Foxes Expect To Lose Players
By Aston May 8 2008
Leicester City have hinted they expect to lose some players during the summer following their relegation to League One for next season.
Town have already been re-linked with Leicester defender Gareth McAuley, with a bid of around £600,000 expected to be made in the comings weeks for him after Town's bids in January were rejected.

Leicester chief executive Paul Aldridge: "It will be a process over the summer because the players have contracts. What the club might like to do is not always what happens.

"Clearly we have good players who are desirable. Until we sit and talk to the players and their agents, I don't know what their desire is. If a player really has his heart set on going then it's difficult, but that's not to say we have had that.

"We are a football club and we have never been in this division. That's the biggest blow and throwing a cheque at that won't make it go away.

"It's a financial blow, no doubt about it, but it's not the catastrophic one of falling out of the Premier League. It's a big blow but we do have incomes and we do have a reduction in our costs.

"From a sporting perspective, for our dream and goal to get back into the Premier League, it's a big dent in it. It's more of a sporting blow than a financial one.

"The majority of players have got a contract where all basics and bonuses are reduced in the lower division. The overall amount for the same number of players will be less in this division than the Championship."

Re: Foxes Expect To Lose Players
Not being funny here but, why were Leicester relegated?? because their defenders let too many goals in!!! So why is Jim looking at defenders who can't cut it at this level??? Is this fella(mcaully) Irish by any chance??(Sm105)

Sorry Leggi but, Leicester had the 2nd best Defence in the league, It was scoring that was the problem.
