Yeah well Cooper took a shambles of a team from bottom and got them promoted and the. Kept them up. Think they are quite senior.

I hope he spoke to him post relegation, he was our manager... so you would assume it's another manager previous to Maresca.

Somewhat debatable

So did Cooper.

Whilst his time here was shit, attempting to underplay what he did to get them promoted and then making out that their ludicrous scattergun transfer plan (which was totally ridiculed on here, and they were expected to go down) was a really good thing is a bit laughable.

Very apparently… our position and no points deduction means we are a different proposition.

You’d hope the reason is simple, the decision was made already and we’ve been working on something in the background. But this is Leicester…

Always say 10-12 games is a good indication of where things are going. Fair play to the club for at least trying to give him a chance, but also not letting it drag on and being fairly proactive. It’s never easy to make these decisions and to strike a balance, but I think they have done here.

"That's a blow, especially for him" The first part is about the club, and the second part is about the player. He didn't just say "that's a blow for him", there are clearly two parts to the quote.

Of course he’s trying to use it for his own aims. The point is, how many rich people buy a media outlet and then send jt into such a massive decline in terms of quality, audience and finance. If the end goal of buying it is to solely influence the election (something he had zero guarantee of), it would have made far more sense to not light it on fire, he could have tried to keep the audience and growth it already had and was getting. (Not sure he would he have spent so long crying about advertisers, if money wasn’t a question at all either). The notion that trouncing its value was somehow part of the grand plan is a tad far fetched. Not forgetting he spent an age and made numerous attempts to back out of the purchase, in the end he didn’t even actually want it but he couldn’t get out of it.

Is this based on him sacking loads of people at Twitter and it still functioning? Their revenue has dropped nearly $2 Billion in that time, the value has dropped to 25% of what he bought it for. Letting something turn into the Wild West by losing 80% of your staff and losing all your investors lots of money isn't a great look.

Company "denies being involved"... despite actively courting publicity by tipping off reporters previously and pretending to be a UFO.

It will be a tax on all, indirectly, as all the prices will just go up. Those saying in those links that there is "no capacity to pass the costs onto customers" have all consistently put their prices up year after year.

I'd struggle to get it down to 4, I can barely get it down to 5 as so many should get a mention. Walsh - Not everyone's cup of tea, but the adversity he went through with injuries, converting to a forward and the part he played in SO many key points in our history is incredible. It only really hit home watching back some old DVD's of the little and O'Neil years really. Almost every single key moment he was there with a pass, a header or a goal. O'Neil - Transformed us and we didn't think it would be bettered. Pearson / Ranieri? - Pearson put the building blocks in place that set the club up for the best period in it's history. Without him, the Vardy's, Kantes, Morgans etc wouldn't have been here. Ranieri got it over the line, I'm not sure anyone else could have done what he did. His ability to act the clown and take the pressure off and move the discussion on to something he said played a huge part, let alone his tweaks to the system. It's really difficult to split them and choose one. I sort of edge towards Pearson because he won two leagues and set up a third with the legacy of his setup. Ranieri would have dismantled it all in time. Vardy - A modern day Walsh in being constantly involved, but also setting the tone and being generally world class. Vichai - Doesn't need stating.

Loved The Penguin, Colin Farrel is incredible and I will rarely pick out performances and praise them.

Without even knowing he'd said that, he is without question from the current options who have experience. Up there with Dave for making me drop off in front of the TV because of how he talks

It's called advertising, I get people don't like the decison but moaning about us not reading the room is rather pointless. The contracts they have with us are almost 100% going to include a base number of indidivual specs, like website positioning, number of articles, number of times shown on boards at the ground, number of individual adverts on social media, players interacting with brand x times and so on. It's not about not reading the room, the moment we took the money we're contractually obliged to advertise them on all our channels.

Last time he had lots of people around him attempting to quell the most bat shit stuff... this time those people aren't there, so we'll see.

No and probably. America doesn't control the shut down of factories and plants around the world during covid, the slump in demand, and then the rampant demand after. That's what started the inflation ramp up before Ukraine even happened. I'd imagine Putin is gleeful at the prospect of Trump pulling out all support and just steam rolling Ukraine. Trump won't stop him, unless Putin wants to make it look like he has.

I think you are perhaps missing the point, Donald Trump was not solely to thank for the lower prices before the inflation skyrocket, just as Biden isn't solely to blame for high inflation. Now, of course you can prefer what one persons plan in this election is of how to go about correcting it. That’s a perfectly legitimate reason to go and vote a certain way. But as per Owen’s tweet, and what I said earlier. Believing the rhetoric that It would have been barely any different under Trump seriously misses the fact it was a global issue, that left nobody unscathed. Prices would have gone up if Trump won a second term and Biden lost, world problems aren’t just going to swerve Donald Trump. Trump = No Inflation, Harris/Biden = Inflation is an overly simplistic point of view that I’ve seen many people make, a different one I believe to the point you make that you prefer his plan for it right now. Raising and lowering interest rates are a huge part of inflation control and just like this country, it’s out of the presidents hands and the prime ministers hands and is set by the FED and the Bank of England.

Correct.

No your are right I’m sure, inflation running rampant in every economy in the world wasn’t linked at all to global conditions and just happened to be down to every country having someone in charge who messed up and just couldn’t handle inflation. What are the chances hey…

Because when you scratch the surface quite a chunk are stupid (as they are here). I’ve seen inflation brought up so many times, when in reality it wasn’t Biden’s doing, they equate Trump with cheaper fuel and groceries, when it had little to do with either of them personally and was mostly down to market conditions everywhere in the world.

I liken it to the club deciding to stick with Rodgers. Everyone could see the warning signs, but they hoped they'd bumble through and do just enough...

As opposed to the right wing who took it all so graciously last time out.
