    I think Leicester were in way more in debt than £30M.....even way more than the £37M.

    There were two bids to try and save the club, one fronted by Gary Lineker, and the other by former director Gilbert Kinch. As the administrators started to wade through the wreckage, the cuts began. There were redundancies, while the players had to accept a deferral of 33% of their wages, agreed through the PFA. The club’s supporters quickly organised themselves into a Supporters Trust, following a meeting attended by more than 700 people. The media, meanwhile, got stuck into the lazy trope of “greedy players”, with radio host Adrian Durham calling for the supporters to boycott the club.

    In the new year, the full extent of the club’s predicament became apparent. Leicester were £74 million in debt when they fell into administration. The biggest debt was £28 million for the new stadium, while £4.5 million was owed to the Inland Revenue, £2.7 million in VAT, £75,000 to Chelsea and £500,000 to Tottenham Hotspur. There was also £19 million outstanding for players’ wages, which would still be owed, even if all existing contracts were terminated. There was also a £20 million debt owed to the club’s parent company, Leicester City PLC. Leicester, like many others, had chased the El Dorado promised by stock market flotation in the late 1990s.

    Leicester are playing (and winning) right now, to be fair to him. He's enjoying the blood money football.
    I'm sure he'll be back soon to post some inaccurate figures and cowboy memes, though.

    I’d ask @BuzzardFoxMick to fire up the chopper and get his boy out of here, but that would be in very poor taste.

    So I won’t

    You know what mate, I bought my first house for £29k and sold it three years later, having done **** all, for £105k.

    It doesn't make me a genius, its called luck.

    That's what happened to Liverpool with Suarez and Coutinho.

    They still spent the lucre.


    <ok>

    Don’t mention the £75m CB & the £70m keeper that won them the league.

    They’re a club who’s never overspent they survive on buttons, and don’t have in any way, one of the largest wage bills in football.

    They’re self declared #peasants and proud of it.
