They have just offered him a new contract. Providing he doesn’t have a glove puppet carry out the negotiation it will be significantly good terms. There is another club interested, they want him to stay, they are not going to offer a bag of skittles... And as for the tax comment. Diddums. We all have to pay tax. Tax on several million pounds, is still tax on more money than most people will make in a lifetime. I’m not debating whether he ‘may’ make more money elsewhere. I am simply dispelling this silly myth that he is doing it because his family will be impoverished if he doesn’t get a move. That is utter nonsense. He will probably have more money in his bank account than the members of this forum combined... and change. His outburst was pathetic. If he was our player we would be rightly panning him for his unprofessional approach. Let’s not put the blinkers on just because he wants to sign for Leicester. Caveat emptor. He will do the same to us... also by the sounds of things he will need changing several times a day.

Not if he signs a long term contract. Let’s say he earned ‘only’ 15k a week. If he signed a 3 year deal that is guaranteed 2.3million. That is more than most people will make in a lifetime. Does his family have a gambling problem? Honestly, he can cut the ‘my family, my family’ shit.

I’m pretty sure he can make an exceptional living where he is. It’s not like they are paying him in baguettes and smelly cheese.

£50m. Put the infected beef down. £50m. That’s funny.

Claude:

Last season King Power paid a pitifully small amount in sponsorship. King Power/Thai tourist board should be paying considerably more to sponsor a team playing European football.

How many members do we have? Any surplus will be very quickly snapped up I should imagine.

Not needed. Why waste money on someone who is not needed.

We will. It won’t be overnight. The structure of the club is changing. Elite facilities and a larger ground. We are going to keep building a profile and fan base and with the support of our owners there is no reason why we can’t kick on. I’m sure Man City’s fans never thought they would amount to much when Dickov was firing them out of league 1.

We seem to be a selling club going steadily backwards.

Some unbelievably arrogant views on this thread.

Companies do this all the time.

Well I applaud Bielsa’s tenacity but we haven’t moved in yet.

If there is going to be any announcement relating to the stadium it will be relating to plans that are pending or prepared and that an application will be shortly made. What then follows is a long and winding road of consultation, assessment, recommendations and decisions/appeals etc.

Last application that was filed...

Nothing realistically will happen for a long time yet. The club will need planning permission.

Our own accounts filed in Feb tell us specifically that he will be judged on an almost constant basis...

Jermaine Defoe had already scored nearly 100 goals for spurs and was prolific everywhere he went. I’m not sure it’s a measure of his skill. Edouard fair enough, but without wanting to be too rude he is playing for Celtic in a league where the standard is pretty poor. He joined us in May last year. So far we have Bennett to measure his success by. Meanwhile Sunderland fans say his tenure with them was a disaster, and Celtic fans are delighted he has gone. I’m not an optimist about this one.

No one at Celtic or Sunderland have a pleasant thing to say.

It’s not how much we have to spend that really matters. It’s how we spend it. Congerton could easily spend significant sums on utter shite.

I doubt that he and his legal advisors are mentally ill.

Exceptional post.

How many do you think in our dressing room will use this as a motivation? How many do you think will do something like this? I don’t think many.

If you are a decent player and you come for a tour of our facilities, do you think you might feel it would be the type of place you might want to try to improve and develop as a player? having the best facilities can only help improve what we have and undoubtedly will attract better players.
