Let's just say , I think it would be an unwise thing to do.
Exactly. Was reading an article earlier today, would link it if I could remember where it was, that said Leicester winning the league will be a nightmare for clubs like Southampton and Norwich now. There will be a huge expectation for them to be able to do similar and increased pressure to pump in silly amounts of money.
People are going on like they were all free transfers nobody else wanted!
So with SISU still here that's us out of the running then !They've shown that it can be done (if you find somebody willing to spend hundreds of millions of pounds).
Ignore wages? Ignore the fact the Thais have bought and disposed of players who are not in the current squadTheir first XI cost 23mil, including frees and bargain buys. Yes the owners have spent money behind the scenes to stabilise the club, but the 11 blokes on the pitch cost the same amount of money than 1 Callum Wilson is rumoured to be valued at. If anything they have proven that you dont have to spend hundreds of millions to get success.

For the year to May 2014 they made a loss of £20.8m, £34m for year to May 2013 and £29.7m for 2012 and £15.2m the year before. Who has covered those losses?Where do you think their wage bill would be then? I can garuntee it is lower than Newcastle and Villa who went down. Wes Morgan will be earning less than Joleon Lescott and Coloccini. Vardy will be earning less than Mitrovic and Scott Sinclair.
They are a bunch of players who have played well beyond themselves and as a club have not broken the bank in the quest for glory.
Teams Like City and Chlesea whn they had their cash injections broke the bank and required instant success for their stratergy to work, Leicester havent done that. If they had finish 18th this season they would still be at a sound financial standing for the future.

Not sure what your point is there, it doesnt relate to this season, as I said earlier if you read the thread "Yes the owners have spent money behind the scenes to stabilise the club", Im not disputing that, they went into administration, I am not talking about anything behind the scenes. What I am saying is that they have done something that has seemed impossible, they have assembled a squad by spending minimal fees on players and through good coaching, a strong work ethic, team unity and a little bit of luck they have pi$$ed the league by an absolute margin in the end.
Are you suggesting that Leicester have bought the title?
LCFC are already in Coventry, they have junior Foxes doing coaching sessions at schools.
I'd imagine Cov fans who detest anything to do with LCFC. would be like a red rag to a bull wouldn't it ?
Re the LCFC hopper , I wouldn't see him as a hero myself . I'd put him in the same category as those that went inside sixfields.
Wouldn't surprise me at all.LCFC are already in Coventry, they have junior Foxes doing coaching sessions at schools.
