£6.50 and a Mars Bar.

They wuz robbed!

I'm hearing we are being investigated and the league are looking into the Mars Bar as its now believed it was a family pack of 3 and not a singular Mars as reported in our financial statement.

The EFL never approved Leicester's sale of said Mars Bar. The buyers? a relative of King Power – the same ownership group that controls Leicester.

This internal transaction allowed Leicester to recognise the profit of 19p as revenue, offsetting their operating losses. The EFL had not accepted this due to the obvious conflict: the Mars Bar essentially changed corporate entities but remained under the same umbrella. UEFA  have banned such related-party transactions for years, but the EFL maintained this blind spot. So i believe.

But wasn't the Mars Bar better at scoring than Daka. It always hits the spot for me.

Ins and outs 2026, well due to the total mismangement at this club, totally crap mens and womens teams both relegated. The only outs I know of is those who were working behind the scenes, not management support staff, so many have now lost there jobs due to total crap at the top. Shame on you LCFC

We can confirm that 10 Men’s First Team players will depart Leicester City Football Club upon the expiration of their contracts this summer.
Confirmation that 10 senior players will leave the Football Club this summer
Club captain Ricardo Pereira is among those departing
Jordan James, Aaron Ramsey, Joe Aribo, Dujuan Richards and Divine Mukasa will return to their parent clubs following loan spells
Extension options have been taken up on five young players
Among those is captain Ricardo Pereira, who made 220 appearances for us across eight seasons since joining from Porto in his native Portugal in the summer of 2018.
Ricardo was part of the squads that won the 2021 Emirates FA Cup and the FA Community Shield later that same year. He also found the net 15 times from right-back – none more memorable than the late UEFA Conference League Quarter-Final winner away at PSV Eindhoven in 2022, as well as lifting the 2023/24 Sky Bet Championship title.
Alongside Ricardo, strikers Patson Daka and Jordan Ayew, defender Jamaal Lascelles and Academy graduate Wanya Marçal will also leave us at the end of the season following the expiration of their contracts.
Goalkeeper Asmir Begović’s contract is also due to expire this summer, but he remains in discussions with us about the possibility of extending his stay at King Power Stadium.
In addition to those players, the loan spells of Jordan James, Aaron Ramsey, Joe Aribo, Dujuan Richards and Divine Mukasa will all end and see the players return to their parent clubs.
We have also exercised options to extend the contracts of five players from our Academy - midfielders Henry Cartwright, 21, Tommy Neale, 20 and Ryan Donnelly, 19, and defenders Thomas Wilson-Brown, 21, and Reiss Khela, 19.
Contract offers have also been made to goalkeepers Stevie Bausor and Harry French, both 20, defenders Mirsad Ali, 20 and Bobby Amartey, 19, midfielders Silko Thomas and Logan Briggs, both 21 and forward Josh King, 20.
Meanwhile we can also confirm that goalkeeper Jake Donohue, 20, defender Jahmari Lindsay, 21, midfielders Alfie Fisken, 20, Toby Onanaye, 19 and Olaoluwa Omobolaji, 18 and striker Chris Popov, 21, will be leaving the Football Club.
We would like to thank all players who are leaving us for their contributions during their time on Filbert Way and wish them the very best for the future.

It’s a start. Hopefully some of the player’s agents will get them out of the club. We don’t seem to be able to move people on. 

[Sínnann]

Daka won’t let the door hit his backside on the way out.

 

He’ll walk into the doorframe instead.

[steveb]

As a long term much touted replacement for Vardy, Daka must be the biggest failure in the history of football.

We should put any wages we still owe him in the back of the net and he will never find it.

I believe it helped Daka work and rest but we’re still waiting for the play part. One for us gen-Xers.

[Winstonthedog]

It will be interesting where the players we have let go re surface .... 

[Long Eaton Fox]

As we don't have a manager, who decides which players leave?

[Claudio Fannieri]

Interesting that the club didn’t also take the opportunity to say Rowett, Davidson and Sadler would also be leaving at the end of their short term contracts. 

[Wsl]

Well Vardy's now out of contract. His deal was for 1 year, with an extension of 1 year if they avoided relegation. Which they didn't. We could be vying for his signature along with Sheffield Wednesday after all....

 

*places cat down carefully among the pigeons*

[coolhandfox]

Vardy isn't playing in L1 for us or Wednesday.

 

He will still have better offers.

[Edingleyfox]

Can’t see Vardy coming back but surely Leicester will try to get a couple of strikers in after completely failing to strengthen last year. Percy reported a while ago that another goalkeeper is on the cards and now Begovic is being offered an extension. There are going to be huge gaps in the first team not least the loss of Jordan James Ricardo probably Fatawu heaven knows what the plan is I suspect make do as usual. If the last couple of windows is anything to go by Leicester will bring in a 3-4 players on the last day mainly loans that turn out not to be an upgrade or have serious fitness issues

Rudkin's shopping list

 

Key Players Out of Contract & Recovering From Injury

• Adam Webster (Brighton & Hove Albion): The defender is out of contract and navigating free agency while rehabilitating a serious ACL injury.
• Solly March (Brighton & Hove Albion): Having endured serious knee injuries, the winger is out of contract and available for a free transfer while aiming to regain full fitness.
• Michail Antonio: The former West Ham United forward became a free agent following a severe injury and is currently using training grounds to trial for new clubs after a lengthy layoff.
• John Stones: The defender's high-profile departure from Manchester City as a free agent was complicated by frequent injury setbacks that made medical evaluations highly relevant for his potential suitors. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

[Lambert09]
