So many Leicester fans have been saying if they got relegated they would not go to a game in the Championship (phone-ins for the last 2 months on Talksport), similar sized grounds so will be interesting to see who sells more season tickets.

It’s all talk- think I read somewhere in terms of honours they’re the 6th most successful team since the turn of the century.

When the dust settles, they’ll outsell us expecting a canter to the championship title

Ueurgh, turn of the century fact.
You are probably right though for the first season back down though.

They'll have to offload players and I read they have a massive loan with an Australian bank which will have to be paid by their parachute payments. Their new younger chairman does not seem to like spending money either. They owe around £344m although some is owed or written off by the owner.

They will but that optimism will still be there. Same with Leeds and Southampton.

id imagine they recoup something like 100m in selling players so I expect them to reset well - they’ve got people like Dewsbury-Hall who is a good player at this level. Leicester will be there or there abouts

Get your point - I know football started before then. But 23 years is a good barometer for recent success

haven't only 7 teams won the pl in total?

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Yeah, it also appears the same 7 teams have won the FA Cup and league cup aswell. Sadly Leicester’s 2 major trophies - an FA Cup and Premier League makes them the 6th most successful team

What do we reckon, by October?

The best appointment they could get but it shows how low they are as he will win you nothing.

Jesse Lingard released by Forest after only making 17 appearances, nice work if you can get it. I wonder where he will end up?

Had a very good loan at West Ham so maybe there.

Would be good for his development. He’s only 21 right?

Did some good dances though. Well worth the millions paid to him

4.8 mil wasn't it... Not bad for 26 hours work

Strange character Lingard, West Ham loan aside it feels like he'd checked out of football as a career.

Ange Postecoglou says he wants the Spurs job. When do we reckon he'll get the boot?

His name just reminds me of that comedian who has the carrier bag.

Time to witness first-hand the gulf between EPL and SPL??

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Only just seen that next season's PL fixtures are announced tomorrow morning. Feels weird only a few days after the CL final, even accounting for the season being delayed by a few weeks for the World Cup.

Burnley at home to Man City on opening weekend.

 

[David O'Day]

Looks like the Qatar bid for United is the preferred bid

It was reported as Man City start away at Vincent Kompany’s Burnley.

We're running out of Emirates to take us over. Let's hope the Ukraine situation is sorted soon and we can bag an Oligarch.

Arsenal have had an offer of nearly £100m turned down for Rice

It's a ridiculous figure anyway, I can get a bag of it from Tesco for about £5!

I'd much prefer to sign his brothers, twins Baz and Matty

I'm assuming that's a case of the new owner being happy to get through last season but now wanting to kick on with a bigger name.

Ilkay Gundogan signing for Barcelona.

I fancy Spurs to do okay next season if Kane stays and with them playing no European football

Midfield of a fully fit Bentancur, Bissouma and Maddison is an exciting prospect

Not a bad midfield and attack (if Kane stays) will their shite defence keep them out though ?
