TheUltimateWinner Posted 19 June 2013 Posted 19 June 2013 @GaryLineker: Football clubs do some remarkably strange things. LCFC have Terry Robinson as DOF & Sir Dave Richards as 'advisor' Jeez
Babylon Posted 19 June 2013 Posted 19 June 2013 Just a thought ..... wouldn't he have been in charge of writing the FFP rules??? no better bloke to get round them if he was! He had a lot to do with bringing it into the premier league. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1311584-epl-chairman-sir-dave-richards-to-step-down-at-end-of-season
whitlock Posted 19 June 2013 Posted 19 June 2013 @GaryLineker: Football clubs do some remarkably strange things. LCFC have Terry Robinson as DOF & Sir Dave Richards as 'advisor' Jeez Gary Lineker â€@GaryLineker 5m Seem to recall Sir Dave being very critical of our actions when we salvaged the club from administration all those years ago. Hey ho!
indierich06 Posted 19 June 2013 Posted 19 June 2013 We've pressed the self destruct button By employing a footballing advisor and DOF? Hardly.
Deucalion Posted 19 June 2013 Posted 19 June 2013 Maybe he is a consultant rather than a full-time appointment? That can't be a bad thing, although I get the feeling his advice is solely available to Leicester. DOF looks like a permanent fixture though.
Babylon Posted 19 June 2013 Posted 19 June 2013 By employing a footballing advisor and DOF? Hardly. For gods sake, get with the programme and please overreact accordingly.
Babylon Posted 19 June 2013 Posted 19 June 2013 We've pressed the self destruct button We pressed that when we started running losses of £30m a season in the championship and paying players over 30k a week. Trying to control that, is what I would call the opposite of pressing the self destruct button.
ThurnbyLodgeFox Posted 19 June 2013 Posted 19 June 2013 It isn't that bad is it? Somebody to get rid of the deadwood and a chairman who has worked with Pearson before? He helped make the Premier League the best league in the World... things are being blown out of proportion
Dickov22 Posted 19 June 2013 Author Posted 19 June 2013 We pressed that when we started running losses of £30m a season in the championship and paying players over 30k a week. I agree, but couldn't we find someone better ffs. Trying to control that, is what I would call the opposite of pressing the self destruct button.
suffolk fox Posted 19 June 2013 Posted 19 June 2013 It isn't that bad is it? Somebody to get rid of the deadwood and a chairman who has worked with Pearson before? He helped make the Premier League the best league in the World... things are being blown out of proportion Ah but it is not easy to get rid of deadwood if they do not want to go? These players are all on a contract to get rid you will either have to sell them (no one wants them as their salaries and demands are too high). Or pay off their contracts. Which will mean we are worse off. Biting the bullet and either playing them as Lcfc players or even treating them as part of the squad may help. Not isolating them or making them train with the youth players or reserves. After all they are contracted to play for our club so you may as well use them for this purpose. You never know it may even work.
GorlestonFox Posted 19 June 2013 Posted 19 June 2013 I do not get why LCFC need to employ another bod to bring the spend down? Surely anyone can say no to giving a player 30k a week if the club can not afford it.
l444ry Posted 19 June 2013 Posted 19 June 2013 I do not get why LCFC need to employ another bod to bring the spend down? Surely anyone can say no to giving a player 30k a week of the club can not afford it. Spot on mate! The club seems to be being run by first class idiots.
whitlock Posted 19 June 2013 Posted 19 June 2013 Surely they would save money on the wages that these two will be on also? It's not difficult, we need to get rid of the big spenders.
Dickov22 Posted 19 June 2013 Author Posted 19 June 2013 I'd trust the judgement of Gary Lineker plus 95% of Sheff Wed fans over our owners. Shambles
ThurnbyLodgeFox Posted 19 June 2013 Posted 19 June 2013 I'd trust the judgement of Gary Lineker plus 95% of Sheff Wed fans over our owners. Shambles do you even support Leicester? every post I see you make is always negative
Dickov22 Posted 19 June 2013 Author Posted 19 June 2013 do you even support Leicester? every post I see you make is always negative Mmm, I'd double check on that one. I'm probably the most pro Nigel Pearson and the players person on here. I'm not a fan of the owners after firstly, they employed Sven, then tried to employ Redknapp behind Pearson's back. Two dreadful pieces of business.

Sven wasn't exactly as bad as you made out, if you think about it. From a financial part, it wasn't brilliant but we are dealing with that now. He got us out of a slum Sousa got us into, put us on the map a bit more as a football club and boosted the name 'Leicester City Football Club'

MooseBreath Posted 19 June 2013 Posted 19 June 2013 Mandaric employed Sven. The redknapp stories was likely bullshit, possibly a redknapp PR stunt, and maybe just what astute people do.
