How has the 'Leicester city undivided' Facebook page took the news? Have the changed the group picture to black.....

Actually very pro-sale, albeit a few with a heavy heart that are basically saying, and I para-phrase, it’s a shame Top ****ed it up and it’s sad for him and his dad. But not actually defending his or asking for him to stay. Just the one that went against the grain…

Selling the club is the worse possible option. Just get rid of Rudkin and we will be fine 🦊

 

Always one right!

This is from Sky Sports, I had to re-read it, but how can our finances deem from ruined by some financial experts to such a big claim that we’re almost entirely debt-free?

 

Also, I thought that we had bigger turnouts than 30% of PL clubs, yet we’re smaller than some bigger Championship clubs apparently.

Were smaller when it suits the narrative.

 

According to the figures put out by the club, we were getting 29K week in week out last year whilst in a championship relegation battle (one of the best supported teams in the league). Now we're back to being a tinpot, inadequate, little club from the Midlands. So which is it?

 

And the debt debate doesn't stack up. Who were running the club when the finances were in the black and have consequently put us in the red due to their own decision making.

100% true….

Ultimately whilst the club is on the market the fire sale will continue and investment in new players will be minimal. Maybe just enough to pay lip service to providing cover for those leaving  but not even treading water in terms of quality looking at recent business

It is Rob Dorsett. Very pro-ownership.

Surprising. Thought he had more knowledge of the club than that, but I suppose an agenda can slant objectivity.

King Power have put us in debt and we should be thankful that they've taken out huge loans with interest to help us? Why don't people get it 

[Trent Steel]

Is this actually gonna happen or is a load of old dross like our playing style and manager?

Plenty of observers, internally and externally, went in to bat for them early. They could do no wrong. The fans criticising were entitled. And that argument has never changed despite mounting evidence against them so the parameters change. 

 

It has sunk in with many but still a few persist in this lazy and often incorrect trope. It is tough for people to admit their judgement was/ is wrong so it is the fault of others for pointing it out.

 

Anyway, hopefully it will be over soon and the next ownership can be objectively analysed.

There is some administration noise this morning. IF and i mean IF we are really at risk and things are that bad then Top should sell it for next to nothing to maintain his dads last bit of legacy he had.

It's from this article:
https://www.footballinsider247.com/leicester-city/leicester-city-in-serious-danger-of-administration-player-wages-are-killing-them

 

The article is clickbait, doesn't make sense given the club is turning down bids if there was a firesale (and they would have surely wanted to get as much money earlier in the window). They've looked to get a new angle on the story about the club's sale so gone sensationalist. I expect rumours like this are going round so other clubs try to low-ball us. 

 

But there's no doubt the owners have got serious business troubles and we need to get promoted this season.

on the article, im pretty sure the wages were cut when relegated from the prem and then cut again when relegated to league 1, so skipp, faes, hamza arent on 50k a week(if im wrong someone please say)

Just been on Bentleys Roof and someone has posted that Red Bull representatives are looking around us next week.

 

Maybe 🐂💩but though I’d post.

It makes too much sense and fits the brand well, given we're such an extreme club! And Leipzig/Leicester works from a brand view.

 

But the Leeds shareholding is an issue, albeit they have less than 10% so not a major shareholder - selling their holding wouldn't be too much of an issue you'd think.

Maguire said that we've introduced these clauses so they should be on less but depends on when the contracts were signed.

Well reported that we didn't have them when we get relegated first time round though.

so think its fair to say no one at the club in terms of playing squad will be on 50k a week then

On a serious note, if IF Red Bull were to buy us out right, we would have to have 'Red Bull' or RB in our name.

I'm sure that would cause major stress to some of our weird fan base

50% did want the great reset from Top what better way than a total rebrand 😂

That isn’t true, it was reported that they all had 35-50% clauses

And it will have been the same again following relegation league one

Nope - highest is probably someone like Skipp on about £25k-£30k and that would be if he was getting the lowest % wage reduction
