He’s only just turned 20, so it’s expected.

He’s created 30 “big chances”, which is the most from any player since they started to record these stats in 15/16. If we could actually finish, we’d have walked this league weeks ago.

Is Leicester promoted now?

Not yet. As it stands they need one win from their last two games. If Ipswich lose to Hull on Saturday, all Leicester need is one point from those two games. If Ipswich draw against Hull, two points is enough for Leicester.

If Leeds lose at the weekend we are promoted too
 
If 3 clubs manage 90 points they should just skip the playoffs. Possible that a team gets promoted whilst being 20 points behind a club that didn't. That just doesn't make sense.

In Italy’s Serie B they have a threshold, it used to be 10 points, now 15 points margin the third needs to avoid playoff and get direct promotion.

“The top two teams are automatically promoted and the third place team is only automatically promoted if they are more than 14 points clear of the fourth placed team.

If the third place team is not more than 14 points clear of the fourth place team then the teams from third place to eighth place enter a play-off to decide the final promotion spot.”

Yeah, Daka being the main culprit. Think it was the Bristol City game that really shocked me how profligate you guys were for all your good play. Watching you against Bournemouth though, I can't imagine you'll have a problem staying up if you invest well.

Will they have any money to invest with the ongoing FFP issues? Is there any chance of a transfer ban? I heard during the game a lot of players are out of contract too pending I think the commentators said the resolution of the FFP issues, could have been promotion.

From what my my mate says, FFP shouldn't be an issue if they get promoted. It would be disastrous if they didn't. They still have some legacy contracts they will need to shift: Vardy, Ricardo, Nacho, Praet, Ndidi. They could probably also do well by shifting Daka, Vestergaard, Albrighton and Winks, but that might be a bit too many out the door.

The accounts are pretty grim reading, but getting rid of the big contracts and sales could help.
 
Vardy, Iheanacho, Praet, Vestergaard, Albrighton and Ndidi are all out of contract, I would only offer Vardy and Ndidi contracts, the issue with contracts are the likes of Danny Ward who will apparently be on £75k a week should we get promoted

Too bad Hull beat Coventry. They still have a lot to play for tomorrow. A win for Ipswich would put them in such a strong position.
 
Big 35 minutes this for QPR! Feel they may need one more goal to get something from this game, still.
 
There’s the third goal for QPR! Leicester are coming back to the Premier League!
 
Crazy league. If Southampton beat Leeds on the final day, Ipswich would only need 2 draws in their remaining 3 games to be promoted.
 
Hope next year Kieran McKenna will do very well in PL. One for the future as Man Utd manager. He is performing miracle at Ipswich.
