It’s at times like this you’ve got to ask yourself what would Geoff Sheard do (WWGSD). Unfortunately the answer is (and always is) get a rim job from 3 or 4 hangers on and then get taken to court for not paying a TV aerial installation bill. So not that helpful really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it funny some people are complaining about a club using a loophole in the rules , when our owner has just done exactly the same and sold the ground to himself to inject revenue.

Bluesteel Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Just now, Mr Farrell said: Don't get me wrong, it paints Leicester as waankers. We on the other hand are fiddling about with ground ownership, fake taxis and fake drinks companies. Do we really want to be morally outraged and look like boobies ? I don’t think it’s just a moral thing though, they have tried to get around something more important to the game than whether we can spend. If other big clubs do this and drain talent there will be no Academies. Someone could be made an example of to prevent this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is, vast majority of clubs are trying to get round FFP, for good reasons, whereas only Leicester have done this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) Instead of moaning about the loop hole we should just be doing a similar thing ourselves assuming that Chansiri is still saying he’d chuck millions at us if he was allowed. Buy Bangkok United or the likes for a few dollar and then get them to buy Fox and Nuhiu for £80 million a piece FFP sorted and half of Owlstalk can gloat about one of them in particular being one of the highest value players ever Whats not to like Edited July 5, 2019 by Ian 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdan2003 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Ah that old chestnut is doing the rounds is see - We’re not allowed to be annoyed by Hirst’s actions, because...wait for it...we’ve used some loop holes to get around a poorly implemented and pretty unfair P&S system. Still paying our bills, still paying our players and staff, still paying our taxes. Hirst's camp weren’t interested in P&S rules when they demanded daft wages for an unproven kid. Same as any player. Could argue that clubs get into trouble because of agents and players making demands. Let’s be honest, players hold all the cards these days. Of all the criticisms I’ve got of Chansiri, the Hirst saga isn’t one. A However you look at it; We paid for his development over a long period of time. Paid for his hotels, his travel, his medical bills. Maybe he doesn’t owe the club anything, but as the club that developed him we deserved to get some payment - might not have been much, but leaves a bad taste given the fact we desperately need some revenue for the flippin P&S gonads. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what else we could have done on that front? How do you know the financial details of his contract , is this common knowledge or guesswork ?

prowl Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Serve Leicester right if Manu U and City did the same trick to poach all the good prospects from their development teams. I don't agree it should be permited but payback can be a *****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
