Just realized that if Portsmouth win in mid week and beat us Saturday we’re down.

Mathematically wouldn't be able to catch Portsmouth, but can still catch Blackburn amd West Brom

 

That aside we'll struggle to get a point for the rest of the season anyway

We will probably muster a few away points then roll over in the 2 home games. To be honest if the players weren’t so petrified of playing at home we’d be safe by now. Maybe a mass boycott for the 2 home games would help everyone 🤣

Imagine if somehow City, Oxford, Portsmouth, Westbrom, Blackburn and Charlton all finished tied in points and 2 were relgated based on GD.

 

We would need to do something we haven't  done all season and go on a run. I mean, I have a better chance shagging Dua Lipa then that happening.

 

OK, back to my league one analysis.

West Bromwich Albion have been charged with an alleged breach of financial rules.

The thing to take from that article - they have hired a highly experience individual to correct their shortcomings. In turn, we have decided to go forth without a FD. 

 

Which is the club that deserves to catch a break ?

So having a quick read, it looks like West Brom worked with the EFL last season on a business plan and had to jump through a bunch of hoops, so their fans seem confused by it atm. Unless their dodgy owner just ignored the agreed business plan and pressed on spending too much.

 

Interested to see how that plays out.

Even if it does get applied this year (it won't) it won't be big enough to affect us. We're 5 points behind them already, they're picking up points every week. We'll finish 8/9/10 points below them and there's no way their deduction will be bigger than ours.

The big question if it's applied this season. Would be incredibly laughable if it isn't, and would hugely leave the EFL open to further appeals.

 

 

The rules apparently state that any penalties must be applied the season after the charge, so that would mean this season. Not sure how that'd be possible given how long the appeals process usually takes. 

 

Also it proves that all clubs have fans think that the league is out to get them. Their initial reaction is that the league is doing this to try and save Leicester. Not surprisingly on hear, I also often read that the league is out to get us as well haha.

Perfect - another excuse for our board and the apologists to shift the blame from themselves.

I still don't think our points deduction will matter. Can see us finishing 8-10 points behind 21st.

I mean you’d have to be pretty stupid to try and blame that, when were we first charged in 2024 or something 😂. Possibly longer, the case was certainly not wrapped up in 3 weeks 😂

You would have to be pretty stupid to support King Power in 2026 so yes, they will do exactly this.

Also if the league were actually “desperate to save Leicester” which I’m pretty sure they are not given the amount of effort they went to get the points taken off. Surely the easiest way to do that would be to just drop the charges instead of trying than going around the houses and drumming up some non founded charges against West Brom. We’ll still go down if we don’t beat Portsmouth regardless of West Brom being docked all their points 😂

 

Football fans sometimes, honestly 😂

It's irrelevant. Even if WBA got a 25 points deduction, we'd still need to finish above one of Pompey or Oxford which isn't happening.

I regularly have to hear argument that KPFC fans make that suggest that the Premier League are doing all of this out of spite for us winning the league.

 

Despite the fact it was arguably the best thing that ever happened to it in terms of attracting the eyes of the planet.

 

PL commercial revenue in 2014 was £915.8m. In 2018 it was £1.326bn.

 

PL broadcast revenue in 2014 was 1.749bn. In 2018 it was £2.823bn.

 

PL total revenue in 2014 was £3.257bn. In 2018 it was 4.824bn.

It's both ridiculous and ignorant at the same time.

 

The Premier League enforces the rules set by the clubs. To portray this myth that the PL body itself, which got countless coverage, monetary boosts and a significant profile build would be looking to punish us is crazy.

 

Clubs set the rules with the 2/3 majority, PL carry it out.

 

Also, if they were that thirsty for vengeance do you think they'd have let us finish fifth twice, with both seasons seeing us bobbing around the top three for portions of the season?

 

People who push this weird conspiracy narrative are no better than climate change deniers who try and push the problem on anything but what the issue actually is.

 

But then again why would KPFC take accountability for the failings of our owners when they themselves seem to ignore, deflect, blame others and try to litigate themselves out of problems of their own making.

Why the **** would the PL care who wins the league, never mind hold a ten year grudge over it plotting away like Dick Dastardly to destroy a team that did  😂

 

The amount of mental gymnastics these people do must be tiring.

Interesting figures.

 

I do buy that they wouldn’t want a club like Leicester to do it again as the big clubs are favourably looked upon and there was a direct quote wasn’t there from someone within the PL about not wanting any more Leicester City’s.

 

But there’s a difference between enforcing the rules in a way that there can’t be any more Leicester City’s (like Villa and Newcastle getting so far and stalling) and actively trying to punish the club years later which is definitely a daft point of view.
