Spoke to someone (has since left the club) fairly high up at Leicester in the summer.
He wouldn't give too much away but did call them a sinking ship.
He said they are expecting a points deduction.
Said it would likely be 9-12 but probably reduced to 6 on appeal.

They are going to get away with 6 aren't they!!!!!!

I'm going for 9 pts from the Premier league reduced to 6 on appeal. Then 9 pts from the EFL reduced to 6 on appeal.

Chances are they will break them again this season which should feck them up next season as well. 🤘👋

My personal opinion is if they did get 9 to 12 they wouldn't get it reduced.
They've failed to co-operate at every turn which I think would scupper any grounds they had for appeal but that's just my guess

Even a 6 point deduction though would make it incredibly unlikely that they could get to 90 points

Are they covered by the non payment of wages clause, or is that only relevant to players?
However you look at it, it's shit this close to Christmas not to be paid, but fuck me, Lesta have history in leaving debts unpaid.

There are ordinary people caught up in non-playing staff not being paid (if true). Football rivalry is one thing but that is nothing to celebrate.
Who is celebrating?

It just shows how bad their finances have got. They already mortgaged the last of their Prem money to keep going this season. They were stuck with average players on massive wages that nobody was interested in. They had to go up this season or were going to be in big trouble.

They may be in 8th but they're 3 points off 6th and only 3 points off 16th with a points deduction overdue. Just a 6 point deduction would finish their season.

Reading their forum, it sounds like they've changed the payment date for wages to the last day of the month to bring in line with the rest of the company group.

The anger is because they were given 24 hours notice rather than being told weeks ago.

Was just going to add the same!

They are getting paid, but just on a later date in the month!!

That’s appalling with no notice if you were expecting payment pre Christmas . Absolute piss poor HR practice .

A lot of Leicester fans posting they know someone from within the club who isn’t getting paid - if it was one would probs have ignored but seems to be a lot

On about it on their forum as well

That's shit if true, this time of year as well.

Strong rumours doing the rounds on X tonight that Leicester City are not able to fulfill non-playing staff wages till the New Year

Cashflow is likely a real problem for them. It seems their chairman isn't funding the club anymore it's all coming from a bank out of Australia (Macquarie) leveraged against PL payments and parachute payments. My guess is they're also looking to bring forward transfer instalments to essentially cover operational costs.

I'd imagine his hope is that the players which have 6 months left on their deals will be moved on in Jan....but who's realistically matching those wages.

If unsuccessful, I wouldn't be surprised if Monga or Fatawu are sold last minute to see them through until the end of the season.
