Glorious Leicester Fan

FFP is a joke. That said, as a club, we cannot continue to live precariously and use ‘ legal technicalities to escape financial/footballing mismanagement. We will eventually get caught out.

That was two years ago. We are currently a promoted club that will most probably be face a significant points deduction. This situation isn’t unique to us. The majority of promoted clubs find it hard to attract good players, hence most relegated. Occasionally you’ll find a couple of gems, but it’s not the norm.

I don’t think you can compare Puel’s recruitment to our current recruitment. When Puel was manager, we were an established Premiership team, which inevitably attracted better players/wages.

Our current strike force is a 37 year old striker who cannot play 90 mins. If we don’t buy/loan a striker, then it’s a dereliction of duty by the club.

Traditionally, there a significant distinction between Manager and head coach. The later implies a sporting director.

Intriguingly, Percy states Cooper will be appointed as ‘Head Coach’ and not ‘Manager’.

My father-in/law is a Cov fan and says O’Hare lacks the pace that is needed in the Prem.

Question. I’ve just read that the Chelsea have sold their 2 hotels to a company that is owned by the owners of Chelsea; thus allowing them to adhere to FFP for 2022/23. Is there anything stopping us doing the same and selling Seagrave to a company owned by Top?

I assume so. Also, haven’t they changed the rules for the 25/26 season (only allow to spend 80% of generated income of transfers/wages)?

Fair point. But, there is a big difference between what you want to do and what you can actually do (legally speaking). I can’t blame any club and would expect them to question and challenge the legality of the EFL actions.

This is ridiculous. Before trying to get a points deduction against Leicester imposed by PL for 22/23 and then applied by EFL in 23/24, I assume the EFL sought legal advice. They must of ignored the legal advice or hired some shit lawyers.

This is definitely a Chelsea FFP issue. They are really walking a tightrope and could be punished in the near future. I imagine Gallagher will be sold in January (pure profit) and Casadei will possibly be his replacement.

Agree. Although our over reliance on KDH is a tad worrying.
