Could Leicester go bust?

[Qoelet]

Quite remarkable that a club of that size with the squad they have, has managed to mess things up so royally.

As Leonard Coen said, 'you want it darker?' Seems Leicester fans do.

Yep agree, it's insane, I'm not sure I believe the 40 million, it could be true, there is a golf course there and none of its open to the public so it brings no money in.

I’d hate to see how much that family are spending on sports, Leicester are costing millions a month along with the training centre, they have a load of average to good race horses at top trainers an then have a huge interest in polo which doesn’t seem like a cheap sport.

It’s got a 9 hole golf course for some reason

It was an 18 hole golf club before Leicester bought it. The owners turfed out the membership and sold up. A mate of mine in the village next door was a member, I played there a few times.

The ECB could buy it... Not too far from Loughborough.

Worrying how quickly things can turn around.
Pleased we’ve got KLD who seems to be massively switched on.

Just see a clip of Ayew on Sky. He looks like he's eaten a couple of slabs of lard

I'm laughing because they were smug when they were PL Champions and tried to take the Mickey when they came to the SOL.

Remember that, singing champions of England you’ll never sing that to us. That went well for them.

They look in serious bother. They will need to sell the entire squad and the under 21's and bring about 18 free transfers in on the lowest wages possible. Mothball the training ground and lay off hundreds of staff. The total wage bill last season was £154M. Even with £185M income they still made a loss of £70M, they are also nuts deep into that Aussie bank for £100M in loans. King Power are skint now too.

 

[Haggis Heed]

That’s bleak reading for LCFC! They’re going to have a dozen or more ‘Rodwells’, players whose wages are unsustainable for league one and who no one will be willing to match elsewhere so they’ll stay and bleed them dry.

I have honestly never heard of Matt Targett from the mags. Some minging salaries in there, just shows you what a magical season we had last season on a ridiculous budget.

Mariankis probably licking his lips to get that on a good price

 

[Haggis Heed]

Also just saw they're playing Bromley next season! I don't want to laugh at any club's plight like this as we know how it feels...but that is pretty funny.

It's in the 2025 accounts at historic cost of just shy of £115M

Squad they have is awful

Be like the grudge match between Spurs v Stevenage

 

[Antidotes]

Quite sad it all stems from that awful helicopter crash but even still this is mental mismanagement since
