I also think that Sven is a great pre-season manager...pretty crap during the season though!

How did you draw that conclusion?

Lets be honest, who knows how good he'll be at Leicester. At the moment he's playing Football Manager after having cheated to give his team 10 times the budget of all the rest and snapped up top targets. The fact that he paid £1.5M for Konchesky makes me doubt his capabilities.

He didn't exactly set the world on fire at Man city either.

Not to mention his stellar term at Notts.

On the subject of money, ignoring Sven for now, I was surprised to see we're a relatively cheap day out in the Championship

Some of our tickets are even cheaper than going to see Bradford (although those seats are probably behind a pillar or something)

its not an imminant introduction, nothing is concrete whatsoever dont buy into this.

its just to deflect lack of activity in the transfer market along with announcing increase stadium capacity.

Its seem this FFP rule only applies to those clubs in the NG2 region.

Leicester have apparently NOT recieved a memo for this, because there isnt one, YET.

And you know this better than the club chairman and CEO yak? The way they were talking it's going to be in place for the 2012/13 season so next year. They won't just send teams an email telling them by the way you've got to cut £30k off your wage bill in the next fortnight.

Who, other than Leicester, seem to be breaking the bank this summer?

i know has much as them seeing its not being implemented yet, and it may never be put into practice.

dont forget MA works for the FA who are not the most trusted organisation. no wonder he gets voted in every year, theyre a match made in heaven

MA prossibly knows what the FA are planning then wouldn't you say?

As I said, it won't just be implemented it's something clubs will need to prepare for or you may end up with a club having to cut their wage bill and wanting rid of a player like Konchesky on say £20k a week (possibly more). Nobody else wants to give him that, he won't leave for less so what do you do?

its all part of the master plan. We have obviously been getting ready for 'next season 2012/13' for the last two years, hence the reason we have hardly spent any money. We'll all be eating 'humble pie' because we didn't see the 'master plan' when ND and the A.P. did.
Why were given the 'false' impression then, that we had money to spend and would be acquiring some
'stella' signings, perhaps they meant we'd be getting Stella Artois'.
Only problem is, we'll probably be back in League 1 by the time the new rules actually take effect.
I for one would not back against Fester getting promoted this season, and much as I hate to say it, well done for backing your manager.
