Yeah a good friend of mine is a Leicester fan and he was pretty much writing off the final 4 games and I doubt they would have got the points against Man Utd without the hooligans (sorry if you disagree) at Old Trafford.
It’s why I thought our final run might come in handy at the start of the season , as I said our record at Burnley had been good and Palace didn’t concern me so much, I expected we would pick up points at Newcastle mind. Man Utd was the only one that majorly concerned me in that but as it was we made up at least 2 of the points we dropped.
Winner of the Golden Bog Boot the last two campaigns. It’s a big step up from the bog to the billiard table pitches of the Prem, though. Haven’t really seen him play much so can’t say. Just smells faintly of the dragging (and attempted dragging) of certain Swansea players to Liverpool.
I’ve found Bertrand one of the rare individual positives from Southampton in last years, thought he merited playing in a better side. Perhaps why he decided to run down his contract a while ago and get a final go higher up the table. It was clear Leicester need another option on the left, not really replacing Chilwell when he left.
I find their matchday and commercial revenue too low. Considering their recent good runs and a (potentially) captive audience, it could have been higher, no?
Was reading through that thread and Ramble seemed to think this years accounts would look better. It’s really impressive the work he puts into these and I love reading them.
For me, finances in pro football are always fascinating.
EDIT: I’ve read 2 books dedicated to the money in football and I’m often left with the perception everything is always teetering on a razors edge.
