Karma has taken such along time to come good on this - and in the meantime they have silverware they would not have won if the company that own them had not been allowed to ride out scandal after scandal. That cant be changed...but a period of spiralling downward should remove any lingering arrogance and superiority their fans have been strutting around with for 10 years or more. I want them to come through and hopefully with a bit more recognition, respect and understanding of the shite we went through. The Midlands needs the old Leicester back.....and in the meantime lets just sit back and watch the absolute mess they have got themselves in unfold.

Tbf it isn't Karma, Karma doesn't exist. I prefer to call it "Delayed Comeuppance". The only teams to not yet have had it are Man City and Real Madrid. There is only so long you can get away with the things they do before it catches up with you. The difference with lesser teams is they don't have the financial power to skirt around it for as long. If you break the rules it will bite you in the arse eventually, whoever you are.

Edit* Real Madrid did get a transfer ban

Disagree. I’d like to see them given the occasional bit of hope every now and then, but then it get snatched away, just to make things that bit worse.

How can a club that 10 years ago had a great future ... money rolling in from all angles ... the envy of many clubs manage to fu#k it up so badly that Dyche is even being considered as manager, I know the reasons but can't fathom how they let it happen without anyone taking any notice

Another deluded f*ckwit

Drew the following season I think. Marlon king scored in a 1-1 draw. Unless I imagined it, I was a mess that day.

You need to see it from an outside perspective to understand. The fiasco at your club has helped me to understand why the wife enjoys soaps on TV. It means nothing to you in real life but you can't wait to see what happens next. Been an avoid viewer since your club thought it was OK not to pay up charities as part of the process of not paying for your ground. Despicable club.

I have a very dear friend in his mid 70s who has supported you Filberts all his life and has been a season ticket holder for donkeys years.

I had to sit him down and explain why there is such a strength of feeling against Leicester City from us and the wider community.

I was at the crisp bowl as it was known back then in October 2002 when Birchenhall was pleading for money as you were lurching towards financial ruin.

Some Coventry fans were giving it large when Birchenhall piped up with something along the lines of ' don't mock Coventry fans, administration could easily happen to you' or words to that effect.

The end result was you entered administration before the points deduction was ruled, and subsequently you escaped punishment and you were promoted back into the Prem that season, whereas a few years later we did go into administration we had points deducted twice, along with many other clubs that fell foul (Luton 30 points for example) of their financial woes often with catastrophic consequences.

You got off scot-free and I'd hazard a guess that the little businesses that supplied your club with all manner of services that were owed money never got their recompense.

And you've been dodging bullets ever since with clever people finding ways of avoiding this and that to achieve your aims.

Is it then little wonder that few people outside of Leicester have any sympathy for your present predicament and your lot are universally disliked?

Back in the day the attraction of soap operas was that generally speaking the bad guys eventually got their comeuppance.

Well most of us are hoping you get yours.

Very soon.

Forgot about the 30 points deduction for Luton, expecting the same for that lot up the M69.

From Lesta site again ;-

I personally don’t think we will get anything applied to this season. So I can see this dragging out to the point where the PL either have to just settle on giving us a big fine and potentially take points off us from the PL season just gone.

There’s too many grey areas, and plus theEPL have rewritten the rules to have another go? That can’t wash surely. If an independent panel actually dish out punishment for this will be completely unjust. I know we’ve breached, and that’s obvious, but as much as we want to bash the club, inconsistent rules and regulations has to be addressed….. what should be happening is the PL and the EFL need to be told that their rules and regulations aren’t fit for purpose, and should be re written, and then applied from the moment the new rules are accepted by all.

You couldn’t do this in criminal law, so why should you be able to do it in civil settings?

It’s a mess from all quarters, the crooks of the situation is football is ****ed.
