Has anyone that bought an adult membrship received their £5 ticketing voucher yet? If so, how did you receive it? I did email the club but haven't received a response.

The confidence of the Man City owner in his most recent statement makes me wonder what they’re planning. Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s overturned yet. I have no doubt Man City are guilty, but money and geopolitics are at play and let’s face it they usually come out on top.

Most fans would feel relaxed at 4-1. Not us though, not us.

Yeah you make a fair point actually. Daka and Soumare I’d definitely have as worse signings and both for around the same sort of fee.

Agreed, but that’s why I qualified it with pound for pound. We’ve made substantially worse signings, even in just the last few years, but *very few for even remotely close to £20m 🤯

You’d hope there’s some sort of loan fee involved to cover his years depreciation on the transfer fee we paid. Otherwise I’d have probably held onto him and hoped for a permanent deal in January. Agree with what others have said, I’ve seen worse players for us but at £20m?? Definitely up there as one of the worst signings pound for pound.

Still a lot to work on and I don’t think I’ll ever be a convert to this style of football. But it’s just so nice to have a team and squad that look like they actually give a damn.

I was hoping Cremonese would stay up so that Vardy would see out his career in Italy with them. Their relegation puts me in the same spot as last summer - really hoping he doesn’t sign for another English (Welsh included) club. It would really hurt and just rub salt into a season from hell.

The signings following the 2016 title win were poor but you can forgive that to an extent. It was a completely unexpected position so it’s understandable that we hadn’t planned for that. For me the realisation came as Rodgers was allowed to get away with everything he did. Then when he was finally let go it was at a point where I’d have made him go down with the sinking ship. It really made me question the owners nous. The Enzo era was a momentary reprieve in the downward spiral. Top has annoyed me for a while. He and his family are very happy to take all the plaudits when there’s a trophy to show off with. Yet we hear nothing when we really need his leadership. I don’t hate him, I think he’s a decent man and there’s far worse owners. But I’m glad the larger fanbase is finally beginning to realise this decline is a result of us rotting from the Top.

Ok so unless he develops at pace in the next couple of years he’s always going to be a back up player. But I can’t really see the issue with this. In the grand scheme of things the contract value will be small and as a home grown player if we do go on to sell it’s 100% profit for PSR purposes. I really don’t get all the negativity. Personally I’d rather watch a team of Luke Thomas’s that give it everything every week than some of the overpaid egos we still have in the squad who couldn’t care less about the club. This is a young local player that was in the starting line up for our first ever FA Cup win a few years ago. I just don’t get the negativity personally.

Commentators not a Leicester fan is he.

A great idea for a thread and I really hope he reads it. He should know how well thought of he is. I’ve only had a few dealings with Jim over the years and only for relatively minor requests / queries. But he’s always helpful and even where he’s not necessarily able to help he is always empathetic. As has been touched on already his customer service is brilliant and if they could replicate Jim’s approach and attitude across the club I’m sure we’d be in a better place as a football club.

I don’t agree with the booing of players and it makes me cringe when I hear it. But that statement is horrific. It must have come from the club. I was at Huddersfield away last week. 1800 of us making some decent noise supporting the lads. Midweek. What did we get in return? Players half arsed, not celebrating goals, and storming straight down the tunnel. Just a reminder as well that they’re being paid tens of thousands of pounds a week to be there, whilst the fans have had to make sacrifices to be there on a Wednesday night. Honestly, I’m shocked given the way the club is being run at the moment that any supporters group would release that.

I’d stick Martin Keown in for Hobbs. Just for the waffle he comes out with on talkSPORT really.

I hope you’re right, but I suspect that if anything it’s the club picking up on the backlash and delaying launch as late as possible, and eventually without a sponsor, to maximise sales and minimise backlash at launch. But it’s more than possible I’ve been worn down to the point of being far too cynical.
