Leicester deducted fifteen points (41 Viewers)

[clint van damme]

Have I read that right - they’ve secured the maquarie loans against every revenue stream ????

if so they’re fucked

It also touches on something I was told today, King Power itself is in the shit.

Oh well, the players have a big night out on the piss planned for the weekend, that should cheer their supporters up!

That reminds me, someone needs to organise Lesta’s leaving do.

I think that this is the first time Le*cester would be in the bottom three even without the points deduction.

No excuses now

It will end that way. Expect them to lose every game now.

Leicesterfox was confident starting this thread. We had our own more serious version of this of course. Imagine the years of angst ahead for the fans.

The Analysis Series: Leicester City’s fall from grace

Financial and strategic analysis of Leicester City Football Club and the King Power International Group The financial evolution of Leicester City Football Club Limited across 2024/25 and 2025/26 c…

theesk.org

A few standout lines from the article:

'The £50 million facility secured against Premier League television rights (Facility e) is particularly significant. It represents an advance on future income that is now compromised by the club’s relegation to the Championship for the 2025/26 season.

Player trading is the engine room of Leicester City’s financial sustainability model. The 2024/25 accounts reveal a strategic decision to hold talent in an attempt to secure Premier League survival, a gamble that failed both sportingly and financially.

The shift from owner-funded subvention to high-interest Macquarie debt is a direct consequence of King Power’s need to preserve capital in Thailand.

Without a swift return to the Premier League or a stabilisation of King Power’s Thai operations, the data suggests that Leicester City is at significant risk of a protracted decline into the lower tiers of English football, where its current infrastructure and debt levels would be fundamentally unsustainable.'

In the shocking turn of events, their fans are somewhat congratulatory towards us.

I mean they’re not buzzing about us, but have given us respect where it’s due

They are seriously fucked, as in could go under seriously fucked.

Bromley Vs Leicester first game of the L1 season hopefully!

You wouldn't be saying that if you worked with some of the Leicester fans, like I have, took the piss in our Sisu days.

Arrogant bunch of twats.

I would.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

I would.

While I am very much enjoying seeing Leicester fall from their perch, I wouldn't want to see the club go under.

 

[viridisman]

The £50 million facility secured against Premier League television rights (Facility e) is particularly significant. It represents an advance on future income that is now compromised by the club’s relegation to the Championship for the 2025/26 season.

And is almost definitely further compromised by another relegation.

Leicester need almost every player sold and need it done last window.
To echo other comments, seriously fucked contenders in the realm of joining the instant 12 point deduction club

 

[torchomatic]

No, nor me. I wouldn't wish liquidation on any club.

They are twats but two wrongs don’t make a right. The tragedy of losing a club another EFL club can’t be repeated.

I’ll take the piss that they’ve fucked such a strong financial position but not if they go under.

Did they ever seriously wish us to go under or seize to exist? Its a rivalry and just as they had their turn to take the piss its now ours I for one dont want them to go under and would love them so suffer the same way we had

 

[sc1940]

I knew they were in serious trouble but reading that.... 100M in dept to Macquarie at over 8% interest, plus KPI seemingly not in a position to bail them out. A fire sale of a lot of their players looks certain if they get relegated, the board think the value their squad is around 200M, but who will take them on given some of their current earnings.

 

[Johhny Blue]

… well from the top of the railings to the cathedral. Counted fifteen missing this Morning ⚽️

You should come along to our game against Portsmouth and join in with 90 minutes of
“Let’s all laugh at Leicester”

We stand accused of that by some club’s fans this season, and we haven’t started yet!

 

[Lamps]

There is no envy mate I am here on the wind up. Yes it’s rubbish for us now, and deservedly so due to our incompetent owners, but you have led a boring existence compared to our history.

I love your vitriol towards us at the mere
mention. We get Sky Blues fans giving it the same on ours but they’re not met with the same anger.

You have a rivalry with Hinckley not Leicester. Just enjoy it for what it is.

