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

Are they ever in serious trouble? They always squirm out of trouble.

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.

I’m sure it was mentioned on here last season. I wouldn’t be against 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.

I wonder how those players that went running to the owners demanding Cooper was sacked feel now?

That they can keep getting managers sacked while creaming off the club?

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.

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.

Got to remember Hoddle is also an absolute prick.

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

Starting to think he's just played the long game incredibly well and has only joined them to relegate Vardy as payback for stealing his record of goals in the most consecutive games

Isn't there a rule preventing that? I thought you had to take it well before the end of the season.
