I find the moment of the announcement rather peculiar. Why not wait until the season is over? I mean – can we expect the team to play as one for the remaining five PL matches now, in honour of Vardy? Or will the slump, the indifference continue?

Criminally neglected on the pitch this season and let down by the club. I'm sure the car crash that this club is right now, the bad results, the lack of appreciation from teammates and the club management, the mishandling from Top to bottom has led to this. Vardy wouldn't be leaving if the club were better run, and the team not relegated or involved in a relegation dogfight. I'm convinced he'd have had another two, three seasons with us. Good luck elsewhere and thank you very much for the memories, Vards! (And please bang in a few more goals before the end of the season, thank you)

The only thing I remember him for is that accidental rushing forward on the left flank in a home game. Can't remember which one that was.

Getting results in the Championship is what we need. Confidence in this team is shot right now. The sooner we get back to winning ways, the better. I can't see us picking up many more points in the remaining five PL games this season. A more successful and convincing pre-season would help, too. Remember the summer of 2024?

Who was that particular Chalton fan that came on here quite regularly? I remember us massively poking fun at him. I suppose he has something to look forward to this season. Potentially automatic promotion to the Championship.

Walsall are imploding spectacularly. They were once – what? – 16 points or so ahead of 2nd place.

Birmingham are coming up from League One with one of the best records ever (maybe even the best ever), and then it's a pick from Wrexham Wycombe Charlton Athletic Stockport County fighting for the second and thus last automatic promotion spot. Plus: Leyton Orient Reading FC

All the amount of times we've tried to counter or initiate a swift attack during matches. The fact that our Social Media team can't read the room. The LCFC Online shop being down for five weeks and counting. During a season, mind.

There'll be plenty of applications. Don't underestimate a "decent manager" his crave for a challenge. The Championship is a highly competitive and very attractive league. Smart *decent" managers will see the potential in our younger players and the pros within this squad and work from there.

Fischer. Simply for the Swiss element. Been missing for too long since the Berner days (Inler was unfortunately just a blip in the grand scheme of things). But in all honesty, man can manage. What he did at Union was nothing short of amazing. We need that kind of (fighting) spirit.

One more thing to look forward to next season. No worries about yet another clanger from our top Welsh goalkeeper!

There's potential and hope for next season. On the whole, we have a competitive squad at hand. However – first of all, I'd get rid of all the players that did not want to be here in the first place and showed a distinct lack of effort (or talent). Also, most older players can go. Goalkeepers: Can we finally find a buyer for Ward? Defenders: Sell Faes, Vestergaard and potentially Coady. Convert Kristiansen into a centre-back. Give Okoli a starting role, think about converting Justin into a winger and give Coulibaly the chance to shine, and Luke Thomas, too. Ben Nelson could be back for a full season. Are we counting on Harry Souttar? I think in terms of CB, we'll be a bit spoiled for choices. Midfielders: Sell Soumaré. Play Skipp and see if his price tag is justified. Winks (if he stays) could redeem himself. Ricardo Pereira has flourished in midfield, I must say. El Khannouss looks promising, and maybe we can get a deal for Buonanotte, I like him as a player. If not, find a more experienced attacking midfielder. Wingers: Apart from a few instances. Cordova-Reid and Ayew have been very underwhelming. Simply never fitted in here, they just trotted along and appear to be in for one final paycheck. Sell. Mavidi can be selfish at times, but he's talented and a threat going forward. With McAteer and a recovering Fatawu and another talented young(er) left-winger, I think we'd be spoiled for choices. Strikers: Keep Vardy. Don't know what to make of Daka. What was the point of signing Edouard and selling Cannon? Still need two more strikers. Anyone in the academy good enough to fit the fourth slot? Also: If we do – can we please sign players that aren't past their prime? In general, improving our defense should be priority number one. Our back four should be feared, not the butt of a joke! We ought to be very tough to break down and work from there. Just look at what Burnley are achieving in the Championship this season, incredibly low goals-against average! We need more presence and punch in midfield. And leaders to carry attacks forward. We^ve been way too lightweight in the PL so far this season and been brushed aside too easily. There's been a distinct lack of cohesion and attacking intent. And we're in dire need of a manager who prioritizes discipline and teamwork above anything else.

The fight and defensive cohesion against Liverpool yesterday was commendable, but ultimately futile. We lost our place in this league a long time ago. If you ship more than two goals per game on average, you deserve to go down. We could've had the chance to build from a solid back four, making it difficult for the opposition to break us down. But then again, we've been treated to: James Justin, who is more of a wingback or winger than a right-back – found out numerous times on this level, his tracking back and positioning is questionable to frustrating Wout "Bombscare/Braindead" Faes, who sees himself as a David Luiz incarnate, minus the talent or the flair. All over the place in most matches. Conor Coady, who is a solid Championship player, but out of place in the PL. Viktor Kristiansen, who simply isn't a left-back, more a left centre-back, as he lacks the pace as well as the agility on the flank. What works in a (slower) Serie A doesn't automatically work in the Premier League. Yannick Vestergaard, who is approaching 33 and not PL material (anymore).

Can we address the elephant in the room here? Our central midfield has been crap to non-existent this season, especially going forward, apart from a few glimpses of genius or creativity coming from Buonanotte or El Khannouss here and there. I've said it elsewhere, it's criminal how Vardy has been left up to his own up front. No service from midfield whatsoever. The others have mostly been playing around him, instead of with him.

No goals scored at home in NINE games. Pathetic excuse for a team – and for a club. Amateurs.

Should be going back to Manchester United.

Still down in this part of the world (the Continent).

Seven minutes to win this.

I was so looking forward to that.

Last time we've kept a clean sheet was in early October... Over half a year ago.

Down for at least five weeks now. During a season.

Brainead giving the ball away after that Ndidi shot. Who was it? EDIT: Bobby.

You sure you don't mean the motorway, Clinton?

And yet he's been given a starting spot. Blame the manager.
