Does anyone foresee Leicester actually avoiding relegation this upcoming season anyhow? Regardless of this appeal?

They absolutely can, they haven’t looked as terrible as you’d think they would. Drew with Tottenham and could’ve won, should’ve knicked a draw with Villa.

Depending on other teams getting point deductions, There are at least 3 teams who could be worse than Leicester this season, especially if they can strengthen in January unimpeded by this FFP/PSR stuff.

I really hope @Bad Boy corrects the title of this thread soon. It’s really bothering me. Probably more than the cheating.

Ah. I hadn't really followed PL since early 2000's. Just looked at the table after 3 games and does look like at least for now Everton and Wolves are shipping loads of goals. Did Leicester sign anyone special? Didn't they lose DH or am I mistaken?

You said “I genuinely wonder how many of our fans would be comfortable had it have been us.”

the answer if we get around some poorly written arbitrary rules designed to keep the big clubs on top and win a league title then yes - I’d be comfortable with it

Yeah Dewsbury-Hall went to Chelsea but was their only big departure, they spent about £70+ million and signed some decent players like Skipp, Edouard and Ayew to add to what was already a relegation battle quality team they came up with.

Time will tell, but they don’t look a bad survival team at all, lots of experience with a decent manager aswell. Without point deductions I’d definitely favour them to stay up.

What I said was “truer to what going to football was supposed to be”, that’s not ‘glowing terms’, but I guess that’s just you with your repetitive lies about what people have actually said once again.

The issues surrounding FFP and PL parachute payments needs reviewing urgently.
If you’re a free marketer then the scrapping of any restrictions on spending makes sense.
If you want to provide equality of opportunity, then you’ll favour restrictions on spending to exist .
The current situation is a mess with the spending rules favouring 6 clubs and those clubs yo-yoing between PL & Championship.
I would favour a scrapping of parachute payments & a single tv deal covering PL & EFL with revenue split 50% to PL , 30% to Championship, 15% L1 & 5% to L2.

Depends on the way you wish to restrict. If it’s based on revenue - we’ll never be able to compete.

I actually favour the anchoring idea being discussed for the prem everyone can only spend up to 4x the bottom club’s revenue - limits spending - but allows growth if wanted

Honestly mate it has been.

PL win, FA Cup win, CL quarter finals - never in our wildest dreams!

And then getting relegated on purpose just to win another trophy and beat the rules.

Super stuff
Click to expand...

Honestly, as a fan it must be great, but it's the "shoestring budget PL winners" that Sky etc push. You've had millions and millions pumped into the club by your late owner, plus all the other shady shite you've gotten away with when other clubs get points taken away etc.

Same with the Cherry shagging bucket shakers spending £40mill on a player when they get gates of 10k. (I know they sold Wankey, but they were at it in the Championship and PL before last couple of seasons)

Its not though is it? In many ways its worse as clubs are massively over spending with minimised additional revenues

Forest were penalised because of timing not cheating, in fact the very opposite to Incester. If they'd sold Brennan Johnson two weeks earlier they'd have met the rules but because they wanted a fair price for their asset they were punished. Really harsh as Spurs knew that and why they tried to get him on the cheap initially.
Click to expand...
We sold Maddison on the cheap to try and meet the rules. If we had waited another couple of weeks then we’d have got more for him. Barnes and Dewsbury Hall both went for less than they were worth.

If you want to kick off it should be at the rules that are in place to protect the big six.
You could have a go at Everton who should have been deducted points the season they overspent which would have seen them down and us stay up.

We missed out twice on CL football by coming 5th. Had Man City been charged earlier …….

We have had some breaks with decisions over the years but we weren’t in a position for promotion by cheating when we went bankrupt. We were more than ten points clear so if the deduction had existed we would still have gone up.
Had you been anywhere near the top of a table at a similar time then perhaps you’d have a history of winning things like us.
You’ve just decided that even though you, allegedly, don’t care about us that you’ll sit and be jealous and snipe rather than realise who the true villains are.
Nice to see there are still some decent posters on here.

I think most football fans would agree with this but the PL would never vote for it and viewing figures for Leicester v Wolves, although poor, are still considerably higher than Doncaster v Orient. It’s the premier that brings in the money.

Each to their own. As I’ve said here, if we whored out to a foreign tycoon who then proceeded to use the club as a marketing gimmick, my interest in it would drop considerably. Not many would agree, granted

You ‘whored out’ to SISU and that probably had a lot of foreign tycoon money involved.

FFP is horseshit and should be dropped. Only have to go back a few years back when technically we should have been kicked out the league for not having a home ground.

Remember how we took the piss out of Walsall when we played at Northampton but had Callum Wilson and Leon Clarke up front - they were arguing how we were passing FFP with crowds of 1k
Click to expand...

How should we "technically have been kicked out of the league" - we had a ground to play in, what advantage did we gain from that?

Callum Wilson was our own academy product most probably on a few hundred quid a week, and we had to sell Leon Clarke in January. Again, what advantage did we gain from this?

It went to a league vote on whether to remove us. Whilst in Northampton there was a rule we had to be a certain mileage form the city centre

the reason we sold Clarke was because wolves tapped him up. We weren’t under threat to sell him. We had Murphy, Christie, Baker on Championship wages - we had a bigger wage bill than a lot of teams whilst averaging 2k
