Just a theory I think the same as you tbh

Just a theory Hopefully this isn't true. You can only go so long without investing in the playing squad and progressing as a club before the fans turn. If for whatever reason KP no longer want to make funds available, then it may be best for them to start thinking about selling up unfortunately. 1

Fair enough if that's the case, when you see forests owner talking about splashing £100m you do wonder though

Grebfromgrebland Posted 13 June 2022 Posted 13 June 2022 The owners have said that the aim is to be self sustainable. This is what that looks like. I feel like we've had our moment in the sun and now the priority is to not get relegated which isn't what people want to hear but that is the first primary aim of all clubs at our level and below. 7th or 8th place finish next season will be what we can expect. Anything above that and we've exceeded ourselves by a long way. Just look at the power of the big 6 and the chasing pack. 1

Surely we have to be in the chasing pack though, Europa league has to be our aim?
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 13 June 2022 Posted 13 June 2022 Surely this is a BS rumour. What is the logic here. Has this lad impressed at any point. Even Vestercrap played for a team that got to a Euro QF. So you can partially forgive the mistake.

As well as 20m worth of sponsorship a year. What a waste of money, they could have bought us Haaland and Darwin Nunez for that….

Thought it was pretty much all to do with having so much space in their wage budgets compared to those who are EPL ever presents

We just need to go out and compete, do the best we can, if we come up short, we look to see how we can gain the next season.

At any point there is a fair chance that at least two of the big six will be undergoing major changes to their squads. That is the time when we again have a chance of making the top six.
Gravel Posted 13 June 2022 Posted 13 June 2022 How did rumours of us buying Elyouruseless turn into KP pulling investment on the club? I'm off to hide in my happy place 1 2

I dont think a club with this aim would have given the manager such a large contract. We are doing things the correct way, lets not mistake that for a lack of ambition. Our owners realised a long while ago that money doesnt guarantee success, they want smart sustainable business... So do we. The reality is, that even if they did want to pump money in, we are still not going to be anywhere near to the clubs we are trying to chase down. Which is why we are trying to play smarter, focusing on infrastructure because that can set us up for years, where as a few hail mary signing can stink out the place if it goes wrong (especially if it messes with the wage structure) Edited 13 June 2022 by Lambert09 5

mozartfox Posted 13 June 2022 Posted 13 June 2022 I wish this thread was closed. Offers no improvement whatsoever. Heard tonight on Radio Leicester he would cost 10m. Which razor blades are the best???? 1 1
Pliskin Posted 14 June 2022 Posted 14 June 2022 I think this is clearly a bit of agent work to get a new deal for his player. He’s as average as they come, and it would make no sense as you’d be replacing Perez with Perez….. 3
