Not for a minute suggesting we will emulate that but it does show fortunes can change very quickly. So should we dream the impossible or should we lay down and accept we are also rans?

One difference is that, their owners were throwing a hell of a lot of money at the club, in league one and also the championship. Surely wouldn't get away with that now with FFP

Reading a few stories recently about some very clever accountancy involving a certain ex FA big wig and some alleged phantom companies makes this irrelevant

Then along came.. a little help

Fester also went into administration and wiped the debt in hindsight that's what we should of done first time round.

we were saying the same thing in the car on the way to work this morning but to be honest I think there's more chance of us been extinct in 4 years than back in the prem never mind winning it.

At least in 4 years time my mortgage will be paid off!

Leicester were in league one 2008-09..... not 4 years ago!

If there was no hope then we may as well pack it all in now. But football is full of underdog stories. It's why we love it so much. As unlikely as it is, why shouldn't we dream big?

Bollocks, Leicester were promoted from League 1 in 2009, that was seven years ago.

Same old Leicester, always cheating

4 years time we will be in league 2 by then. In my opinion. we are still failing and it's lasted 15 years now. Another few years left yet of misery

Or owners who had the balls to go for it abd understand that unfortunately footy doesn't play by the sabe rules as any other business

And that misery is being shared by less and less. But never mind not one of the parties give a toss anyway our owners only want to win in court,our council gratefully got rid of us, our landlords think that once were gone they will be the number one sporting club in the city. All of them want the inconvenience of the club gone.
Ultimately the catalyst for this was SISU and their antagonistic business practices. However I didn't in my wildest dreams think that a Labour a Labour council would preside over the destruction of a club supported by an overwhelmingly working class city in numbers over the years.

Well that's wrong, 4 years ago (September 2012) they were in thr championship and finished 6th that season. In fact their last season in league one was 2008/09.

But the turning point was a rich owner who spent something like £125m in 3 1/2 years.

As for us, we'll probably still be in league one in 4 years time.

Couldn't agree more. A very depressing but spot on assessment.

No they had an owner who couldn't care less the money they were losing - well over £100 million

Ah, so this is where the other thread has lead from.

Yeah Dong. Don't question the owners. You know it upsets Nick. You bully.

Optimist.

It was more of me asking what he was trying to get at in the other thread As there is a pattern when he does it, the same as when Grendel does things like that.

Grendull does things like that? Strange you never pull him up on it. Must be who he's asking the leading questions of that's the difference

Maybe because you are already on the case within a minute or two...

depends what you define as also rans.

We could well be league 2, but if that's what it takes to get our house in order financially and be self sufficient and build a base for the future, it has to be better than sh1t or bust

You mean you're admitting that you selectively moderate so others have to pick up the slack for you
