I don't disagree but we haven't a choice

Should we have saw out the season with Cooper? And should we have saw out this season with Cifuentes? Has the pursuit for better managers caused further rot?

The year after we won the title. Was the beginning. We had a recovery under Puel and Rogers (initially). We then imploded under Rogers. That 1st game of the season against Brentford. 2-0 up and Rogers refused to make a substitution as he had been saying he needed players and we drew 2-2... The teams, tactics and substitutes he made from that point on started the change in attitude amongst the club as it all became all about money. Rogers a pay off from being sacked. The players on high wages. The club PSR. And the fans distrust in the squad, management and the first questions about the hierarchy.

I know.

This. Only if we win our next 3 games will I allow myself hope

I think we are doomed. I don't know how he changes it with 4 games to go. There isn't a player he can bring in different to what we have got. The youngsters aren't bailing us out of this.

I know it's popular to have a pop at him but it wasn't a penalty. He played the ball into the attacker. Hence why it was a goal kick. His chasing back for their goal was his clanger today. But even there he needed Ricardo to slow the player on the ball down by engaging him while he had nobody to pass too.

A few asking what Skipp does. He breaks down the oppositions play by intercepting passes or getting in the faces of players. This sometimes drags him out of position which is why he needs a midfield partner who can also run. Winks takes up the space but doesn't cover ground well. James does the things Skipp doesn't do and runs hence why they are the best pair. Therefore you either play Winks in a 3 with two 8s like in the Maresca season or you play James and Skipp in a two.

Has anyone made a list of who is going as their contract is up?

I think we can survive. We should survive. And that's the problem. After a conversation with an Oxford United fan (yes they have one) I've come to realise we have the hardest challenge as teams won't roll over for us; the already on the beach thing won't happen. Opposing teams like nothing better than kicking the ass of a load of Premier League has beens. It's reputation building for opposing players. We are a free hit to teams with nothing to play for. Hopefully, he was just a great wind up and very wrong.

Ha sorry. My point still stands tho. Whether it's standards, mentality or fight we are improving from some terrible runs of defeats. Hopefully it will be enough.

Hey a clean sheet. 2 in 3 games. Keep the faith! In no way am I a happy fox or a happy clapper but I do see improvement and a bit of identity under Rowett. If only we weren't so fragile mentally. But then again, that's our 1st 0-0 this season. Perhaps our mentality is improving too.

To prove it's the players who are letting the club down rather than the manager and his assistants. Hence why he is playing the 'more experienced players'.

I can only guess that 11 is to do with energy levels- players needing a rest. So frustrating. I can't wait for this season to end. Sadly, I felt the same last season as well, and at times the season before.

In an ideal world both Tottenham and West Ham come down. The PSR requirements for both clubs would be enormous and it might bring about a rule change that benefits us.

I don't get why Luke is being blamed for the equaliser. He did his job- covering the CB. Mavididi can't be everywhere either. The issue was the CBs both missing the flight of the ball and not getting into a position to deal with the danger at the back post. Something both Okoli and Nelson need to work on big time. On another note we have conceded goal after goal like yesterdays for a long time now. Last season we were overloaded and the full backs were constantly called out. The same again this season. To not address this is a major failure of the club. I might be in the minority but I don't think the issue is the quality of the full backs either. That said, I'd rather we persist with Luke Thomas than turn to Kristenson. I think Thomas is a better player and you can't fault his fight. He looks like he is trying to hard and then has the weight of Leicester on his shoulders. His header at the other end of the pitch sums his season up. Kristenson can't attack. A lot of our attacks break down when he is involved. Therefore he has to be a fantastic defender in order to play and I don't think he is. His injury record is poor and his refusal to play for Enzo was ridiculous. That said Luke Thomas was shipped out on loan that season too so what do I know!

You are right. But you've missed my point. As I said I'm fed up with talking about football governance and financial rules- I don't understand it well enough to make any reasoned contribution. I don't think anyone else truly does either. I mean where do you go for a reasoned opinion? Who can turn what we are experiencing into an understandable narrative that isn't a lot of conjecture or passionate dribble? The media perhaps? My opinion is our media is simply headline grabbing, sound bite making, viral hopefuls that are enjoying a story at our expense. It's dribble designed to stir emotional responses and is very rarely correct or has substance based on real facts or understanding. The club? Don't get me started on the lack of communication from the club itself. Or the mistakes made with communication. Or the mistakes full stop. The authorities? I think it's fair to say they have very little credibility due to the fact that we were relegated from the Premier League due to a team that had broken the rules. And what about a decision on Man City? Or perhaps they'd like to adapt the wording of rules to prevent hotels being sold (Chelsea) and then pursue them for it. But perhaps they are fair and the above is just passionate nonsense from LCFC eyes. Or on here? All I read on here is pages of baiting to weed out who is King Power in so they can be shouted at until they submit. Every response is turned into the arguement that King Power needs to go. And they probably do. For one reason alone. So we can get back to talking about the actual football. Then you realise that you've wasted another 30 mins of your life on the very subject you are fed up with. And that's my only point. I'm fed up with the debate around this. It's the fourth season in a row. I used to debate tackles and offside calls, whether the ball was over the line and how much of a clot such and such is. Simple things in comparison to this debate.

I hate modern football. Relegation shouldn't become a panic that you'll fail financial rules, potentially go out of business and face administration and lose your youth for next to nothing. The cost is simply far to high. And shouldn't the rules protect clubs from this happening. That said, I don't properly understand it all and I don't think many fans (or 'experts') truly do. Again another thing I hate about the modern game. And finally, I'm fed up with talking about PSR and finances. I want to talk about the actual football (even tho we are rubbish at that too at the moment). I'm getting less and less interested in football as a result.

A theory I'd love to be true... We have appointed. We are just waiting for some form of contract obligation to run out. Hence why King repeatedly says he doesn't want the job. Another theory (and probably closer to the truth)... We can't appoint due to PSR until a certain date when all the monies align. I imagine we are saving a bit on wages. Or we are just incompetent. Or no one wants the job. It all seems very quiet now the initial newspaper noise has gone.

What he did do was install a strong professional culture while still allowing players to enjoy the experience of playing for England. Something England managers before failed at. I like the sound of that at Leicester. I think it's what we need at the moment. I think he is a leader. I also think he'd be great with our Youth which is our future. And as you've pointed out, Southgate might not get an opportunity in the Premier League based on fans feeling towards him.

Or are we just painfully slow?

Skipp is a bit like Wellens... I was surprised to see Skipp is only 25. I thought he was much older. I guess he has the potential to keep improving and learn to dominate the middle of the pitch with age and experience. In a losing team he isn't particularly likeable due to his playing style. Then you consider he came in at a bad time and played poorly. Fan's feelings for him isn't going to change over night, even with the better form he has shown more recently. That's before you consider his price tag and what the expectation is for a player purchased for that much. He is an easy target for us. He can't change any of that. Unless he suddenly becomes much, much better. That said I do think he makes players around him better tho. They just aren't performing either.

I'd like to see us have a go at Enzo's system and bin the 10. 3 2 4 1 in attack with the full back joining the sitting midfielder reverting to 4 5 1 in defence. We've the squad to do it.

Aribo adds height and strength. As much as I love watching Page he has been done at set pieces that have cost us a goal. We've lacked height and strength for far to long across the squad. Something the new manager will need to address in the summer.

Happy with that. He has made changes but not too many. I can see the starting line up gradually changing as the new players get to grips with their team mates etc. I don't think anyone can be sure of our best 11 at present. In King I trust
