Aston Villa looking to buy Ross Barkley for 5 million.

 

Luton have done well giving him a chance last summer and then getting a good fee.

Could've sworn he was on a 1 year deal.

If it did pop, wonder who would swoop in? 

Super league would start with 8 or so prem clubs. It would likely be the downfall of every top league except the bundersliga.

Just fvck Manchester City off. I’m fed up of them. 
 

A club suing the league or a club suing another club. Everything is money. If it does all implode I hope it’s really soon.

We're basically going to have the UAE and Saudi governments dictating the football rules going forward. 

 

I expect that an 'independant' regulator will be bought in that will basically favour the big 6 clubs.

Any rumblings about pre-season friendlies yet? Going on the piss in Leicester with a bunch of old mates on 27th July, hoping there might be a home game we can go to? I think in recent seasons we've had a fairly decent marquee game at the KP around that time in pre-season.

It'd be hard to narrow but I think anybody with a connection to a government or state shouldn't be allowed to buy a club, such as Man City and Newcastle. Too much power, too much money.

when our government is involved too you know its no longer a level playing field.

Basically we have to appease two Islamic dictatorships to ensure our national security.

Man U seem to think the answer to their problems is sacking anyone who works for the club or banning them from any contact with the first team squad .

Resource distancing. Maybe they think it will halt the plague that has gripped the club.

I don't generally mind Man City but their attitude towards other teams and now this is ridiculous.

 

They are everything they used to hate about their neighbours.

Wolves fan advisory board has been relatively successful in getting the club to reverse some of the increase decisions made recently.

Wolves:

Reverse U14's price increase.

Adult price freeze.

Review junior pricing.

Improve communication and consultation with fans around major proposals.

 

I'm not going to say well done because they should never have done or proposed what they did, but well done for listening and changing.

Coalville Town 23rd July. Although, i don't know if the issues at Coalville recently will impact this.

Season starts 17 aug. 27 July is too early for a home friendly. They’ll still be on camp in July I’d imagine

Struck a chord with me, this.  Stevie p sounds in a similar boat to me. Single parent and Leicester city is mine and my daughter's thing.  I don't have a season ticket and have always paid game by game.  Last season we attended around 18 home and away.  The point I'm making is that I'm not what you would call well off, but I have a decent job, above average wage but even so I'm close to reaching the point where football on a regular basis will be too expensive for me soon. If someone on a decent income is struggling to justify it, how do clubs expect people on lower wages or younger people to attend. Another couple of seasons and I can see that Leicester city will be a one off treat rather than a regular thing which saddens me as I have been going since 1991.  They will lose a lifelong supporter in me and a future supporter in my daughter, who won't go alone, nor be able to afford it.  There will come a point surely where even people on higher incomes say enough is enough. What happens then?  There has to be a limit as to how much even well off people will pay.  Don't clubs realise this?

It's all well and good saying support a local team but the investment of emotion and the useless ability of being able to recall goals from games 25 years ago won't be there and it just won't matter as much to any supporter who has supported a team since childhood.

 

In fairness to wolves I believe they have backtracked on the child ticket increases....I can't see Leicester doing the same when the situation arises.  I genuinely cannot wait for the football gravy train to implode and it gets back to being a sport not a money making exercise.....here's hoping.
