It's not just you mate, 95% of the football world think exactly the same. The red top papers at the time were absolute scum in their reporting of what went on, The Times reported it correctly and it's all still on the net thankfully, so it can all be checked out.
Then you had managers like...
They are attempting to rebuild around the old city now, we've just got the go ahead for a huge revamp of the train station. They are trying to link the old parts of the city back up with the canals (cut off by the horrific 60's ring roads). In another 10 years it might be really really nice...
A myth perpetuated by a few newspapers and a few sets of fans I'm afraid.
Will local companies have lost out, yes our course. But the club did everything within it's power to attempt to fix the problem, as it meant the then owners losing control of the club if they didn't. The idea we just...
Sadly, most of our history got bulldozed in the 60's. It's a disgrace that still annoys locals to this day really, the mayor is trying his best (despite being a knob) to restore what's left of it and it's definitely getting much much better. I've seen old pictures and you'd think the place was...
If people want to hate Leicester, that's fine. But if you are going to do so, I'd rather you did so based on the truth and NOT what The Sun told. you. I'll start at the top...
"cheating the system to get a free new ground"
We didn't cheat any system, when we got relegated just after building...
Perhaps, it just all felt a bit orchestrated. Our stuff pretty much always comes out beforehand through John Percy at the Telegraph, as it has done for years and he's said nothing. Anyway, whatever happens good luck for the season!
I'm convinced we (Leicester) aren't even in for the fella, none of our usual sources have said anything about us even being interested in the player. I think people are being played by his agent.
There has been absolutely nothing our end to indicate that we're even interested, all of our links and bids tend to come out through John Percy of the Telegraph or a fella who writes for the mirror, his name escapes me. But everyone seems to be shrugging their shoulders on this one. Maybe one...
Alright, Leicester fan here.
I'm sure we got both got a good deal out of Ulloa, nobody really knew how he'd take to the premier so £8m was a decent risk on our park and a decent fee for you guys.
With regards training, we do have an exceptional sports science department. There was a short...
I'm unaware of that and I like to keep up to date with everything. When they wrote off the debt they also included a £10m cushion to cover permitted FFP losses this season. So it still stands at £17m as far as I know as they aren't allowed to put any other cash in over the £8m, we won't know for...
Seeing as Wood has scored more in one season than either of them, Wood must be worth about £12m.
Appreciate you don't need to sell so you are right to hold out for a silly offer, but the Values are just silly in the English leagues.
Simple answer, no it is not.
More complicated answer is as follows.
There are now no debts, other than the £17m we owe to the owners company for buying the stadium back (he did so to save £1m a year in interest to the Teachers Fund). The rest was converted to equity, ie wiped out.
Again...
Damn it.
Actually as a squad player he wasn't half bad, massively unfit obviously but he had some of the best control and vision I have seen at times. A very smart player... shame he can't lay off the beer and kebabs.
