I guess we're not in a great position to be too fussy and any sponsorship is better than none, I guess. I'm sure it's 10 million at least, I just hope we use the money wisely. So far other than Fatawu I'm not very impressed with the Calibre of signings, but then I guess they have something to prove

So how much money are we getting for the Sponsorship, Anybody know. ?

So he can play everywhere bar in Goal. I don't know anything about him but possibly a good squad player as you never know who gets injured. In terms of quality though, We really need to be aiming higher. people who can effect games and results. The way forward is upcoming youth with ability who just need that exposer and polishing off to the finished article. I think possibly thats where Coopers best Talents is in developing young players so why not build on that.

4 million is probably the modern equivilant to Vardy's 1 million fee from Non league. At least this lad comes from a Club with a pedigree for signing talented young players. I think he's going to be a big success once he toughens up a little but he won't lack the talent. He looks like he can play as a Winger also if needed as well as all midfield positions. He's two footed and confortable on the ball. I have big hopes for him. While he may need time to find his feet with the pace of the league I think he'll be fine. Building for the future.

Maybe he thought he was buying the Premier league when he bought a piece of utd. Who the F**K does he think he is the entitle BX. At least our Owners own all of the Club. No wonder they are questioning how it's been run by a charletons. The sooner regulation comes in the better for smaller Clubs and the Fans. Let the big 6 piss of and play a league amongst themselves and see how many turns up to watch after a Month.

Thanks, So they do still exist. So maybe that's still the way they initally register players still.

I'm not sure they do exist now, But I'm sure the importance of a time stamp still applies which ever system is used.

You very conviently forgot the fact that he gave away the Goal with a schoolby error against a premiership winger. All I know about him is what I've seen and I don't like him. But I'm open to him winning me over. When the going got tough in the relegation year he done a runner. Not the level of committment you want from any player.

Yes, he's young and has a little more experience. Though the Italian league has been poor for quite some time. Granted the enviroment will have changed but many of the same players are still here and I'm sure he'd rather be somewhere else. I'm also certain if they Club could get the money back on him they'll grab it though. So lets wait and see what happens.

Not really, I'm basing it on what I've seen of him here. The premierleague is unforgiving compared to other leagues. Do I think he's better than JJ , certainly not, So why keep him. We'll just have to hope that Cooper can get more from him than we've seen so far if he stays.

I wouldn't put a lot of faith in him based on the Italian league. It's a completely different animal to the high temo of the premiership. He was badly exposed in the England game and didn't seem to offer much going forward either. I'd really prefer us to get our money back on him and get someone else who also wants to be here.

You need to be very careful when letting young players join lower league clubs. It's a big step up for young players. Not Football wise because mostly they would run rings atound lower league players. The issue is there's many players etching out a living down the leagues and won't take kindly to a young player showboating his talent and making them look inadequate. It's full of Cloggers who sadly would injure a young player sooner than let him show them up and costing them their livelyhood. Great if the young player is a big strong lad but not good if he's a lightweight. In which case he's better staying put while the Coaches build up his strength and allow his body to develop as he ages a little more. It's not an exact science but a lot depends on the young players confidence levels coupled with the Clubs expectations as the last thing they want is to lose a players for a long time due to injury like Alves and Braybrooke.

He was a poor signing who hasn't proved good enough anywhere. I hope we get rid and get that Spanish lad on a free transfer in his place. Better player more experience and on a free. Whats not to like.

Get this done today. We don't want to leave it late into tomorrow and have another 14 second fiasco.

I'd prefer not to have Cassadei back given what he said, But if it has to be it has to be. 30 million for kdh and a few loans for a season. That way we get help. The Players get experience and Chelsea still own them. A win win all round.

If he has to be sold I hope he goes to Chelsea as he deserves a good move given his loyal service to us. I hope we can also get a few of the Chelsea development players on loan for the year which would ease our financial problems. Really though I'd prefer to have him here next season. So lets see what happens.

Surely it has to be Fatawu on the 1st. Unless John wants to keep us in suspense.

I don't think we're getting the best from him. I'd move him to midfield where his natural agression could win us more Ball while replacing him with another strong CB behind him. Having said that if we get a decent offer for him with a profit I'd take it and we move on.

