I'm pretty sure all clubs (including Leicester) entered into a gentlemans agreement regarding these fair play rules about finances. It's not actually a rule but all 24 championship clubs agreed to try and abide by the same rules. Leicester however seem to have their own plans. They are fked if they don't go up

It took them a few years and a fair amout of chopping and changing of managers to eventually get there, think im just trying to clutch at straws in the hope that Leicester dont run away with the league :lol:

How exactly did QPR buy the League {last season]?

They were the best of an average division.

It'll all go pear shaped for Leicester.

This time last year there was a clear favourite for the league because of their pre-season spending. Middlesborough.

Wonder what happened to them ;)

I said weeks ago when they were after this player or that player and snapping up the other thatthey are beginning to build with a definate signal of intent to go up. However if they don't go up an after all nout is guaranteed in this league, how many of the cheques being written out will become 'loan notes', just like hammam did to us.

If they continue to spend it will take at least the first 12 games to gel and even then it isn't a given.

They've bought in some good players but they've heaped massive pressure and expectations on themselves.

They were 10th last season without being of any significant importance in the league and only really had King and Bamba who were stand out players.

They'll need more than 4 players to be a credible threat this season I think, particularly for automatic promotion
