That's not really viable when our squad is already overloaded with players we don't use that are on higher wages than anyone else will pay. We need to start spending more wisely, and if that means not backing the manager with his rebuild idea then it's a decision that has been made in the best interest of the club. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not actually one of those that wants to see the back of Rodgers. It's in the best interest of the club to support him heading into the new season. Let's wipe the slate clean and make the KP loud again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then expectations should be lowered and we should settle for mid table mediocrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not how it works unfortunately. We were mostly disappointed with last season because it preceded a 5th place finish and an FA cup win. I think expectations will naturally be lower this season because we finished 8th last season, but not to the extent that we will just happily accept a mid table finish. Football fans want to see their team progress, its the nature of the game, so I think we've got to do better than last season and finish 7th. That's genuinely achievable for this team, even if we don't sign anybody, and providing we don't have a repeat of last seasons injury crisis. We also know how a season to bed in to a new league can help as a player, so you never know, maybe Soumare and Daka turn into world beaters this season.

Definitely could have framed his original question a bit better. Have to remember as well though that not all Leicester fans now were brought up supporting Leicester. Recent success will have brought on lots of new admirers who won't know a massive amount about the clubs history etc. Thanks for the support I think , u got to remember that living down under we get nothing about how the club is running , or how the owners are travelling in money sense. Ur right I just wanted to know if TOP was still putting in the same effort as his father . I have been supporter since 1969 , and the best thing that ever happened to our club was the Thai owners buying the club and them winning the league with there involvement. But again living down under info on Leicester is almost 0 . So I have to ask this forum for info , even if it’s sounds bad to some on here who no more than me .

Deeg67 Posted 12 July 2022 Share Posted 12 July 2022 Per Fab Raphinha to Barca done, 67 million Euros. Leeds is certainly not done spending (and maybe overspending if they’re desperate). https://twitter.com/fabrizioromano/status/1546935928777850882?s=21&t=F4s1P6eV7T_fwNm_0A8qyw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Eaton Fox Posted 13 July 2022 Share Posted 13 July 2022 Even OH Leuven have spent more than us. Maybe the King Power funds have been diverted over there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Fannieri Posted 13 July 2022 Share Posted 13 July 2022 Or maybe we have a bloated squad and need to trim the squad to make room for new additions. we may have funds but they are not endless and we have a high wage bill in ratio to revenue. personally I don’t believe we are skint I just think it’s a case that we have to manage the 25 man playing squad and free up wage bill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve made what look to be some very shrewd signings. Not one of them have I thought makes no sense. But that’s Conte. He’s brilliant at knowing which players he wants to play his favoured formations. I also think Arsenal have signed a gem in Jesus and that Sterling will be a great fit for Chelsea. As I’ve said before, we can’t compete with this level of transfer activity and the gap is getting ever wider. For us to have players like Bednarek on our radar shows the chasm that exists between the top sides and ‘the rest’.

TJQuik Posted 14 July 2022 Share Posted 14 July 2022 I'm convinced Forest could sign 4 players from Barrow and some here would be devastated and expecting them to push for European spots this season. After all, the more signings you make the more betterer your team is 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
