Quite something to gain an unfair advantage by cheating the financial rules, having the highest wage bill outside the 'Big 6' & still getting relegated

This? It’s time for changes at the top at Leicester City — The Fosse Way@Leicesterfox
Some of us have genuine question: what's the foxes' fans thinking about this (so far at least) discussions or articles about this hypothetical points deductions et AL. I'd imagine your insights could help illuminate our understandings
They are. I was quite taken aback.Interesting reading the comments,mostly sanguine!
The city of Leicester has a population of 367k, it is bigger than Coventry at 344k.As someone who was born in Coventry and lived in Leicester next door to one of your old Directors (his name escapes me now but was a twat) in Stoneygate, I can categorically state Leicester is not a bigger city than Coventry in terms of population or acreage. Leicester is a county town so has a good catchment, but so has Coventry with a north and south Warwickshire area that is massive. Both towns have identical A, B, C etc population profiles. Although I have not lived in Leicester since the late 90s, at that time, most of the asian and afro-carribean people I worked with supported Man U and Arsenal. Coventry has a lower population percentage from these groups. Leicester got lucky with the way they avoided points deductions and got a lot of money when it was most helpful.
You winning the Prem was awesome, but you are only bigger than Coventry at the moment in terms of football history and current performance. The world turns and these things change very quickly. Just look at Ipswich and Stoke.
Yes it is, but if you add up the urban areas and commuter towns there's probably not a lot in it, Warwickshire a lovely county same as Leicestershire, Coventry not so much same as Leicester although they do have a better City Centre for shopping especiallyThe city of Leicester has a population of 367k, it is bigger than Coventry at 344k.

Nothing gets the blood going on here like a good old fashioned population debate. Up there with “CCFC promotion vs England WC win” and “Should Dabo have taken a penalty” as all-time topics.This is fascinating stuff.
Didn't we have a similarly dull discussion with regard to Ipswich a few weeks ago that went on for pages?This is fascinating stuff.
If you count Rugby (100,000) Leamington and Warwick (100,000) Nuneaton and Bedworth (100,000) then we are well over 650,000View attachment 34549
The contiguous urban area of Leicester is clearly a fair bit larger than that of Coventry, the population of the cities proper aren’t to dissimilar (both around 350.000 ) but the urban area population of Leicester is approaching 600,000 where as Coventry‘s is approximately 400,000.
Well if we throw in Birmingham as well, we’ll probably top 2 million.If you count Rugby (100,000) Leamington and Warwick (100,000) Nuneaton and Bedworth (100,000) then we are well over 650,000
I was on about Coventry commuter towns within about an 8 mile distance, it would be like adding Derby and Nottingham on to leicesterWell if we throw in Birmingham as well, we’ll probably top 2 million.
That is horrendous!!! I live in Countesthorpe and I'm surrounded by King Power shirt wankers, every Saturday they're waiting for the bus into the city, and the song about 'interbred' is not far off. My neighbour next door is a 'tv' supporter but still wears the shirt!!View attachment 34549

I know you were, but the outskirts of Birmingham are about the same distance as the outskirts of Rugby.I was on about Coventry commuter towns within about an 8 mile distance, it would be like adding Derby and Nottingham on to leicester
It’s amazing the subjects that keep people awake at night!!This is fascinating stuff.
It’s almost noon here, not sure what time it is in the far-out commuter towns.It’s amazing the subjects that keep people awake at night!!
When I moved from Husbands Bosworth to north Leics I stopped seeing them about. Near Kegworth it’s mainly Forest and Derby…. Just the occasional bin dipping Leics fan.That is horrendous!!!

Bin dippers are exclusively red Merseysiders.When I moved from Husbands Bosworth to north Leics I stopped seeing them about. Near Kegworth it’s mainly Forest and Derby…. Just the occasional bin dipping Leics fan.
I wouldn't count them though as they are quite independent of Coventry whereas Leicester is the centre of the subregionIf you count Rugby (100,000) Leamington and Warwick (100,000) Nuneaton and Bedworth (100,000) then we are well over 650,000
Yeah something like that. Don’t you lot just throw cats in bins? Asking for a friend ⚽️Bin dippers are exclusively red Merseysiders.
Whereas Leicester are just puss filled festering incesters who lick mould off their walls.
My parents moved to northern Leicestershire. There’s loads of them there, unfortunately.When I moved from Husbands Bosworth to north Leics I stopped seeing them about. Near Kegworth it’s mainly Forest and Derby…. Just the occasional bin dipping Leics fan.
We’re quite well supported tbf. Also many near Peterborough too. Rugby has many Leicester fans as well ⚽️My parents moved to northern Leicestershire. There’s loads of them there, unfortunately.
Thats what you do with cats Leicester fox...bin them.Yeah something like that. Don’t you lot just throw cats in bins? Asking for a friend ⚽️
In Norwich, the Ipswich fans were known as the Bin Men for a few years. Came about from an episode of Suffolk based antique drama Lovejoy. One of Ian Mcshanes cohorts went looking in a bin for something, found an Ipswich scarf and promptly put it round his neckBin dippers are exclusively red Merseysiders.

Yep despise them too mate. Much prefer dogs anyhowThats what you do with cats Leicester fox...bin them.
Don't know what's worse-the cat or the owners.
They stand in a litter tray, piss and shit and then they're allowed to walk all over work surfaces, furniture, carpets and worst of all sit on you.
In the bin for me.
