That’s according to Vamos Mi Sevilla, who cover information from journalist Fernando Serrano, who insists Orta is pushing to get Ndidi on a free transfer. They explain that the midfield is one of the most important positions being looked at by Sevilla in the summer and while they want to sign Soumare, who is currently on loan at the club from Leicester, his €15m purchase clause is too high. Thus, Victor Orta has instead turned his attention to another player at the club and is ‘going to go after’ Ndidi instead. That’s because he’s set to be available on a free transfer in the summer after making a decision not to sign a new deal with Leicester. He’s been having a great season in the Championship with them this year and Orta is now ‘pushing’ to get him signed to a deal ahead of potential competition. Whether he will be successful in that attempt remains to be seen, with Ndidi surely set to have numerous suitors, but it seems he will be attempting to win the race in the coming months.

Wasn't meant as another discussion just to save people who haven't kept up with the details a chance to see it laid out in a simple way.

Leicester Mercury local history and nostalgia · Hello, this is Leicester 412. Could you put me through to Market Harborough 79? This is the Leicester telephone exchange, back in the days when phoning was much more complicated – except of course for the phone numbers (fewer phones, you see). This is how you telephoned someone in those days: You would ring the local telephone exchange, where an operator would see a light flash, “plug you in” and switch on their headset before asking “number please?” Depending on your answer, they would then put you straight through if your call was local, or forward you to another exchange if your call was long-distance. In the early 20th Century, it could easily take 15 minutes on a long-distance call before the operator could say “connecting you now”. This telephone exchange was in Rutland Street, Leicester. The year is about 1912.

