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.
