...or arms. Plus allowing them to use up the out of date stuff.

Fierce rivals??? If the fans of these clubs had any idea how utterly despicable their owners actually are, they might begin to look at the bigger picture more even-handedly. After all, it's their clubs suffering the consequences of wealth building owners while CFG prioritises it's profits on club investment and development. This photo was taken in a New York restaurant three days before a Premier League vote... How many other of these shady overseas meetings have took place over the years, and to what impact on the League in which their clubs compete? What is the scale of influence these people have on the likes of Richard Masters, who in 2019 United and Liverpool were given special access to vet prior to his appointment as Premier League CEO.... ? Perhaps they happen to be mates outside of work and they are just having a catch up? Or perhaps anyone who believes that should contact me about a seafront property I have available in Birmingham...

Goalkeeper banner Mads Hermansen (Leicester City): I know he was on the losing team but he made five world-class saves that kept Leicester in the game against Arsenal and gave them a chance of taking something from it. Honestly, it was one of the best performances I've seen from a goalkeeper on a losing team in my life. Defenders banner James Justin (Leicester City): I don't remember him having much to do defensively, with all the troubles coming down Arsenal's right. He then popped in the second half with a decent header for his first goal, while the volley he hit to equalise was unbelievable. So much could've gone wrong with that but the technique was excellent.

Then by the time they get some minutes they are so out of match fitness etc, which is tough enough if you're a seasoned pro and put in a less than an acceptable performance and then finding it difficult to get another chance as even some fans will be moaning why they are playing.

Two home successes last week means it’s three wins on the spin for the development squad. While that may not sound significant, it’s their longest winning run for two-and-a-half years, since April 2022. They scored seven goals in the process too, beating Middlesbrough 3-1 and then Stoke 4-0. Against Boro, 17-year-old striker Josh King scored a brace for his first goals for City at under-21 level in just his second start, and interim boss Leon McSweeney is keen to give him more opportunities to impress. McSweeney told the club: “In front of goal he’s a hotshot and we want to maximise that as much as we can, give him as much exposure to 21s football because he can do that on a regular basis. It’s important to get him minutes, and when he responds like that, it’s only going to get him more time on the pitch.” In the thrashing of Stoke, in which City were 4-0 up before half-time, hot prospect Jake Evans was at the double for his first Premier League 2 goals, the 16-year-old adding to the winner he scored in the Premier League Cup victory at Hull that kicked off this winning run. Last week’s two victories mean City are now eighth of 26 in the Premier League 2 standings. They’ll hope to rise even higher this Friday when they head to bottom-of-the-table Blackburn, who have lost all of their fixtures so far. There were no appearances for another of City’s leading prospects, 2009-born Jeremy Monga, last week though, as he was away representing England Under-16s. He scored one and set up another in a 3-0 win over Ukraine.

Great stuff and well done on getting to £1k.

KP own the stadium LCFC obviously get the proceeds from it's use, the rest is supposition.

