They’ll get ours out the way first. They’ll want to get our punishment in first before they let man city get away scot-free. 

If they’re really planning to start Man City’s next month, they won’t time to do ours first.

I Can't tell if this is a new story, a rehash of old stuff or what. We're just stuffed again

Yep I have long said everything should be dealt with in chronological order.

Pretty much expected.  One of the reasons I didnt want us to sell KDH, as ultimately we dont have the means to plug the gap he vacated, better to just take the risk with the rules on it.  But I think KP were more worried about their reputation than our competitiveness.

I wonder whether we’ve successfully argued that Man City’s must be held first because the outcome will have a direct impact on our defence - ie, if Man City are found guilty of serious rule breaches in either of the seasons we finished 5th, that would mean we were denied CL money - and ended up breaching PSR - directly as a result of their cheating.

PSR-wise we have only reinvested about £5m of the £40m we got for KDH and Enzo haven’t we?

 

“Not much left” yet about to spend about £10m on loans for Hlozek and Zaha and also offered over £20m for Ioannidis

 

There is clearly some budget there for us to use

 

The Athletic said the other day that our budget for the season was £40-£50m but didn’t bother to make a distinction as to whether or not that included the KDH money

We'll hear the outcome of ours first because when 115 Charges FC inevitably get found to have done absolutely nothing wrong next year, the Premier League will be hoping we're already the responsibility of the EFL having being dicked with a ten pointer which sealed our fate.

15-20m on wages for Ndidi and Vestergaards new 3 year contracts when they should have been let go, did the same with Choudhury last season and Reid will be another hinderance we can't shift. We cause our own problems

[coolhandfox]

The club isn't give Athletic a update its finances it's all guess work.

 

They need stuff to fill column space.

Those wages wouldn’t really take anything out of that budget though, and we have actually freed up quite a bit of wages with those who have left

Their financial charges are only up to 2017/18 , so have no bearing on our top 5 finishes. The subsequent charges going beyond 2018 are  for failure to comply with the investigation.

Ours and Man City’s punishments and situations are very different to say Everton or Forests.

 

While both of those clubs were undeniable in a relegation battle they should have had enough to stay up, of which they did, quite comfortably in the end.

 

We are likely to be up against it as it is, at the other end of the spectrum Man City are going to be in a title race. I don’t think they want “blood on their hands” whereby any sanctions to potentially be used to say “it relegated Leicester” or it “cost Man City the title”.

 

A side note - they’ll never have the bollocks to relegate or even severely punish Man City.

Why haven’t we sold off Belvoir Drive?

We can’t. It’s complex. We have the long term leasehold, YMCA have the freehold. Assumed sporting covenant on it as well

Also whats it worth? With planning permission for housing £3-5 million is my guess. It barely touches the sides of football finance.

Not the easiest site either with differing levels

Its worth more as a professional training ground to be re-sold to an internal company in PSR terms than a housing sale.

They tried to sell in 90s for housing together with YMCA ground plus adjacent  Banks Sports ground. Planning was refused. Main problem was due to amount of houses that could be built the access roads were not considered suitable/ able to cope with increase traffic.

Those are issues that can be resolved.

 

It's more than football money is in a different league to land near the Saff.  The value of the land would pay vardys wages for a couple of months so it's hardly worth doing.

Sources have claimed that the sanctions could be significant, though Leicester believe they have a strong and realistic defence and are hopeful of being deducted no more than six points.
