The way they've been financially mismanaged it's sure to be true. They may get hit whilst the real villains get away with it.

I'll reserve judgement until I see more, but I would hope that both City and Everton are appropriately punished if they are indeed guilty of breaches.

Aren’t clubs usually accused of violating FFP big winners?

Everton cheated but still lost a lot?

Spoiler: Chelsea is next.

Not necessary. There is a huge monetary difference between playing EPL and Championship.
Wouldn't surprise me if some clubs creative in bending the FFP to stay in the EPL.

Will probably have to wait till their CL knockout before they get in trouble, and even then the league's disposition will affect it. Barca seem to have just been forced to demote Gavi into an academy footballer by la liga since their forecasted debt is larger than their earn projections after cl & uel KO's. If so their 2nd best wonderkid is free transfer prey in the coming transfer window.

Grealish looked great today. i'm happy for him.

Man C certainly caned Liverpool but I guess that matters more to Baph than me. My worries are about trying to defeat a 75 year olds team.

City score 4 against Pool without Haaland?

Pool can still make top 4 but wow, 3rd and 4th spots are up for grabs.

They've got a decent manager.

I'll miss this board next season when I stop watching top level football.

I still think you've got a decent chance of staying up. There are definitely three teams worse than Leicester, just a case of whether or not that shows on the pitch. It's still very tight at the bottom.

Huge win for us! I can’t believe we are 2 points off the top 6 and we have a manager that can actually coach these players lol. I’m just enjoying the ride I’m not expecting too much but I’m just happy that we can go into games now without worrying we could get hammered.

On paper there are 12 teams worse than Leicester but we have no identity, no spirit and an idiot in charge. Sack him and any manager could save us, keep him and we die.

The difference a good manager makes.

Rodgers has been sacked who would you like to get instead

Anyone who can motivate the players and keep us up for the last 10 matches. Then we take on the next full time boss at the end of the season. I don't need anyone famous, I'm happy with a young guy with potential. We're only Leicester.

Is it true that Potter has been sacked too?

I'll have him.

HIF · Post #1059 » by **HIF** » Sun Apr 2, 2023 7:22 pm

Nagelsmann to Chelsea
Potter to Leicester
Brenda to spurs :-)

Next weekend's going to shape my confidence levels for the rest of the season. A win and I think we get it done , a loss and I'm worried, real worried.
