Leicester scores again but if the scoreline at Goodison Park holds up, it will be meaningless❗️

This is tough. I now want Leicester to survive not Everton as the thought of Ndidi and Nacho relegation sinks in, they're the only 2 players from our youth setup. Iwobi will be OK if relegated

The funny thing is that not too long ago Westham were in the relegation fight.

So glad Leicester was relegated. They thought they could sell off their players not strengthen their squad, not play the likes of Kele, hold on to a clearly failing coach for long and not suffer the consequences…

What players did they sell? They messed up
By not firing Rodgers a long time ago. They also screwed up in the transfer market 2 seasons ago.

The look on Ihenacho's face at the final whistle of the Everton game.. na wao.

Meanwhile congrats to Iwobi for a well deserved survival.

And Leicester go down, hopefully they fix up board issues and come back to the Prem.

Iheanacho will definitely move to a mid table PL side or top decent Seria A club, still has a lot of quality.

I'm worried for Ndidi, with his worrying injury record and fast decline, I'm not so sure any club will want to risk it buying him, our boys career might just be done at 26 if he doesn't get a good physio to recondition his fitness.

PL has 3 rolled into 1 league format.

1, CL qualification. About 6 teams are good enough to compete. 1 will win the league.

2, Europa league and guaranteed PL status. 8 teams compete to make Europa and automatically avoid relegation battles.

3, Relegation Trophy. 6 teams fight for survival in the PL to keep the $ money rolling and hope of staying in the league. They have nothing else to play for.

The word from inside Leicester is that Ndidi needs a full off season to recondition himself and he’ll be fine. But I think he’ll be playing in the Championship next season as you say.

Nacho is a tough one. He so clearly makes Leicester better but the fact he can also be a luxury in the modern game may hurt him. I can’t see who would want him in the Prem. Italy feels like the right place for him to head.

It’s been an odd season in Europe for the SE. Osimhen, Awoniyi, Chukwueze and until he ran out of gas Lookman had good seasons. Onyeka played his part too in a great Brentford season. Moffi made a big move.

But too many of our guys especially in the Prem scraped the bottom with Onuachu, Aribo, Nacho and Ndidi all relegated. Nantes had a sub-par season too.

Their keeper, the young French CB they sold to Chelsea were the biggest and I’m sure others and didn’t add in any competent new blood to the team. Not firing Rodgers soon enough was also a big mistake…

Wesley Fofana you mean. The guy refused to train once Chelsea were seriously interested in his services. Selling Schmeichel was a big mistake but the biggest mistake was starting that basket Danny Ward for 26 games before realizing that Iversen is the better keeper.

It did not matter which of Everton and Leicester got relegated because Iwobi, Iheanacho, and Ndidi are not going to play in the Championship. Even if they want to stay Leicester will be pushing Iheanacho and Ndidi out of the door because they cannot afford to pay Premier League salaries in the Championship. Leicester will have a massive clear out (Maddison, Tielemans, Barnes, Evans etc). The only way Iheanacho and Ndidi will stay is if they agree to take a massive pay cut (something elite professional footballers are not known for).

Iheanacho and Ndidi would struggle to get any takers in the Premier League especially Ndidi.

Oddly enough I think Ndidi is the more likely of the two to remain in the EPL because his playing style is suited to the league. Iheanacho would score more goals in France or Turkey.

If Leicester keeps its current squad on the same wages in the Championship, and does not immediately get promoted back to the Premier League, the club will be bankrupt within a few years.

About 7 of their key players have their contract running out in July.
A whole bunch who could be sold to fetch more money has clauses for relegation in their contract which makes them cheaper.

The club management is clueless and their coach search will be shambolic as usual.

Leicester is gonna stay a while down there.
Playmaker Maddison - the club's crown jewel - and £60m-rated winger Harvey Barnes are expected to leave, but should fetch a fair price.

The 'parachute payments' that follow relegation will boost the coffers too, so they are set to bounce straight back up, right? Wrong.

If Leicester's search for Rodgers' replacement was farcical, the lack of a plan for their players makes for even worse reading.

Seven are out of contract in June, including internationals Youri Tielemans and Caglar Soyuncu, who would have commanded significant transfer fees if sold last summer.

Deals for a further eight players expire next year and, with cuts of up to 50% written into contracts should the club be relegated,
there is likely be a huge overhaul of the staff.

Leicester's wage bill stands at £180m - the highest outside the top six - with Maddison, Jamie Vardy and Ricardo Pereira among a number of players to earn in excess of £100,000 a week.

The club showed income of £214m in their accounts up to May 2022, but this will reduce to about £70m in the Championship.

The main issue they face is a loan agreed with Australian bank Macquarie for advanced payments on player amortisation and broadcasting revenue.

That is set against TV money so it is quite feasible the club will not see any of the 'parachute payments' as they will be allocated towards paying the quarterly interest on the loan, which stood at £19m last year.

Leicester's total borrowings stand at £344m, but much of that is related to the owners, who wrote off £194m earlier this season,
