Lloyd, more intrigued as to why you're angry about it and who you're angry with. Because you've been very vague so far.

If you don't want to elaborate then fair enough, but kindly take your passive-aggression elsewhere.

If you can't take off your blinkers and see that a team out-spending their rivals, not paying creditors then spending big seasons later is irritating then that's your problem. I've mentioned that this is the reason I dislike Leicester before. I feel the same way about Cardiff and others, don't want to get started on modern football, Champions League with 4 teams from a country (all of whom are massively in debt|), etc. It's really nothing personal, just irritates me.

Would you be saying the same if the shoe was on the oyher foot? We've spent £10mil so far, which is not even one good premier league player - I don't see people having a dig at Ipswich or Blackpool who have bought as many players as us! Had we not bought Mills, our spending would have ony been £5mil, which is hardly extravogant

DOWNSOUF yes mate yes yes yes how much for mate ?

'If you can't take off your blinkers and see that a team out-spending their rivals,'

Stop right there.

Firstly, our administration was not down to spending obscene amounts, it was down to the collapse of a large source of our income.

Secondly, we were banned from the transfer market and have been skint for years, wathcing rubbish football and getting relegated. What more do you want as a punishment?

But in any case, there is NOTHING likeable about your club so I hope you go into administration one day, and maybe spend a few more years in the third tier

BYE.

Get over it Lloydy!

I'd have an iota of respect for your opinion on the matter if I thought for one moment that you would boycott your club and burn your shirt in disgust if you should ever have the misfortune of seeing your club taken over by rich investors willing to buy players.

This is the third time (previously on bbc606 I believe), I have seen Lloyd come on to a Leicester thread and change the subject on to administration.

On one occassion, like Dungeon on this thread, I tried to at least understand his/her perspective through some basic questioning about the reasons for his/her annoyance; to no avail.

To go on to an opposing board and change the topic once is understandable, to change it three times to the same subject with such a critical view is at best self-indulgent and at worst spiteful.

At the time I suggested if s/he wanted to discuss this topic in more detail, they should create a new thread. It seems this will not be the case and unfortunately, as I don't particularly like suggesting this, I think it would be best to just simply ignore the comments.

Comments? What comments?

Your lucky you've only seen this on three occasions!!

The boy/girl is obsessed. Unfortunately when we respond it often prompts something rather lame along the lines of "that hit a nerve".

Tedious, but amusing.

Good grief...a taker.

Yes Sven, of course. Nowt to you. It looks like I will have to give a contact number (heaven forbid.)

Lloyd, you're just inventing reasons to hate the club.

Even if we did "out-spend our rivals" back then (which we didn't, we were just the unlucky ones at a time when everyone was spending big who bagged an awful manager and a board who thought he was the best thing since sliced bread), what has any of that got to do with the club now? Who or what at the club right now is still deserving of anger for what happened way back when?

And why am I arguing against a brick wall?

In Charles Dickens' fine novel "David Copperfield" one of the characters, whose name JA606 will not let me cite, is a gentle lunatic who has spent ten years trying to write a petition to the Lord Chancellor on the subject of some imagined dispute, the nature of which he cannot quite articulate save that it has something to do with King Charles’s head. Thus -

“ ‘Did he say anything to you about King Charles the First, child?’ ‘Yes, aunt.’ ‘Ah!’ said my aunt, rubbing her nose as if she were a little vexed. ‘That’s his allegorical way of expressing it. He connects his illness with great disturbance and agitation, naturally, and that’s the figure, or the simile, or whatever it’s called, which he chooses to use.’ ”

Leicester's period in Adminstration is Lloyd's King Charles's head. We can only pat him gently on the back, and then all move on.

That was very eloquently put Malling.

I'd prefer to just say, he's a t1t.

Thomas had had a very hard day. It seemed that everyone on Sodor had been travelling on the railway today and he was very tired.
Still, the evening had come and now he could relax and look at JARailways.com and talk with his friends EdwardTheBlue and BigGordon about how the Fat Controller had been managing the tracks recently.
But as he looked through the articles, he was shocked. Who was this "Lloyd_The_Pedant" and why was he so determined to rake up the past and talk about about when the island railway had gone into administration nearly a decade ago? Thomas was very sad indeed as he read through the posts, his day now completely ruined.

