Yes, no lover of Leicester but what the hell is the point for them, you have to bridge the gulf in class, do so on a smaller budget than the rest of the league and if thats not tough enough get a 3 point minimum deduction. Ridiculous state of affairs.
Hoping Ipswich go up too but they will have the same loaded dice and doubt they could compete financially regardless. Very hard to like this league now as much as I want to remain in it.

The article from percy after promotion is so depressing. I'm not sure they will be able to enjoy it.

Get out of here. Read the article before making claims as ridiculous as that. They are in a mess. We've had our punishment and can still stay up without half of our squad disappearing, they are a championship side getting promoted and about to start on minus 6 without half of the squad they came up with, selling there better players and will then try to stay up with pretty much no money to spend.
Reminds me of Sheffield United this year. Imagine you if we had a season of being Sheffield United.

To be honest makes me more worried about what would happen to us if we were to go out this year. We need to stay in this league even if it is corrupt and pretty boring football wise.

I honestly dont think we'd get promoted back straight away. We got up last time beacuse of Cooper's near miracle. The club, imo, isn't geared up for sucess.

That’s over the top don’t you think. Leicester are guaranteed premier league football next season and we are not. It’s either us or Luton most likely to survive. Everybody else is safe. The last time we we went down it took us 23 years to get back. I am 60 years of age. If it takes us as long to get back I would be 83 and probably dead. In which case the Chelsea would be my last chance to see us in the premier league. So yes I would swap with Leicester right now.

On the other hand Leicester might get relegated next season and if we go down this year we might come straight back up again.
So don't worry you will only be 61.

Are you trying to say you would swap the position only. The fact they have premiership guaranteed?
Cos yes I think everyone would like to have guaranteed premiership next year, but I don't think we would swap there predicament they go into the premier in or their squad.

As we can't say if we'll go back up straight away or not because the league is mental, I think the question is will we crumble or be able to push.
I tend to agree with the above comment though regarding today's results.
People at the club will be planning for both but we have to be focusing on now.
