They're probably all on the first flight to Mykonos this morning anyway. 

 

I can't wait to see the comments when in a week or so they post pictures on Instagram with their wives and girlfriends at Ocean Beach. 

 

The pelters they will get. 

Spot on. This is why Madders especially should be punished. Board must say to him to bring an offer around 80m or he's not going anywhere. Let him rot for a full season in front of his social media accounts he loves more than the team.

Honestly I’m glad we have so many out of contract as now the club are FORCED to do a revamp.

We've been blessed to have him in a city shirt. Every time he touches the ball you can tell he's a cut above.

Did I ever questioned his talent? I'm questioning certain things about him. The fact also is that he was nowhere to be found since mid December. 

If he's a cut above, as an English international he needs to bring an offer of around 80m. The board must make this clear.

I absolutely agree. If we sell Harry Maguire for that kind of money then letting Madders go cheap is criminal, but we don't really have much to bargain with now sadly

Some seem to forget that for the players, it's a job. They've got no loyalty to the club or the city - they're just employees looking to maximize their income..

 

P.S. I get the impression that Ian Marshall is a raving drunk.

Some players have loyalty...Vardy, Steve Bull at Wolves, Matt le Tissier at Southampton. Admittedly, there are a lot of players that don't but some do. It's a short career and they have to get what they can really. It works both ways. Some players have shown loyalty and been shown the door. Matt Piper wanted to stay but city needed the money apparently and sold him.

I think you underestimate the situation. In terms of cashflow and FFP (which, as others have pointed out, are actually enforced by the EFL) 

 

We need around 120m in player sales, ideally by end of June. 

 

A fair estimate would be the following (all depends on how many bidders individuals can attract)

 

Madders 40m 

Barnes 35m

Castagne 15m

Soumare 5m 

Kels 15m 

Faes 10m 

 

Apart from JJ, maybe Daka, maybe even Iversen, I can't imagine any other players attracting worthwhile bids

 

If we are lucky, then we will release Praet for free and untangle ourselves from his wage

So how have Everton and Man City got away with it

They haven’t relegated themselves from the golden teat of the Premier League

Because they aren't in the EFL

...according to the quote, he (Evans) said "he was looking for signs of a lack of commitment, and found none"!!!

This is the same player who claimed they needed to continue the "same level of effort" as they did in the Liverpool game.

...he obviously felt that what we gave against Liverpool was a step further than our previous games!!!

  Not surprising that he states he has not found a lack of commitment, as it would be an extraordinary statement to have made otherwise.

Ian Marshall drinks locally and from what I’m told just a very normal bloke so will speak like a fan. Regardless of if it is a job if you perform so badly at your job and it affects so many people you’d surely be bothered

Absolutely this lad is a cut above 

 

He's a bit flash but he can back it up. 

 

Without him we'd have been down over  month ago

Some of the uncertainty Evans mentions there can go some way to explaining our plight. 

 

Evans said he looked for commitment, but couldn't find any. Perhaps players not willing to stick around with the club and actually sign contracts was one of them. Collectively a group of players, including his own, not knowing their own futures is a good recipe for failure. Especially seemingly influential players. How can Evans ask for full commitment when he sounds like he's going to leave the club anyway? 

 

It's like they all knew relegation became a certainty as each passing week went by, so have perhaps had their heads turned gradually to other opportunities. 

Club hasn’t dealt with the season very well at all. Failed to get players committed when it should of been done a long time ago. No matter what you think of rodgers if he was going he should of gone 2 months before he did or we should of stuck with him. We haven’t signed the right personnel, strengthened where we should of. I could go on but lessons need to be learned.

This is the "silver lining" I guess, if we stayed up we would likely be scrambling around to give players like Evans a new contract only to get injured again, and then having to renegotiate players who have contracts running low and are looking to move etc etc, I was expecting if we stay up our wage budget would still end up massively inflated, whereas now the entire ethos of finding and signing players is forced to change and will hopefully put us back onto a decent financial footing to attack the championship in future.

Can't believe the club sacked him

Hardly a shock when you think how tone deaf the club has been off the pitch.

Shame that feeling towards the club hasn’t rubbed off on the blokes.

Because the sad part of this is the womens set up probably gets a budget reduction as well and it’s back room staff cut back further too

Long term it’ll have an effect no doubt but everything’s secured in the short-medium and we’re shoving a load of money (for women’s football) towards improving the playing & back room staff this summer

I don’t particular like him as a Leicester player and I won’t be sad once he’s gone, but the spite and anger in the post you replied to is staggering. It’s really horrid stuff. There’s a lot of other people you can blame that aren’t madders.

I agree. Tielemans being called a wank stain on this thread. The bloke got us a trophy that has evaded us for 100 years. 
 

Also continued to play to the end of his contract. 
 

Take a look at the championship level players and then look at Tielemans and Maddison and they are at a completely different level. 

 

If people don’t value those players, then their heads will fart even more when they see the level of player we will be buying next season. 
 

From £100k a week players to £10k a week.

Would love Kel's to stay, easily my favourite player out the current bunch (Vards aside), but think the club will want him out the door to save the pennies. Having said that should he somehow stay, there's your new Captain for next season right there... leads by example in everything that he does.

Surprised brand Madders hasn't come out with some drivel yet

I’m actually annoyed he hasn’t. Still. I was annoyed last night at relegation despite coming to terms with it months ago (Bournemouth home I knew).

he owes us a huge apology. This is on him, Rodger’s, Rudkin, top, whelan, Danny Ward, it’s on all of you

Except when it comes to having his documents to enter Poland. 😂

 

Still, he’s fantastic and unique player who I’ll definitely miss when he leaves.

Tielemans trotted about in games but he certainly did not play. The bloke was a joke and part of the reason we are down.

 

as is Maddison. His heads turned by Newcastle/spurs/arsenal whoever way before the World Cup. On his way out for a year. 
 

we gave these two the armband at times this season. It was passed around like some kind of reward I give out to 7 year old kids at weekly football coaching. Some of whom who put more effort in than the above two on match days
