont hold my breath on that.

No! It's just a way of opening the gate to allow the men's team into English football. Nikki Doucet is the chief executive officer of that company and is hoping the addition of the Women's Old Firm side can expand the women’s game. It you want to do that level the playing field to allow any expansion to be competitive.

There was some from Leicester

I only watch the odd one or two as having worked in industry I have a lingering interest in mass production

Looks like it’s in Lincoln

Stefan Borson says Premier League unlikely to win appeal against Leicester Speaking on talkSPORT on Monday afternoon, Stefan Borson explained that the Premier League are unlikely to win their appeal against Leicester. “I don’t think the Premier League should be appealing an appeal,” Borson said. “The Premier League are now going back and saying we are going to appeal the appeal and the basis on which you can appeal an appeal is such a tiny window, it could not reasonably have been decided by anybody. “What I’m saying is the Premier League have got to show that this is so outlandish, that decision by the appeal that found in favour of Leicester, so outlandish that nobody else could possibly have found it. “I just think that’s extremely unlikely.”

I started this thread in 2005 and I still think it's a dump, I don't care if other cities are worse that's the same argument some fans use re LCFC's treatment of fans with other clubs are worse.

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/leicester-city-79m-future-figure-9861113 Leicester City £79m future figure and what happens next after Premier League PSR escape Leicester have been deemed to be compliant with PSR by the Premier League Sport ByDave Powell 11:18, 14 JAN 2025 Leicester City have avoided a points deduction from the Premier League after being found to be compliant with profit and sustainability rules (PSR), but the club will now have its focus set on what the current financial year brings. The Premier League informed its member clubs that no breaches of PSR were found after assessment and no clubs would face the threat of a points deduction, the likes of which were seen by Everton, twice, and Nottingham Forest last season. Leicester remain at risk, however, with the Foxes and the Premier League both engaged in arbitration over an issue that centres on the 2022/23 financial year, an accounting period that saw Leicester move the financial year end, something permissible by law, thus the club had already relinquished its Premier League membership by the time that the PSR punishment was handed down. The Foxes won a legal case on the basis that the Premier League did not have jurisdiction. The details of the arbitration process remain confidential, but the Foxes remain confident in their position having been able to pick holes in the Premier League’s legislation, something that left the Premier League with a bloody nose and some significant embarrassment. But what does the future look like for the Foxes? The aim of PSR is, essentially, to ensure financial prudence and that clubs operate within their means in a sustainable manner. Clubs are permitted to lose £105m over a rolling three-year assessment period, with allowable deductions for such things as investment into infrastructure, investment into the academy and the women’s team, and money spent on community initiatives. Losses attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic were also permitted. Football finance expert Swiss Ramble had predicted that, while Leicester would make a small £5m loss for the 2023/24 financial year, giving them a net positive PSR position of £17m for the year, the club would be at £95m for PSR. While that would be compliant by £10m had the Foxes not been in the Championship for a season, where the allowable loss is £13m and not £35m for a season, the projection was a £12m PSR overshoot. One explanation for the club being compliant could well be that the legal team managed to successfully argue a case that the club would be able to claim the full £35m for the year instead of the £13m, thus allowing them to remain compliant. There could have also been sales of tangible assets that were not accounted for in projections. Looking ahead to what the final three-year cycle might look like before the shift to a squad cost ratio method, in line with what UEFA have in place, football finance expert Swiss Ramble has Leicester being able to make a loss of as much as £79m in the current 2024/25 financial year. The main reason for that is that the heavy £92m loss from 2021/22 drops off the three-year assessment cycle, and that is impactful in terms of what the club can do. It is also based on the assumption that allowable deductions remain the same, which have been pegged at around £21m per season. Player trading and the return of Premier League broadcast money for the financial year should ensure that Leicester fall well below that figure and that they will have no concerns over PSR compliance for the final cycle before the move to new regulation. But with the spectre of the arbitration with the Premier League relating to 2022/23 hanging over them, while there will be confidence within the corridors of the King Power Stadium, complacency likely won’t be seen as the club wants to focus on getting itself onto a more sound financial footing, especially with the risk of relegation back to the Championship being a very real threat this season, which would be a significant blow in terms of finances for the club.

However, City's dispute is not over. The Premier League have announced that they are still locked in "confidential arbitration proceedings" over City's 22-23 accounts. An appeal board found in City's favour in September, ruling that the Premier League did not have the jurisdiction to charge them as they were not a member club at the end of the financial year, having been relegated to the Championship. That decision is being appealed by the Premier League. In a statement, the Premier League said: “Issues as to the jurisdiction of the Premier League over Leicester City Football Club in relation to PSR compliance are currently the subject of confidential arbitration proceeding

Clubs who had recorded losses for the first two seasons of the latest three-season cycle were required to submit their accounts for the year ending June 2024 to the Premier League by December 31 2024. Any clubs served with a complaint by the Premier League on Tuesday will have 14 days to respond. An independent commission will then hear the case during a 12-week period. That would also allow time for an appeal - if required - before the May 24 cut-off point at the end of the season. Both Everton and Nottingham Forest were charged last January with breaching Profit and Sustainability Rules [PSR], which dictate that clubs are in breach if they exceed the maximum permitted losses of £105m over three seasons, a figure which is reduced by £22m for any of those seasons spent outside the Premier League. Those charges were in relation to their 2022-23 accounts and were fully heard within the final months of last season under the league's 'standard directions' for PSR breaches, with Everton docked two points and Forest four. Everton had also been docked 10 points in November 2023 for a PSR breach for the period ending with their 2021-22 accounts, a sanction which was reduced to six points on appeal last February. Investment in infrastructure, academies, charity foundations and women's football are all items which can be treated as 'add backs' in a club's PSR calculation and do not count towards the £105m loss figure.
