In order to fulfil their stated ambition of keeping up with the 'Big Boys', while staying within FFP, Leicester generally need to be successful on the pitch AND make at least one big player sale each season. If you look at their most recent accounts (2020/21), Covid obviously hurt them, nonetheless they finished 5th in the PL, won the FA Cup and reached the last 32 in Europe, even after selling Chilwell for £50m. Yet they still made a pre-tax loss of £33m (£31m after tax). And as Swiss Ramble points out: "LCFC have now reported 3 consecutive years of losses, adding up to £121m, which is in stark contrast to the 4 years of profits after promotion to the Premier League in 2014."

After today's defeat I can't see BR surviving.

Same, it looks like a combination of a lack of ideas, and a lack of reinforcements. I can't see him lasting the week, but if he does, I can't see them beating Villa at the weekend.

The owners son doesn’t want to spend any money either, as they were decimated during Covid. King Power is very much reliant on travel, duty free shops etc.

I backed Leicester for relegation at 16/1. In fairness it was on the back of rumours that Maddison and Tielemans might be leaving. They are 2/1 now.
Think they'll have enough to survive if they don't sell more players in January

I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

That could be the end of BR. I missed the last 3 goals, but they look like they don't have a clue what they are supposed to be doing, particularly in their own half

You're probably right, the figure being thrown around is 10 million to pay him off. I think their squad is quite good, but they need to get Ndidi playing again, some of his play yesterday was comical and they still need a replacement for Vardy.

Tielemans and Maddison are lovely footballers but offer nothing defensively, zero interest in tracing back

That 4 0 win tonight will keep Brendan in a job for a bit longer.
Forest look fecked far too many poor players signed in the window.

Their signings were a bit naive is the one thing, they seemed to sign whoever was available on any given day, rather than a proper plan. Most clubs would have targets identified, and work downwards from 1st preference, 2nd preference etc. Seemed a bit scattered (eg Lingard who was signed early, then replaced a month later).

Leicester getting linked with a £30m bid for Argentina forward Nicolas Gonzalez I thought they had no money? |
