The flaw in that argument is that were we to win promotion next season, weād still have Faes, Vestegaard, Ayew & DCR stinking up the place & costing a fortune in wages. Try getting rid of chaff when theyāre on those wages!

Given my season ticket away for this one. And in what Iām pretty sure is a first, Iāll choose not to watch it on TV either. Watching a recent Fulham game on the box, and remembering just how awful Castagne was in that 5-3 drubbing, it made me think just how far weāve fallen. Timmy is still miles better than all of our defenders (possibly bar Ricardo) and used to get pelters on here, I felt often unfairly. Iāve been watching us 60 years now and Castagne is comfortably in the top 5/6 right backs weāve had in that time, even allowing for his failings. When will we next have a full back that good? When will we next have a CB of PL quality? A midfielder to rival Tielemans and Maddison?

Of course, domestic football started in 1992 and European football started whenever we replaced the European Cup with this now bloated & rigged farce called the Champions League. Celebrating reaching the quarter finals?! Give over, Villa are former winners!

He was in my first draft! But you canāt leave Walshy out!

Mads Woyo JJ Okoli Kristiansen Wilf Ricardo Facundo Bilal Mavs Pato I canāt bear the thought of seeing Faes, Coady or Vesty ever playing for us again. I realise Iām going to have to tolerate them all for several more years yet, but canāt wait to see Souttar & Nelson or Okoli next season. PS. I can really. In fact I can probably wait a few years before going againā¦

Who cares?

He wouldnāt. Why? Because the board know this is on them.

The definitive list of King Power / John Rudkin c**k ups.
Steve Earle replied to AKCJ's topic in Leicester City Forum
Excellent post, but it only scratches the surface! A couple of years ago, on the Big Strong Leicester Boys podcast, @Ric Flair had a monumental rant, with each of a long list of negligent leadership accusations ending āf**k you!ā aimed at the person responsible. From memory, the utterly absurd contracts given to semi-broken players like James, Ricardo & JJ, or to past-its like Albrighton featured heavily. Iād love to hear it again - it was absolutely spot on! -
Allegedly, we didnāt get a single offer for Youri in either summer 21 or 22. Allegedly. I suspect the usual suspect of botching this! Our only chance of getting Ā£50m for Youri was hot on the FA Cup win, when instead we spaffed a fortune on Vestegaard, Bertrand, Soumare & Daka⦠Iāve resisted the temptation to read too much into his facial expressions that season. I do recall the horror of a video clip that season showing Youriās being sprinted past by a referee!
-
Thatās harsh and pure speculation. He was carrying some weight and plainly not as fit as he had been/is now, but I lay that as much at Rodgersās door (overplaying him) as Youriās. One of our best ever midfielders, who had a really poor 22/23 (he shouldnāt have been here, should he?).

Ruud van Nistelrooy - New Manager - Official
Steve Earle replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
The fact (which I believe it is) that our board targeted two managers who couldnāt really be more different in playing style & philosophy speaks volumes. At Brighton, for example, theyāll already have 3-4 names as potential future managers, all playing a similar style to the present and previous managers. Moyes & Potter - I ask you! Confirms the clownish process that saw them flip from Scott Parker then flop on a hunch to Enzo -
Iām fine thanks

Iāve 60 years of watching under my belt, and Vardy is without question the greatest player weāve had in that period. But I hope and pray he leaves or retires at the end of this season. I couldnāt bear to watch even further deterioration in the Goat. Let him please score the goal that keeps us up and call it a day! We can dream, canāt we?!?
-
I canāt be there but were I attending the game Iād bring my own pitchfork! Thereās literally nothing more important now for Leicester City than the owner understanding that the current leadership of our club is performing at an unacceptably awful level, and has done for at least four years. Sleepwalking into two relegations in three years should be all the proof Top needs. Good luck @ProjectReset and to all your backers.
