A big enough head start as it is, notwithstanding the fact that our directors will all go on holiday once the season is over for 2/3 weeks where nothing will happen.

It won't be quick as in, before the season has finished but Southampton will definitely have the jump on us over the next 3/4 weeks while we flounder about. quite jealous that they've acted quickly and appropriately. They've stated their intention nice and early that they're looking for a new manager. It'll be Danny Rohl and they'll get him in a few weeks before pre-season starts. We won't sack Ruud until the season is over and then we'll piss about for a month trying to find someone.

He gets unfair criticism IMO. I'd take Lampard.

🎵 You're a bunch of ***** and we wish you never played for the club again, you're a bunch of ***** and we wish you never played for the club again, you're a bunch of ***** and we wish you never played for the club again, you're a bunch of ***** and we wish you never played for the club again 🎵

Looks like Southampton have acted upon a relegation clause but the way Ruud talks about not leaving makes me really worried that Rudkin wasn't clever enough to put a similar clause in Ruud's contract.

Quality in the Premier League has fallen off a cliff since our last relegation. Watching United vs City and nothing remotely impressive has happened in 35 minutes. Neither team can string 5 passes together unless they're sideways and some of the touches have been awful.

Not having that as an excuse by the way. He still lives over 100 miles away from Leicester.

He's dogshit.

About time the club stood up to players treating the City as a nuisance. I say you either live here and take in the culture of Leicester/Leicestershire and it's people or **** off if it's not up to scratch. Sick of people commuting from London or Manchester. People wonder why players look like they don't care or don't want to be here and it's because the simple fact of the matter is they don't care and they don't want to be here.

You'd like to think that his decision to stay wouldn't be money motivated but you do get the impression that he'll stay so long as Top will gladly give him £140k a week.

Anyone wanting to go and sit in the City Ground to watch an already relegated Leicester play against a Forest side that will likely get UCL football with a win against us should be forced to hand their season ticket in. That away end should be empty. It'll be worse than that 5-1 from years ago.

Delighted that Ipswich won because I would hate it if we squirmed our way out of relegation thanks to a massive Man City points deduction. 19th and a full reset in the summer please.

Come on. He was on the bench in that game for the experience of being around a (don't laugh) Premier League dressing room as it prepared for a match. It showed him how (again, don't laugh) professionals prepare for games.

Yeah I think some of you need to get real. He's a 15 year old boy and, as talented as he obviously is, he shouldn't be playing against grown men in the Premier League. He's developing at the right rate in the U18s and U21s. If he goes to Man City or Real Madrid or wherever then it won't be because we didn't let him play the last 5 minutes in a match in the league.

Maybe relates to the FBS sponsorship? They were due to sponsor us last season.

That's not as bad as I thought it would be. Still horrendous, mind you considering we're going into the same situation with maybe a quarter of the squad value that we went down with in 22/23.

No doubt about it Maguire scores against us from that position.

Garnacho is ****ing diabolical.

This Forest side are everything we're not.

That Villa game was over 3 months ago and we mustered 2 shots on target.

Completely agree. It's very apparent that Top's interest in the club is waning. We'd be completley ****ed if he spent all that money and then just decided he wanted it back.

I genuinely don't know whether this is right or not but i'm pretty confident that things like the Hotel and Womens Team sales don't count towards PSR for Chelsea.

I agree but Haaland would score more against us considering the sheer number of chances we give away.

Completely agree. Yes I can understand the immediate shift when going from somewhere rough and ready to somewhere where everything is catered for. I could see why players might 'struggle' for a 6 months or so while they adapt but we moved into Seagrave nearly 5 years ago. There is no excuse. The facility is perfect for football.

He's 17 and has already played 8 times for Liverpool after they paid nothing for him (yet). Not really about him tearing it up for them but more that he's clearly a very talented lad and we don't own him.
