It’s not been done since we got up. Literally the last statement Top made is about sustainability.... as it is every year. A bit off topic, but I just want to say that personally I think it's good that Top doesn't just throw money at the club. Man City won 6-0 today, but it's IMO a hollow victory. Pay the best coach the most money and bankroll him with the best players money can buy = win trophies. That could be any club in the world and any city. Our title win was one of the best moments in the history of all sports because of the way we did it. I am loving the new club strategy and seeing three academy graduates in Hamza, Barnes and Chilwell on the pitch at the same time as we tonked Arsenal 3-0 made me just so, so happy to see. When Barnes scored his first Leicester goal he went mental and I know that Hamza will be the same. That means a lot to me to see actual LCFC fans out representing us. I do think Top will reach into his bank balance at some point, because let's not forget that Vichai paid off all of LCFC's debts as soon as they brought the club. So there is a precedent for it happening as it's been done before. But I am fine with it not being done as long as the club reinvests profits back into the team and infrastructure to improve. And so far they have done it every year! 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 18 May 2019 Share Posted 18 May 2019 wonder if we are holding on because he has a relegation release clause? set fee if so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's say there was a deal in place to pay Monaco X amount of money plus Adrien Silva for Tielemans, Monaco would probably only agree to the purchase of Silva as long as they stay up. If they get relegated they wouldn't be able to afford his wages and so he'd come out of the deal and we'd probably have to pay more as a result. So that could be a potential reason for a delay, as well as the French season not being over yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Suzie the Fox Posted 18 May 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 18 May 2019 I watched the Monaco game tonight (albeit with French commentators) and it looks like they are safe from relegation, thankfully. I just hope to god they want to keep Adrian, because based on tonight's performance there is just no way he will cut it in the EPL. I feel bad for saying that and i had such high hopes for him but i just dont see it... no way he will cut it for LCFC next season and i struggle to think of any other PL club he would fit in either with his style of play My opinion ofc. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on Suzie. He's just far too lightweight for the EPL, that was obvious from day one really. Complete waste of time him coming back and not fair on him either as he's already lost a chunk of his playing career with the 14secgate fiasco. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d prefer we didn’t spiral into huge debts chasing a pipe dream. But every single summer i’m left having the same discussions when people think we are going to suddenly chuck a fortune at it, (which ultimately means them putting money in through shady sponsorship or the like) when there has been no signs of us doing so for about 6 years and all they ever talk about is basically standing on our own two feet. That’s not to say at some point they might decide the time is right for another investment. But it shouldn’t be taken as a given, which people seem to expect each summer. Slagging the club off for perhaps walking away from £40m+ on one player etc. Edited 19 May 2019 by Babylon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Albans Fox does make a good point about the profits we made in recent years and how that could be used in future years as a surplus, I assume that's possible with FFP but I may now be contradicting myself and not knowing the basic principles of FFP!! ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to give it another read, the prem’ ones are simple enough. The UEFA ones are a bit more complex and changing yearly in terms of allowable losses. There is scope there to make an investment, but you are still pretty limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the BBC In its current format, in the PL clubs cannot make a loss in excess of £105m across three seasons, not including infrastructure improvement costs. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47501423 Bearing in mind we have had a net spend of about £25-£30m in each of the last three seasons and still managed to report a pre tax profit. So if the owner what to go big, there is room to do so, spending 100m net would probably see us lose around 70 million that season and would have in comparison to this season put us in the top 2 spenders.

Fox85 Posted 19 May 2019 Share Posted 19 May 2019 If we are able to sign this lad. You can almost guarantee more big names will want to play for Leicester. Zyech would not be impossible either.

Rob Tanner said a few weeks ago in his Q&A that FFP is not an issue for Leicester City or any Premier League club aside from Man City, where even then it is more complex than simply balancing the books. 40 million for a player, according to Tanner, will not affect FFP, even if we sell no one.

CosbehFox Posted 19 May 2019 Share Posted 19 May 2019 You have to separate the reasoning why Man City are being investigated. If you took their figures at face value, there’s no problem. It’s related to the football links articles and how it appears the money is sourced via sponsors of same ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
