It Could Get A Bit Messi In Here - The Football Thread.

Would an ownership change benefit Leicester?

How? They have extremely wealthy and generous owners without whom they’d likely still be floating aimlessly in the championship or below. I think they were third tier when they came in. PSR nonsense rules mean that you can’t do an Abramovich or City anymore.

They also might have points deduction coming their way soon....

It should be 2 to 2. They've been unlucky today. Especially the cross bar shot

Part of me admires the way they’ve managed to play the prem and the football league off and get away with it two years in a row in different leagues!

I just don't think they've done well during the last few windows. Maybe my complaint shouldn't be about ownership. Sometimes I am impatient!

Wasn't it announced that there would be no charges?

They had several chances in the 1st. Their defense isn't very good.

wait you're right. I saw news of the ruling being announced soon, but didn't see the follow up

I think PSR rules have prevented them spending big and when you’re looking for bargains it’s always going to be more hit and miss.

They managed to win an argument that because one of the years was in the championship that the PL couldn’t include it I they calculations. They successfully argued the opposite to get out of Football League charges last year. The Premier League have challenged that interpretation and it’s gone to an arbitration panel for a final decision from what I understand.

Weird season. This'll be 6 losses in our last 8 PL games. That Liverpool match in the EFL cup really changed the perspective for Ange. The league is finished right now. As long as Spurs don't get relegated who cares. However, 1-0 lead going into Anfield is not safe. Kinksy has been a short revelation, but is not immune to some of Spurs' shortfalls as we've seen today. Some fans have Spurs in the cup final already which is majorly counting chickens before they hatch. EFL Cup + not relegated is a 10/10 season IMO. But I worry Liverpool turn over the scoreline at home and/or Newcastle with the form they're in beat us in the final anyways.

Apparently Naymar could be heading to MLS.
I feel sorry for that team.
