I am 100% sure, none of us want Cov to ever put our club at risk again, by losing 71 million in one season in the Premier League, how Leicester allowed that to happen is appalling.
I’d rather us have one season above, make a small profit after investing a lot in the clubs infrastructure, and a few decent players, than go through the same s**t we went through with SISU
Never ever again do I want my club playing in bloody Northampton or Brum ever again or put the club at risk of admin.
Do it sensibly Doug, don’t run up a debt anywhere near this, we can’t go through that horror administration show, and heartache, ever again

I don't know enough about "taxes" or "the rules", but surely AI and Crypto can somehow acts as a get out of jail free card? Right? Or get rixh now? Can't clubs just mint their own meme coins for free and rake in cash to cover expenditures? Asking for a wealthy, immoral friend.

Probably won't happen this season but next season in L1, they're fucked for a long time whatever happens. Theyll end up like Sheff Wed

In fairness to them they've got a solid asset base so they'll be fine I did l should think. They're a significantly more attractive takeover proposition than Sheffield Wednesday.
Their training ground alone costs £20m a year to run. how does a L1 club run that especially as they've spunked their parachute money away.

The problem is nobody knows what is owned by who. Even their own supporters don't know but fear the worse.

The Leppings lane stand is bloody awful & tbh I can’t understand how it’s still standing after what happened there.
Except it was the terrace not the stand. But I take your point, the whole ground is delapidated.

North Leics…...unfortunately
Leicester City v Bromley is a mouth watering prospect. If we haven’t got a game and that does become a league 1 fixture then I might go and watch that spectacle. Leicester might become my new lower league team to follow. Pint after the game with the players, being able to hear the players talking to each other on the pitch… there are a lot of positives supporting the grass roots games way down the pyramid 😎😎 Foxes never quit !!!

I hadn’t been since in the LL end since 1997-1998, until this season (one of my best mates is a Wednesday fan and I’ve normally sat with him in the home fans when we’ve played them).
I don’t think it’s changed at all since then. It’s a horrible experience.

And me.
But haven't they gone quiet of late?
It’s one of the most enjoyable aspects to all this. I’m north Leics so lots of forest and derby hammering them as well. Such a shame 😂

It does if done right - you get into that group of clubs that worse case spends every other season in the prem and then top 6 of the championship.

The Prem brings in money but you have to spend most of it and you can still fail.

A lot of clubs come down with financial situations and points deductions.
Don't spend it and be a Luton.

It's a tight rope situation and you need a money bags owner like Nottingham Forest to supplement the Premier income.

It's easy to say be a yoyo club and build. But if my memory serves me correctly that was the spin most of us sold ourselves the last time we were relegated from the Premier League.
