When was the last time the team had a manager that anyone liked? I liked Matt Gillies, Frank O'Farrell, Martin O'Neil and, of course, Claudio. Others also had their moments, but mainly short lived. Pearson had the best win percentage but then, he had to go for non football reasons. So, who is the magician who can compensate for a lack of inventiveness in midfield, a lack of physical stature in defence and a lack of success in front of goal? Clubs with a vast amount of money seem to have the same difficulty tracking down the holy grail.

Anybody who read the rubbish that was posted pre match and during the match on Sunday v Wednesday should automatically know that Winks is a fine player, as are all the other members of the squad. Shut up and support, don't try and be a professional coach, because you will never be one.

It always amazes me that people,(fans) think supporting their football team offers them a cast-iron guarantee of bragging rights . Supporting this wonderful football club is a roller-coaster experience, not plain sailing. Blah, blah, blah.........."Worst Leicester team ever", etc. People, we play the long game. After six decades of loyal support I can honestly say that I will die happy. The football team that I have supported since 1967 has won everything that all the "big" teams have won. The last two decades have been a real rollercoaster, but the they have delivered the two most elusive prizes. I suggest people read their history of this club and reflect on the ups and downs throughout the years. Can you imagine the feeling when you get to the FA Cup Final, lose and then get relegated? To suggest that the current crop of players don't care is a simple illustration of ignorance. The way "supporters" slander our players for, not caring, not having the requisite skill, not fit enough etc. just shows just how little they understand of what it takes to earn money playing football. I have every confidence that, before the end of the season, OUR team will string together three or four wins and stay in the league. If not, nobody dies and we will come again.

Ranieri - OUT! Puel - OUT! Shakespeare - OUT! Rodgers - OUT! Maresca - OUT! Same tune, different words. Pity we can't resurrect Matt Gillies who served us loyally for fifteen seasons before, he too, was OUT! Nothing like watching a blame game unfold.

If you had a bucket list as a City supporter, number one would be "Win the League", number two would be "Win the Cup". I have waited a lifetime but, there we are, bucket list complete. Stress? Going down to div 1 must rate. Even then, fighting back from 2-0 down to Birmingham to 2-1 and the real supporters singing the "Great Escape" tune for what seemed like the whole of the second half rates as the best ever support I have had the honour to experience. Get real, people, the team is the team, whoever owns the club, however much they earn and, unfortunately, our egos count for nothing. Whether they win 1-0 or lose 5-0 you have to keep the faith, otherwise go and "support" Liverpool or Arsenal or PSG or Real Madrid.......................................... Support = Blind Faith, absolutely no conditions.

Didn't "supporters" once sing, "Hamza Choudhury, he's one of our own"?
