LEICESTER CITY are reportedly charging their own players £80 to sleep at their training ground.
Just ten years ago, the Foxes were beginning their maiden Champions League campaign.

They went on to reach the quarter-finals of Europe’s elite competition, the year after defying 5,000-1 odds to be crowned Premier League winners.
Now, underperforming overpaid players, financial mismanagement, inadequate leadership and outrage from supporters have conspired with devastating consequences.
Leicester have been relegated in three of the last four years, including back-to-back drops sending them spiralling from the Premier League to League One.
And in another humiliating blow, a report claims the club are now forcing their own squad members to pay in order to stay over at the training ground.

The Foxes spent £100million on their state-of-the-art Seagrave centre, complete with a golf course and on-site hotel.
But according to talkSPORT, Leicester players must stump up cash to make use of the bedrooms.
And it is at a nightly rate of £80.
The news comes 18 months after former Foxes boss Ruud van Nistelrooy axed Harry Winks when the midfielder refused to spend one night a week at the training ground despite living 100 miles away.
