A good striker doesn't mean goals, you need service.

Never seems quite as fit as he could be but he will bully championship defences and when he doesn't score he will make goals for others. Leicester for promotion? Must have a chance

Always rated him. He's going to tear the Championship a new arsehole.

Somehow i think this is wrong As a club that went into Administration back in 2002 with £30 Million debts and back then they never recieved any points deduction or penatly just a transfer ban at the time then went on to get promotion that year and now they are back spending big fees and wages and with Eriksson on a seven-figure salary


Leicester moved into the new 32,500-seat Walkers Stadium at the start of the 2002–03 season. Walkers, the Leicestershire based crisp manufacturers, acquired the naming rights for a ten year period.[23] In October 2002, the club went into administration with debts of £30 million. Some of the reasons were the loss of TV money (ITV Digital, itself in administration, had promised money to First Division clubs for TV rights), the large wage bill, lower than expected fees for players transferred to other clubs and the £37 million cost of the new stadium.[24] Adams was banned from the transfer market for most of the season, until the club was rescued by a takeover by a consortium led by Gary Lineker.[3] Adams guided Leicester to runners-up spot in Division One and automatic promotion back to the Premiership

This. Of all the cheaty f*** clubs that have played the system Leicester and the guiltiest (yep, even more so than Pompey IMO). Amazing how they basically got a free stadium.
