It's all about behaviour the more boys there are the more likely they'll get into trouble. We were never allowed to go out in more than 2s so had to plan to meet up and yeah we did get into more trouble.

One boy equals one boy Two boys equals half a boy Three boys equals no boy at all.

Premier League champions 10 years ago, Leicester are facing the prospect of relegation to League One for only the second time in their history. Leicester’s first-team players will receive automatic pay cuts in the event of a second successive relegation, with salaries further reduced. Sales will be likely regardless of which division Leicester operate in next season, with Ghana international Abdul Fatawu expected to be the most coveted player. Financial accounts reported today are from 2024-25, when they were in the Premier League, and the losses are attributed to the costs associated with competing at that level. Leicester were deducted six points earlier this year by the Football League for breaching financial regulations, with an appeal hearing soon. Despite today’s figures the club is confident of avoiding further punishment and is compliant with Profitability and Sustainability Rules (P&S). The accounts do not include the sales of Mads Hermansen (£15m to West Ham), Kasey McAteer (£12m to Ipswich) and James Justin (£8m to Leeds) as they were completed after June 30 2025. Leicester are also assured of around £18.6m from VfB Stuttgart for the permanent signing of Bilal El Khannouss, who joined on an initial loan last year. Leicester say that improving their financial position is “a priority” and have appointed Kevin Davies, the club’s former finance director, as their new chief executive. When the Championship club were deducted six points in February, it emerged that they avoided a harsher sanction as the independent commission accepted a “clear downtrend in losses”. Leicester have appealed against the initial decision, with a hearing expected in the next few weeks. There is the threat of another point being added, after the Premier League appealed against the decision not to sanction Leicester for filing their accounts late. On the field, Leicester are locked in a grim relegation battle. While there are financial provisions in place for League One, it would still represent a stunning fall from grace. Ten years ago they secured one of the most memorable sporting triumphs in football history as the 5,000-1 shots who pulled off a footballing miracle. Leicester are third bottom and one point adrift of safety. They return to Championship action at home against Preston on April 3. Gary Rowett was appointed as head coach in February and has drawn four of his seven matches in charge, losing two of them. Leicester had not managed a clean sheet since September before his arrival but have now secured two shut-outs in the last three matches. Rowett has been direct and clear in his approach, simplifying tactics, and offering a clean slate to players previously frozen out by his predecessor Marti Cifuentes. Jannik Vestergaard, Asmir Begovic, Aaron Ramsey and Harry Souttar will all be available following the international break after injuries. Wales international Jordan James is having a scan after being taken off in the World Cup play-off semi-final against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Thursday night, but the initial diagnosis is not thought to be serious. Despite the clear improvement in performance, Leicester remain in trouble. It appears to be a straight fight between Leicester, Oxford, Portsmouth, West Brom and Blackburn over who joins Sheffield Wednesday in the third tier next season. If Leicester can secure Championship survival, major changes are expected over the summer. Leicester’s model is to sell a ‘star player’ every year and they will maintain that stance. Fatawu is admired by a number of Premier League clubs and promotion contenders in the Championship. Patson Daka is due to leave when his contract expires in June, so Leicester will look to sign two new strikers. A new No 1 goalkeeper and full-backs are also on the list, along with a replacement for Fatawu if he is sold. Leicester have a new football structure and recently appointed James McCarron as their new sporting director. He will work closely with recruitment chief Martyn Glover on player identification, data and analytics, sports science and the academy. McCarron will report into Jon Rudkin, the chief football officer, which has angered fans demanding change. King Power, the club’s owner, remain under serious scrutiny from disillusioned supporters and relegation will only heighten calls for them to step down. These final seven matches will rank among the most crucial in Leicester’s history.

A man says he deliberately paid a parking fine because it was cheaper than paying to use a city centre multi-storey car park. Dominic McGregor, who commuted from his Cheshire home to a business conference, was shocked at the "extortionate" £35 parking fee to stay for over six hours in an NCP car park in Spinningfields, Manchester. On-street parking in Manchester is limited to two hours, with a £50 fine for going over that, or £25 if paid within 14 days - £10 less than NCP's charge.

Remember it well Mary Rand, the first British woman to win an Olympic gold medal in athletics, has died at the age of 86. Rand secured the long jump title at the Tokyo Games in 1964, also winning silver in the inaugural women's pentathlon and bronze in the 4x100m relay. That meant she also became the first British woman to win gold, silver and bronze at a single Olympic Games.
