.. It'll cost £27m apparently (06/03/04)


According to the Sun (yes, them again), the £250,000 trip to La Manga is now going to cost City a staggering £27m.

How do they work that out, you ask?

Firstly because of a quote, yes you guessed it, by a "spokesman" from the club's shirt and stand sponsors Alliance & Leicester saying "“We understand that customers and the public are concerned by stories such as this.”.

So the tabloid has spun this to mean City are £2m down on sponsorship.

We'll ignore the fact that the A & L certainly haven't said they're pulling out or that LCFC have got a contract with them and probably have already got the money etc.

Then they say we'll lose £25m by being relegated, "leaving them with a huge financial black hole"

If they hadn't noticed we were already bleeding going down by the looks of it and the club have budgeted for it. The club are actually up on what they expected to be this season, financially.

We're sure the City players will of course pay all their own legal fees when this sorry affair is over.

FFS two top tips for supporting your team today:

1) If you have an Alliance & Leicester account, write and tell them to give their continued support to the rest of the team, club, staff and fans.

2) Buy Brum away tickets and pencil in next Satrurday as a day you'll scream yourself silly supporting those lads that do pull the Leicester shirt on.

Tell us what you think about this in our FFS Fans Forum.
