Leicester turn loans into equity
at 20:46 1 Feb 2023

Clive (or other more knowledgeable posters than me) what is there to stop our owners (Tony for instance) paying for naming rights for Lotus Road? We are all aware than many other clubs have sold the naming rights to their grounds Emirates, Eithad, DW Stadium etc.

There's a clear commercial benefit to having the ground name referred to constantly by commentators etc so it seems to me it would be very unreasonable for FFP rules to disallow owners from paying for naming rights where they could easily argue that there is a commercial value to them in doing so. You could go further and say where is the point of difference in naming rights of the ground and shirt sponsorship. I do recall that Man C. had some push back because the fee they were paid was regarded as artificially high but it shouldn't be beyond the wit of man for the board to work out a reasonable value to pay for this commercial benefit to for instance Air Asia (I'm not even sure Tony still owns AA but you take my point)..

On the subject of the board I personally think they need to be applauded. Undoubtedly mistakes were made previously but the financial losses they have incurred would make the Sultan of Brunei wince and none of us should lose sight of the fact that without their ongoing support there might not even be a club to discuss.

I’m sure it must have been correct but can someone explain to me why Hull were allowed four substitutes against us when Matt Ingram was injured yet we couldn’t sub off DM today??
