It’s a forum, a place of discussion and opinions, sometimes facts…. Some more valued than others but don’t tell tdm 🤫

Looking at next season when already promoted. So probably a poultry fine…. Boom tish!

Guardian report. Leicester City are at serious risk of breaking the English Football League’s profit and sustainability regulations, raising concerns about the club’s financial picture and a possible points deduction. The financial pressures are likely to result in the need to sell players this summer. If found in breach, it is unclear when any punishment would come into effect. The EFL believes Leicester, who have a three-point lead at the top of the Championship, are on course to break financial rules relating to this season. The club had to submit its projected 2023-24 accounts by 1 March and the EFL believe those figures would equate to a breach, according to the league’s independent club financial reporting unit (CFRU). The EFL determined that it was appropriate for Leicester to submit a business plan to demonstrate how it planned to comply with spending limits but the club said the relevant financial rules did not apply because they were in the Premier League last season. In 2018, Leicester agreed to pay the EFL £3.1m to settle the league’s claim they breached financial rules in 2013-14.

Yep, 20+ seasons in divisions 2 & 3 and this season have a chance, although it’s still not certain. Like so many other teams that have dropped from Division 1, if no promotion after the first three seasons it’s difficult to find that promotion winning combination.

You should read the articles about Stoke, fortunately Saints are not like that, but it will be harder to compete the longer Saints stay in the division.

Sunderland have about six first teamers out injured.

The trouble is these types of seasons will not last in Championship when the parachute payments end and the EFL FFP rules kick in. There will be more adjustment needed in types of players Saints would be able to afford and keep so Say goodbye to the KWPs, hello to more of the Mannings and Any decent young prospect being bought.

cannot believe no one has said revert to mean or they have to lose at some point! There are some good results with being defensive strong and they don’t have any important players out as far as I can see. Perhaps only fatigue catching up with them. It looks to be a hard game and they are only three points and goal difference away from a playoff spot.

Smallbone took a brum player with him which helped Brooks advance and shoot.

I wouldn’t mind that if they can get to the equivalent City level in this division. Pep has adapted his style over the seasons. One reason why Grealish is no longer getting game time this season being more direct at times.

Ummh… why Leeds and Saints got relegated last season….. perhaps.

Someone needs to press the urgency button on him. He’s done that about three times now.

He’s started previous cup games

Yes, from the Telegraph and Guardian reports

I can see us in the final, however, over one game final, it can be a bit of a lottery. I just hope if we get there we have Downes available and a fit squad who have picked up a bit form and resilience in the last dozen matches.

I think you expect too much from statistics, they don’t make a decision for you. Besides it depends on what the statistics measure and how that is interpreted. PS. Regardless of any stats, Manning is not a very good defender.

Can do, depends on the terms and premiums the insurance company set to mitigate the risk.

Apparently the second charge is more likely to get a penalty.

He reached Academy Director at City and had been there a fair while. He wanted to go beyond the academy level but no opportunity at City.

After September loses, we have caught up with them by something like three points and that was including our unbeaten run. Had to carry that to the end of the season to have had a chance but not going to turnover an eleven point gap in 14 games with Leicester suffering a collapse in form and results. Nice to dream but there is also Leeds and Ipswich to think about. Leicester are on course to achieve 104 to 108 points this season.

and not get promoted? That'll be odds of like 5000-1. 👀

One of those days, just like some they won unconvincingly at the start of the season but had the quality to get a goal.

Final score

But QPR take the lead against only one team in Bristol.

He’ll be technical director so a reduction in responsibility to what he has now but at a much bigger club. I’ll be amazed if he doesn’t go. So who can we ‘steal’ that can carry on the turnaround at Saints?
