Popular Post Claudio Fannieri Posted 30 June Popular Post Share Posted 30 June I really don’t get the, we would be better keeping him and taking a bigger points deduction, yes he is good, but he has limitations and who’s to say with Maresca gone and Cooper in, if he will be anywhere near as effective. For me we have to take the money, be compliant and avoid another breach and potential points deduction and then look to bring in some good quality additions, with clever recruitment and look to push on again. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including how much you fail by and attempts to comply etc. it could still bring down the points deduction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we still post a loss this year despite selling Castagne 13m, Barnes 35m, mareca 10m, kdh 30m and two loan fees then even you must admit something is very wrong at the club?

We had a wage bill of a top 8 team and also spent £40m or so. Easy to see why we could make a loss in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a midfielder who played most of the season at right back because Leeds didnt have anyone else there. He had a few games for them in midfield including the QPR 4-0, personally I think he was better as a right back and he's not good enough currently to play midfield for a team looking to get promoted, let alone a team playing in the PL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes wages got too high trying to chase a top 4 spot. We then pushed it hard in the Championship to give us the best chance of going up. I’d still rather we did that then play it completely safe and for example sell players like Tielemans straight after he won us the FA Cup. It would have been hard to completely break up that team after two very close top 4 efforts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why they are paid big money. It’s not just because of an unforeseen relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we spend all our transfer budget on 29 year olds on long contracts, then I’ll criticise them. I think it would have been tricky negotiating contracts for new players when Vardy and Schmeichel were sat on £140k a week deals. Those times are changing now though and we are currently not chasing a top 4 spot. So I would imagine we can rebuild a bit more sustainably. If people want that though, then they can’t criticise when we sell our best players. That’s what we would need to do. What would it take for you to defend them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact we had such a bloated wage bill with the bang average squad (that was what most were saying last season) surely just backs up the hideous job the board have done in recent years.
