They don't have a point at all. They cheated their way out of the championship by fiddling the FFP rules. Also it was the way they went into admin and managed to wipe out all their debts, driving many local businesses to bankruptcy that made the league change the rules and start deducting points for teams who did similar.
Leicester fans are in no position whatsoever to start moralising about trophies being bought.

There is nothing in the rules that says you can't break FFP and not get promotion, so promotion wasn't cheated. It looks like they tried a bit of creative accounting to avoid the fine, that's the long and short of it. Plenty of teams in the championship and other league (errr... you) have and continue to break FFP. They all get punished according to the rules. Nobody will deny the owners invested to get out of the championship.

As for administration, seriously. Do people just spurt out a load of rubbish without doing a single piece of research? Look, if you'd like the real story then google about Eric Hall (the old agent). Or the collapse of ITV digital which helped drive about 12 clubs into administration within the space of a year.

Also, with regards the league. It wasn't Leicester going into adminisration that made them change the rules, much was to do with HRMC changing the rules with regards preferential creditors. The league stated they were worried about clubs no longer being forced to pay back what they owed in Tax, would increase the amount of teams going into administration, as it made the path easier for teams to come back from it. There were 25 teams who went into admin before Leicester and there were 7 who went in after, all without any points penalties and some owing more than Leicester did.
 
And a few blood supplements.

Allegedly, yes.

Given the widespread use of PED's in sport, its a ridiculous position to take if you say it doesnt happen in Football as well and the remarkable turnaround in performances of certain players and teams certainly raises suspicions.

The PL needs to get on top of this, be transparent and introduce mandatory testing at every single game from now on imo.
 
One of the journos on Sunday Supp this morning referred to how all Newcastle need to go up and become a top four team again is a cyro chamber. That will solve everything, he said. And according to Leicester, their recovery powers were all down to that. Ummmm.
 
It is utterly bizarre the whole thing. The competition may have been poor this season but for a team of 5000-1 outsiders who escaped relegation the year before to win the league by TEN points and only lose THREE games in the process is remarkable. Also where did their huge turnaround in form suddenly come from at the end of last season? The same squad of players and manager go from being relegation certainties to suddenly finding a magic winning formula and finish 14th. Something is very odd somewhere.

Amongst all the celebrations in that weekI am sure I heard Vardy say to Ranieri on the pitch as he hugged him, ''Nobody knows'' with a big grin. It is not sour grapes at all but surely people must be finding what happened a bit odd?

Well. If things aren't on the level the public will find out within a few years. You can't keep something like that hidden. I still think it's nothing.

Putting Ashley in it and throwing away the key probably wouldn't hurt.

We were struggling to get SSN to do it in 2012 after beating their beloved raggies...
