  1. Coaching staff leaving with the manager is pretty much the norm and it's a tradition that one of our players joins Chelsea each summer.
  2. Way back in '96, 90 minutes magazine published an article saying we wouldn't win a single game, we finished 9th and won the league cup. You just never know with Leicester, that's the greatest joy of following the club for nigh on 50 years, even our bad times are spectacular. The "League 1" thing that's coming up more and more often is interesting, as you get older time moves quicker, it's recent history to me, much less so to a 20 something, when I was that age the older fans were telling me how dreadful we were and how great the 60s were but I was loving the annual Wembley trips and at least competing in the 2nd tier. Everyone take a deep breath, the good times will come again and at some point in our lifetimes it'll be a whole lot worse than now. Enjoy the ride, there's no other club in the world that gets the heart racing like ours. COYF!!!!!
  3. It's not so much that, they're just the most boring club in football. They haven't even had the decency to be relegated. If football was a theme park we'd be the rollercoaster and they'd be the hook-a-duck.
  4. Me too, I dare say we'd have met a few times then.
  5. If they do it'll be the first time in 30 years something interesting has happened to them.
  6. I agree entirely and from a playing point of view, clearing the ropes more often is always a crowd pleaser.
  7. Maybe I'm in a small minority but a day at Grace Road is so relaxing, value for money and enjoyable. If everyone who supported LCFC tried a couple of days a season down there it would transform the club. Could County offer 1 free ticket for each LCFC STH per season, it might boost a few crowds put some money in the coffers of the club shop, The Meet etc. and get some coming back for more.
  8. Thinking about the starting 11 for Monday and trying to be positive in the wake of the Lens debacle. We should have 7 experienced PL players and 4 really talented youngsters. I know I'm clutching at straws but ever the optimist.
  9. Definitely, could go top with a win on Monday.
  10. No, Mark McGhee, eve of the 1995 season opener at Sunderland, he and Mark Robins scored with former Fox Steve Agnew getting the Sunderland goal in a 2-1 win for us. I'm such a sad bastard, I didn't even need Google.
  11. I'm no great fan of his but nicknames a 5 year old would think up are a bit ordinary.
  12. Pooper? Come on, that's embarrassing.
  13. The belief that any player can be sold unilaterally is still alive and well then! Nobody wants them!
  14. Don't clubs categorise at the start of the season? If so they can tally up the total pretty easily and Leeds will be cat A at every club in the Championship.
  15. There would seem to be a semantic argument. I would say that the way our model was set up was to buy young players to then sell on at a profit to, along with tv and matchday money, fund the wage bill. Clearly, for that to work, we needed to pay big wages to secure contracts long enough to not end up with a Tielemans situation. Unfortunately our success identifying talented players dried up, that's not on Top though. The PSR problems are a matter of losses made and they've only come out of one person's pocket.
  16. Because the loans that were converted into equity are a direct result of investment into the squad.
  17. The Ian Wilson Back Pass Shield
  18. If your kid asks for an example of an oxymoron for their homework, this is a good one.
  19. Yep, he got loads of deals done. Matt Jones, Ade Akinbiyi, Dennis Wise, Lee Marshall etc.
  20. If Boehly is intelligent he's keeping it under wraps.
  21. Picked the number out of thin air but you're right, it would be significantly more.
  22. If the club is valued at say £200m that's about £8k per season ticket holder. Some could afford significantly more, most much less.
  23. I'm embracing the shithousery, I want an attacking threat not a drinking partner.
  24. I think that ship has sailed!
