They both need a bit of confidence and that will surely help. It also shows they want to try and keep this team together and carry on their journey. I was replying to a post that said they don’t deserve a higher wage ........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester_Loyal Posted 12 April 2020 Share Posted 12 April 2020 Kante surplus to requirements at Chelsea according to The Sun. I would love him back here, but can't see how he would fit in with Ndidi. Be nice to play out the final 10 minutes of a game with both Kante and Ndidi on the pitch defending a lead though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite a few baubles at Chelsea he's wasted the best years Of his career. Easily good enough for one of the big boys. Why he chose them is a mystery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox_up_north Posted 12 April 2020 Share Posted 12 April 2020 Absolutely wasted at Chelsea. He made more of an impact in his short time here than he did with them. I doubt he'd come back here. Off to PSG or one of the Spanish clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest An Sionnach Posted 13 April 2020 Share Posted 13 April 2020 Mitrovic and Loftus-Cheekes would suit me both 6-3 and 190lbs . Teams like Atletico cannot be beaten by science alone , physicality is vital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I said that the other day. If they are furloughing staff as they dont have the money to pay staff then they cannot surely find millions to buy players. They should have a transfer ban! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesta2014 Posted 16 April 2020 Share Posted 16 April 2020 Hoping a knock on effect will be transfer fees decreasing because of lockdown etc. Could go either way I suppose, here’s hoping prices come down and we get a few bargains! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicesterseddon Posted 25 April 2020 Share Posted 25 April 2020 I think it’s difficult to calculate the financial hit to LCFC at the moment. If the season is completed behind closed doors in the summer, presumably we’ll get the TV money and at least some of the commercial revenue we’d expected. We’d lose matchday revenue for the remaining four home games (plus FA Cup, although that’s sort of a bonus anyway). I don’t know how much that is, but Norwich’s CFO says it’s £1.5m per game for them so let’s assume something similar for us, maybe a bit more. By giving STHs the option of refund/take it off next season’s ST, they may be able to spread the hit from this so it doesn’t come all in one go. Presumably they will still lose some other commercial/sponsorship revenue, I’ve no idea how much though. Without the TV money it’s a different calculation altogether, as it makes up such a big proportion of our revenue. In these circumstances it would be very difficult for us. But then that would be the same for almost all the league tbh. I’m assuming KP will be hit hard but difficult to say what that actually means for us really. As far as I can see KP is more exposed to us than the other way round, as they have loaned us money for the training ground. They were expecting repayment with interest over the next six years I believe, starting this year. Again, we are largely dependent on TV payments to make them. One potential risk is they pull the plug on stadium/shirt sponsorship - but pretty sure they won’t do that as would largely defeat the point of them owning the club? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 25 April 2020 Share Posted 25 April 2020 As far as our 2019/20 budget is concerned, if we take 3rd/4th place prize money then we will already have covered the loss of the remaining home fixtures (and we’ve been on sky more than we would have expected ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
