Tougher league then the championship? 

 

Birmingham got out playing possession football.

Birmingham had the luxury of smashing the League One transfer record and had the most expensive ever squad at that level (£25m on transfers and £39m wage bill)

Whereas we'll be hamstrung by finances unless Aiyawatt finds a spare £25m down the back of the sofa, and it's exceedingly unlikely that we'll recruit as well as they did

It's McCarron

Not unless he's gotten plastic surgery and aged 20 years

Who is that he’s with? 

His agent? I've definitely seen his face before just can't put a name to it 😂

"The 40-year-old has earned widespread recognition for his commitment to progressive football"

The HerlihyGPT spin on this is unmatched. Even he was unable to write anything positive about Russell's Rangers stint though 🤣

Carl Hoefkens coming from NAC Breda as the new manager
Breda finished 17/18 in the Eredivisie with only 6 wins, not sure if they had a squad capable of much more but Hoefkens' last two jobs don't seem to have done too well

This is most relevant part of the Fan Reps letter

 

However, progress is frustratingly slow, and we want to reassure you we are continuing to press the club on this. We hope that now changes have been completed at senior level at the club and our new CEO and sporting director are in place, more regular and meaningful

communication about the club’s footballing intentions and direction will be made – while understanding, of course, that this will always need to be done in a way that does not give any advantageous knowledge to our competitors.

We have specifically asked the club to communicate properly with fans about the club’sfootballing direction ahead of the start of the new season and they have committed to keeping us informed about progress with this.

I hope they're right - I just don't have faith in the club heirarchy to keep their promises

I still remember when he went on loan to Burton Albion in 2016, and it was reported he was putting fuch all effort in because "I don't want to play for Burton, I only want to play for Leicester" and the manager had to shake some sense into him

Worth reading the FAB fan reps letter

"The club has listened to our concerns over communications over the last 18 months and has developed a communications strategy that we can see has clearly incorporated feedback from groups across the Fan Engagement Framework, the Foxes Trust survey and the voice of fans generally over the last season or two."

Finally managed it, took what must have been 100 tries

Good news, Karl Robinson just became available. He’s finished fourth and eight in League Two at Salford so he’s potentially an upgrade on our last few duds.

While I'd prefer pretty much anyone to Russell Martin, this would feel almost as bleak.

I'd trust Karl Pilkington for the job tbh

Turkish second tier club Bursapor have announced 7(seven!) kits for next season

Including this one which is blatantly copied homework 😂

The messages detail how:
 

• A junior analyst sent to observe Oxford United train before their December fixture with Southampton sent a message to colleagues saying, "I didn't really have an option and wasn't provided an opportunity to say no. I was an intern and was doing what I was told."
• When he sent details from that session back to his boss, he received a WhatsApp reading, "You legend. Manager loved it."
• Upon being asked to carry out a second spying mission on Ipswich he expressed concern but was told, "the boss is adamant that someone needs to go".
• That upon being caught, another analyst at the club sent a message to his colleague saying: "I said all along I was never happy about it all & it wasn't right but no one listened to me!"

 

 

 

 

 

I'm looking for the document now. Only BBC seem to be reporting it at the moment.

The line about 'everyone pulling together' is hardly a subtle suggestion the fans need to shut up, is it? 

 

This is set against the context: Becky Vardy getting at the fans, Fatuwu getting at the fans, Top getting at the fans.

 

Because he doesn't outright state "this is the fans fault and you can quote me" doesn't mean that it hasn't been the rhetoric coming from thing club for weeks and weeks. 

Reads to me more like he's saying some of the senior players weren't bothered and treated the season as nothing more than getting a wedge for minimal effort

Seriously, why not?

 

He knows the level (albeit not as a manager), the club and its ongoing challenges and a need for stability.

 

It'd be a great opportunity for him.

Just now, Samilktray said:

He was crap as a caretaker, he’s been in the back room staff for a while whilst we’ve been crap and shown nothing. If he got the job he’d last about 2 months if he was lucky. Just a crap suggestion really

And the whole time he was saying at every opportunity that he didn't want the job, he felt he wasn't ready to be a manager and needed more time to develop

Ah yes. That boring mantra from anti City fans. “You’re part of the problem” The club is in a desperate and dire situation and the removal of the owner and Rudkin is paramount to any improvement of the situation. Fans can still love the club they have done for however long or short a time, without supporting King Power. Yes, Top’s name may be over the door, but as far as I’m concerned, Leicester City is MY club and always will be. So stick your mantra and you get a grip.

You're so close to getting the point that DezFox is making

"The club is in a desperate and dire situation and the removal of the owner and Rudkin is paramount to any improvement of the situation"

Yes, that is WHY the club is horrible right now – and it will remain a horrible club until Aiyawatt and Rudkin are gone, competent people replace them and the rotten club culture is reset. None of us are "anti City fans", we're all Leicester City fans otherwise we wouldn't be commenting on this board ffs

Our club is horrible but you can't pin not playing a 15 year old kid in the first team as a creadible reason for backing up that statement, Page Aluko Monga and Thomas have all had a decent minutes this season. 

You can't say "all had decent minutes" when Page was relegated to the bench or not being in the squad in the second half of the season, Monga was perenially overlooked in favour of a Mavididi who stunk the house out and Aluko was barely given a chance despite Ricardo being completely past it and Hamza being useless. How many minutes did e.g. Mirsad Ali play in first team fixtures? Logan Briggs? Otchere and Hutchinson who were scoring for fun in the youth teams?

Nobody is saying a 15 year old needs to start every match, or even be in the squad for every match, but when we have such a talented crop of youngsters who aren't being shown the suitable path to the first team – when said first team players are performing so poorly – then it just makes it harder for us to attract and keep talented youth players.

Reckon we could get Christian Burgess? Union SG in Belgium aren't extending his contract

Tribunal fee system isn't fit for purpose

Ridiculous that the Sky 6 clubs can poach whoever they want and pay a pittance, if they even pay anything at all
