Pinebro Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Amazing that Saints and Leicester were such stable pl clubs for so long and all it takes is one relegation and they are completely screwed. Scary really. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary really. Wouldn't say Leicester were ever a stale PL club. They finished 5th,5th and 8th in the three seasons before the season they went down and won an FA Cup. They got a couple of transfer windows wrong and never recovered and are still paying the price for it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Very easy for Spurs, huge gulf in quality. Leicester will tire aswell by hour mark so surprised if this isn't 3-0. Good news is we're playing Leicester in less than two weeks. I know they're hampered by FFP still but they genuinely can't be planning to start Vardy every game? No hope of decent build up with him up there anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Probably one of the most dominant 1st halves ever to be 1-0. Leicester have got absolutely nothing to offer going forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFP is just the death for promoted clubs I think things needs to change because this can't be right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're newly promoted you need to be getting 5-6 wins against bottom half. Last season likes of Burnley and Sheffield United just lost every week at home. Luton only won 5 home games in the end.

The_Steve Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Leicester offer nothing. The gap between the Prem and Championship widens every year. It's not great for future of English football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why would 17 of the PL clubs vote for anything different? You'll have say 5-7 teams wanting FFP to protect them from the EFL clubs and you'll have the top 6 voting to protect themselves from the other 14 Can't see it changing any time soon.

villa89 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 The three promoted clubs probably won't get over 30 points. Not a good look for the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinebro Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Will Spurs be able to maintain this level of pressing fo the whole season especially considering europe? Think they might struggle later on Ange done a solid job with them. Little reminiscent of Bielsa tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinebro Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 (edited) Solanke has slotted in well Good signing Edited August 19 by Pinebro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Leceister have the stench of relegation about them already. They look like Shef Utd last season in which the squad actually gets weaker during the summer transfer window, plus they will get deducted points. Not sure why Cooper took the job on other than it's just down the road from Nottingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
