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??

Agreed and that’s why I’m advocating a championship manager rather than a Pardew or one of the Premiership roundabout managers.....

That’s fair but he’s gone and there’s no way the board are reaching out in that direction. We need to look forward! Is McClaren the answer or do we move on quickly in another direction?

Crystal Palace realised after four games they made a mistake with De Boer and parted company and appointed Woy! Not sexy. Probably not popular with supporters but better than being in Chumpionship...

We need to think in the same way....

Responding to dachiltern

I think this is a classic case of asking a structural engineer to dig a hole in your back garden for a pond!!! We just need someone to dig a hole(obv not literally which is what’s occurred).We need a manager with contacts, credit in the bank with some players, and someone who can get the best out of what we’ve got basically a poor mans NW!!

And let’s be honest we’re so poor Oxfam would turn us away as beyond salvation...

I agree FFP has probably relegated us!! However MM might find a way. This is a time for assessing what we’ve got and getting them to play as a unit we just need to finish fourth worse however ugly that becomes....

I think we’re beyond that now...

Give MM a contract until summer of 2020.Let him stabilise the club hopefully keep us in the division and by then the financial legacy issues will be behind us and hopefully we move on as RRRR’s together....

I never thought I would advocate this solution either but we need nous, knowledge of the division, ability to get draws away from home, someone who can get us to 50points and we can’t afford Gareth to learn on the job...

I’ve never posted before!

I’m on holiday in Cyprus!

I’m actually glad that the season ticket’s I buy every year for my son and I are going unused!

I bet Webb Simpson to win the American golf at the weekend. He shot 8 under on Sunday and still finished second by three shots!!! Where’s the relationship between a millionaire American golfer and championship footballers? Professional pride!! Understanding of what needed to be done? No give up!

Ian Holloway was QPR through and through but I felt he had to go. I still feel that..

Is McClaren the answer? Probably not!

We need someone who can simplify what we are asking the players to do.

Make us hard to beat.

Not aggravate the opposition into over performing.

Make us nasty.

For me it’s Mick McCarthy. I understand it’s not sexy but neithers L1 and that’s where we are going.....
