Bosses at Leicester City Football Club have finally begun putting together a plan for next season. This summer is, of course, vital for the East Midlands side. They must rejig their formerly vast squad and then add a few quality or promising components in replacement. And one course of action has already been taken which could save money and/or benefit the Foxes greatly, especially financially.
Although the measure is overdue as previously outlined, the Foxes hierarchy deserve (reluctantly) some credit for saving £10million. 11 LCFC players were released, or left by their own accord, last week. Not to mention multiplying reports of City seeking targets of their own. Is there something, or a few things, to be optimistic about at the moment on Filbert Way?
Although the measure was long overdue, the Leicester City board deserve a modicum of credit for saving the club £10million in wages
Danny Ward and Daniel Iversen have gone for good. I should have made that statement at least a year ago - if not longer. At one time, Leicester unnecessarily had five senior goalkeepers on their roster.
That was when some of us began noticing just how poorly and frivolously King Power business was being conducted. Nevertheless, Ward and Iversen's unnecessary respective wages are now eventually off the books.
We all know Jamie Vardy has now departed our team too. And, each in our own individual, the Blue Army has collectively mourned the former England man's exit. Naturally we wish Vardy luck - as long as he does the right thing by not signing for a Championship rival!
Regardless of that, Vardy was costing a huge amount to keep. He was said to be on £140,000-per-week at LCFC; I'm pretty sure his salary were previously higher.
While the stoppers earned approximately £40k and £20k separately every week. Saving City around £10.4million, suggest Football Insider.
