Given where they are and where they're likely heading, i think they could do far far worse than trying to keep Rowett... maybe he's seen the writing on the wall and won't be persuaded to stay? 

With all the talk of points deductions and administration next season I imagine you’re right and he’s thinking fuck this.

Can’t imagine a “philosophy” manager like Russ would be stupid enough to go anywhere near the place, it’ll probably be someone that’s used to working on a tight budget with average players until they get the club stable.

That skate cunt Mousinho would probably be a shout.

They covered Leicester a bit on Total Saints Podcast last night, quite thoroughly too.

Hardy Winks is out of contract, but Oliver Skipp for example has a contract until 2029.

Some of those players had relegation clauses from the Premier League, but is it the same situation for Championship to League One? Not necessarily.

They’ve just brought forward next seasons parachute payments and that has been almost taken as a loan with 8% interest.

Basically they need cash flow and the need it quick. So if you offered a fiver for Fatawu for example they’d probably have to take it. They can’t afford to wait around.

Given what Steve said they are even starting life in League 1 on the back foot, maybe not minus points like us but unless someone comes in and buys them which I guess would be the best outcome for the fans, those in charge have to make some bloody difficult decisions and get them right.

It's worse than that actually, Winks is still contracted. He got an automatic 1 year added to his 3 year deal when they were promoted in 2024, so he's still there till 2027. Jannik will be sticking around too, he's on a decent chunk. But Skipp until 2029 is crazy, they'll have to move most of these on at cut price fees you'd have to think.

I read something about their parachute payments too and apparently they've already 'used' next years final payment, believe it or not. They've rolled up all of their future income streams from transfer sales and next years parachute payments to fill in some loan payments/cover debt for 'now'. 

They are in an even worse situation than I thought, and it was already bad.

Borrowing is commonplace, right - we've done it and probably still do - Leicester's worry now is that their assets and income stream versus their now increasing outstanding loan debt, wage expenditure and maintenance costs will be crippling them. 

There's only one way this ends.

He told their fans to fuck off at Fratton getting on the coach (when in Rome).