https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/plymouth-argyle-ian-holloway-leicester-city-view/ Plymouth Argyle had the last laugh after Ian Holloway, Leicester City controversy: View By Adam Le Roux Ian Holloway might have been one of the most loved men in football during his heyday, but in the green half of Devon he turned out to be public enemy number one. While there will be those who roll about laughing over his quips about badgers, teabags and whatever else that pops into his mind, there was nothing funny about the way the Bristolian left Plymouth Argyle to join Leicester City in 2007. With the Pilgrims seemingly on the cusp of something special, the decision to jump ship for the Foxes is still something that wrangles the Green Army to this day, with ‘Hollowords’ unlikely to be a guest of honour at Home Park anytime soon. But it was the Greens who had the last laugh during that 07/08 season, as they contributed to his new employers’ demise into the third tier, and seemingly loved every moment as their old boss could only watch on in despair. Ian Holloway leaves Plymouth Argyle for Leicester City It all happened in the blink of an eye; one second Ian Holloway is waxing lyrical about Argyle and the aspirations for the football club, the next he is shaking hands with Milan Mandaric at the King Power Stadium after agreeing a three-and-a-half-year deal with the Foxes. In a similar way to how the Pilgrims have been stung recently with both Ryan Lowe and Steven Schumacher, those at Home Park had bought into their boss’s rousing speeches and enthusiasm for all things green, and thought they had something special brewing in Devon, only for it all to be pulled out from under their feet. The Greens were playing some of the finest football in their history during the Holloway era, with a never-say-die attitude and a wealth of talent at their disposal, with genuine ambitions of trying to break into the top six of the Championship before too long. But within days the jubilant feeling around the place had turned into despair, and outright hatred, as Holloway switched the South West for the Midlands, leaving Argyle in the lurch as he supposedly went on to bigger and better things. Speaking at the time, Holloway said to the club's official channels at his unveiling: “Once you make a decision in life it has to be from the heart. I just felt that I couldn't turn this down. I can't wait to get started. "I have met the lads down the training ground I have told them all about how I feel and what I expect. Hopefully, in the weeks to come, people will understand and get to know me. Ian Holloway Leicester City managerial record (Transfermarkt) Matches 32 Wins 9 Draws 8 Defeats 15 Win % 28.1% "I am going to be so enthusiastic because I love everyday of my life. This is a whole new challenge, which throws me into a whole new ballpark. I feel like I have been acting in Coronation Street all my life and now I’m in King Lear." While the boss may have thought he was about to take to the biggest stage, the only show Holloway was about to be part of was the Leicester City pantomime, in which he was to have a central role. Ian Holloway fails after Leicester City switch, and Plymouth Argyle revel in his misery While Argyle welcomed back club legend Paul Sturrock into the dugout with open arms, Holloway struggled to get to grips with life in his new role, as the Foxes fiasco continued to unravel. A win in his opening match in charge against Bristol proved to be a false dawn, with no victory to come for the next seven league games, as City stated to circle the drain as Christmas came around. The sight of their former boss failing to turn the ship around was only too pleasing for Argyle fans, who travelled up to the Midlands with a vengeance in the following February, as they faced their old boss for the first time. Ian Holloway The shirts may have been green, but the air was blue inside the away end of the King Power that day, as the travelling Green Army made their opinions heard in no uncertain terms, with Holloway receiving both barrels from those who had travelled from Devon. By that point in his tenure, he was probably receiving it from the home fans as well, with just four of his 15 league matches ending in victory before then, with the threat of League One coming ever larger by the day. And how Argyle celebrated as Peter Halmosi rifled one in just after the half-hour to put them in the lead, with their former boss only watching on and wondering what might have been if he had stayed put, instead of chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. A 1-0 victory had never tasted much sweeter, with the travelling Greens heading home happy, knowing they had got one over on their old foe, with Leicester’s plight looking more worrying by the day. David Norris Plymouth Argyle With form failing to materialise before the end of the season, the Foxes were fighting for their life at the bottom of the table, with a draw with Stoke City on the final day not enough to rescue them from the drop, as they tumbled into the third tier for the first time in their history. With just one point the difference between staying up or going down, Argyle will have taken great solace in the fact they played their part in seeing their old boss get his just desserts, with justice served in the best possible way.

KP own the stadium but LCFC get the proceeds from it presumably after paying some sort of rent which could be just a peppercorn one, I'd imagine the rest of the expansion will be the same. Info - The term “peppercorn rent” might conjure images of paying rent in actual peppercorns, but in reality, it symbolises a nominal or token payment. Peppercorn rent is essentially a small, symbolic rent amount, often as little as one peppercorn per year. It’s not intended to generate income for the landlord but rather to fulfil legal requirements to complete a lease agreement.

Arsenal’s tally of 17 shots on target is just two shy of the total City have had across their six fixtures so far

Rubbish we’re not going to get 33 draws.

Surely Califori should have had a 2nd yellow?

What’s Ayew’s purpose?

Why do we bother anymore? Sell the KP site play all games as KPFC at Seagrave with 499 elite guests with hotel facilities etc, we can then all watch the sick 6.

