Managers aren’t like players, they don’t have a clear ability level. With players you can see what level they should be playing at, but with Managers compatibility with a club/squad plays a much bigger part. Wilder and Dyche feel like a bad fit for a club looking to start building a new pathway over the next 4 or 5 years. A club with one of the best training grounds in Europe and, what seems like, a generational group of young players emerging. Dyche and Wilder are old school, traditional managers. They can be effective, but only when the circumstances are right.

Nope, it's a V neck.

August 10th - Leicester City 0-1 Sheffield Wednesday

Carsley is a coach and unfortunately in our situation we need a Manager. He looked really uncomfortable with the media when he was caretaker of the senior side and has little experience with club football.

If a relay is required it could have been done in May, ready for this match. I don’t think anyone needs to look far to find something to moan about.

Mad that Percy explicitly ruled out Dyche earlier and yet he remains odds on.

With so many clubs putting their match ticket prices up year after year, the club reverting to prices from two seasons ago, plus also adding in two lower tiers, is at the very least a step in the right direction. We’ll never know if it was the Trust that forced this, but the Trust in the past haven’t been as explicit with their thoughts and demands as they have been recently. We know the club heard the Trust and we know the club have subsequently acted in a positive way. With no pressure from anyone I’m not sure they would have done that.

They'll just sell it back to themselves at a cut price.

One too many cameras for my liking.

Imagine this but, as is always the case, a weird mix of gold and white all crammed together into something lacking coherence.

Yes, but all Asian or Thai investors. There are bigger things at play hereand I suspect the image and reputation of Thailand is the aspect that’s being prioritised at all times by all parties, not Leicester City.

I have been as anti-Dyche as possible over the last few years, whenever his name has inevitably come up, and although I stand by it all, after the near miss with Russell Martin or the thought of Michael Carrick I'm about 5% less disgusted by the idea. However, it would prove that there is zero plan or identity within the club. Just flitting from one extreme to another, gambling on things left, right and centre in the hope that it papers over the gaping chasms that exist within the senior hierarchy of the club.

Promoted to Chairman. I don’t think it’ll change much for us.

Nope.

Unless what I’ve seen is wrong, highly doubt we’ll get maroon. Could be wrong though.

That’s the problem. Could wear it against Cov possibly and then whenever we randomly wear an away kit against non-blue teams.

Home: Gold is back. Away: Lovely, not sure when we’d wear it.

Yellow.

When you consider how much cheaper season tickets are compared to normal match tickets, plus the fact that if you give up your season ticket you go to the bottom of the priority list, then I think losing over 10% in one summer is actually quite a strong message.

He sneers at anything new or modern at any opportunity, in the same way Allardyce did towards the end of his career. Watch his Stick to Football interview and it’s really clear that he doesn’t really believe in data, analytics or any new tactical trends. He’s entrenched in the old ways. He’s another one that we did a talk with when I worked on FM and a lot of questions were about data, recruitment, how he worked with Directors of Football etc. Most questions were answered quite dismissively, as if he knew those things were unavoidable nowadays but he didn’t believe in them. They were a hindrance to him. When we have a state of the art training ground and fruitful academy, we need someone that believes in that. We need someone that’s innovative in their thinking, in the same way Pearson was all those years a go.

A good chunk of our fanbase will welcome Dyche, but it means the following things: 1) Another wild swing in style of play, for which our current squad is not well suited to. 2) Little opportunities for Academy players. 3) A steer away from modern, innovative techniques for recruitment, analysis and training. 4) Further protection of Rudkin’s role.

Ok, “…surely ANY journalist knows the meaning of the word “latter”.

It would make more sense, but surely a prominent journalist knows the meaning of the word “latter”.

Style aside, this is the crux of it for me. I don’t buy that “he’ll get us promoted”. It probably guards against a totally calamitous season, but he took over a Southampton team that had been an established Premier League side for 11 years, in a world where the gulf between the PL and Championship is as big as it’s ever been, and he finished 4th. I’d say that’s a slight underachievement? In the Premier League he then masterminded one of the most pathetic showings in the leagues history. His reputation is inflated because he chooses style over results. Image over tangible progression. For the clubs who are still stuck in the past and desperate to replicate Pep and Man City, he is a dream. For everyone else, a nightmare awaits.

Are there any videos of the chants yesterday?
