With rumours out that everyone is for sale there, and no signings made would anyone think they could end up getting relegated ?
Unlikely. The last time they looked certain to go down they 'miraculously' became unstoppable and won the league the next season.

I'm sure if they get into too much trouble they will just pop to the pharmacy again.
 
I hate everything about Leicester. The bland, boring city. The inbred people. The hideous sports teams. All of them. Football, rugby and cricket. The epitome of a shit pointless chavvy English town. Curry is rubbish too. Just what is the fucking point of Leicester?

:wansum:
 
I think it all hangs on whether they keep Maddison or not. If they lose him, they will have real problems and even if they're not relegated they'll be in the dogfight. I think they'll be where Leeds were last season.

If they keep Maddison and have better luck with injuries, I'm thinking mid-table around 12th. Kasper Schmeichel will be a big loss and having two back-up keepers fighting it out for #1 usually doesn't pan out well.

Not a kasabian fan ?
 
Everton showed last season how easy it is to get sucked into that relegation dog fight. There have been plenty of clubs who’ve gone down when everyone thought they were too big or too good to.

Not saying it’s deffo gonna happen to Leicester but if they don’t sort themselves out this season will be a slog for them.

Fofana could be a bigger blow..... We've already seen how they struggle with a dent at CB.

Maddison was on fire last season, but they still had a poor season by their previous standards.

Vardy also a big factor, cos even if they're struggling creatively, he's proven he can be effective in a pure counter-attacking, smash and grab set up.

By the above token, Maddison is somewhat of a luxury that they CAN afford to lose... Especially if it means having 60m to spend on a couple of decent players to cover his role.
