Leicester At It Yet Again! (24 Viewers)

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

The problem Leicester have with Monga is that he hasn't actually signed a pro deal with them yet and part of the reason he was fast tracked into their first team was to avoid losing him to someone like Man City. That was insight given to me by some Leicester STH.

Funnily enough, the guy seems to know George Shepard's dad or something because he told me a) Man U were interested and b) he'd sign a pro contract at Cov before both pieces of news broke. Frankly, I took it with a pinch of salt.

Monga's youth deal apparently automatically turns in to a pro deal in July 2026 so Leicester are pretty secure all things considered.

He's a chip they categorically won't want to cash in though unless things are looking glummer than they already are.

I mean this is better than not getting paid at all but still completely unacceptable, what a shit thing to happen to people at this time of year

And they wouldn’t be doing it if they had the cash to pay. So I suspect they are heavily reliant on January player sales to afford Dec salary payments (paid late) and to get through the remainder of the season.

Perhaps we should turn your Leicester mate into one of our very own ITK's . He seems to know more than our lot.

It's a coincidence I think, without prying into the details... It sounds like playground talk amongst parent(s) which is why I took it with a pinch of salt.

Is that not just a gentleman's agreement? You can't sign a pro contract until you turn 17 so he probably could go to someone else on the cheap.

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.

Anyone got any updates on when Leicester's points deduction hearing will take place

I believe the first of the two is either ongoing or finished, just waiting the verdict if it's the latter.

No excuse for not paying nonplaying staff. One player's wages would most likely cover the lot. Be much better paying all of them and then paying the players 90% with them deferring 10% to receive something like after a player sale in Jan or after season ticket sales. Really odd way to operate and knowing the news it would cause too.

In fact if i was one of the players, who are most likely all millionaires, I'd have them clubbing together to make sure the staff got paid. At a time when the fans are against them it would show an 'all in it together' mentality and help unite them.

Wednesday players did something akin to this.
I don't think the current crop at Leicester are that way inclined from what I've heard.

No financial issue....except the glaring red flags which have been fairly obvious for the best part of a year now.

Yet Leicester fans keep babbling on about PSR.

 

[Mcbean]

They should be immediately be deducted 21 points for six finger handling

Didn't realise that, fair play to them. Especially when a lot of those are only more junior or lesser paid. Leicester have players with Premiership wages so small beer to them.

Reading their forum, it sounds like they've changed the payment date for wages to the last day of the month to bring in line with the rest of the company group.

The anger is because they were given 24 hours notice rather than being told weeks ago.

This happened to me when I worked for a big company. It created all sorts of havoc between HR and payroll systems and then pay was delayed a month.

Cheating irrelevant wankers

Wonder why now. Surely the worst time to do it. I know its end of year but they mustve knew the shit they'd get

Three PSR charges have all been heard now. Verdict to be delivered late this year or very early next.

 

[covcity4life]

I remember being jealous when their owner brought doughnuts and beer for every fan on last day of season

Now im probably richer than that football club lol

I feel sorry for their genuine fans. I can't believe fans of football would want another teams fans to suffer like we have

Genuine yes. But when the vast majority of comments are like what we had off them during our dark days and what the vast majority of the comments we still get from them are I struggle to have any kind of affinity with them.

 

[David O'Day]

As all football fans should I'm petty as fuck so fuck them, they took great delight in cheating a construction business so if they do go bust it's karma.

 

[TomRad85]

Cheating cunts. Let the club rot.

No you don't.

They'll get away with the minimum deductions after appeals. The appeals will likely last past the end of this season, so no deductions this. Would be A Typical that they sneak into the Play Offs and get promoted, meaning any deductions next season means very little against the money they make via promotion.

 

[rob9872]

Fuck em. I actually thought the banners were funny too, but we all had to pretend we were outraged and didn't agree with them.

that's the spirit

Even if they do appeal it won't take long for the case to be reviewed and for a decision to be made. Pretty sure Forest's appeal only took around a month / 6 weeks. The points deduction, whatever that looks like, will be imposed this season.

Fuck ‘em. Loads of their fans would have been happy for us to have gone out of business.

And fairly sure Evertons deduction was,applied straight away and a couple of point returned following appeal.

Exactly. The only reason Forest's appeal probably took that long is their drug baron owner probably found out who was on the appeal board and tried to kidnap their wives and kids.

 

[StrettoBoy]

There is no need for the club to have done this before Christmas. They could have waited until into the new year.

I was once a partner in a firm where we had to do this after acquiring another practice which had a different salary payment date to us. We had to move the date in the acquired firm back by about a fortnight. To minimise any adverse effect on the staff we did it over about 7 months by moving the date back a couple of days each month until the dates aligned.

Leicester City could have done something similar.

Yeah you're right. I remember that now.

I presume you're on the wind up, but they wouldn't be suffering like we did.

They will not have to play outside Leicester or rent from Leicester Tigers, and they will remain in the Championship, with one of the highest paid squad of players in the League. They might not be winning the PL or the FA Cup anytime soon, but they will not be falling into League 2 either.
