Stadt

Arguably the best atmosphere I've been a part of was the Middlesbrough snow game. 8000 that really wanted to be there

The drum broke in SK1 against Middlesbrough and the atmosphere suffered after. Chants just don't take off in the same way

Seems almost surreal they now have one of the better selections in town

It’s good to have a fresh pair of eyes!

I hadn’t been in for probably 18 months, won’t be going back anytime soon.

Two pints of Guinness in the Globe, £13.80

Those renders swam around my head for years. It would have gotten the tall monkey off the city’s back, increased the ambient height (planning dept are very hung up on this) and proved Leicester as a pro-development city. Instead low rise developments are always revised down from moderate 12-15 storey schemes to ~10. All the while they keep pushing their housing target allocation out into the county.

Sticking two storey townhouses on the most central and underdeveloped bit of waterside will be a millennia spanning mistake. I’ve spoken to a developer that was keen on building genuinely tall (20+ storey) apartment buildings in the city but the planning dept just aren’t interested. They think 9 storeys is tall!

Three Nuns - nicely decorated but had a few slightly off pints there in the past. The White Hart is great but it’s always so LOUD in there

Organ Grinder, White Hart are good The rest middling to crap imo.

He's getting worse day by day as lumbering CBs tend to decline starkly and he's already peaked, playing him is a completely short termist - it's not even a good trade off. We have to play Nelson and trust him, a new deal is imperative. It's also worth sticking with Okoli given he's got a long(er) contract and more saleable. I like Souttar but we'll have to see how he recovers and I'm not sure how balanced a Nelson/Souttar pairing is. We have to shift Faes in January or the summer.

The shot quality is the problem because the coaching is so poor

The general goals per game has been trending upwards for a while so it's probably a bit of a due correction. It makes sense to optimise for set pieces though as you can potentially add 10 net goals a season if you do it well. Most teams struggle to do that with 4 or 5 very good signings.

Overpriced for small plates, not even filling like they should be in that aggregate sort of way. Sonrisa is far better.

People just love complaining. The Nations League was written off as crap, commercialisation, blah blah but it’s a good way of adding a bit of jeopardy to otherwise dour friendlies. England are a bit boring by the nature of always qualifying as a top nation but there are so many brilliant storylines if you just look for them. Nobody is forcing the moaners to engage with it

“But but but Man City” Don’t give a shit about them, most of those charges are from 10 years ago when the rules have changed so much since. We just missed out on the £80m allowable loss threshold by a mere £120,000,000. We deserve to have the book thrown at us.

I looked into it some more and it’s almost entirely fake, they need to really strip it back to basics but I think it’s done now.

Your mileage may vary but firms rather than one man bands have more of a reputation to uphold - i.e they have reviews and a social media presence so can’t get away with fobbing you off. Theres plenty of good sole traders out there but it’s far easy to hide as a shit one.

We halfway housed a hell of a lot. Got in a shit manager because nobody else would have wanted it (points deduction PSR blah blah blah) because we’d have no money to spend… then spunked c. £60m on dross. We should have spent nothing or shit loads.

Who is better?

Top is too stupid/myopic to appoint the necessary football visionary and Rudkin is too stupid (or self-preserving) to do it. The ‘interim’ MD is a sign on things to come. A terrible fit that literally no other club would do.

Loans manager role is completely peripheral tbh

I like Huth and would be happy with appointment because he'd pull no punched but I'd rather somebody with a demonstrable track record. We appointed Glover through a recruitment agency IIRC, so it won't be a focussed head hunt anyway.

Pearson, Huth, Morgan etc etc. We're in this mess partially because we just promote from within too often. Rudkin - academy coach > academy manager > academy director > director of football and we're supposed to believe we did a thorough job recruiting for each of those positions and he happened to be the best every time? Current FD was promoted from within. The U21 managers tend to be bumped up a level. Hire a domain authority expert please!

The football media aren't bothered either. Must know won't to rattle any cages at Leicester at all - has to be th only way Anthony earns his corn because he doesn't do any communicating with the fanbase. This should be a pretty big story!
