nice to see there owner coming out and saying those kind of things,would never get anything like that here.about the only thing we would get is thanks for spening your money and putting it in our pockets.
they seriously need to go up this year tho.look out how much money they have spend on transfers let alone wages etc."birch said he rated u btw luke, congrats"

Firstly - the Leicester business model is completely unsustainable. Even ours is only just about sustainable despite our meagre outlays on transfers. And for all intents and purposes I'd say that we are similar sized clubs.
Secondly - It's all well and good buying your way to the top. But they should have absolutely walked it last year given their squad. Ergo money doesn't guarantee success. And when you do it the way we did it - it feels so much better.
So yes. I'd love our owners to chuck a bit more money about. But. In reality I'd rather have a sustainable future so that when our owners leave and perhaps we are not so wealthy, we can maintain our place at the top table. I.e. not doing a Pompey etc.Comment

They have spent 9.5 million, with a fantastic chance of going up. They will get 30k crowds also.Firstly - the Leicester business model is completely unsustainable.

Think its a fantastic gamble tbh.Comment

whats the PL worth? I heard figures of 90mill banded around Im sure? That said, surely its worth throwing 15mill at a season to get you up? Obviously its easy to spend other people money, but you would think businessmen would be able to see the benefit of it all
You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.Comment

Exactly, so its very sustainable by spending 9.5 to get there, its all about managing it correctly once you're there!!Comment

Thats the difference ..... How refreshing that must be to hear from a fans perspective ...
Great PR and feel good factor all round ...
Why couldnt our owners have said/done something similar ...
What exactly have they done ... They funded extra wages - granted, but lets not be under any illusion - Neil Warnock was the key to our success.
Without him and that squad, i actually doubt we would have been promoted.
T & C must have been rubbing their hands with glee ...
What about looking at our infrastructure such as improved training facilities, new ground proposals etc - nadder
Ok so they may be spending (realtive peanuts), but then are you telling me that our two clowns plus the seemingly not interested Mr Mittal, could not afford to take the hit without even blinking ....
In terms of their wealth they have spent virtually nothing ...
Our ride to the Prem could have been so much more enjoyable with a bit more foresight from our owners
This Fernandes is only being used as a patsy to get Mittal to open his wallet -that to me is clear ...Comment

Liecester have spent a lot of money on mainly good solid players for the Championship and imo they will go up,but then the problem kicks in , is this good this expensive championship squad on longish contracts good enough to keep them up,long contract with well paid players is something QPR know aboutComment
