Leicester have the biggest wage bill from any side that has ever been relegated I've just read.

So his contract is up? At 35, he's not getting a deal close to that anywhere else. I can see him taking a big cut and staying. Unless he has one year left, in which case he stays anyway.

He’s defo got one year left, a load of LCFC fans I know can’t understand why even for what he has done.

I wanted Everton because I was expecting them to be a basket case if they come down. Up to their eyeballs in debt with that new stadium

Leicester are the basket case. Several top players out of contract, Maddison off and division in the dressing room. If they employ the right manager like Burnley they will walk the Championship. Wrong choice see Watford and Norwich this season

Will they do a Norwich and start the season with Dean Smith?

I find a little consolidation in the fact that the championship is looking more like the prem (bar one or two) than the prem is. If incester can hold on to Vardy and Madesen then they might be up before the Christmas decorations and leeds will be a force too. There could also be Sheffield Wed joining Ipswich.oh bloody hell i feel depressed again. ☹️

I heard on radio 5 last week that the majority of their players contracts don't include relegation clauses unlike at Leeds. They are going to have to offload some players for reduced fees to get them off the wage bill. Probably affect us if Maddison is sold for less than they bought him for unless Newcastle & Arsenal have a bidding war for him.

Brilliant to be in a league where most clubs will bring 3k.

8/9 will bring 4500 too.

They're totally fooked:


On the surface, Leicester may appear to be in a decent position to make an immediate return to the Premier League.

Playmaker Maddison - the club's crown jewel - and £60m-rated winger Harvey Barnes are expected to leave, but should fetch a fair price.

The 'parachute payments' that follow relegation will boost the coffers too, so they are set to bounce straight back up, right? Wrong.

If Leicester's search for Rodgers' replacement was farcical, the lack of a plan for their players makes for even worse reading.

Seven are out of contract in June, including internationals Youri Tielemans and Caglar Soyuncu, who would have commanded significant transfer fees if sold last summer.

Deals for a further eight players expire next year and, with cuts of up to 50% written into contracts should the club be relegated, there is likely be a huge overhaul of the staff.

Leicester's wage bill stands at £180m - the highest outside the top six - with Maddison, Jamie Vardy and Ricardo Pereira among a number of players to earn in excess of £100,000 a week.

The club showed income of £214m in their accounts up to May 2022, but this will reduce to about £70m in the Championship.

The main issue they face is a loan agreed with Australian bank Macquarie for advanced payments on player amortisation and broadcasting revenue.

That is set against TV money so it is quite feasible the club will not see any of the 'parachute payments' as they will be allocated towards paying the quarterly interest on the loan, which stood at £19m last year.

Leicester's total borrowings stand at £344m, but much of that is related to the owners, who wrote off £194m earlier this season,

"Leicester will be the most expensive squad, with the highest wage bill, to be relegated in Premier League history," sport finance expert Kieran Maguire told Radio Leicester's When You're Smiling podcast.

Nothing to worry about re Leicester or Leeds for that matter. Both have come here without incident many times.

Leicester it will be rocking for sure, not in their end mind, clappers will get drowned out.

I imagine Leicester will reduce away allocation to 2K next season, so hope we return the favour.

we haven’t played either team for over 10 years. It’ll kick off 100 percent

I’m trying to remember the last time we played either of them.
I think Leicester was first game of season we were relegated from the championship?

Was the last Leeds game the 2-3 one at the Ricoh? A good game if I remember right

Was just prior to the boardroom upheaval with Aidy at the helm when Turner damaged himself.A very strong performance.

We were doing well until that game from what I remember? Didn’t it all go wrong after that, culminating in Aidy getting the boot and Thorn coming in?

Took 4 points off them the season we last played. 2-1 win at home and 1-1 away with a last minute Richard Wood equaliser.

Nah, there is no simmering resentment between us and Leeds and Leicester game will be policed to within an inch of its life. The odd flash point perhaps, but nothing more.

I seem to remember us losing that year to QPR away around Christmas time and it completely fell apart after that