DrFox "I'd have an iota of respect for your opinion on the matter if I thought for one moment that you would boycott your club and burn your shirt in disgust if you should ever have the misfortune of seeing your club taken over by rich investors willing to buy players."

Firstly if you can manage to engage your brain it's not the rich investors I have a problem with, I don't mind clubs outspending us. It's the last time you outspent you rivals (and yes you did Dungeon Master, you outbid us to take Gareth Williams off our hands on a free to name but one time, shortly afterwards "ooh look, we've got no cash, here's 10% of what we owe you Mr Contractor", kept your players while others had to sell and suffer the consequences.

Keep the faith, if you'd care to show me where I've avoided a discussion feel free and I'll get back to you straight away. I think your "simply ignoring the comments" could be more due to the blue blinkers you wear.

Lastly, your talk of wasting money, lead to a throw away comment about why that shouldn't worry you. It's hardly a massive change in direction to this topic of discussion, especially when it was lead this way after all your bites.

Actually, Lloyd is right. I've seen the light. I've been converted.

We ARE a bunch of low life cheats who should all instantly lose our jobs, have our houses repossessed and be made to carry out 9 years worth of unpaid community work. We can only hope and pray that these actions can somehow be a penance for our heinous crimes against the rest of the footballing world, and humanity in general.

Thanks Lloyd.

Again, interesting use of the word "You". I didn't outbid anyone for Gareth Williams and neither did our current owners, our previous owner or Leicester City football club as an entity. (btw, outbid on a free? You can't have wanted him that much, and given his performances for us I can see why.) So why do you still have a problem with it?

As for keeping our players (and I assume you mean primarily Muzzy Izzet), yes we did. It was discussed with the administrator at the time and agreed that we would keep Izzet in particular because that would give the club the best chance of promotion (which we were already looking good for) and therefore bring capital into the club and provide more money for creditors. Guess what - it worked! but of course we had all but nothing to spend on players after that and we went down again the following season.

If you're still not satisfied, the creditors had a choice - accept some money or push us into receivership and get none. They accepted the first. The board, who were essentially in charge of the finances, effectively disappeared with our takeover. Of course, we were left crippled. So why has anything that's happened since been of any relevance to this whatsoever? Karma, you say? Well, maybe we can all leave that in the hands of the Buddha, whose teachings I'm sure you're very familiar with, given your propensity to point to them.

Finally, can you make up your mind whether you're trolling or debating? You can't have it both ways.

Have i missed something have we gone into administraion?

Doesn't the bloke from MOtD with a scar on his head that used to be in thunderbirds buy city?

Now really confused Dung .....Karma i know boy Georges dad lived in Leicester but whats happened to Thomas the tank engine.

Nev, that was bizzare, even for this thread.

Just so, strettea red, Mr Richard it is. I am less familiar with the work you cite, but shall order it on Amazon at once.

There we have Fox-14 and The Dungeon Master jumping up with all the self-righteousness of a true blue blinkered fan. I've mentioned a number of times that I have a problem with Leicester, now you can discuss or ignore what you like. Failing that you can divert attention by saying "wasn't me guv" which hardly adds to the conversation.

I'd love to explain how you outbid us on the free transfer, it's not difficult. We had a player, his contract was up, we offered him £x wages, you offered him £y. He accepted £y. I don't, in hindsight, have a problem with it, it was used to illustrate a point to whoever said you never outbid your rivals. I don't dislike Leicester because you signed Gareth Williams, not even I'm that petty.

"If you're still not satisfied, the creditors had a choice - accept some money or push us into receivership and get none. They accepted the first." Well, lucky them.

Trolling at the start, trying to debate now especially after being falsely accused of ignoring the debate in the past. I guess Keep the Faith is still looking for the example of where that happened. I expect his "got better things to do" post in an hour or so. Now, either I'm a pedant and a troll or debating, you can't have it both ways.

Lloyd boy, first you were midly amusing, then you became midly annoying, now you are rather tedious.

Try and take the hint chap - we don't actually care about your opinions and we are simply taking the p1ss.

There, I've said it. Now let's all get on with our lives.
