Hopefully!
Hopefully!They’ll end up in the play-offs and lose out, again.
No, they were already mortgaging future income before he died and their wage bill was growing out of control. He died in October 2018, their external debt at year end June 2019 was £55m. They'd committed to spend £90m on the new training ground / academy which in reality they could not afford.The father was a decent owner and proved you can polish a turd
His son doesn't have a clue
Are you mad?In the long run I don't see why not,and I'm not advocating for them but I certainly don't want them to lose.
Terrible owners do kill clubs, but so do transfer fees if you can't afford them or if you've paid well over the odds for the wrong players.
The latter often facilitated by the former admittedly.
Have they got terrible owners? It was all good when they won the Prem and then spent a few years in the top half of it, later winning the FA cup too.
Their owners were never realistically going to be able to sell trying to compete for mid table post 2016.
Looking at it further I think they probably were guilty of over-doing it post 2016.Fair. Was more that’s why they’re in danger of relegation and terrible from a football finance perspective. But yeah even their overspending has paid off really.
Don't know why either of you would hope for this, given that it's 6 less points you'd get in the Prem, but ok.Hopefully!
Depends if the hoodoo gets promoted with usDon't know why either of you would hope for this, given that it's 6 less points you'd get in the Prem, but ok.
The two aren't mutually exclusive you know.Its their cope for us beating them and outplaying them in the main games recently.
It prevents them accepting we are better than them, and they just put it down to superstition.
No chanceThe two aren't mutually exclusive you know.
With the most recent game as an example, as it's easiest to remember, I can accept you got your tactics spot on against us and executed them better than we did, which in the main, along with the penalty (which was perfectly legit but one of those things) and us making a mistake with one of our CB starting selections, resulted in the win for you.
I also have a feeling that even without all of these things, we'd have then found another way to lose, involving an OG, Brynn having an absolute howler, a refereeing decison or whatever. It just transpired that with your approach to the game and sticking to the gameplan well, coupled with clinical finishing, that you didn't need that extra help.
You can trace back Leicester’s decline to those two final day losses when they could’ve had CL football. Win one of those and their fortune changes dramatically.Leicester have terrible owners who broke the rules and are getting punished for it. Sheff We’d have terrible owners. We had terrible owners. Terrible owners kill football clubs, transfer fees don’t.
The ground now doesn't belong to Leicester. The training ground that costs them an absolute fortune to run doesn't belong to them either. They now belong to the owning group. They put someone who is clueless in charge and he is still there. They signed poor players for the Prem on massive wages without a clause on them reducing on relegation and are even poor in the Championship. They have already spent all the money due to them from player sales and next seasons parachute payment and are looking good for League One next season.Have they got terrible owners?

“It didn’t matter that you were better than us because you would’ve won anyway”The two aren't mutually exclusive you know.

Its just cope.“It didn’t matter that you were better than us because you would’ve won anyway”
Wot?
Except it's not.Its just cope.
You just said even if we didnt play well we would have won.Except it's not.
Cope would be if we thought we played you off the park and that we'd have won comfortably if it wasn't for the hoodoo.
We know that wasn't the case.
Please. There's no hoodoo.Except it's not.

I would class them as poor owners.
Indeed I did. It's hardly a coping mechanism though as acknowledging you were the side with the better strategy and execution of it on the day isn't an issue. Only if it was would it then be a coping mechanism.You just said even if we didnt play well we would have won.
Hoodoo is a load of nonsense and just coincidence.
If its Millwall that come up instead we have a similar record maybe even betterDon't know why either of you would hope for this, given that it's 6 less points you'd get in the Prem, but ok.
Would you consider swapping the GK or is it even possible?Indeed I did. It's hardly a coping mechanism though as acknowledging you were the side with the better strategy and execution of it on the day isn't an issue. Only if it was would it then be a coping mechanism.
If coincidence as you claim, It's quite a mammoth coincidence though, don't you think?
7 games all going one way home and away, irrespective of different managers, different form, different players, different approaches, different positions in the league table, all the stuff that normally effects a game, etc. What would be the cumulative odds of THAT usually?
It's not even as if it's a derby game or there's any kind of rivalry to explain your performance levels raising especially for every one of those games either. Granted we've been fairly near each other in some of those games but not all. We're generally 2 clubs of similar size, with roughly the same history, who are nowhere near each other geographically.
Who has though? Maybe QPR who breached FFP but are very much still about as a Championship club. Maybe Fulham who are now established. Maybe Forest and Sunderland who it’s paid off for.
The far bigger risk is the one we’ve just taken: spending tens of millions we don’t have to get promoted. But that horse has bolted.

I cant believe that after several trips to deepdale im sorryYou just said even if we didnt play well we would have won.

Recruitment at that level of spending has to be spot on, no room for error really. Every signing is a risk so hope we stick to signing players that have good attitudes but are good enough to keep us up. It’ll be very hard
The same owners that won them the Premier League etc.Leicester have terrible owners who broke the rules and are getting punished for it. Sheff We’d have terrible owners. We had terrible owners. Terrible owners kill football clubs, transfer fees don’t.
It gets forgotten about now obviously, but our record on Teesside before the Play Off semi was actually pretty dire, we had never won a game The Riverside before that and hadn't won at Ayresome Park since the first season of the Premier LeagueWe have a winning record but up until the recent burst of results over the last 3 years it was pretty much neck and neck, not enough to be considered a hoodoo at all...

Wrong. The ground and the training ground are owned by Leicester City Football Club Limited. The arrangement is no different in reality to what we now have with the CBS.

Strachan also said the best of the best from Scottish football would be able to dominate the championship and was worth splurging a few years of parachute money on.We didn’t beat Aston Villa at their ground I think for 60 years. Then we did. Strachan at the time said it’s just nonsense the players on the day weren’t good enough until one day they were
