Ranieri donates £1.5m to Leicester Charity

Ours have done similar things in respect to the infrastructure of the club etc.

I'm aware money doesn't always make everything work.

Yeah I remember an interview with Dyche from about a year or so ago, where he talked about all the investment off the pitch. I actually thought there were always quite a few similarities with how the clubs went about things. I think Pearson and Dyche seem to manager in a similar way I think, with a lot of focus on teamwork and spirit and getting value for money. Even the way they went about building their teams in terms of makeup, with a lot of british players (or players who have been in the country for years at least). One might be better talking to the press though

Then the owners invested in the clubs foundations like yours. The obvious difference being they chucked a fair amount of their own cash into it. Fair play for what you've achieved without doing that. Ironically, our success came as they started cutting back.

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 to increase their Income which just so happened to be the amount required to avoid payment of the Fair Play fine. A gigantic amount for a company with an address on an industrial estate in Sheffield with one employee, no website and no telephone number. A well described fraud of a club by quoonbeatz on here.

When Bournemouth also overspent to gain promotion at least they had the good grace to accept and pay their Fair Play fine of £8m without resorting to the sort of creative accounting that was deemed acceptable by the wonderful owners of Leicester City.

You think fans care particularly? This was their own money, they didn't load debts against the club. If a rich owner wants to put their own money in, then as far as I'm concerned they should be free to do so, as long as it isn't racking up debts against the club and putting them at risk. At the end of the day, that's what the rules should be for... not stopping business owners from investing in their own company.

So yes... they are great owners.

charity begins at home.
The snakes or Foxes dependant on which paper you read should first pay the debts they dodged by going into Administration!

Starting with the ambulance bill.

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

I've just agreed with Merson......that can't be good.

Did Ranieri make 'average' players 'stars' or did the players make an 'average' manager a 'star'.

Can we sign him to run our reserve side now?

Did Ranieri make 'average' players 'stars' or did the players make an 'average' manager a 'star'.

Probably a bit of both, a lot of being in the right place at the right time.
I can't recall any other season where so many of the top clubs were in a bit of a mess at the same time.
