Jinky Jim Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Presumably the Leicester City one will be twice as good as it's costing twice as much- https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/drone-footage-shows-progress-leicester-3412746 It's all very depressing It’s just down the road from me.....it’s a former 18 hole golf course. They’ve managed to keep some of the holes and therefore a 9 hole golf course after training for the players.....What do we have...a plastic pool and wheelie bins for their entertainment.

It's just incredible how our local press have managed to connive with Ashley to sleepwalk us into oblivion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 God knows how they've spent 100M on a training ground and 100M on players over the summer. Like Charnley once told The Chronicle: “It is about priorities. “There is a pot of money. Where is the greater need? At this time it’s on field. “It’s not unreasonable, the pot of money can only go so far. “You go and spend it on the training ground it means there is less to spend on the team. “Spend it on the Academy, there is less to spend on the team. “Spend too much on wages, there’s less to spend on the team. “That doesn’t mean we don’t spend in all those areas, because we do, but our view has been at this point in time the priority is what goes on to the field.” “It doesn’t mean we don’t want to update the training ground. “Does it mean at some point in time we would like to update the training ground? Absolutely, yes. “It is about priorities. It doesn’t stop us doing what we need to do on a daily basis. “Our pitches are very good, our gym is perfectly adequate and functional. “Do we have a swimming pool or water facilities? No. “Would we like to have it at some stage? Absolutely.” They need to sort their priorities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tribesman Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 This is Leicester's new training ground. Even Bournemouth have plans in place to build a state of the art training ground.

Tribesman Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Charnley's saying that the club don't spend money on a new training ground or upgrading current facilities in order to prioritise first team squad signings is just another excuse from the club. Remember a few years ago when the club went three transfer windows in a row without making a permanent signing, what were the priorities then?

Conjo Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 A part of me wish they just made an exclusive super league so we can start to watch a more fair and balanced Premier League.

Kanj Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Pro Bruce press aka the “calm down collective” as I’ll call them from now on are fucking disgraceful. You can’t be a journalist of any sport and be as disrespectful to the actual fans themselves and tell them what they can and can’t feel. Some of these journalists support other teams and they have the fucking backbone to tell us that we’re wrong and they are right and we should be letting Bruce get on with it for now. No. Fuck off.
