Brendan Rodgers has revisited the financial backing issues he faced at Celtic by issuing a strong claim on Leicester City's ability to do transfer business.
The Northern Irishman has lamented the difference between his side and Saudi-backed Newcastle United as the two Premier League sides are set for battle in the League Cup. He is hopeful of new recruits this month after Wout Faes was the only outfield signing last year, with the Foxes being bolstered by the huge £70million departure of star man Wesley Fofana to Chelsea.
But the former Celtic boss, who faced his own issues in Glasgow over financial stimulus, admits he simply cannot wave a magic wand to compete with the likes of the Toon over big spending. "I think I'm a decent coach, but I'm not a magician," said the Foxes boss.