Some of your fans should stop your crying at my remarks, if you didn’t respond I wouldn’t be here.

You had better go up now though

You're a strange creature. Nobody here is biting. We're laughing at you and not with you.

Yes we've been rivals because we've been in the same division, just like we've been rivals with the other sides trying to get promotion. But we're now a Prem side and you're L1. You're financially in the so won't be coming back up in a hurry. More chance of going to L2 than back to the Prem. Would put your chances at evens on your next promotion/relegation going up or down.

You're just an insignificant football club now. Even your own supporters are giving up. Rivals? You're as much as a rival
to us as Bromley. Prem winners to Bromley rivals in just 10 years

 

[Lamps]

FFP was brought in to stop another Leicester City occurring and to keep the status quo.

FFP was brought in to stop Leicester doing a Leicester. The problem is you lot cheated for years and they finally caught up with you. Your problem is they caught up with you too late. Your points deduction was so late because of your appeals that it has made no difference. You would have been relegated without a points deduction.

Please wave goodbye as you slide into oblivion. Your training ground costs more to run than our entire squad does. Administration looks on the cards.

Goodbye

 

[ThievingScally]

Do we fancy any bargains in the Leicester fire sale?

James? - oh no, he’s not actually on their books.

Monga? - supposed to be one for the future - but he’s scored (checks notes)… one goal this year.

TSx

Personally I dont want the cheating wankers to go under
Football is not the same without the rivalries

Fuck em!

Not much of a rivalry now. They're just a team up the road and nothing else.

Did anyone see them as rivals when they were in the Prem and we were L1 and L2?

I hope they don't go under. It isn't because of my family that supports them. They may have some idiots on the Internet and at games, but like all clubs the vast majority are decent people. It isn't right that a clueless owner comes along and trashes a club. It nearly happened to us so we should all understand how it feels. I genuinely feel sorry for the genuine supporters. The hangers on will be gone next season. Hopefully it just goes as far as administration and someone with more money than sense comes along. But whatever happens they are not going to come back from this very quickly. They are still on their way down and it wouldn't surprise me to see a third relegation on the bounce.

The club doesn't own the ground. The club doesn't own the training ground but has to pay countless millions for the upkeep. If you resd their forum you will see how they are held separately from the club.

Yes I laugh at their predicament but I still hope they come through it all. Let them spend the next 25 years suffering like we did. Let them try to blame everyone but themselves for breaking the rules and spending money they don't have to break them.

A few renditions of mind the gap tonight are needed then flash their result on the scoreboard confirming relegation!!

Can't sing about them as apparently they're not rivals
Ever read such bollox

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Don’t want them to go under. Do want them to spend 25 years or so in the wilderness and being forgotten about, watching joker clubs like Bournemouth enjoy the limelight.

Bollox?

What kind of rivalry do you think we will have with a side 2 levels below us? What's the chance of getting them in a cup?

Next season we're in the Prem. Our nearest rivals will be Villa. We will be their nearest rivals as they will be the only Brummie club left in the Prem. So for me the games I will be looking forward to will be against Villa. It's been too long since the last time.

You are welcome to continue your rivalry with a club that we probably won't play against for a long time if you like. There's even a chance we will never play them again with their situation being as bad as it is.

Cors they're rivals
They could be 20 leagues apart doesn't stop them being rivals

Arrogant bunch of twats.

A very mixed bunch as are all fans. Some still can’t see that there was anything wrong with them continually having millions of debt paid off by KP. Some are absolutely sucking on lemons about our success. Some have been relatively sporting.
I personally see them as partly responsible for our own demise when they failed to pay for their stadium and the price of ours shot up as a result. They have been as disgustingly bank rolled as other clubs as well….do I want to see them go under, no ! I wouldn’t mind them lingering around league 1 for a few years though.

 

[Flying Fokker]

Nice to reminisce.

 

[Marty]

Wouldn't want them to go under. Wouldn't be surprised to see them go straight through in L2. Has a triple relegation ever happened?

We could quite easily be playing them again in a couple of seasons.
