Who's under contract to be better than?

Backpacking?! 😄

What international team sheet?

The point was missed by you...just sayin' 😉

Pot.

FIFY. They got pelters at the time they were here.

I think that maybe there was luck, maybe there was 'cheating', maybe they found their Mac1, etc. So maybe you need to make sure 'the wind is blowing in the right direction' for luck to happen. #COYR

Lol. They were so good at it they did it again! I was asking about how they made their 'lucky signings', seems that spotting Mahrez helped. But interestingly the huge wages paid relates to promotion bonuses: "Leicester’s 2013-14 accounts state they spent £36m on players’ wages, £5m more than the club’s entire income – the goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, the captain Wes Morgan, the prolific striker Jamie Vardy and other core players were already on the payroll then – although Leicester said £9.4m comprised bonuses paid on promotion. During the season, in January 2014, Leicester signed Riyad Mahrez from Le Havre for a reported £560,000, and the Algeria midfielder has since been instrumental in Leicester’s promotion and remarkable Premier League turnaround." If you look for info on Luton's finances - who we should aim to be like according to one poster - then their current losses are down to 'huge' promotion bonuses. It all goes on still. How to stop football clubs spending money? 😉

I don't know enough about Leicester's rise to success, but did they 'fall lucky' in their signings then?

Of course not. 😄 No-one on here has suggested "throw everything up in the air and take risks". Well unless you mean the risk of operating a Championship club without enough money coming in? Like now? You don't want Yanks in but are you wanting yet another 'home grown fan', like Pickering? Like Mel? Like who then? Longson?

Lol. No evidence then, so how long do we wait?

Were is your evidence that being a 'middling' club and waiting (how long for?!) is any less risky than looking for investment for the Club? Typical reply of 'throw everything up in the air' to make it seem that there's only ever one result from looking for more money! 😄

The rams on tour. I presume! 😄

Bless. But it's quite plain to see the difficult decision was the right one for him and us.

Yep. And if we want to compete at a higher level then now is the right time to find investment, whilst we still have things to offer that other Championship or League 1 clubs don't. Memories aren't necessarily long in football - see the Lionel Pickering thread for our own fans remembering ability. So we need to capitalise on who we are and how we might compete before investors look for another Wrexham. Chesterfield maybe?! #COYR

In which case he's not a great fullback then after watching him play it. Maybe a wingback, maybe a winger.

Rooney's not a fullback, neither is Wilson. They're as much fullbacks as Sibley.

And the reason we had one fullback?

Out of interest, we didn't need a back three last season why do we need one this? Just shift Bradley on, he was the reason for the three.

I agree. He needs to be somewhere that will allow that player to reappear. Staying here and playing LWB isn't going to do it. Good luck Sibs, go somewhere that you can play forwards and score some goals.
