Seth's left foot Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I don't really look at their table but I am shocked that Palace haven't improved as I think their team is better than Leicester's. losing Kante has exposed their slow CB's and adding foreign players to the squad instead of Albrighton, King etc must surely damage the team ethic. They also seem to raise their game for the Champions league, the extra games however must affect them. Prediction time: Hull, Sunderland and Leicester to go down. What a journey they've had though, I would gladly swap places with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 So IF they get relegated and IF they somehow won the CL, would they stlll be allowed to play in the CL next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're now regretting not fleecing Arsenal of £40 Million for 'baccy-chewing Jamie. Also, Ranieri (sp?) hasn't the personality to turn it round. Too nice a guy. I remember when Cloughie won the title at Derby, he said the hardest thing was trying to motivate the players the next season, having achieved what seemed an impossible pinnacle the season before, and le'ts face it, the weren't many greater motivators than Sir Brian. Claudio doesn't stand a chance. Has he gone yet? £20,800,000. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimbeard Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Will Leicester go down? Surely the only reasonable response to this question is.... Who cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rample Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 If they can pick up 1 or 2 results they can go on enough of a run to get out of it so I wouldn't bet against them. Reality is Ranieri probably has the rest of this month at best so it depends who picks up the mantle. I'd say looking at the upturn of several teams they definitely could go down. Very surprised they didn't strengthen more in summer and then in winter - should have shelled out massively on a centre half and striker at least. They really do need 3 better defenders - that is pretty much a championship back 4 they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Couldn't believe people wetting themselves over Wes Morgan last season. He's showing his true class this year, like we saw when he played against us at Forest. Anyone got that video clip to hand? And the laughing chimp.

History says they were Champions. Sorry but history doesn't say Arsenal were poo and Spurs blew it. Fantastic achievement. If they go down I don't think too many Leicester fans would be that upset. Someone copied a piece off their forum slagging off all the players.... Ahhhh how fickle the football fan can be . And they are in top twenty richest clubs in the world. 17th I think!! Not bad going I'd say. Now let's dismantle em!! SSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeytennis12345 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 YES YES YES !! I had the misfortune of living in Leicestershire for 12 years and ended up hating them more than the Red Dogs.

If true then presumably the players all start getting their agents to get them moves away. But at least the club is financially protected to some extent. Quite how much protection that gives them I don't know. Isn't the parachute payment about 25m per season v about 90m min for staying in prem?

RadioactiveWaste Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 If its true that some of their players are on £100k/wk then a 40% drop is still a big salery for championship players. If they don't all jump off, of course.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look nothing like the team of last season, their players look dejected and completely off their game, their whole game is designed around counter attacking footie with pace, yet this season its gone to pot and their Manager has no real answers.

ramsbottom Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I can remember on here, asking for the odds of them being relegated once they'd won the title, and was quoted 50-1. Wish I'd chucked £20 on it now. Unfortunately, I'll think they'll end up mid-table, on Sunday it only takes and early Marez (sp) free-kick and a scrappy, backs to the wall 1-0 win to give them some belief back. let's hope Claudio realises his situation and rests most of their team for tonight. If Chelsea win it this year, with Kante in their side, expect Barca, Madrid, Bayern & PSG falling over themselves to sign him. The man even makes Drinkwater look international class...

Sparkle Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 There is still the cloudy issue of their FFP when they were last in the championship and what is being done about it, and yes the same for QPR as well but at least plucky old Bournmouth have paid theirs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Le Mesmer Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I remember just after the start of the season Adrian Durham on talksport having a phone in about Leicester getting relegated as he thought it wasn't that ridiculous a suggestion and the abuse and criticism he got from some touchy Foxes fans was embarrassing. Maybe have that phone in again and see what happens now? You'd have thought that if ANY clubs fans wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the seemingly improbable then it would be Leicester. If they can win the league out of nowhere one year then they can get relegated out of nowhere the next. To be fair I think most Leicester fans would appreciate this. It's just those complete knobs you get ringing up radio stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