Today’s announcement follows lengthy consultations with a range of fans throughout the 2023/24 season to understand how we can create best-in-class experiences that contribute to creating a fantastic atmosphere on matchday. Only in our dreams.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Chelsea have reportedly held talks over leaving their iconic stadium Stamford Bridge and moving to Earl’s Court as they seek a resolution to their plans for a bigger stadium, with the current stadium “only” having seats for 40.343 fans. Increasing the stadium capacity is therefore a major priority for the owners, who have begun looking at a new site in west London due to the difficulty of redeveloping the current ground, according to The Guardian. 🔵 It’s said that the Chelsea owners are committed to maximising revenues by building one of the biggest and best stadiums in England, with The Blues currently having the 9th biggest stadium in the Premier League. 🏟️ This has proved to be a problem for the London club, who haven’t been able to compete with the other ‘big 6’ clubs, when it comes to stadium capacity. This becomes evident when looking at the club’s average attendance during the 2023/24, which was at 39.700, the 9th highest in England. Meanwhile, Manchester United had an average attendance of 73535, 82,23% bigger than that at Stamford Bridge. With that, Chelsea had an utilisation rate of 97.2%, leaving little room to grow the average attendance at Stamford Bridge. 💰 Despite this, Chelsea find themselves amongst the 10 clubs with the highest matchday revenue in the World, during the 2022/23 season. In fact, the Blues generated €88 million in matchday revenue. However, this number is still far short of their main competitors in the Premier League, with Manchester United, who also has the biggest stadium in the Premier League, racking in €156.9 million in revenue.

More appropriate.

We might need the money by then. Depends how we sit in the league as well. But I'm sure there's no truth in it.

https://www.teamtalk.com/news/ashworth-pondering-shock-united-january-move-for-former-tottenham-midfielder Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing midfielder Harry Winks, who has rebuilt his career at Leicester City after leaving Tottenham in the summer of 2023. The 28-year-old England international, who has won 10 caps for his country, has been a mainstay of the Foxes midfield since his £10million move to the King Power Stadium after Leicester were relegated during the 2022/23 campaign. Winks played a major role as the East Midlands outfit bounced straight back to the Premier League under Enzo Maresca, scoring twice in 48 appearances in all competitions. September is a New Start! Sign Up for MAN v FAT and Leave Summer Weight Behind The former Spurs man continues to be a key cog in Steve Cooper’s engine room after Maresca quit Leicester for Chelsea, although the pressure is mounting on the current Foxes boss after a tough start to the new season. For Winks though, his stock is back on the rise again and Spanish publication Fijaches suggests that United are weighing up a move for the player in January as Ten Hag is keen to bring in another midfielder. The Fijaches report claims that Ten Hag believes that Winks would be a great fit for the style of play at Old Trafford, while he would also be a relatively cheap option for sporting director Dan Ashworth to pursue. The midfielder’s current contract runs out in the summer of 2026 and although that means Leicester could push for a significant fee for his services, they are only likely to recoup what they paid. Winks does have the ability to play several different midfield roles and is as comfortable pushing forward as a No.10 as he is sitting in front of the defence as the midfield pivot. https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/man-utd/transfer-talk/news/casemiro-replacement-man-united-keen-on-former-tottenham-midfielder_553836.html?newsnow Manchester United are reportedly interested in Leicester City midfielder Harry Winks. The 28-year-old has enjoyed somewhat of a renaissance over the past 12 months since making the high-profile switch from Tottenham Hotspur to the Foxes on a permanent deal. Winks, who possesses too much talent to spend longer than a campaign in the Championship, helped Leicester to the second-tier title under Enzo Maresca last term. The former Spurs youngster continues to be an important cog in Steve Cooper's Foxes side, playing every single minute of his team's Premier League schedule to date. Despite Winks's best efforts from the base of midfield, Leicester are yet to enjoy their maiden victory of the league term, collecting three points from five top-flight matches so far.
