As much as Seagrave is an amazing facility with hindsight it was a massive error to sink so much cash into something that doesn’t offer any tangible opportunity to increase commercial / matchday revenue. We massively missed a trick not developing the KP when we had the chance. Seagrave was a massive investment and it’s massively impacted our ability to trade moving forward and the investment isn't delivering a return to justify the outlay. Yep, even then the plans for our stadium are so conservative as well only an 8k increase about 25% boost. 48k would have been a better target and if done within 2 years of title would have been filled.
Chrysalis Posted 10 January Posted 10 January On 09/01/2026 at 10:31, Claudio Fannieri said: Absolutely agree, Seagrave is a world class facility and one as a club we should be very proud of as it’s a massive selling point and given the facilities it should be set us aside and help drive massive improvements in our analysis and sports science. It’s just such a frustration it has coincided with such a massive drop off in standards, and culture throughout the club which has meant that we are now in position where we have these world class facilities and yet we are a mid table championship club with a very average manager/head coach, a squad that is short on genuine talent and aligned to the club also massively struggling from a financial aspect as well. There isnt any evidence it offers an improvement to the first team. What do we know? Only a small portion of it is in use by the first team, lots of pitches but the first team doesnt need them all. Fitness levels in terms of injuries and athleticism in games has been nothing but a disaster, currently circa bottom of distance run in games this season. An ex player who has trained at both the old and new new training ground described Seagrave as a SPA type experience. Things like newer cleaner changing rooms, access to a swimming pool, SPA facilities, posh eating facilities, dont improve player physics. The only thing that you could argue would do that is a better gym, but a 100m training complex wasnt needed for a gym upgrade. It might help attract players, but PSR and our player acquisition is such a disaster is it has arguably just made it easier to sign expensive past their best ex EPL players like Ayew and Coady. I think a bigger stadium would have just as much an impact, Martin o neil once said he had to bring players into filbert street walking backwards so they only seen the best stand. 2

HankMarvin Posted 13 January Posted 13 January It would make the signings of players like Okoli and Skipp and the loan signing of Edouarde even more bizarre if they are out by any of those figures, or even getting a permanent for Bilal before the window shut 1
Wink84 Posted 13 January Posted 13 January If weve breached last season as well it will be bedlam on here. Maybe it's time the club hired an accountant or something. 1 3

Its the Leicester way😀 It wouldn't surprise me if it turned out to be the case. I would love the media to really go for jugular this time, lay it on as think as possible and dish out weapons grade levels of embarrassment to Top and the KindPower bell sniffs However the happy clapping KPFC brigade will just continue to ignore it much as they have all of our woes to date. 1
Muzzy_no7 Posted 13 January Posted 13 January Be amazed if we breached it for 24/25. Net spend was only around £35m for 24/25. 23/24 we gained +£50m in transfers. 25/26 was once again a gain of around +£50m and that’s not including the pending Bilal sale. The wages are killing us though and won’t really come to a more realistic level until June 2027.
ClaphamFox Posted 13 January Posted 13 January 16 minutes ago, Mark 'expert' Lawrenson said: Do we find out tomorrow? If 24/25 is deemed to be within PL’s jurisdiction, we will find out tomorrow. If it‘s within the EFL’s remit, we might not find out for a while. 1

I think it was well documented that KDH went on the previous years accounts, meaning Cannon was the the only incoming fee Edited 13 January by HankMarvin 2

Vowels Posted 13 January Posted 13 January Ran in to Darren Byfield a couple of weeks ago. Asked him about it, but not only did he have no inside track on it, he didn't seem interested at all. 1
