Leicester apologise after ending early Christmas payday tradition

Leicester City
December 2025

Leicester City have apologised to staff after confirming that December wages will be paid on the normal month end date rather than before Christmas, ending a long standing festive gesture. The abrupt change angered employees who had planned holiday spending around the earlier payday. An internal email informed staff that salaries would arrive on 31 December despite previous years of early payment to ease festive costs. Following complaints, club leaders accepted the communication was mishandled and stressed the shift was procedural, not a sign of deeper financial trouble or missed payroll.

December 2025

Louis Saha has defended Bruno Fernandes by arguing that criticism of the Manchester United captain often ignores his productivity and leadership. He says Fernandes is targeted precisely because he is the team’s creative hub, currently leading the Premier League in assists while also scoring regularly. Saha highlights that Fernandes shoulders responsibility in an inconsistent side and remains central to Ruben Amorim’s improved run of results. He insists the midfielder’s demanding body language is misunderstood, seeing it as a reflection of standards and competitive drive rather than toxic behaviour.
