I'm going to be really pissed off if Mckenna goes to Brighton and Potter goes to another club, then Enzo/We decide weeks after that we need to part ways and we start talking about which firefighter is going to get us out of this points deduction relegation scrap. It would be typical Leicester City to let Potter and Mckenna go and we end up with Big Sam. (Though I don't think Potter would come here as I expect he will be wanted by bigger clubs) If Enzo is going, GO NOW, if he's 100% committed, he needs to tell the board his demands or GO. We really can't afford to have the club held to ransom by b-rate journalists who are in with the boss. The club need to be flexible or ruthless, one of the two.

I wonder if Arne Slot would fancy loaning out Jarrel Quansah? 17 appearances for Liverpool this season and he’s looked like a really good ball playing defender. Maybe Arne Slot wants to come in and not take many risks as he wants to have the best start possible.

He's definitely got more creativity, but KDH is nowhere near where Henderson was for Liverpool.

Given the wage he was on and our financial situation, I felt at the start of the season that the club should have tried to speak about a mutual termination, 70-80k a week in the championship is obviously ludicrous. I’m so glad we didn’t, we’ve been thoroughly let down by the likes of Kel and Patson, and Vardys goals are the difference between us going up automatically and slotting it out in the playoffs. He’s been absolutely integral and he’s clearly got more to offer. Can he do it in the top flight again? Who knows but if we can afford an extension we should. If he feels he wants a new challenge having secured promotion then the Serie A would make much more sense given the slower nature of the league, and I hope he goes there and keeps them up should he decide that’s what he wants. He has to be in the conversation for the greatest ever Leicester player. I know we have some amazing record holders, but the modern game is just so much more difficult and he proved himself one of the most lethal strikers the premier league has ever seen. Sad if it comes to an end but it has to eventually. He needs a statue.

I think 7 years is long enough for a player to leave a lasting legacy at a club, or even write their names as club legends, or at the very least notable players that fans can boast played for them. After 7 years it’s quite telling that the vast majority of fans are wishing him well but really don’t care either way that he’s going. His record on paper is great as we can see a few posts up, and his purple patches were fantastic and helped us out in multiple crunch periods, but ultimately it just felt like he often couldn’t be bothered and was just waiting for a bigger club to come in. Shame really, was fully expecting him to rip this league up, but half of the time I watched him he was just walking about even when we were chasing. It’s just been stale for multiple seasons now, it could have been so much more. Thanks for the memories Kel.

So unless I’m missing something, 33 championship matches in charge, 47 points since he took over, 1.42points per match. Over a 46 game season he would be on for 65 points. 9th with a League 1 squad bar maybe 3-4 players.

I think given they’ve been down in the bottom 3 all season most fans won’t have really understood what’s going on at that club, most won’t even know who was there at the start of the season and know that Danny took over in one of the worst positions I’ve ever seen someone recover from. The job he’s done there is incredible. If we had stayed down and Wednesday went down also, I’d not hesitate to give Danny a crack at us. They had a bit of a blip and they’ve thrown some games away, but for him to come in with Wednesday what 10 points adrift from safety or was it more? With genuine league 1 quality squad and to pull them together and rally the fans around him, spectacular work.

Danny Rohl has to be in the mix for manager of the season. What a job!

I’ve heard about the “Player only meeting” called by Vardy, but I’ve not listened to the interview yet, was it sanctioned by Enzo or just Vardy just take it upon himself? I wonder if anything was discussed beyond what Albrighton said. I would maybe doubt there was anything malicious towards Enzo as the players seem to like him. I just really don’t think it’s a good thing that they needed a player only meeting to discuss what it means to the club etc etc.

He achieved what I expected us to achieve, so well done and thanks for getting us up. We got over the line eventually and that’s all that matters now, we could very well have been financially destroyed if we had failed. Really wish he didn’t gamble the future of the club on his system when it was clear we needed to shake things up during games etc, but that’s by the by now. I hope he gets an offer at a bigger club with the money to build, unfortunately we cannot afford to rebuild with Enzo and even if we could I don’t trust Rudkin to bring in the players needed to make it work. Thanks for promotion, but I hope he walks. it’s frustrating because I do really like the bloke I enjoy listening to him most of the time, but IMO he will never make it to the top unless he completely reverts on his stubbornness and learns to be more pragmatic.

If that’s me getting carried away I must come round yours for a wild night on the shandy’s 😂 Yeah I think you’re right on the performances but I felt like he often just hasn’t fit what we are trying to do. I’m not sure possession football suits him at all

He doesn’t have numbers in terms of goals and assists but he’s been professional this season and done what’s been asked of him, he’s played a simple game and often played it quite well. I know we’ve been in a situation where club and player needed to move on a couple of windows ago, but I do like Praet and I don’t think he’s done much wrong as a professional, it just sometimes felt like a square peg and a round hole. Hope the injury isn’t a bad one and hope to see him feature in the final games. I expect he will go on to another team in Europe and do okay.

Has anyone got the "you've been fatawoo'd" meme handy?

I'd need to watch the Mahrez goal back, but I got flashbacks of a goal vs Blackpool in Fatawu's cut inside goal tonight

Did not see that coming at half time. Great performance, 33% possession well managed from Enzo today, once again Southampton are absolutely awful. We took them to task with ease in the end.

You’ve won the forum with this, cracking effort mate 😂

Im on my phone and I was smiling before I even opened this link as I knew exactly what it was going to be before seeing it, not disappointed at all 😂

When I see this I imagine Bruce Forsyth or some other 90s gameshow host saying "Here's what you could have won!": But instead we end up going home with a toaster

If we got promoted, I'd like to see us go for some ambitious targets, unlikely to work but I'd love to see Paolo Fonseca in the premier league, AFAIK his Lille contract runs out in summer and he plays an attacking style which is quite exciting to watch. But it really would depend on whether we get a points deduction and whether he would have confidence in finding some cheap gems from France to come. The likelihood is he would end up at a mid table squad that wants to push for Europa League.

The way I’m looking at it, we need promotion to atleast delay a financial meltdown at the club, but in the summer we need a complete overhaul and need to be looking at going back to the foundations left by Pearson and Puel, cheap players that we can sell for a profit. This will likely result in relegation from the premier league but the return to the championship will be on a much sounder financial footing where we can still compete and try to get promoted again. So for me it’s about going up now, and bringing in a manager who is pragmatic, young and hungry and basically give them a free hit on relegation (providing we look like we are building/progressing) Then if we get relegated we will have a manager capable of building and getting us back up. If McKenna doesn’t go up with Ipswich and we get promoted, I’d happily give him a few seasons and allow him to get relegated and rebuild in theory.

Honestly this season on so many occasions I’ve hated him, watching him lazily walk around the pitch and seemingly not caring. I’d love to see Cannon get some game time given we will be relying on him next season if we don’t go up, but right now we need experience. I’d play kel. It can’t be worse than 50p head.

There were quite a few polls/threads regarding where people thought we would finish at the beginning of the season. Thought this would be interesting for context of a lot of people’s expectations. Could have done with a bigger sample size tbh

I’d need to fish it out to be honest there were some polls done ages ago, can’t remember the results

I did. Top 2 was absolutely on the cards. Many others felt the same was achievable too.

Is this because we don’t actually have any money in the bank or because we have already exceeded our fair play limitations? If it’s because we have money in the bank but we’ve exceeded our limits then just pull the trigger, we are already going to get a deduction if we stay down.
