Unless the media tells ppl about it they won’t know. Ppl too busy watching Netflix and watching football 😗 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nod.E Posted 10 March Share Posted 10 March Can bottom half clubs not come together and agree to say bollox to the rules and all start with a points deduction? Kind of makes it meaningless then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that if we get punished and the finance guy didn’t go then that sort of says that he didn’t screw up but others ignored his advice. the finance guy is responsible for those at the top understanding our financial position. That why we should be looking at him. But we won’t find that out because he’s already moved on if you had actually messed up to that degree then you’d surely expect to be sacked ??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted 10 March Share Posted 10 March (edited) Another potential conspiracy of mine. Talk of rule changes; So are they looking into or at the “lesser” teams, handing out punishments, meanwhile the “bigger” clubs are under investigation with no end date, the powers that be are reducing the punishments (In Everton’s case) in order to not be so heavy handed on the “bigger” clubs and/or are waiting for the rules to change and not punish those clubs at all? You can’t have a situation where a handful of clubs get punished, then change the rules. It seems to me an independent review was threatened the Premier League were backed into a corner to do something, they’ve done something but they’re fudging it. Seems to me an independent review needs to take place more than ever. Edited 10 March by Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest glasgowfox Posted 10 March Share Posted 10 March Controversial I know but....I don't really care if we get promoted. I know the championship has shit refs but its less predictable and even though there's some really bad errors, at least you don't have to wait around for VAR to see if you can celebrate a goal or not. I hate it when Leicester were on sky away to a big team in the premier leage and you had to wait an hour or so to know that Leicester were even playing.

John12345 Posted 10 March Share Posted 10 March I think we will go up. But the fact that we are not going to walk the league after all, and it is likely to bloody close run saddens me. It kind of tells me we probably arent good enough for the PL and without a ton of investment which we might not have, we will be scrapping it out again and the golden days are probably over.

Seems to me an independent review needs to take place more than ever. It’s a government level issue IMO. Leicester MPs need to lead the charge - this isn’t about 90 minutes on a Saturday afternoon. This is about Leicester as a city and the wider community. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no problem with us going up after a scrap and I've no problem with us staying up next season after a scrap. It's not supposed to be easy! The 'golden years' were that. We will be remembering them for a long, long time. They are not coming back for a while yet (if at all!). Unless we have another Kante, Vardy, Mahrez etc etc up our sleeves. The leagues are littered with clubs our size. We've played Hull, Sunderland, Sheffield Wednesday to name a few. We have no right to success. Just to dream those days might come around again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnley walked the league and still aren't good enough for the Premier League. We're always more likely than not to be scrapping it out. Every now and then we have a good spell, like a fair few clubs outside the greedy rich few. We're fortunate beyond belief that the last one produced both the season to end all seasons and the FA Cup. Better times will be back sometime - maybe sooner, maybe later, who knows? But to think continuing or repeating what we did recently was ever possible was very optimistic!

You just said you don't care if we get promoted or not. I merely pointed out that not getting promotion probably puts us closer to League One than the Premier League with all the future points deductions, players being sold and further potential punishments etc. You are entitled to still prefer that option, but that could be the consequence of not going up this season.
