How does this team do in the Championship?
BenTheFox replied to hejammy's topic in Leicester City Forum
Leeds are currently on course do break 100 points. It's not a strong league. Provided that we down have a points deduction, us, Southampton and Ipswich will be clear favourites to go up. -
He certainly hasn't been helped by the club. I don't believe that he took the job under the impression that they would only sign a right back for £3 million in January.

We're already blaming the players. We know they're rubbish. It is ultimately the board's fault as to why we have these players and manager. That's why they should be taking the most heat.

How does this team do in the Championship?
BenTheFox replied to hejammy's topic in Leicester City Forum
Deluded is strong . I think back-to-back relegation is possible, but not probable. The squad that we will be left with at the start of next season will be comfortably better than much of the championship and we have players currently on loan in the championship that have shown that they're good enough for that level. Sheffield United had a squad of like 14 players before this season's transfer window and were given a point deduction and they look like they're probably going to come straight back up. I wouldn't be surprised if we were to finish outside of the play-off places, even if we have a squad that should be doing better. I'll concede that. -
Putting Your £ Where Your Mouth Is
BenTheFox replied to The Year Of The Fox's topic in Leicester City Forum
I've long been of the opinion that banners and chants are a far better way of expressing your disgust than empty seats, as I believe that just looks apathetic and they've already got your money if you'rea STH. However, I'm starting to question that now. When fans are showing their displeasure through banners and chants inside the ground, it's not taking off and they are being met with dogs abuse. -

People are catastrophising this too much. I get it, we're terrible, but that team should still comfortably finish in the top 6 in the championship. I wouldn't bet on us finishing top 2 with it. I think Southampton and Ipswich are better equipped for the championship than us. -
I get the sense particularly with him and Wout Faes that they think they're above this when they're both dogshit. Is there a worse combination than shit and arrogance?

Jordan Ayew Signs 2 year deal - Official
BenTheFox replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
He makes Jeffrey Schlupp look elegant. Schlupp of a few years ago walks into this team by the way. Dare I say it, he'd probably get a game for us now. -

Honestly, I despise that stuff. It's just so small time. If an Everton fan tried doing that at Goodison Park during a battering, they'd be told very quickly where they can stick it.

Ruud van Nistelrooy - New Manager - Official
BenTheFox replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
The statement you have highlighted is factually correct. This squad has over 1000 combined premier league appearances in it as well as many international caps. However, you are also correct to point out that this squad is absolutely horrendous. -
Two seasons ago hurt a lot more. Despite sone glaring problems that squad should have done better than it did. This lot are just generally hopeless.

Even had people shouting "but we were in league 1" tonight. That really pisses me off. Yeah, we shouldn't have been there either. Don't act like league one is like our natural habitat. We've spent one season at that level in our entire 140 year+ history. It shouldn't be used as a comparison. It was also used partly a dig at people around me who were probably too young to have gone at that time. Those people can't help that they were born when they were born. Your opinion carries no more weight because you were born several years earlier. For the record, I was 14 when we were in league one and I was there.
-
In some respects this is worse than the mid 2000s. It was hopeless then, but we knew where we stood. This is is probably the least competitive I've seen us in relation to the league that we're playing in.

Season Ticket / Membership renewals for 25/26
BenTheFox replied to skinnydipper's topic in Leicester City Forum
Force of habit. I don't feel like I could just walk away from it. Also, there's a group of people that I go to Leicester with that I otherwise wouldn't see. -
Season Ticket / Membership renewals for 25/26
BenTheFox replied to skinnydipper's topic in Leicester City Forum
I will be renewing just like I am continuing to go to all the games now. Am I enjoying it? Absolutely not. I'm going out of habit. I'm just there physically, but I'm not there mentally. -
Championship 2024/2025 Season Thread

I've come to the conclusion that we're never playing Sheffield Utd ever again. Shame really, one of the best away days in the country. -

I couldn't give a shit at whether we are good to watch or not. In fact, it's always been results first for me. -

BenTheFox replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
Why would Steve Cooper put people off Sean Dyche? Dyche has a track record over several years of keeping teams in this league in difficult circumstances. My biggest reservation with appointing Dyche is that I don't think we really have a Dyche team. -
There were a good few hundred people marching to the ground together yesterday who are clearly unhappy. Obviously there are nearly 30,000 Leicester fans in the ground, so that number clearly represents a minority, but there will be many that ate unhappy with the way the club is being run but won't protest, whether it be out of self-consciousness, don't think it will make a difference or simply couldn't. What is rather telling is that there doesn't seem to be any vocal support for the ownership countering the disgruntled voices.

Championship 2024/2025 Season Thread
BenTheFox replied to Happy Fox's topic in General Football and Sport
I had a lot of sympathy with Eustace when he got the boot at Birmingham, but I can't help think that he is a complete idiot for taking this Derby job. No sympathy if they go down under him. -
Almost certain they won't be.

Championship 2024/2025 Season Thread
BenTheFox replied to Happy Fox's topic in General Football and Sport
In terms of fanbase, you're right, but hiw else? Blackburn have won more trophies including two of those being within the last 30 years and have been in the top flight more recently. -
Losing to this lot is more humiliating than the Everton defeat last week. Not even joking. These are THAT bad.
