Today's Premiership deciders

[Derbymiller]

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."

Dont forget the owners have written off £180m in debt!! How is that allowed under fair play rules, shows how weak the rules are. That could mean the owners of newcastle could loan the club £1b they spend it all on players and then they wipe it off in a few years, meaning it is free money, a strange loophole. Also some might remember the leicester stadium scam where they ended up paying nothing for the stadium, can't remember the details but there was a big issue about it at the time. Have a couple of friends that are leicester fans they are very worried if they don't go straight back up, only a 1 in 4 chance of an automatic return based on history, so they were saying on sky

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

Exactly Flour............and the clubs that were at one stage in the mire but stuck with their manager,Notts Forrest,West Ham and Bournemouth,survived! Food for thought.
