Leicester City manager Micky Adams spoke for our man in Finland, Timo, after the first game of the pre-season trip to Finland.

And he revealed that he has been extremely shocked by the financial difficulties facing the club.

"To be honest, when I signed for Leicester City I didn`t have a clue I would have to face something like this. On the other hand, nobody could see this coming. We have players earning Premiership wages on our books, but we are playing Nationwide football." said Adams.

"We just have to face the facts now. Even if I hate to say it, every single player can leave the club now, if the offer satisfies us. And that really means everybody, from Matthew Piper to Dennis Wise.

"I have spoken with the players about the financial situation. Everybody is perfectly aware of the situation, but I would be disappointed if they would pay too much attention to it and could´not concentrate on their job. The situation is pretty clear: the players play, the coaches coach and somebody else makes the financial decisions", Micky added.

"Yes, I would have like to sign a couple of players. I have got a few ideas and in the perfect world I would like to have a couple of new faces in before the season kicks off. But the squad is strong enough at the moment and the players are working hard, so I am looking forward to the season.

"There is no point in declaring any timetable in our promotion bid now. OK, we have a good chance of going up next season if everything goes fine from now on. But I think every other team in Division One has as good a chance"

Despite all the financial pressures Adams and the whole squad looked pretty relaxed. After Thursday mornings training session the squad chose to walk from the Väinölänniemi Stadium to their city centre hotel in Kuopio.
