No way anyone buyr that club for $475m. The only value in the club is the owner who leaves with the  sale of the club.

Read it carefully and you will understand better what is being said.

$475M, which is about £350M. Not quite as high, but still a significant valuation for the actual size of the club and its infrastructure. Part of me wants to think that they'll find some investors in America willing to get on board at that price... but it does seem mad. I think they'll struggle a bit this season looking at their rumoured business, and that might quickly take the shine off and drop the price.

Where is "Lampard to Leicester" even coming from? I can't see any even wild speculation about it.

CB, you're right. I'm writing nonsense. You know how sometimes you think something and in your head it becomes reality without it really happening? It's one of those. And Saints win the Championship next year...there I go again!!

More likely they sell portions off to private equity on a sliding scale up towards that valuation as and when they need money. Being involved with that club is surely a licence to print cash, at Championship level anyway

Amusing that Everton, who were probably at their prime during that period, missed out due to the actions of some scallies from their own city.

It's almost certain that RVN is done on July 1 but the owner has come out & said that he wants a manager who plays like Maresca.  That aint Dyche !!!

Lots of people think it will be Danny Rohl from Sheffield Wednesday.

Are the players back in for pre season this week? Just under 7 weeks until the season starts

[Willo of Whiteley]

Aren’t Leicester going to have to cash in on a lot of players? Aren’t they also awaiting a points deduction? 

Surely the only selling point as a club is that they were recently a Premier League club?

Danny Rohl will be expensive to prise away from Wednesday - can Leicester afford the millions to payoff RvN and compensation to Wednesday?  Less to spend on the squad.

Rohl certainly hasn’t shown to be possession based tactically.

I've wasted too many hours of my life waiting for Leicester to have a points deduction, it never happens

Saints will have a points deduction before Leicester

I'm looking at other teams' transfer business and going 'who'. Certainly not any signings I would be jealous of yet.

The only one where I thought ‘good signing’ was Harry Darling to Norwich but never thought ‘wish we’d signed him instead’. More that for a good centre back at this level on a free it was good business but he knows Liam Manning their new manager well.

Not seen many players linked away from Ipswich, who, Delap aside, look pretty strong
