    Most amusing thing is seeing Everton celebrate as if they’ve won the league the amount of £ spent there over the last few years is unbelievable points deduction thing what happens there? Diddly squat that’s what just pick on the small clubs it’s easier
    Big contrast from yesterday with Luton going up who’ve spent sod all in comparison lesson for us fans here on not how much you spend £ it’s how you spend it

    Just been reading the inquest into Leicesters’ relegation on the BBC Sport website.

    Quite staggering some of the amounts involved and demonstrates what we are up against, trying to compete at this level.

    Extract:
    ————————————————-
    Leicester will be the most expensive squad, with the highest wage bill, to be relegated in Premier League history," sport finance expert Kieran Maguire told Radio Leicester's When You're Smiling podcast.

    Some players will be on very lucrative contracts without relegation clauses which means they will become a significant burden.

    Leicester's wage bill stands at £180m - the highest outside the top six - with Maddison, Jamie Vardy and Ricardo Pereira among a number of players to earn in excess of £100,000 a week.

    They will have to get the players of value out first. You will still get decent figures, but not as much as you hoped for when in the Premier League.

    They club will be in a much weaker position when suitors do come."

    Called it well before Brin to be honest shocking recruitment in both manager and players , we should have gone last season in truth.

    Can walk it in 10-15 mins and call in a couple of pubs on the way

    The biggest problem Leeds seemed to have is their defending
    Huge gaps and leaving premiership strikers unmarked is only going lead to heavy defeats.
    The team didn’t seem to have any organisation and players running around like headless chickens. It’s bad enough doing that in the cship but in the prem it’s footballing suicide.
    Leeds seemed to have been doing it for 2-3 months and their heavy home defeats reflect that. No surprise they went south without even a fight

    Sam Allardyce? Come on really? If there’s no one better than that then stick with who’ve you’ve got
    Brendan Rogers replaced by Dean Smith?
    Appoint Frank Lampard when Chelsea are still in the champs league

    What planet are these Chairman on

    Clearly they are desperate Chairmen. At least Leeds haven’t got to pay Allardyce £5 Million for keeping Leeds up!

    Brin, I understand what your saying, but did they pay 35 million pounds, for a sub, that come on with a few minutes to play, and plays on the left wing for Italy.? I'm old fashioned I know.
