Manwell Pablo

Yeah, that's competitive mate, picking up results, being above the relegation zone and actually being able to score a goal at your own stadium most weeks, by definition means you are competing. It's what he was bought in to do, not entertain, not play nice football, get points, keep us up. And if anyone has any other expectations of him with that squad then they are just being completely unrealistic. What's not competitive is not scoring a single goal at home for best part of 5 months and only having that duck broken by the two sides worse than we are once they were both already down.

Well no it's not. When you didn't want Cooper out in the first place Hindsight has nothing to do with it. You don't sack a manager for doing his job, Leicester City in 15th in the PL and looking reasonably competitive in nearly all our games was Steve Cooper doing his job, ridiculously harsh sacking.

Well I didn’t want him in the first place and I still don’t want him now but I don’t see us realistically sacking him any time soon unless he loses a good two or three on the bounce.

I was at Clay cross vs Gresley tonight so cant make an informed opinion. If anyone has footage of the warm up though im happy to give thoughts.

It's heavy because it's just a ridiculous thing to pick up on and it's getting likes because it's factual Do me a favor and please do watch the next set of official's the EFL appoint us and pre predict their performance based on their preening. And his performance was far from perfect but above average for me, we've had far worse. Not the reason we didn't win that game in the slightest.

Sorry, are we saying officials aren’t allowed to warm up now. I mean of all the undeserved bias influenced bile you normally get in threads like this after a bad result that’s a new one.

I mean yes you are correct, It’s just not in his dna to track a 60 yard run is it. Wouldn’t even call it lazy just a lack of perception and swifts got yards on him before he’s even picked the run up. That’s what you get with Harry Winks, unfortunately midfielders who can knock the ball about and successfully read and track runs from deep with consistency cost quite a lot of money. And as it’s been stated already he’s hardly the first port of call for blame for that goal. We have what we have. The second half display in general was the most concerning point for me without picking the bones out of the goal which you have to credit Portsmouth for, it’s is a very good counter attack and a great finish which wasn’t easy to defend.

I mean agreed but if you also look at BC games in comparison to the companies there there's a big difference. No one's asked why they went bankrupt, so I'll tell you why, $2.5 million not payed out to customers, and an outstanding claim with one customer who deposited a million US dollars which they froze and stole.

I could take a gambling company, I think we are somewhat being naive to discount gambling companies completely until something is done about their ability to advertise in parliament as that is where the issue needs solving. This gambling company however…..

Ok, we should accept being linked to gambling company that at best has been proven to not met consumer needs in a industry where not meeting industry standards can cause people serious mental health issues, serious financial issues, or death. And it worst has links to money laundering and potentially organised crime, because Chelsea seem to have got getting around FFP down to a fine art? Not really comparable situations are they. Like I say, it’s hyperbole, or you don’t seem to appreciate exactly how shady bc games are.

Find examples of any Premier League club sponsored by a gambling company that has the levels of transparency you have just described in your own words as "nobody knows 100% about them" and that has had to pull out of the UK market under threat of removal of their license

Hyperbole. And another example of fans excusing the continued poor running of this club.

Magnificent creatures. Myself and Tony have been seen in the same room however and I doubt he's still alive tbh.

And why would you think that.

......Does that not ring an alarm bell to you.

You don't understand gambling addicts very well then. 100% guarantee in a moment of weakness at least a few will have relapsed into one of the less reproable companies (and BC Games seems to be about as "less reproable" as you can get) littering English football teams shirts as they will be ones they are not self excluded from and more importantly companies like BC Game will not care if they are self excluded elsewhere.

Completely. Needs putting on his grave stone, "Here lies Wout Faes, finally gone to ground at the appropriate moment"

I've got us in any game involving him mate. After Al's pre match team talk, You'll have had Marko Stamenic and Ji-Sung Eom asking Cameron Burgess who the **** Manwell Pablo is anyway in the tunnel. That's why they were garbage for the first 25 minutes. Just need to get in for half time so he can start ranting about me again. (Rent Free)

Bending certainly. However Chelsea's company that answers to the PL rules has kept it's nose clean, that's all that matters, these clubs are run by rich successful men, rich successful men who have got to be rich and successful in parts by bending rules emplaced by international governments, so if they are good at it (Top and co are not) they aren't going to have a problem with the PL, using their holding companies, and selling assets for fair market value, using for sponsorship to shift money from other companies to the football club for high, but not completely unreasonable fee's. etc I am not sure what more you want the PL to do other than charge them, the PL vs Manchester City has been going on for donkeys mainly because City have been fighting it and will probably continue to fight it tooth and nail, and have loop holes, something we are allowed to do apparently but no one else is according to you, there is not any conclusive verdict on if they've actually done anything wrong yet btw , you are making assumptions, and their lawyers seem confident the PL charges are misplaced. I have no idea what will happen to them if they are found guilty, perhaps you should wait and see before you start getting irate about it? This all detracts from the main issue, our club is a disorganised mess when it comes to it's running's. If we cannot even submit accounts we are going to get charged aren't we, we've made it easy for them and complaining about inconsistency in the rules detracts from the real issue, we need the club to be run in a far more efficient manner than it is.

I haven't heard that one before but no I doubt that would be a points deduction, that sounds more like a fine. Points deductions are generally to do with Profit and Sustainability rules. Again does it really matter. We shouldn't be making excuses for the failings at the top of the club, we should be highlighting them. You did kind of throw a hand grenade into the forum by attacking the fans, not saying I don't agree with some of the points you've made but your always going to get a reaction posting that

And again, this is an ill informed point of view because the PL have charged Manchester City with 115 charges and they have a hearing in October, and Chelsea haven't actually broken any rules. We are no different from Manchester City we are both process pending potential final verdict/punishment and both cases it's been going on for seasons and in both cases no sanction, as of yet, has been imposed on either club.

Think he'd bury the current version of Joshua before Joshua would land cleanly, This version of Joshua is worried about being hit, which is irc what leads to him getting hit. I think AJ is just best to beat up Jake earn a lot of money and disappear into the sunset with a half decent legacy in tact to be honest.

Wouldn't say the division's been shallow during Whyte's career at all tbh, Joshua, Wlad, Fury, Usyek, Dubois, Parker, Wilder despite his technical limitations..... backed up by a good 5 or 6 who could give the prementioned a good run on their night....Not quite what it was in the 90's or the 70's but certainly a pretty solid era. I do agree he is a far cry from the fighter that beat Parker though, been in one to many ding dongs I think, too many miles on the clock and taken three (well four now) pretty heavy knockout losses. He can lose all the weight he wants he's still warn out and getting on.

I agree with this, people happy with situation or trying to blame the football league/Premier League for picking us up on our failings at PSR level instead acknowledging it's our problem are far more of a problem than those that just want to go to a football game. I think the majority on here do at least get there is a problem though.

In his defense probably richer with more time and far less frustration. I'm not really one for telling people not to go or spend money at the club never mind call them part of the problem for doing so, people can do what they want for me but it's pretty hard to call giving your time and money to Leicester City football Club cutting your nose of to spite your face at the moment. I'd say doing so is probably more accurate.
