I was watching the highlights and assumed that Sky had messed the audio up, it was odd.
Apparently they are that fed up the away end barely celebrated their equaliser last night
No but they've taken loans against them alreadyDon't they lose parachute payments if relegated
As much as I want to see Leicester punished as severely as possible, it just wouldn't seem fair to remove a clubs parachute payments after getting relegated again, even if that would likely be down to poor self-management. You'd still likely have some players on very high wages that you'd be trying to shift while they'd have even lower income to service that in an even lower league. Seems a good way to ensure clubs go out of business.Consider yourself corrected.
I believe that the only way the payments stop early is if they get promoted back, or go into administration.
There is no action if they get relegated again, receive a points sanction or (rather annoyingly) breach PSR rules.

Now, whether parachute payments should even be a thing, and whether we need other, fairer, ways to safeguard teams relegated from the ridiculousness that is the PL, is a completely different question. But if you get parachute payments in the Championship, you should still get them in L1 (or even L2) as well.
They won a Premier League, don't you know!Very strange fans reaction to getting a late equaliser away from home at a team five places higher in the table.
Sure might have wanted a win but a draw away is normally considered OK-ish.
They don’t like to talk about it though.They won a Premier League, don't you know!
2bh I would be. They’re one of 6 team to lift the top flight in 33 years and unlike the other 5 didn’t outspend the other 19.They don’t like to talk about it though.
I was joking, obviously a huge achievement.2bh I would be. They’re one of 6 team to lift the top flight in 33 years and unlike the other 5 didn’t outspend the other 19.
Let’s not pretend it’s nothing
I don't think you have to pretend it's nothing to see how entitled it's made elements of their fanbase, and to mock them for that.2bh I would be. They’re one of 6 team to lift the top flight in 33 years and unlike the other 5 didn’t outspend the other 19.

Think they mentioned next year 2027, the 40th anniversaryI don’t know why don’t make more of the fact we’re effectively joint-winners of the Anglo-Scottish Challenge? Bit wordy for a song maybe?
Wasn’t there some kind of campaign to get the 2nd leg played?
They cheated many times, Fcuk em.2bh I would be. They’re one of 6 team to lift the top flight in 33 years and unlike the other 5 didn’t outspend the other 19.

The TLDR summary of this is ultimately what plenty have already said and know: it all largely comes back to our horrendous mismanagement of the wage bill.
He said the year Rodgers took us down we had the largest discrepancy between our income and our wage bill (£116 spent on wages for every £100 earned) in the history of the Premier League. For context, think he said UEFA recommend no more than 70 for every 100?
He also says that you can be almost certain by analysing our wage bill and the contracts that he's seen as an insider that the contracts we hand out to players are skewed hugely towards paying an up front, guaranteed salary whilst the vast, vast majority of other clubs give a reasonably small basic pay that's supplemented by huge bonuses.
So a player at Leicester will have a massive basic wage with a small bonus for performance if we stay up, whilst a player at say Bournemouth will be on a much lower basic wage but with much larger incentive bonuses for staying in the league or scoring goals, keeping clean sheets etc.
All of which explains why we're stuck in this constant cycle of PSR struggles because we're still in this 4 or 5 year contract cycle after we let Rodgers massively over spend on rubbish and let Rudkin negotiate all their contracts.
It also explains why we can never get rid of players whilst other clubs find it easier to sell, because ours are happily sitting here for years on massive basic pay even if they don't play. And why we've got a squad of players that look like they don't give a shit if we win or lose.
He also amusingly points out that in the first 4 years we were back in the Premier League (the two before and after we won it) we made profit which he says is almost unprecedented. There's two ways you can look at that that's interesting, it's the time Vichai was running the club not his son. It's also the time when the vast majority of the players contracted would have been signed before Rudkin was the DOF.
Prob the worst fanbase in the entire football league.
Yoo hooLeicester Fox, Hackney Fox The Silence is deafening.
sorry, can't can't hear you down thereYoo hoo
All for it.
Jordan James set for a month on the sidelines, one of their only decent players
who says you won't go down again next season ?Final Score says it will be ten points. Loving it!
Two divisions will separate us next season but we still made it three in 2017/18 ⚽️
Continue to live in the past as much as you like. I'm old enough to say I was there in 87. But other than the record books the most important time is the present. Presently we're looking good for promotion and your future isn't looking good.Final Score says it will be ten points. Loving it!

Don't really care mate.What was better - your post match fracas with Fat Frano against Southampton or our bunch ofs against Oxford today?
Just asking for a friend!
I’m wondering how teams fair once they end up in the bottom tier?Continue to live in the past as much as you like. I'm old enough to say I was there in 87.

PUSB and good luck for your future in League 1. Oh how the mighty fall
