[ees complicated no?]

If true which it probs is, I think Leicester are for sure going to run the championship and be clear winners sort of foward i would of like to seen but obvs wages would be far to high !!

I saw that in the Telegraph this morning ans nearly choked on my bacon.

Keane said recently on SSN that he doesn't want to play in the Championship because he feels he is still a premiership player..

 

[Betfair Bozo]

Keane hasn't had a decent game for anyone other than the Republic for ages.

How the hell does Sven seem to get these plum jobs with loads of cash at his desposal? I would love to see what he would be like managing a team without top players or loads of cash!

Because he only agrees to manage clubs that will give me £millions and £millions to spend

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Wages could be £30 or £40k/week. Jesus Leicester are intent on buying their way out of this division.

I wonder if that was his boyhood "Dream Club" that he always wanted to play for. Oh no that was Liverpool and Celtic and possibly Totenham

I'm sure if Leicester screw up this season and don't get promotion they may find themselves in deep financial problems.

I think they have some very serious backing LondonBlue

Any idea who? Did Sven bring them with him? He seems to know his fair share of Arab billionaires.

Well no, just Liverpool and Celtic. Perfectly understandable - if I was a footballer I would say the same about playing for the Albion & Celtic, plenty on here would say Albion & Rangers, or other teams around Europe.

 

[Rugrat]

Splashing out the cash doesn't guarantee anything - will take time for these guys to settle, get to know each other and adapt to styles and the way Sven wants to play. They're still one of the obvious favourites but it's a roll of the dice for sure and there are plenty of other strong candidates for the 2 auto berths.

 

[7:18]

crikey that would be one helluva squad...however, with so many other strong teams this year, its going to be really close and down to the wire for automatic and playoff places I think!

 

[Skaville]

Past it. Never worth £3 million.

If they pay him 40k a week I really don't think he'll give a shit. I think £3 million is actually a fair price but not when you factor in his wages!! If Leicester don't make the grade this year they'll be f***ed surely?

100% agree it will make or break them I feel

 

[Rich Suvner]

I'm sure if Leicester screw up this season and don't get promotion they may find themselves in deep financial problems.

Considering that it was Leicester City's promotion on the back of unsustainabile finances in 2002/03 that resulted in the introduction of points deductions for entering administration, it would certainly appear that some clubs never learn. And that the system has not really changed. A bit like the economic/banking system.

If one thing has been proven, big money men don't always equate to stable regimes.

We have, he was manager of England at the time.

remember last season and Boro went for it and were clear favourites. They imploded and and now look at them. A mid table at best chapmionship side with attendences averaging around 16-18,000. So just because you buy big it dosen't mean you will get success.
