There's not a lot to get excited or even optimistic about with this side, but talk of us being dead and buried in March with 11 games to go is literally mental. There is so much criticism of the players on here for not caring about or fighting for the shirt - all I can say is I'm glad some of you lot aren't pulling it on either, **** me.

We were 5pts off the playoffs before Oxford game - though I can't believe they weren't aware we were likely getting a pretty hefty deduction.

I don't know, looking at the horrendous running costs we have - a couple of seasons stuck in League One could be enough. Had no idea the training ground cost such a tremendous amount of money to run. You can cut the wage bill, but you can't cut that - short of selling it. And who would want to buy it for the price we'd put on it?

Yes completely in denial, blaming anyone and anything else, totally incapable of any kind of introspection. It's gotten to the point where I don't even think King Power CAN go anymore, because there's literally no-one else out there who will want to buy us and immediately start haemorrhaging money.

Well, never thought we'd be here - but could be nearer than we think by the looks of things. Some pretty interesting information on the FSA's page: https://thefsa.org.uk/fan-resources/resource-training/community-owned-clubs/setting-up-a-new-club/ Time for Leicester Fosse FC?

Says it all doesn't it? They should be down on bended knee.

If he's been at the training ground, as suggested, then he can't be that averse.

Announcing Pearson as interim until the end of the season with King as assistant manager would be such a simple, easy win for the club in terms of getting the fans back onside that it beggars belief they've not just got it done. Top and Rudkin think we're 'better' than the likes of Pearson, when the truth is that they have run us so far into the ground that we're actually worse off than the last time he was here.

I'm not going to get my hopes up, we are 100% going to end up with Martin or Gerrard - someone like that.

Interesting! It was really highly accredited for my specific subject (journalism) but guess that's not reflective of the uni as a whole.

DMU was great when I did my masters there back in 2009. Really good university - never really saw any trouble or anyone causing any problems. What's happened?

Waghorn was my fav 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Tbh Kingy should dust off his boots and play himself.

We can't start Page and Choudhury in the middle, end of. Aribo is probably better than Hamza, and is better than Page at this point in his young career. Winks attitude still a question mark, and James out injured, it would be stupid not to sign someone. Some combo of Aribo/Skipp/Winks until JJ is back will be better than what we started with on Sat.

It's just a backup option while other players get fit tbf, nothing to get excited about - but it is what it is

Well we'll definitely score then.

Wouldn't have thought it would be much at all, but agree. Be surprised if they've even heard of him, let alone if they're considering him for the job.

You've said this about 5 times now - I'm sure you think it's very funny - but he's also been Director of Football at arguably the best sporting university in the country, his work with the England national Futsal team was impressive, he's worked with England u18s, he's worked with Leeds u21s and been their interim manager, and his current side are only 12 places below us in the football pyramid, where he's done a stellar job with very little budget, outperforming lots of historically bigger clubs. He's not just a PE teacher from Lutterworth College is he? It's like calling Postecoglu a Australian lower league manager because that's where he started out. Incidentally I don't think we should be looking at a manager who lost 60% of his games in his final season with a historically top 6 club and recorded their lowest ever lowest ever finish in football's modern era, before going to our rivals and losing nearly every single game and getting sacked after a month.

Well we're not in one at the minute? 17th in form table, not great, not absolutely dreadful either - there are plenty of teams doing worse than us, on fewer points. As I said, closer to the playoffs than the relegation zone. Obviously a pts deduction changes the outlook, but we don't know what that will be.

I keep hearing that the players need a 'kick up the arse' - do we really think this load of over-paid, underperforming prima donnas will respond (or even give a shit) if some Sam Allardyce style character comes in and starts throwing his weight around? I really, really doubt it.

Tbh, if you're out of work - like Rowett, for example - a cushy 4 month contract on big money at the 5* Seagrave Hotel & Spa would be pretty enticing tbh. If you keep us up, it boosts your profile, maybe you get a perm contract, if we go down - "oh well, they were a basket case and they got a pts deduction". Sounds like the owners don't want an interim anyway.

I don't particularly think we're in a relegation fight, we're closer to the playoffs than the relegation zone. Definition of mid table, we win 1-2 games then lose 1-2 games, throw in the occasional draw here and there. This will obviously change based on any points deduction we get, and the club will likely have some idea of what that might be. I'm wary of just going for 'has managed a lot of teams/games in the championship and will give the players a kick up the arse' as our main metric for getting someone through the door - the last time we tried to get someone with a bit of experience in to shore things up, it was Dean Smith and we got relegated. It just smacks of a lack of confidence to me personally. I would take someone like Pearson until the summer, provided the board were clear it was an interim job, but from what I've read they want to make a permanent appointment, which means whoever we go for is likely to be here beyond the summer. I'd really like the owner and the board to think about what they want this football club to be, what it's identity is - and be brave and appoint a manager with a long term strategy. This experiment which started well with Rodgers and has basically seen us in decline ever since needs to end, we need a reset. I don't think appointing a firefighter is going to help us in the long run unfortunately, neither will appointing another possession merchant.

He's finished - he's back in Sweden managing their national team isn't he?
