Reading on their forum they have taken loans from Macquarie against future parachute payments ( they are paid in installments not in one lump). Their expenditure way exceeds their income and they are struggling to shift the players on ridiculously high wages. They are well down the road to administration. Even without points deductions they're in serious trouble by the looks of it

Macquarie are ruthless with the loans they make too.

They won't let them get away with any dodginess, even if the EFL are.

At this point it doesn’t feel like they’ll ever get a points deduction.

Good. I wonder if Macquarie could be encouraged to call in the loans ?

This is Capology's estimation of championship wages - the green tick means verified.
Should never be taken as fact, but maybe useful as a rough guide.
See how many Leicester players are on enormous salaries !
CCFC only appear at 25k (Simms and Wright)

Possibly, or December, it might not even be concluded yet?.

I think the football authorities are waiting until Leicester are 16 points clear at the top of the table, with one game left to go in a season, so they can then knock 12 points off them.

You know it!

Although we are owed lots of monies in transfer fees - due to belng paid in instalments - so that doesn’t seem right that clubs can’t pay in one go!

Was that before you cheated to relegate Sunderland all of those years ago.

It was the collapse of ITV Digital - not
our fault and some players played for free. If you’d have given us the ten points deduction we’d have still gone up anyway.

Small businesses going out of business didn’t affect you.

I am on here, as I frequent other boards and can’t fathom the hatred you lot have for us? It’s only people living in South Leics that care about Cov.

You all get so wound up about me being here. Is it because you haven’t finished above us since 2009 or you’re only a Second Tier club when you look back though history with hardly any trophies?

We have Cov fans on our board but we don’t shout them down!

Maybe Man City cheated to stop us getting Top Four in 2020 and 2021.

This isn’t a major rivalry because like us you don’t have one.

Everytime I post, one of you bites and responds. I’m not being derogatory in anyway. Stop being so touchy and enjoy
life ⚽️

Was that before you cheated to relegate Sunderland all of those years ago - they had 45 games to avoid relegation and if they won their own final game we still couldnt have affected it.

Small businesses going out of business didn’t affect you - well you seem nice, because that's really the point isnt it when others have lost their livelihood because of your football club.

You all get so wound up about me being here. Is it because you haven’t finished above us since 2009 or you’re only a Second Tier club when you look back though history with hardly any trophies? - your history is since cheating and having an owner (who was also a cheat on his family with the woman in his helicopter). Your traditional place is tier 3 where you're heading back to after your points deduction.

This isn’t a major rivalry because like us you don’t have one - didn't stop your supposed Baby Squad trying to take the end at HR and getting their arse handed to them, marauding the streets in Earlsdon looking for it rather than at the game andtrouble originally goes back to 1973 between the two clubs when major disorder saw both clubs punished. You also claim you hate Derby & Forest, they view you as insignificant and their rivalry is with each other, so let's not pretend we're the ones creating this.

Everytime I post, one of you bites and responds. I’m not being derogatory in anyway. Stop being so touchy and enjoy
life ⚽️ - we know you're a WUM and your points need addressing mainly because you post shite. You're like the kid at school who tries to hang onto the cool gang, but at least they usually have some redeeming features like humour or sweets or money. Your talent is using six fingers on your claw to keep your sister warm at night.

I have family who moved to the north of the county and wearing a Cov shirt around there doesn't exactly go unnoticed.

I'm aware. Monga has a conditional deal that has already been agreed and signed which means once his youth contract expires on his 17th birthday, it will automatically convert into a pro contract.

So the only way they're losing him is if they're significantly compensated.

To be fair, a good percentage on here fight among themselves, so you were never going to get an easy ride. At least you're not outright antagonistic, so I'll cast my vote for you to visit our forum (unless you beat us on Saturday...in which case...)

Thanks. Probably put the odd comment in but after what you went though with Sisu et, why shouldn’t you have your ‘day on the sun?’
