Leicester City Thread

Cheating bastards. Take the title off them and give it to spurs -:)

Spursy came 3rd in a 2 horse race between them and Leicester :)-
Arsenal pipped them to second by 1 point.

There's an article in the Mirror that was forwarded to me this morning, John Cross writing about our '115 charges,' apparently. Haven't had a look so forewarned, it might be clickbait for the ABC (Anyone But City) brigade.

Leicester City have a history of overspending/ financial mismanagement,they went into administration in 2003, and the club had to be rescued by a consortium of new owners which included Gary Lineker.
I remember at the time that the owners were considering giving the rescued club a new name ( like when Leeds City became Leeds United), and one of the names they came up with was Leicester Fosse, because The old Roman road was called The Fosse Way,and it went from Exeter to Lincoln, via Leicester.
And because they came back as a phoenix club unencumbered with any debt it was deemed unfair by the football authorities,and points deductions were introduced for clubs going into administration.
So you reap what you sow.

I shall never have any sympathy for any team of Leicester's stature that misses relegation by a gnat's nadger, then the following season wins the Premier League, yet sacks the manager who won it for them before Christmas.

Ranieri should have been given the freedom of the city and a statue.

Leicester City were previously called Leicester Fosse, and supporters were asked if they wanted the club to revert to the old name.

Nice one pal.
I knew there was something to do with Leicester Fosse at the back of my mind,but couldn't quite remember what.
Thanks for correcting me.

Their fans have accepted it and are going for the jugular of one of their execs.

 

[Blue Mist]

Yes but what about Man Cheaty ?

I've just realised that Leicester City were one of "The Hateful Eight" who were signatories to the Arsenal letter sent to the Premier League, so they can get fucked as far as I'm concerned, I hope they get relegated to Division One and languish there for years.

Funny how United Fudge £65million in Covid Allowances to save them from PSR points deductions
What was the agreed amount that all the others could claim in COVID allowances ? I would be all over this if I were Leicester City

Leicester in particular have a love in with united they wouldn't dare rock their favourite second team

Leicester Appeal

Leicester are appealing against the 6 point deduction. It does seem unfair considering they are being punished by the Premier League when they aren’t even a member and could get relegated to First Division.

Be a shame if the EFL call it frivolous and add another 6 points to the punishment.

Most replied it was a load of fosse about nothing

They clearly weren’t Fossed about reverting to the old name.

 

[Stoned Rose]

That’ll certainly teach them to never have the cheek to ever even think about winning the league again.

Great these “fair play” rules aren’t they.

It's not looking good for the Foxes at this moment in time
What a turnaround in their fortunes in this last 10 years.
From Premier League Champions via FA Cup winners, relegation to The Championship and then finally relegated again, to what is in effect on the 3rd tier of English football.
Walkers Crisps and Gary Lineker can go fuck themselves.

All I'll say on Leicester is they've gone pop twice, once directly benefiting them winning the league and that's without the very dodgy upturn in performance.

Proven cheats financially and made few friends locally with the pay out to businesses of X pennies in the £.

However, the away days there were always a great day out even going back to the banana days.

 

[MCFC1993]

Worth bumping with chat in the Championship breaking out around their predicament.

Players still on huge wages in League 1 is going to put them in a financial mess.

Probably all worth it for the success they had but who knows what lies ahead.

 

[paulchapo]

I've just watched highlights of their game and the ground was almost empty. Don't ever talk about our fans again when they absolutely deserted them in their hour of need.
