So if we appoint a manager who looks to get the ball forward quicker next season, will all the newly enlightened tacticians that sprouted up last season be shouting “pass it back, slow it down”

In some defence of him he was hung out by rodgers. He’d been injured all pre-season only getting fit in the week before the first match. rodgers should never have picked him as he was never going to be ready, then when it was clear and his form was bad he never dropped him.

I wouldn’t be surprised either. If complying means selling our best players and not signing anyone of any quality then I fully think they will as otherwise we’re screwed. Which will only make the situation worse. Careful spending to hopefully make us strong enough to stay up with points deductions is probably the way we’ll go if we can’t comply.

Could be useful on bring your dad to work day.

I’ll take that bet and raise you to 5000/1 says they do

I’m telling you, this team is going to win the league.

One of my favourite Vardy goals that. Love the quick turnover of possession, the ball in that put him through giving you that moment of expectation before the finish.

Ha ha, yes, realised that when I re-read your post. I wondered why you were being a bit harsh on me. Teach me for waking up and reading foxestalk before I’ve fully opened my eyes.

I took this as a sign we're getting Corbaran, doesn't he like to force play out wide with big units defending the balls into the box.

Could it be that his loan contract runs to June 30th. Therfore the new deal kicks in on the 1st July?

Didn’t someone post a daily mail article on here earlier in the week saying that we’d most likely get 4 points? Why isn’t everyone jumping on that like they seem to be the 15 points that’s been reported?

Grobyfox. Apologies, thought you were having a pop at me

I though Alves and Braybrooke signed new contracts as they were returning from injury???

**** me, I went out about 5pm just as this was announced, come back 5 hours and five pages later and people are still raging and ranting the same thing over and over

I would add that the club would be wise to change and become more fan focused as there is a fast growing undercurrent discontent that is getting louder and louder, this is going to cause animosity and problems for the club/board in the near future. We’re seeing already it with the foxes trust membership rising and the trust reform group, they’ll ignore it their own peril, trouble is brewing unless they change, or change the people that are making these decisions that show no fan consideration.

The difference seems to be that wolves appear willing to listen to its fans and react upon their thoughts. As on the other hand we don’t appear to want any fan involvement, won’t listen, and see the fans groups as an hinderance rather than a valuable asset who can have valuable input into making the Matchday experience better for all. They’re not fan centric and have no interest in being so, I doubt the wolves trust would have had any success with our club.

VAR, brought to you by betfair, in game betting, which way will VAR go, penalty, no penalty, bet now.

The only options aren't man city's way or hoof ball though. There's plenty of successful football teams that are more exciting than man city that don't play hoof ball.

Just so I can refer to them as notts forest to one of their fans.

I was speaking to a notts forest fan and last season and he said that some days players were turning up for training and cooper didn’t even know who they were, some others were signed and sent straight out on loan (to olympiacos) without ever setting foot in notts). Must have been difficult to manage under those circumstances.

Agree, I don’t think he’d have gone anywhere either, but as reported the club had sat down and held talks with meresca (after which he agreed to stay) and planned to implement the changes he wanted so hopefully the club will still put this structure in place for the new manager.

I think most fans want quick football, I seem to remember pep getting stick from man city fans before they started winning things. Once results falter the fans turn quicker than when the football is more exciting. Technically and tactically these teams are great but it’s death by football, trying to eliminate the risk and jeopardy that makes the game exciting. There’s plenty of teams that play fast attacking football that isn’t “lump it”, I’d watch these over the likes of man city who I’d tend not to bother with when they’re on tv.

Seem to remember they said Rafa was joining the night before Rodgers did.

I know they usually cost more but what are peoples thoughts on scotch eggs with a runny yolk? Posh or barbaric?

Yeah, and there’s no rhyme or reason to it, you do everything the same and it’s just wrong. So disappointing when that happens.