More info A dispute between Leicester City and the EFL has been ruled in the club’s favour, but that is far from the end of the matter and hides a bigger story. Statements posted on Wednesday revealed that a hearing took place in January after City argued it was against the EFL’s own rules for the league to force the club to submit a financial business plan, explaining how they would keep costs down and avoid a breach of Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). A panel said City were right and the EFL were wrong. However, it remains the case that City could break the regulations and be subjected to sanctions. They have until the end of June to get their finances into order. Here’s a rundown of the key matters, what happens next, and when that will happen. Back in November, the EFL’s Club Financial Reporting Unit (CFRU) suspected City were on course to breach PSR for the 23-24 season. As such, they requested a business plan from the club about how they would stay within the guidelines. A business plan is supposed to outline player sales, wage reductions, and potential uplifts in revenue, all with the intention of balancing the books. If the EFL are not satisfied with a club’s business plan, they can place them under transfer embargo. However, City argued that it was against the EFL’s rules and the CFRU’s jurisdiction to ask for a business plan at the time they did. They responded in December, and a hearing was called for January. At the hearing, City argued the EFL’s rules state that City only need to submit future financial information and a projection of their end-of-season accounts by the end of March. As a result, the EFL should not be allowed to make an assessment of their finances until after that date. The CFRU argued that City’s interpretation was “inappropriately technical” and “inconsistent with the underlying duty on the club to cooperate with the EFL”. They said that if the rules are how City interpret them, it would lead to inequality between clubs. The CFRU are able to make assessments on 18 Championship clubs from the start of the season based on PSR calculations they submitted the previous March, which in this case is March 2023. But for the six clubs who were either relegated or promoted into the division this season, they wouldn’t be able to make assessments of them until March 2024. They were not Championship clubs in March 2023 and so can’t be judged on finances from those periods. Ultimately, the independent panel ruled in City’s favour and said the CFRU did not have the power to request a business plan when they did. It was not the case that City exploited a loophole. Merely, they interpreted the rules in a way that the independent panel deemed reasonable. Now, the EFL are seeking to rewrite their rules to avoid other clubs interpreting them the way City have. What does all this mean for City? This dispute is not the big story. The big news is that the EFL believes City are on course to breach PSR rules this season and that could lead to sanctions. This is not something City deny. In the report of the hearing, it says: “The CFRU submitted that relevant context is that LCFC has not disputed that it is forecast to breach the upper threshold in the 2023-24 season and that this is a serious matter.” What do City need to do now? It means they have three months to get their finances in shape so that they do not breach PSR. City’s financial year runs until June 30, so that is their cut-off date. They are allowed to have lost £83m in the three years up to the end of the 2023-24 season. That includes allowable losses of £35m per each campaign they were in the Premier League, covering 21-22 and 22-23, and then allowable losses of £13m for their year in the Championship, 23-24. So far, the finances for only one of those three seasons have been made public. City made losses of £92.5m in 21-22. Because of the risks of breaching PSR rules for 23-24 season, City are going to have to take action in the next three months. There are ways to raise finances, such as through FA Cup progression, or through sponsorship deals, which are more likely to come about if City are promoted to the Premier League. However, possibly the easiest way to raise finances is through selling players. City will have only the first month of the transfer window to do it though, as those sales will need to be completed before June 30. Are there any other problems? Yes. As things stand, City are actually at risk of two breaches, and they could come with two separate punishments. Because the finances for the 22-23 season have not yet been made public, it is still not clear if City are within PSR for the three years up to June 2023. Over the previous two campaigns, City lost a combined £120.5m, and so would need to make a profit of more than £20m to be under the allowable losses of £105m. However, within that, some spending is not factored in, such as that for infrastructure or on the academy. So City’s three-year losses may exceed £105m but they could be within the threshold and avoid punishment. What are the punishments? As seen with Everton, breaches can be punished with points deductions. The issue for City is what happens if they breach PSR this season but get promoted. Technically, City would have breached EFL rules, but will be a Premier League club, so it will require the two organisations to come together to determine a punishment. If City have breached PSR for the three years up to the end of 22-23, a points deduction for when they're next in the Premier League is the likely outcome. If they go up this year, that could mean starting next season on minus points. When will there be clarity? There will be some clarity at the end of this month when City release their finances for the 22-23 campaign. It will then be known if City have breached PSR for the three years up to June 2023, and it will provide more information as to what they must do to avoid breaching PSR for the three years up to June 2024. What else is there to be considered? If it’s not messy enough already, there is still the issue with Everton and Nottingham Forest. Both clubs have been charged with breaching PSR for the three years up to the end of the 22-23 season, the campaign in which they finished just above City and avoided relegation. If City did not breach the rules for that season, and the teams who finished directly above them are found guilty of doing so, they may feel they have a compensation claim. A decision over Everton and Forest is due by May 24 at the latest.

As I see it Enzo has a 3 year plan to develop us into his style of play which many top teams seem to be doing in their own way and fans are getting impatient, concerned and frustrated over a few negative results Pearson on the other hand who likes to build a team over a period of time with the right players often losing many games as he tries to perfect it is renowned and praised by so many LCFC fans. Incidentally our recent negative results have coincided with the absence of at least 1 more of our 3 best players for this system, Ricardo, Vestergaard and Ndidi. Ndidi and Casadei's absence has had a big impact on our ability to attack and defend down the middle whist causing a level of fatigue due to few options to rotate.

Aye, I was shouting at the screen as much as anyone. I was just jesting after reading the thread and people's strong views on it one way or the other. I was more annoyed at his continuous stopping of play and time wasting officialdom.

It seems consistency is an impossible ideal when the fans of the same club can't agree on a penalty.

From the Merc Jordan Blackwell Heskey spoils party for City kids City’s under-18s played their Premier League Cup semi-final over the weekend, and all was going well at half-time. Adam Barradell’s youngsters were a goal up against Manchester City, Tommy Neale getting on the scoresheet. But they could not hang on. Man City equalised in the second half to send the game to extra-time, and it was then a familiar name spoiling the party. Jayden Heskey, son of Emile, scored the equaliser for Man City. In extra-time, the visitors to Seagrave scored twice more to win 3-1 and set up a final against Manchester United. equalised in the second half to send the game to extra-time, and it was then a familiar name spoiling the party.
