  1. This. I don't like to bash our own players, but come on now. This squad, that often gets called a Premier League one, is filled with players that failed up there, not to mention that it was also stripped of our best players in Maddison, Tielemans and Barnes. This is not a Premier League quality squad, and had no right to win the Championship just with the names on the team sheet alone. Even our stand out performers this season, were not performing well in the Premier League just last year. Vardy, 3 goals last season. Winks, loaned out to Sampdoria who got relegated with him. KDH, underperformed and relegated. Ndidi, no form for over 2 years and a shadow of himself. Vestergaard...? A running joke last season! Daka? Faes? The list goes on! Can we please stop buying into this narrative that we have this Premier League quality squad that deserves no respect for winning the Championship in the way we have. It has been a very impressive season and we really ought to enjoy it as a big success! Not downplay it because we were a Premier League team (failing one) last season. P.s Apologies to all the players I bad mouthed. I fully believe you will do great in the Premier League next season... (with additions!)
  2. He's not wrong. Most fans can see that and have for some time. Should it be pushed out into the media though? Nope. Hopefully, Enzo will keep it in house from now on.
  3. Honestly Leeds and Southampton are pretty much on par with our squads and could argue even have better players in some positions. We can debate Enzo's style of play and entertainment value, but to say Enzo proved and achieved nothing by making us Champions, is just ridiculous.
  4. All hypothetical. I just think Enzo is entitled to feel a bit aggrieved at being kept in the dark on quite a pretty huge thing that impacts the club he chose to Manage. I suspect he will stay anyway, after some guarantees of more honesty and transparency from now on. Rudkin leaving would be a bonus. I do not trust that Rudkin will not make the same mistakes again. Fresh blood please! The squad seem to love playing for Enzo, so I am not sure replacing him with Mark Robins over the Summer would go down that well
  5. I can see Liverpool going on a period of decline now. Not just because of Klopp going, he is actually smart to get out now, as a decline is well due. Just hope Man City get dumped out the league as well, then it may get interesting again.
  6. Rodgers talked about restrictions on spending. He never talked about breaking FFP rules, point deductions and transfer embargos. I think Enzo is fully entitled to be unhappy that the club did not make him aware of the issues the club would be facing. The club knew this was coming. I suspect they knowingly hid these things from Enzo, and that has become quite clear to him as things have developed over the last few months. Top needs to make some changes below him and this is just another great reason why he should do that now. A fresh start as we go back to the Premier League.
  7. It's the question that keeps me up most nights.
  8. any half decent illegal stream you can find!
  9. Guess it depends on his wages. Is he good enough to start in the Premier League? No. Would he be useful in Cup games and do a job? I think so. He would need to make a big step forward in development to be a genuine starter for Leicester in the future. You can't really write off a 22 year old, especially as he is home grown and clearly loves the club with that added motivation. I'd assess him over pre-season and see what business we do and either keep him in the squad OR loan him to a Championship club. Next season should be make or break for him in regards his Leicester future, no matter where he is. Needs a big season.
  10. Well, damn and bugger
  11. Albrighton to start so he can get a huge standing ovation when subbed is the dream!
  12. Think it was a nervous reaction to throwing our huge advantage away. A lot of our best performing players also took a lot of heat. I think Enzo will need to start next season strongly, as it will only take 3-4 losses early on, for the Enzo Out posts again. I think as others have said though, we shouldn't equate valid criticism to the more over the top posters. I personally think that there were a couple of red flags this season with Enzo, that may or may not rear their head again next season. Overall though, he has done an incredible job so far and deserves a good 15-20 games next season to show us what he's got in the Prem.
  13. Blackburn need a point, so I expect them to set up very defensively. If they have a go, we could demolish them. I suspect this may be a draw but that 100 point incentive is definitely there, as Vardy mentioned it last night. I actually think Brum will win their game and who drops on the final day could be a twist. Blackburn will definitely put more effort in than Preston did last night.
  14. It's not unique to us, if you listen to other fans up and down the country about their Owners, Managers and Players etc, they all moan and are incredibly fickle too. It is just the way it is, and always has been, and always will be. We are on an absolute high now, but I can guarantee that after a few losses in a row in the Premier League, the attacks on him and the players will be back and as over the top as ever. The amount of times we have had fans calling us bottlers over the last 10 years is laughable. Look at how many times we haven't bottled it! You just hope that those who go too hard and too fast (very quiet on here today...) tone it down and accept that we will struggle at times but toxicity won't help.
  15. You just don't get these moments or chance to bond on such a high, when you finish 10th-15th in the Premier League season after season. Not that I want to be relegated again, but nights like yesterday will live long in the memory.
  16. If Enzo is told that we will likely be getting an 8-10 point deduction, and we must sell a handful of our better players, as well as have limits on what we spend - Would he stay if Sevilla or similar came knocking? Doubtful. I think he saw how toxic it can become when he starts losing games. He clearly already has some doubts on next season, which comes across in his latest remarks. I think a big pull for him to stay though, is the relationship he has with the players. It really is a fantastic job and set-up at Leicester. I suspect Top will need to present him with a positive picture for next season and hopefully, the points deduction will be 4-6 points and we will still be able to spend, without having to sell our better players. A lot is still up in the air, so I expect it will be a while yet before we know his intention.
  17. Imagine how deflating it would be to fans and the squad if we let him go after this season. I have had my doubts over the last couple of years, but he is still performing and in these last few games, has looked razor sharp again. Give him 1 more crack at the Premier League! A one year extension on a reduced but not insulting wage, is perfect!
  18. I think we should look at a few championship players once we know who is staying down. I have been impressed with a handful down here. I don't want us going back to signing expensive flops from abroad. I'd like to see us bring in some players with a nasty side, as we can be a bit soft at times. Premier League will require some more leaders in the squad.
  19. Prefer to see him bag 20 for Leicester next season.
  20. Better than them all.
  21. I was thinking this last night. I even loved our season in league 1 and that feeling of winning the league. You just don't get these highs if you sit mid to lower table in a league for most years. It's a rollercoaster with some really low days, but nights like yesterday are just incredible.
  22. Ipswich to get it done over these next 2 games. WBA to win the play-off final. That is the dream scenario for me. Would have gone Norwich but Delia is annoying.
  23. Could be a factor weighing on his mind. He must feel a bit wronged by doing so well for us, but still taking so much heat for what now looks like a pretty minor wobble, with 100 points looking likely. I criticised him too though, and unfortunately, it is the same at most clubs. Just yesterday I was listening to a Spurs fan wanting Postecoglou sacked. I get the feeling that Enzo takes a lot to heart, and he will need to build some thick skin if he wants to be a top Manager for many years. I think he should stay and get his shot at the Premier League. A lot of the issues he had this season, could be mitigated by having a better quality squad of players. He needs to grow as a Manager as well though, and must be prepared to change things if they are not working. I suspect his slightly guarded responses tonight about Managing us next season, are down to two things - lack of honesty this season from the club about finances and how the Sensi deal was handled, and secondly, what budget will be available next season and how will sanctions/deductions likely impact his recruitment. He could take a job at an Italian or Spanish club this Summer and leave Leicester as a big success and with an exciting reputation, and avoid a potential relegation and sacking if our budget and points deduction, makes it so much harder to win games next season. I'd understand that to an extent. Hopefully, we will be able to spend and sign players and the deduction will be on the lower side. I'd like him to stay and take this positive end of the season into the summer and beyond. The players clearly love him and that alone can be a huge boost for a new season.
