League One Confirmed

[Globalfox]

The real sadness is talking to the staff who did do their jobs many of whom Friday will be the last time as they are laid off due to the ineptness of this owner and his band of sycophants. Also saying farewell to football friends who will stay away not because we are in the third division but because abuse nothing currently works at this club. We as supporters understand what needs to happen but this owner does not have the backbone to do it. Could we be relegated to the fourth division that is not beyond the realms of possibility. I cannot see administration at least next season beyond that we are in uncharted waters. 61 seasons through thick and thin and now I begin to wonder will I remain.

I just don’t feel anything other than total disconnect.

 

My partner asked me who my favourite City player is and I realised that for the first time in 58 years of support I just don’t have one.

 

I fear for our existence.

To be fair, she’s got better movement than Mavididi

[STUHILL]

Even more painful than this relegation, is just knowing that Top and Rudkin aren't going anywhere. 

[Cal]

All of them can **** off. Only ones id keep on are the youth players. But you just know we'll be lumbered with about 10 of these weasels next season too.

My fave City player this season, isn't even a city player. 

 

Thanks for everything JJ, albeit your remark about 'being silly if we think we will drop to League 1'

3 wins since the club told its staff they weren’t going to be paid on their expected December pay date 

 

Some ****ing karma that

Don't think it can be under estimated how much all of this has had an impact on the pitch. Not because I think these players care about the staff. But because it was the first real confirmations that all the noise around finances were true. They all looked to jump ship around this point. Then the -6 was ready to come and they gave up. 

 

Stories now that they all seen the process in appointing Marti just as amateur as we all did. This shit all has a massive effect.

That's AI right?!? Surely cannot be real. Please tell me that is AI. 

Nope, real.

Biggest decline you will ever witness. Worst owner in England.

Darkest day in our history. We've been here before but not from the position we have found ourselves in during the past decade. Had the chance to cement Leicester as a top half Premier League club and we have monumentally blown it. Sickening to the core.

[teblin]

I thought I was numb to it all. But I’ve woken up at 4.30am and it’s all I can think about. It doesn’t hurt like the day at Stoke, but it is certainly worse in situation. 
 

How just how was it allowed to happen? I was in Rome less than 4 years ago. That said the Rot was well and truly set in then.

 

My gut says that we have still got further to fall. Might be level 4 or something even more embarrassing(than league 1) like selling training ground to forest, administration.

 

I hope I’m wrong but I think we’ll be here for more than 1 season.

In my head, this is Julie Sutton

 

She looks like the kind of grandma who’d use the word ‘cnut’ too 

[dillonpanthers87]

It happened. ****. I watched it, but still sinking in. Ugh.

Imagine picking the one person involved who doesn't deserve the criticism to be the target of it XD

Imagine coming out and saying it would be mad to say we are in a relegation battle when we were in a relegation battle.

I’ve been getting grief off someone called Julie Sutton didn’t realise she is well known 🤣

[teblin]

As I've already said I thought I was Numb.

 

But just been out for a walk and listened to when your smiling podcast, and istening to Pipe I had tears in my eyes, and you can hear in his voice he's not far off the same at time.

 

Slowly dawning what it means (even though I knew it would happen)

• 1st round of FA cup
• Playing Forests u21s in the EFL Trophy
• Trips to Bromley, Leyton Orient, Burton, Wycombe
• not being the highest LCFC
• I think it will be our lowest finish ever, a I think we'll not finish top

Not to mention the financial fallout.

 

Sad, Sad times, for the football club I love. I wish I didn't care, but a so so do.

Knew it was coming. Been expecting it for months. Knew last night was the night. Thought I was ready to accept it. But this morning I am absolutely fuming.

Oh yeah

 

Funnily enough, she’s a cnut. I can say that though as I’m not a 60 year old grandmother

This isn't to negate from the running of the club at all, but if you believe in the footballing gods, it has felt like it was aligned for us to go down. Just as it felt we were destined to win the title.

10 years on from that.

5 years on from the FA Cup win.

This has to be about the worst downfall of any club in the modern era, to go from a position of such strength to huge financial losses and a points deduction.

The prospect of spending a decade or more outside the top flight is a very realistic one, if the club even survives for that long.

[Babylon]

I look forward to the root and branch review that holds Dorris the tea lady totally responsible and nobody else loses their job. 

[Haywood_6]

17 wins in 80 games tells you everything you need to know. Half hearted performances from overpaid players paired with complacency and a delusional 'we'll be fine' attitude at the club. 

 

You have to somehow cling on to some sort of hope things will change. Keep holding the club to account, demand higher standards, demand better. Refuse to accept this sh*te. As fans that's the one thing you can control. We can't stay silent.

[Scotch]

So, I'm trying to wrap my head around the PSR rule differences between the championship and league 1. As far as I'm aware, the Championship work of the 3 year loss system that focuses on profit where league 1 uses a percentage of revenue wage cap where we can only spend 60% of what we bring in...

 

So theoretically, if we where to sell all our high earning players for massive losses, or even release them, it wouldn't hurt us in regards to PSR as long as their wages are off the bill? As long as the combined wages of the players that stay is within 60% of what we bring in over the season? Or am I over simplyfing it?

It isn't 12 months though it's more like 6 months to save the club, I can't see us being midtable or lower next season and making a resurgence, we need an Enzo type start next season to save us from sinking further still. 

 

 

Seems to me we need an Enzo on the pitch and an Enzo in the Boardroom.

Maybe even a spare Enzo to sort out everywhere else....
