They literally had the new ground built knowing they would never have to pay for it, bought Vardy under the same circumstances and to this day refuse to pay an outstanding bill of £16000 to St Johns Ambulance because they knew how to manipulate the system! A horrible little club who continue to push the boundaries for personal gain! Edited June 25, 2018 by casbahowl 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Grandad 13,886 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Thats a great article - was aware of most of that stuff but when you see it all laid out like that - its absolutely disgusting isnt it. There are rules around administration that prevent you from making anyone a preferential creditor - which is why the Ambulance guys have still not been paid - but there would be absolutely nothing to prevent Leicester from paying them more for a season to cover the debt. The fact they havent says it all. Its all just part and parcel of money, greed and football these days and thats why so many are falling out of love with the game. Even in the championship these days its often a case of watching 22 millionaires kicking a ball about - and thats totally wrong. I spent a fair few games watching a couple of non league sides last year all over South Yorkshire and beyond - and the lack of any money at those clubs is so sad given the £billions sloshing around in our Premiership.When the FA are seriously considering a sale of Wembley to invest in grassroots football (thats gone quiet) it shows just how little is filtering through. The Hirst affair is just one small blip in a cacophony of bad noise at the top of the game. Its shocking that rules exist that allow this kind of thing to happen to clubs like us that are desperately throwing money we don't have to try and join the same party. To me at least, I'm really not sure its a party I want to go to. Football as we knew it, is dead. 1 "The best poster on Owlstalk by far" - Kaven Walker Link to post Share on other sites

They’ve lied and cheated for years to gain an unfair advantage and because they’ve been allowed to get away with it they brazenly exploit a situation where the legality is questionable but the morality is simply wrong knowing from previous history that they’ll be allowed to get away with it !

While its correct to compare the two - there is a huge difference in the scale of how much is involved. But yes - non-existent taxi companies (however soon they may arrive) and drinks companies chucking £1m at us to circumvent FFP rules is another example of loopholes being used to exploit the system "The best poster on Owlstalk by far" - Kaven Walker Link to post Share on other sites
