Because they are all irrelevant to the original point. Debts were not paid. I find that unacceptable, you don't have to. So what you are saying is you don't actually have a clue what the club has paid back and to whom through their charitable donations. There is no mechanism for paying debts of ano...

What are you looking for, a medal?
Did they pay the for ambulances?

A medal? No. How about facts?

Why don't you go through all of the charities accounts and see if they haven't donated to them.

Bravo.

So what ambulance service do you use now?

Whichever one we want I'd imagine.

foxedup

On checking I believe it was The East Midlands Ambulance Service, not sure if that is St. John's. It doesn't make non-payment any less disgraceful whichever service. There have been calls for the new regime to pay it back (approximately one decent player's wage for a week!) now that they are mega-w...

Those were the days when clubs could literally wipe out any debt without any penalty, yet keep all their players. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2002/oct/22/newsstory.sport5 Ipswich did the same. Quite simply, there should have been only one penalty - both clubs should be have been made to se...

Starting with the ambulance bill.

They have helped build a children's hospital in the city with a £2m donation.

Are these the same wonderful owners that sanctioned the massive overspend in '13/'14 to gain promotion? e.g Wages of £27m compared to our £15m and even Derby £13m. As a result failed to comply with FFP which suddenly saw a company called Trestellar emerging and providing 'sponsorship' of £11million...

Ours have done similar things in respect to the infrastructure of the club etc. I'm aware money doesn't always make everything work.

Oh and just to add, Ranieri has not donated £1.5m to the foundation as far as anyone knows. This was some random nonsense posted on a facebook page and then spread to make him look even more lovable.

Horrible club owners. I didn't like Pearson either but they sacked him after a miraculous escape from relegation to I instill Ranieri.

What surprises me is the complete lack of faith that the Leicester fans and board have in the manager AND PLAYERS to put a sequence of results together to survive relegation. This is a team who lost 3 games in 38 prem games (wasn't it 47 if u include the last 9 games of the 14/15season?)... I watch...

Truly pathetic this, if Dyche did what CR did with our club he'd have a damn statue outside turf moor and a contract with no expiry date on it.

Disgrace. Almost as much of a disgrace as the leicester fans who want him out. Fans wonder why players and managers have no loyalty these days. Well im sorry this is why.

Rowett? For defending champions that's setting the bar way too low. There will be better managers than that willing to join with the prestige in which you are held currently.

My feeling is that the owners were bricking it at the prospect of relegation. It's not just that honestly, this is very much a long term decision.

Would you like Pearson back Foxedup? No, not for me. I loved the bloke and respect 100% how he tried to run a club.

We get relegated and keep our manager. A team owned by foreigners win the PL and are in the last 16 of the CL and sack their manager. What a contrast.

Why? Have many of them gone bankrupt because they weren't paid, just as quite a number in Portsmouth and other places did? I have no idea.

My view is that Ranieri had little idea what was going on last season. The team picked itself, they won the title despite him, not because of him. No change this season. He was definitely part of it last season, nobody can deny that. It's a crappy analog and I apologise for it, but it's like Pearso...
