Forgive me if it’s already been said but are Leicester in serious trouble financially if they come down?

They seem to huh? But wasn’t there talk of points deductions etc if they remained in the championship?
They’re coming down, and were crazy to sack Cooper.

Someone was telling me at the weekend they were due to take the points deduction when they get relegated. But I wasn't sure. Haven't looked into it.

It will be something silly like 3 points but they will still have a Premier League squad and spending way above their means so it won't really matter.

Is the issue that when you were such a good player it's hard to grasp that some players are not the level you were?

I think if he was in charge of Tranmere or something that might be a genuine issue, but he's at a Premier League club and while they clearly aren't at the level he was they're still excellent players.

not really, watched a video of Hoddle coaching in the PL and getting stressed the players couldn't dowhat he wanted them to do
when he every time.

The maybe premier league players but as a player he was levels above them

I know the video you mean and it was a Division 1 team training on a local park (if it's the same one).

Nowhere near the technical level of Leicester's players of today.

That would be the sign of a good manager; someone who understands the capabilities of their players and manages them accordingly.

It's fair to say none of our lot are going to have Lampardesque careers, but we all hope he's going to make them a successful team.

Think it was Swindon when Hoddle was a player manager, although I've got a feeling the same was said when he managed Wolves.
