Burleyfox Posted 18 April 2005 Posted 18 April 2005 Anyone else livid at Chris Waddle's article in the Sun this morning? " Taylor has the last laugh The footballing public of Leicester should not have been surprised to seee a two fingered sign appear over their city yesterday morning. If they did, it will almost certainly have been delivered by Peter Taylor, the manager they cruelly hounded out of the club four years ago. Taylor faced a thankless task taking over from Foxes idol Martin O'Neil. But the treatment he received during his 15 months in charge was unacceptable. He's got his own back now though, by going in at Hull and masterminding back-to-back promotions for the Tigers. It's clear he has a lot of talent and I say long may his success continue" - WHAT PLANET DOES WADDLE LIVE ON?

C-man Posted 18 April 2005 Posted 18 April 2005 WTF WADDLE? If you knew what went on at LCFC, you would realise he singlehandedly ruined our club. He took us from europe to relegation, he put us in the awful financial state we are in, and its all down to him. So think about it before you write asshole

Guest Posted 19 April 2005 Posted 19 April 2005 Coming from the man who can't take a penalty, had the worst haircut in English football, and released a criminal record so vile he should have gone to prison for it. Glasshouses, Waddle, glasshouses......

davieG Posted 19 April 2005 Posted 19 April 2005 Let’s look at the events of Leicester Leicester City had already gone down when their money troubles came to light. The recently completed Walkers Stadium (worth around £32m of the £50m debt the club had at the time of administration) the collapse of the ITV Digital deal and the cost of premiership wages in a division that could not support them cost Leicester dear. But all hope was not lost. The Board of Directors at that time had agreed with the players and backroom staff that there would be a wage deferral of 25% and a complete bonus deferral until the end of that season. They also agreed with all but one of their creditors a repayment scheme that would mean Leicester would avoid going into administration, whilst ensuring that the creditors would be repaid in full in the fullness of time. There was only one creditor who refused the repayment. Eric Hall, agent of the recently sacked Dennis Wise, was furious that his client had been wrongly dismissed for breaking team-mate Callum Davidson’s cheek-bone. He was still owed money from the sale of Wise to Leicester and refused the creditor agreement. He decided to serve a winding up petition that would have led the club into bankruptcy and extinction. His reasoning for this I cannot comment on and my only hope is that it was not malicious. This caused the directors to have to apply for creditor protection. Once this was done, administrators were appointed. The majority of the playing squad were made available on free transfers and even Muzzy Izzet was made available for transfer if the right offer came in. A large portion of the Non Playing staff were asked to leave immediately and the players even subsidised the wages of the kit cleaning staff to ensure they turned out in fresh shirts. Over the next four months, Leicester lived day to day. There were times when the club came close to going out of business in this time. Fortunately, the Lineker Consortium managed to raise enough funding from local businessmen, former players like Emile Heskey and even the fans who weighed in with more than £100k in support of the club. The administrators then got agreement from the creditors for debt repayment and the new company was given the go ahead to come out of administration and it should have been plain sailing for Leicester City from then on. It wasn’t. Leicester were accused of cheating their way out of debt by every other club in the first division. There was talk of points docking and even relegation! As there was no law regarding football clubs in administration, nothing could be done, except the Football League took an unprecedented step of banning Leicester from signing any players on any terms before the end of the season. This was perceived to be punishment for any wrong-doing by the club.

Knighton Matt Posted 19 April 2005 Posted 19 April 2005 incidentally did anyone see a booklet the club produced when we were in admin which explained the expenditure the club had experienced during the past few years and apparently we continued to pay insurance for pontus kaamark by mistake even though he left the club over two years previously!
