Accurate

It would have been a disaster if they had failed to get promoted.
Another chunk of Prem cash won't help us avoid sanctions but hopefully it will prevent a complete freefall. We may get instantly relegated but we will clear one of the 3 bad rolling years of debt.
If we can't splash out next season we should still be in a better position in 2 or 3 years time once we are clear of the stupid financial constrictions.
 
So we’ll need 46/48 points to stay up next season.

If they can maximise the sales and be savvy in the transfer market we may take it to February half term before relegation is confirmed.

We always needed to rebuild anyway.
 
We’ve no idea about the deduction amount. Also if Ipswich go up I think they’ll 100% go down. The cut off this season will be very low. Someone’s probably going to survive on 31 points max
 
I think Brentford could struggle next season.
IT will be off and I wouldn't be surprised if Thomas Frank looked for new pastures.
He's done a brilliant job with them but maybe it's getting to the point where he can't take them any further.

I think they’ll be better off without Toney, it’s been a circus around him this season. Brentford is the kind of club that needs the distractions brought on by him.
 
My worry is that if we’re relegated again the EFL will look to punish us for this season. When will it end? And the EPL will not be happy with us this season for launching legal actio against them. Only hope is we win that legal argument maybe. We have NO friends.

So the team that weren't going to last the pace this season and weren't going to go up, won't be staying up next season. You heard it here first... :rolleyes:

So it sounds like we can sell players in June to try and mitigate a future EFL deduction based on us losing more than ÂŁ15m this season, or we can keep them and gamble on staying up for a good number of years so that any EFL deduction is years away. (I doubt they'd settle for a pay-off again, like we managed to negotiate a few years back.)
That presumes this season's losses are of no interest to the PL cos we weren't in their division.
But you're right – it feels like every fucker is after us, but the club have no idea how to create an effective siege mentality to help counter that...

Still carrying that lie from Rodgers about not being funded, he wasted millions on shit and was stopped wasting more.


But, this gave the gobshite an excuse, he blamed the club.

Stop blaming Rodgers it wasn't all his fault. If anyone blame the people who sign the cheques.

It was a lot of his fault.

Alienating players
A team with poor fitness and little staying power
Failing to play to players strengths
Playing Danny Ward who now more or less acts as ball boy when the players warm up before games.
It goes on ....

He arguably had one of the best Leicester City squads we'd ever had and couldn't get a tune out of them.

Others were responsible as well - their main error being not getting rid of Rodgers earlier.

Oh FFS. Are you rodgers in disguise.
If you can’t see the damage that rodger's did to the club I wouldn’t bother commenting.

I can see the damage done but it's unfair to put all the blame on Rodgers. It was a mixture of everyone being at fault. The owner, Director of football, The Manager and let's not forget the players part in this as they actually play the game.
 
Rodgers had a strop at the start of the season due to a lack of transfer budget. We played Brentford at home on a stinking hot day, he made just two substitutions then moaned when we threw away a lead. Brentford made the maximum 5 subs.

That was all down to Rodgers.

I firmly believe winning the first game of the season stands you in good stead for the early part. We were in a negative mindset from the off and he could not and would not turn it around.

That and him playing many of the wrong players for much of the season, in goal, in defence and up front. That’s all down to Rodgers. Nobody else.

Those in charge are culpable because they put him on a real megabucks contract then should have sacked him sooner. When they did sack him we had nobody lined up to take over. That’s down to Rudkin.
 
That Brentford game set the tone for an abysmal season. TCR fucked around playing politics about the finances and cost us two points with his stupidity.
Unforgivable that he sacrificed a win to try and make a statement to the hierarchy.

For years we have blamed owners for withholding funds from managers. Our current owners backed the then manager in a way that no others have. You are right that the blame isn't all on Rodgers but on those above... because they didn't realise sooner they were putting their money into the deadest of horses. They were as conned by him as much as you were... but with bigger consequences.
 
I'm sorry, does that article say we are keen to retain Jannik Vestergaard?
What a load of crap that whole article is...

In a way though you could say it was justified though as we won the FA cup and got regular European football.
 
When he first came to us he was excellent and so were we. Then Covid hit the pressure on us to finish 4th became too much and the dull defensive style took over.

The stat at one point was we, Leicester City FC, was in the top four of the Premier League across two seasons more than any other team, yet we finished fifth twice. That’s shocking on its own.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Rodgers should have gone long before he did.
