No idea mate. Not my game, you tell me?. Love to see it though.

 

Pespi buy /sponsor the training ground

Sponsor the shirt

Good exposure during the rise back up the leagues, to where we belong etc. Pumping zillions into the club, re-name the stadium Pepsico Stadium etc etc.

 

Fact is (I no longer live in Leicester) there appears to be a massive cloud over the whole city, in general. The whole place needs investment. (Re)Building up, cleaning up, literally.

 

Local based big businesses should be approached, by the councils etc to formalize a Leicester development plan. Start backing the city. Back whatever ideas King power have with their stadium development, and surrounding area plans should be fast tracked.

Do whatever it takes to get the whole city thriving again.

 

There's absolutely no vision, no feel good factor anymore. The performance of Leicester City, mirrors the City as a whole. The situation need to bottom out and start rising again. This should be ground zero.

That’s all lovely sentiment but businesses don’t exist to make cities feel good. That’s capitalism baby.

 

I’ve spoken about it before but the one of the failures that flies under the radar is not maximising ourselves commercially during the glory years. Sponsorships were limited to our owners, and their pals. We got complacent and didn’t go after, or failed to attract $ into the club. Why doesn’t Seagrave have a sponsor?  

At places like PepsiCo, brands don’t just have a budget to funnel cash into whatever they want. There are strict measures on what and how they drive their brands and I can tell you Leicester City FC does not pass muster
 

We’ve all complained about our media team. Wha value would a partner get out of our low engagement, transactional communication?

Can only see administration  looming maybe season  after next and with it a hefty points deduction, which renders that season  another  survival season before  we're  rid of these cvnts.

It basically says we are screwed. We've mortgaged our future in anticipation of getting back to the premier league. Expect complete liquidation of the squad.

Without a quick return back to the prem or King Power suddenly not being in financial bother, its only ending one way....

That is a superb piece of writing. 

Here is the absolute kicker.

Agree. Everything possible will be sold. Those that can't be sold, say for PSR depreciation reasons, will be loaned at huge loss. 

 

For example, Skipp won't be sold due to the PSR loss Nobody will pay his 35k a week. He'll be loaned on the basis someone pays 10k of that ,35k. We'll simply take the 25k hit. And no player for the privilege of forking that out. 

 

We'll be left with Bob and Luke Thomas. Teams wouldn't take them pair on even if you paid them to. 

 

There's a chance everyone will go. Aluko. Page. Braybrooke. Stolarcyk. Nelson.. Okoli on loan. VK on loan. Whether you like them or not. Absolutely everyone.

 

This is the end game. This is bankruptcy. Behold a pale horse.

So we might have been able to survive  either losing the Premier League money or failing to sell a player for a huge amount each summer or King Power having major money problems in Thailand, but probably not two of those at once, and certainly not all three at the same time.

Add in some poor signings and hit-and-miss managerial recruitment, and it's the perfect storm.

People have been warning for years now that the way football's gone, some big clubs could literally disappear if they make a mistake or two. If we're the first, we won't be the last.

Hot.

We will be, undoubtedly, inarguably the biggest club ever to go fully under.

Very, very possibly.

And the person they’ve promoted to lead our response to the most serious threat to the existence of the club since 1884 is the Finance guy who has stood by while Rudkin and co have been lobbing petrol on the flames for the past 2 years.

Not that it should be a contest, but what about Rangers?

Yep, you're right.

 

 

If it goes like Rangers-  effectively league 2 with a points deduction -  we'll have done very very well. 

 

The way the EFL is punitively destroying Sheffield Wednesday,  destroyed Luton and refused to help Bury gives me cause for concern though

In the PSR report, it was stated that the finance guy did point out the financial issues to the board, but they choose another route, which has lead to where we are now!

Maybe now he’s in charge he might have more clout

He saying Hermansen, Justin etc was sold due to an urgent problem with liquidity. How does he know that?

Puts into clear perspective what many of us already know/fear.  Going to be potentially very grim. 

[em9999]

There is nothing any of us can do about it and to be honest there are much more important things in life to worry about 

 

Whats the point in the mellow dramatics 

[Corky]

I do have a feeling that, further down the line, "new investment" may be announced.

I thought I realised how grim it’s going to be… but then read this and realised I was probably too optimistic!!

 

Personally I now think we’re in the 5000/1 territory to avoid administration

True, that wasn’t evidenced, so is either his opinion, or he does have knowledge of it being true. Would have been nice to have evidence for that, but then I guess how could he provide that?

The amount of cash in the bank is tiny, it’s self evident we have liquidity issues
