Riyad Mahrez

You should have invested quicker and bigger then! You guys are miles behind the big 6

Agreed but you have to start somewhere, sometime right?

Looks impressive that mate.

Very giddy! Sunderland are mile bigger than Leicester, one flirt with relegation and you're treading water with Leeds.

No they’re not, but don’t let facts cloud your opinion.

If you would like me to indulge you and explain why please feel free to ask.

Google and a bit of research yourself will, however prove your point as being invalid.

Thank you, just proving that the Mahrez money is not critical to our expansion plans.

Agreed but more difficult now with the premier league wage rules and the premier leagues own FFP. Our board had their ears to the ground last summer when they stated that the €50m for Bernardo Silva would be a steal by the end of the window!! It’s not just about how much money your owners have it’s how much they can actually spend against how much you generate and make? Even our owners due to wanting to be sustainable and run our business properly set limits unlike them pricks in Paris.

I know LCFC ignored Championship FFP rules but you think you're owners are planning on ignoring PL and UEFA rules too ?

If not the money from the Mahrez deal could be crucial in terms of expenditure on your squad.

Yes I agree again. Maybe our investment in property and upgrades to facilities can be offset against other costs to balance the books within FFP rules?

I would hope not, although that being said our punt on ignoring FFP while in the championship only cost us ~£3 million which we have already paid.

Upgrading your facilities doesn’t count for FFP rules anyway mate but I’m pretty sure for that reason that you can’t juggle figures around as it suits. For the record I like Leicester as a club and I think you guys are true and loyal fans but you also need to let mahrez move on and use the money to improve your squad and finally put all this to bed?

Costs for infrastructure are ignored for FFP purposes I think, you can't use them to offset anything though.
