Nucasol Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 23 minutes ago, Jackie Broon said: Leicester probably don't have an issue with FFP. They had losses of £60m in 19/20 and £31m in 20/21 but they have claimed covid costs of £50m which will be discounted from that for the FFP calculation. So that's a FFP loss of at most £40 for 19/20 and 20/21 (in reality it will be less than that because there are other expenses that can be discounted). PL FFP allows losses of up to £105m over three seasons, so they could have lost up to £65m in 21/22 and still been ok, which they won't have because they only lost £31m in 20/21 when most games were played to empty stadiums. This season they're in an improved position because their £60m loss in 19/20 no longer counts towards FFP and the majority of their covid costs (£36m) are from 20/21, so that wipes out all of their loss from that year and leave them with the full £105 loss allowance for 21/22 and 22/23. I think their need to sell is more to do with the owners wanting to cut costs and reduce a bloated squad. 105% wages:turnover ratio too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 That Kevin Maguire football finances guy said Leicester's wages were at 85% of turnover or whatever that metric is. The level to aim for is below 70%. That 85% is with fans in the stadium. It was higher without them before, as Nucasol says above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been other owners since City who have gone absolutely bananas in the transfer market — Everton! Nah Moshiri has spent money in the transfer market but it's not the same as City and what we are likely to do. And what Abramovic. You need to big rich enough to write-off and invest several billion pounds. Moshiri can't and won't do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxedup Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 On 05/08/2022 at 19:43, JumpersForGoalposts said: I can't help but feel that Leicester are going to really struggle this season, especially if anything happens to Vardy, who as an aging pace based player could see his abilities fall off a cliff any time now. They look a bit like Southampton did when all of their quality players were grabbed by 'big' clubs - didn't help them one bit. If I were Maddison I'd be really wary of planning on staying. Clearly not his call to accept the bid, but if Rogers sees that his heart isn't in Leicester... We’ve lost an ageing keeper who was on the decline ffs. Whilst not on his level, Daka and Iheanacho have both scored plenty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their need to sell is more to do with the owners wanting to cut costs and reduce a bloated squad. It’s FFP, but the UEFA FFP and not the premier league one. We obviously have designs on playing in Europe, so you have to keep within them, but it’s not really a massive deal. Plus we just need to move players on to bring players in. But we don’t have to sign players do we. And before anyone says it… I’m on holiday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 A plucky point at home to their relegation rivals. Bet Maddison is desperate for his move to a big club and fighting for Europe with Bruno and Big Joe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Utd have similar ownership have managed to absorb missing out on CL qualification a few times. It's not as big of a deal as it used to be with the amount clubs earn from the PL. Looks like Man U might be signing Marko Arnautovic to replace Ronaldo. A bdget savvy reposte to Haaland no doubt! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's irrelevant to their current spending, which is what was being discussed. Also, the new owner paid more for the club than Abramovich paid and put in.

Conjo Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Not bothered. We need RW & striker more. I don't think we play as dominant against Forest as we did if he was playing ahead of Willock who was brilliant in the pressing to regain possession in their half.