The Key to success in any club starts with the Manager. That's why I've said many times on here spend the money on the right Manager and give yourself a real chance of success. The right Manager can find and sign the right players to do a job. Mahrez and Vardy Kante just 3 players we know so well who didn't cost the Earth and proved key to our success with others. They can inspire players to achive more, Lead players by making them feel 10 ft tall and invincible. Create the right working environment and ambiance around the Club. Keeping pressure off the players so their only concern is winning the next game. This is important in the modern game as there are so many distractions out there. I'd put Rashford in that catagory, Who felt rightly or wrongly he wasn't getting the support or love he needed at Utd. That's how small the margins can be between success and failure. I bet Southgate is regretting not bringing Rashford or Grealish to the Euros now, looking at how poor the left side of his team have performed. ( I don't think he's any good as a Manager. ) Management is a lonely place, The Book stops with you, But you have to follow your own beliefs knowing your never going to get everything right, Nobody does. I wish Cooper every success and I hope he delivers for us. What I do know is he will give it his very best efforts after his experience with Forest. He's an experienced Coach with great credentials, What's unkown is his ability to get the very best from the squad we have. He has his Forest experience to lean on. I also feel the Club will give him every support possible within the financial constraints placed on them. I'm quitely confident he has the know how to keep us in the Premiership for another season while we get the Club back on track.

This is one of the issues in most Club access to live games. Hopefully the Ground expansion will help somewhat in this area. Though my gut feeling is it will just prolong the need for a bigger stadium because we're gathering more fans year on year. What I would like to see the Club do is provide a number of Tickets for what I'd call Country and oversea's Fans. Those living in further away from Leicester and Oversea's I think this would help include these Fans while also speading the word of our great Club further afield.

Yes they could reach out more to Fans, But I think that's more a cultureal upbringing in Thailand, which I believe was a Dictatorship for a long time.st to not get into any of that The other problem is how far do they reach out. Talking is fine but when it comes to disagreement for any number of reasons, Some outside the remit of the Club. Sometimes it's best just to not get into any of that. Especially at a time when I'm sure there's so much more pressing issues like the Stadium expansion, New Season, Signings outgoings etc. All Managers will want the Fans onside, But look how Enzo divided Fans , Many didn't like his style of play or refusal to adapt at times. Personnally I thought he was the best Coach I've ever seen and I've no doubt he'll deliver at Chelsea over the next couple of seasons. Fans of all Clubs lost the right to dictate to their Clubs when they allowed the money people to take them over and run them as a business, In some cases pocketing huge sums from the Clubs to fund their own lifestyle. This is why regulation is very much needed to protect the future of Clubs and Football in the interest of local Communities. Thankfully we're very lucky in that our Owners have never to my knowledge taken money out of the Club. Instead putting mind blowing amounts of money to ordinary people to clear debts and move the Club forward . While also improving the Infrastruture for years to come. Look forward for a minute say 10 years. Seagrave will be paid for and all debts cleared. Look at the money we will have then to put towards signings which will likely keep us in the Top Six going forward. Yes there's a few issues with Fans, But as Clubs go I really think we have less to worry about and more to look forward too than most Clubs and Fans. I'm excited and looking forward to the new Manager what h'ell bring and the new season in the Premiership. Even though it's going to be challenging. Enjoy the New Season and the Football, Hopefully.

Once it's anywhere but here I'm fine with it.

While I totally agree with you my point was the if it did turn out to be a decisive game all the Uk Fans ST and Fans wouldn't want to miss it. So the logistics of moving 140k fans would be enormous. Not to mention the us fans who also would want to attend It just seems a daft and not very well taught out idea.

What happens if the league decider comes down to the 39th game like Man city vs Arsenal decider a couple of years ago. Do they expect 140thousand Fans to fly to America for the game. The Government needs to step in and stop this crazy idea and protect our game.

People so very conveniently willing to forget about the Accident. Legalaties from such an event can likely take between 2 to 5 years to unravel all the complexities. During that times Companies are usually just ticking over with Senior staff having to make decisions they wouldn't be otherwise called to make. Yes mistakes have been made, But if you think it's easy just look at Chelsea ! Billion wasted, Everton almost facing extinction. I see our mistakes more as an effort to support a Manager who after winning the Cup, May have thought he knew what he was doing. When clearly he didn't when it came to signing players, From which we are still suffering the afters. Then they brought in Enzo which proved they have learned and proved a masterstroke. He delivered exactly what was asked of him and yet some are still not happy. Of 24 Clubs trying to win the Championship we were the ones that came out on top. All the Club asks from Fans is to to support the Club. While they spend ever larger Amounts of their own money trying to help us compete at the top of the Game. As someone who remembers all the barren years through the 70.80.90,00 with half full stadium and little success I'm loving the last 10 years. Just relax, Let them continue to run the Club as they've done a brilliant job so Far. While we continue to support the team and wait for more success.
