-Today, sale of club shares on the stock market was suspended.

-By this weekend, Leicester City could go under administration.

Default Will administration be avoided?

-Leicester City released a statement to the stock market today which said that they are currently in discussions with their creditors (the American firm that gave them the loan for the stadium) to reach an agreement on a plan to pay off their debt. Leicester City will also meet with the PFA to discuss cost-cutting options. Leicester City will then try to raise revenue from its shareholders. The club claims that all of these actions are necessary to avoid going into administration, and if positive agreements are reached, the club will avoid administration. We'll just have to wait and see...
