But he's been so godawful even that price should be enough to put people off. Along with whatever ludicrous wage he asks for.

There seems to be a lot of people assuming that this massive abortion of a defender will be off in the summer but I just don't see where this optimism comes from. We couldn't shift him last time and his stock will have fallen even lower since then. I fear we're stuck with him.

Season Ticket Renewal Deadline Shut
Gubbins replied to The Year Of The Fox's topic in Leicester City Forum
I f***ing hate football nowadays, the obscene money, cheating, big club media obsession, slow possesion football which has become the dominant style, the calculated destruction of atmosphere at grounds and various other stuff mentioned in this and other threads. Its killed any love i had for the game I never watch any other team on sky anymore and next to none of the last 2 international tournaments. This has further been compounded by City's complete collapse in standards and crap treatment of fans over the past 4 years. I should have stopped going a few years back when i moved out of Leicester really but kept going out of habit as going to games with my dad is something we've done since Brian Littles time. I basically left the decision up to him and he made his mind up walking back to the car at half time on Monday night. I'm sure wel still go to games now and then as Leicester remain our club and always will be but it's a relief to remove the obligation to go. Definitely intend to check out some non league football see if I can get any love for the game back away from all the monied sanitised crap. -
Me and dad had been debating it, neither of us like being forced to go digital, i cant make every game so the 10 swap limit will mean hed have to go on his own a few times, we both increasingly hate the way football as a sport has gone and obviously its been bloody awful last 3 seasons (both thought maresca ball shite and joyless). Counter to that we are both match going fans of 50 and 30 years respectively and its not easy to just give it up. Last night pushed my dad over the edge. Left at half time and neither of us are going to renew. I daresay wel still go occasionally and we've not always been st holders but at the prices they are charging nowadays think it's more likely wel go to watch market harbourough harriers.

Ruud van Nistelrooy - New Manager - Official
Gubbins replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
He is to management what Danny Ward is to goalkeeping.. At this point he probably replaces Peter Taylor as our worst ever manager and I genuinely didn't think that was possible. -
The Ayoade/Mortimer face off in episode 5 of LoL was pure comedy gold. A simple but superb show overall. Hopefully they do a second series although would be hard to beat the line up they had here.
-
It really isn't. It's from people who actually want to enjoy watching football and who unlike some of the hipsters on here aren't enamoured with marescas dull coma inducing shite.
-
Watched the first three eps of last one laughing last night. I thought it was hilarious, the faces they were pulling to try and not laugh had me howling. Will def check out some of the other series
-
Hopefully Maresca gets the boot soon and ends up at some fairly high profile club in a B tier league. It's perhaps the only way someone might buy vestergaard off us.

Butterfly effect is exactly what we're doing. Cooper doesn't play the same tactics or pick the same players so things will be different. Maybe having seen wards uselessness against newcastle and with stolarcyzclk off the treatment table he risks throwing him in against wolves. Wel never know. Now no doubt we still lose the majority of games but I'm not having that we would be as record breakingly bad under cooper as we have been under Van Rooney. He had enough about him to not be statistically one of the worst 10 prem manager ever which is all it needed to be level with wolves. -

You absolutely can't guarantee it. Cooper was crap but he is still an actual football manager whilst rvn at this point is more akin to a disgraced PE teacher, statistically the 3rd worst manager in PL history. Now obviously you despise Cooper and have slagged him off all season but is it really beyond the realms of possibility that he would have by hook or by crook gained 4-6 points more than rvn has? Still pretty diabolical but seeing as wolves and Ipswich are so bad we would still be in with a shot of staying up. You can't say that now. -
I actually think wel get something out of this just in sheer probability terms. The combined odds of losing 6 in a row and losing 4 times in one season to the same (crap) side must be huge. Having said that it would require us to either score or keep a clean sheet...

I don't think they were. Neither side was particularly good. If we'd played an actual goalkeeper it would most likely have been a draw.

Something something patterns of play, Something something philosophy, Something something 'identity' Something something playing better All b**locks, if he lasts the season statistically he will almost certainly be our worst ever manager. It won't matter a jot but he deserves to be sacked now. Dealt a bad hand yes but he's undeniably a far far worse manager than even Cooper who although he may well have taken us down wouldn't have done so in such a spectacular fashion. It's an overused phrase and people use it on here all the time after 2 or 3 defeats in a row but for the first time I think it's valid, I don't see where the next win comes from. Genuinely don't see us breaching the 20 point barrier at this stage. -
Yeah if it was going to outlive the Trump name I don't think de santis would have flopped so hard in the presidential nomination. He certainly won't put much effort into supporting Vance for the next election. There's nothing in it for him and he wont care what happens next. Tbh I think with no election to fight he will spend the majority of the latter half of his term playing Golf.

The sheer awfulness of the Championship means we probably will have one of the strongest squads and 'challenge', for the play offs at least, almost by default. But it will still be a squad that will be demoralised from a season of constant defeats in most of which we will not have laid a finger on the opponents and full of players that we can't shift and probably don't care or bizarrely think they're above the championship. Burnley and Sheff U also have proper, champ experienced managers as opposed to the clueless rookie we have. That's without even mentioning the league coming after us for psr nonsense. It's hardly beyond the realms of possibility that we finish outside the top 6. -

By the end of the season rvn will be down their statistically with our worst ever managers and his structure and philosophy that some wax on about just looks to me like a poorly executed possesion based 4231. We can't go into a new season with the same demoralised team and manager who probably wont even acquire 25 points. And your banking on him being some sort of master talent spotter cos if he's not you're largely relying on serial failures glover and rudkin for new players, assuming we can sign anyone full stop. We need as fresh a start as possible next season and I see no advantage in keeping a guy who at best will have got 3 or 4 mostly fortunate wins in around 2 thirds of a season. Also he picked Ward against wolves despite already having seen 45 minutes of the hopeless twat against Newcastle. Pretty much a sackable event on its own! -

Not got the time to list them all but il do the first 5 if you like. £1 £2 £3 £4 £5 -
Why? What has he actually done that will make other teams desperate to get him? Lots of goals? No. Assists? No. Regularly the best player on the pitch? No. Hell he's not even consistently the best player in our team. And our team is garbage!

Surely it's Glovers signings that are to blame. I'm not having that Cooper specifically demanded all of Reid ayew and skipp. Glover gets off far lighter than he should. The only player recruited since he's been here who wel make a profit on is hermansen. He's yet another one who needs booting out. -

It's been such disastrous form though I don't think you can keep him for next season. It's akin to Derby keeping Jewell when they went down and they started the next season in exactly the same way and he was eventually sacked. It's also likely wel be stuck with the vast majority of crap players that RvN has been failing to get any tune out of. We have got to ditch him at the end of the season and get a proper manager in. -
Nowhere near as certain as most of you that el khanouss gets sold. He's hardly set the league aflame with his performances and in fact I'd say the main reason he looks decent for us is because the rest of the team is so bloody atrocious. We'd certainly not get the 30+m that some suggest.
