Fish running to the PC when an opposition fan joins the board

To boil it down simply, we've signed quite a few average players and put them and our existing average players on large contracts. For example Hamza Choudary is on 60k p/w. Which is a lot of money for someone who would do well to spend the rest of their career in the championship. We can't shift these players because nobody wants to pay their wages, so this year is going to be a bit of a grin and bear it situation. A lot of these players will be out on contract in 2023. I think we've got 8 out of contract next season. Once they're gone, then next summer is absolutely huge for us. If we get the recruitment wrong then the club could be in for a struggle. If we get it right then we could well be challenging the top 6 again. I'm feeling much more confident now we've got rid of Congerton who Brendan brought with him from Celtic. Basically at the minute our spend on wages is too high and nobody can afford to sign our duffers haha. So we're just gonna try and ride out this season if we can't shift any dead wood. This is why we don't want to lose Maddison or Fofana, which is why we'll be asking for money this summer that sounds mental to outsiders. My opinion on Brendan haha... He seems to be an excellent coach and excellent man manager. His players will carry out his instructions to the letter. When he first joined we were playing the best football I've ever seen Leicester play. Unfortunately he seems to have become more passive and possession obsessed and he's sucked any enjoyment out of watching us, save for the odd performance. I do realise that you'd have probably killed for any kind of game plan while having to watch Bruce-ball mind haha. Off the pitch I think he's terrible, he wants to be involved in all facets of the club. He allegedly had a part in our long term physio Dave Rennie being sacked and we replaced Eduardo Macia with Lee Congerton. Macia and Puel basically built the core of the squad that Rodgers still uses 3 years after he joined. So he had a big say in our medical and recruitment when he joined. Since Rennie left, we've had consistent injuries and our recruitment have been fairly poor. Although he does gets credit for the signings of Justin, Fofana and Castagne. He'll hopefully get us back to playing some decent stuff again this season, my concern is that if we still have Rodgers in charge during next summer's rebuild. It'll set the club back years. I'd certainly be eyeing up Steve Cooper as I think he's a manager on the up who would be happy to work within our proven framework, rather than wanting to tear it up and do it his own way. Ashworth and Howe seem to be putting together a nice vision for your lot by the way, I've been very impressed with how you've conducted business and there seems to be a clear plan to sign the right players and not just splash money on any old high reputation player that's down on their luck.

Having realised their faux pas, they've now awarded naming rights to Betfred.

Just got off the phone to a dog breeder. Put our name down for her next litter of Labrador puppies. My bulldog went to live with my parents when their dogs died and I miss having a dopey mate to hang about with. Working from home 95% of the time now so it’s perfect timing really, just have to wait for it now. Pretty excited

Did you mention it before Monday Dave? Did you? Did you really? Dave, I really wouldn't recommend you engaging with a fan of another football club. Dave. This is the toontastic message board MKII.Sans-Ant version, Dave, I'm afraid I can't read your response, Dave. My vision is still at a perfect operating 20/20 but it's a TL;DR malfunction predicted after the first sentence, Dave.

Screw that, let's treat this like a Pardew cup tie

As tweets go, this takes some beating

Shit! someone giffed RobinRobin

Here is an amp absolutely PERFECT for you, it's even got xG :

You're a more canny operator than Dave though. Honestly he's pure babes in the wood. He'd go in for headphones and walk out with two column speakers gaffer taped to his ears.

Like they're his favourite band or something. You should play ignorant and be all "Oh you like The Great Reset? Name three of their albums"

Don't worry, Rents will fill us all in on the predictions via this medium 😉

We were waiting for Diego's view

WELCOME WONGA GILLIAN

Tl:dr

Three responses and not one asking if he hates Sunderland anaarl? Very much Mag behaviour.

Leicester fan in peace here. Based on the fact you seem to be spending sensibly and not willing to have your pants pulled down. I'd be very surprised if this transfer happens, purely because we're not in a position to let Madders go unless some team is paying massively over the odds. I think it'd take £70 million to make the deal happen. Considering our only decent attacking options in midfield are Barnes and Maddison. Selling Maddison would be suicide. I hear you say "oh, but you can replace him with the money". My question would be then, if that magical player exists at this point, why are Newcastle not in for him? We've got a Spanish player in his peak years who is available for much less and has tonnes of premier league experience if you're looking to nick one of our attacking midfielders

As a bloke who ACTUALLY HAD GINGER DREADS, you're not allowed to participate in this discussion, fucking Knob Marley!

Judge Dread more like it, with your chinese mouse screaming "I am the law!"

Reading all the threads predicting financial apocalypse today has prompted me to just uninstall twitter. I don't doubt there are some tough times ahead, I just don't need to read everyone's 30 post threads of horrific predictions.

Mint. I don't think I could cope with lab energy but having a dog is class. Not surprised you're missing having one around the place.

Still underrated iyam…obviously recognised as a great player but look at the variety of goals here …

Understandable. Hurtful, but I get it.

Looks like a hideous version of a young agnetha from ABBA.

It's been a looooong day but that's got me crying tbh.

If we’re going for ships, Cutty Snark.

Gemmill’s pubes look like he’s on Mick Hucknall’s shoulders

Looks like the next video is gonna be a Luke Edwards takedown.

Nah. He has had a pretty average career so far, plays in a position we don’t particularly need and I’m not sure we were ever actually interested.

Seems like you need a new LG TV with Dolby Atmos soundbar- it sounds crazy.…

What’s happening with your lot? Is it FFP that’s stopping you from buying anyone?

Parents of mate of the Mrs, lived on Islay and the old fella was friends with several of the local master distillers, he had dozens of bottles of “the angel’s share” as he called it.

Nothing wrong with looking at spreadsheets all day. It's quite the sexy way to lead your life, I'll have you know.

In the Premier League Dubravka has made nearly twice as many errors leading to goals as Pope.

Dropped a bollock, so to speak?

There's no doubting his ability and quality, I just don't see him as the right fit for what Ashworth, Howe et al are trying to achieve here.

He’s going to need a bit cash, like
