Brendan Rodgers, the current manager of Leicester city has purchased multiple new players during this season and they are expecting a yearly loss of £119.5 million. This season thus far, they have lost the cash in comparison to other teams in the Premier League.
Only Manchester United’s losses are close to Leicester, but then again on the field, they have scored and won a couple of games lately, but the defeat to Brighton by 5-2 is a devastating one. Last season, Manchester United spent a lot on Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Rapahel Varane.
Thus far only one outfield player was purchased by Leicester City this year, Wout Faes and their crucial defender, Wesley Fofana was sold to Chelsea right before the transfer period closed for $69.5 million.
Now, with the recent political and economical situation that Europe is undergoing, especially England, most of the population is struggling to pay their own bills. These large amounts of money being spent may appear to the general public as the football clubs are being out of touch from reality.
The next most important segment for Rodgers to look at is the winnings of Leicester City. His main goal is for the team to win as many medals as possible and to disrupt the current hierarchy where the bigger and more well known teams are constantly staying on top.
Leicester’s manager admits that the team’s current aim is to get 40 points this season. He told the media, “I always know there is a spin on words. I have a huge respect for the board. There is no way that I ever had a notion to expose them. They have been honest enough to say how it is. Top’s notes have made it clear in terms of the thinking behind the why of the situation.
“It has clearly been a really difficult market for us. But the bigger picture was the club. For me, it is a non-story from today. Now, it is about everyone coming together. We bring on the fight and have this collective common goal of winning games and being a team.”
As the battle goes stronger with each game, Rodgers and his team would have to improve their performances. Thus far under the leadership of Rodgers, Leicester has not lost three games consecutively which shows improvement regardless of the team still being at the bottom.
