    Best Loanee we’ve ever had

    in Leicester City Forum

    Posted · Edited by SouthStandUpperTier

    Not the best ever loan but I remember Paul Kerr in 1993/94. Loan swap from Port Vale with David Lowe going the other way. Scored a couple of crucial goals in wins over Portsmouth and Sunderland in the run-in to help us make the playoffs.

    Time for everyone's favourite catchphrase: lazy journalism.

    You can almost hear the cogs moving in the journalist's head. Who played for Marti in the not too distant past and is probably available? Forgetting that it was actually Marti who phased him out of the side at QPR.

    Let's have a films thread.

    I think I can say, unequivocally one of the worst films I've ever seen. I mean, just the entire story concept, it's something a 6 year old would come up with and yet this is quite clearly a film for adults.

    It's clearly a very kitsch and clumsy reworking of elements of Ovid's narrative poem Metamorphoses, in which Pygmalion falls in love with his own sculpture, which he named Galatea, and then married after his wish that she be brought to life was granted by Aphrodite. It's silly, but then 80s movies were mostly silly.

    Passmoor wants to stabilise Leicester as legacy

    Zoe McGrady
    BBC Radio Leicester

    Leicester City manager Rick Passmoor says his aim was to "stabilise" the club in his first few months in charge and hopes to leave a legacy for others to follow.

     

    Passmoor was named interim manager in early September before being awarded a three-year contract in October - and he already has big plans for the future.

     

    During his time in charge, Leicester have won two and drawn three of their 11 matches in the Women's Super League.

     

    "It's been a fluctuation of fortunes over the past three or four seasons with managers and players," Passmoor told BBC Radio Leicester’s 'When You’re Smiling podcast.'

     

    "It was just stabilising things in that period. We are still continuing to do that. Everybody behind the scenes just has the blue shirt at heart.

     

    "People only see the tip of the iceberg - the 90 minutes on a Sunday - but the hours are intense. You've got to ensure that every member of staff feels part of what we're trying to achieve. It's been a terrific first few months.

     

    "We've got to ensure that we stabilise ourselves before we try to get further up the league. Our aim is that when we pass the baton on, we can leave a legacy. We want to ensure it's in a better place than ever before."

    'We want to produce our own talent'

    Former manager Amandine Miquel was sacked shortly before the start of the season and a number of key players had left the club.

     

    It means there is work to do in the January transfer window and Passmoor hopes to bring in a handful of experienced players to bolster the squad.

     

    "We are aware that many of the big-hitting clubs are looking at changing. We've got to be aware of moving parts from all over the globe," he added.

     

    "We've got to know exactly what we want and who we want. At the moment it's not adding vast numbers, but players that can add to the squad with their personality, experience, knowledge and leadership skills off the pitch.

     

    "A lot of players have grown with us from the lower tiers and they've not been in the WSL playing many games. We are hoping to be active."

     

    While January's business will be crucial, the club also hope to produce their own talent in the future.

     

    Passmoor's experience working at Leeds United's boys' academy and a track record of developing youth talent, could be crucial for Leicester.

     

    At Leeds, Passmoor worked with a number of star players in the men's game including Fabian Delph, Danny Rose and Kalvin Phillips.

     

    He helped kickstart the women and girls programme which developed former England internationals Steph Houghton, Ellen White and Rachel Daly.

     

    "It's very special if you think about the women's game and how it's progressed in terms of what we've got now and the youth system," added Passmoor.

     

    "We want to produce our own talent because it adds something extra to the squad and the meaning of being in the Leicester City dressing room.

     

    "It inspires the next generation and the fanbase when they know they're coming to the King Power to watch homegrown talent. There is massive pride.

     

    "There's no point in Leicester City being in the WSL and having a [youth] programme if you're not going to produce players."

    Woman's shock as goose smashes through front door

     

    A woman said she was left "terrified" after a goose crashed through her front door as she watched television.

     

    Lynne Sewell said she initially thought a loud bang was someone trying to kick the door in - before she went to have a gander and found the bird wedged in the door at her home in Countesthorpe, Leicestershire, on Wednesday.

     

    "I was scared by the loud bang to start with, and it was enormous," she said.

    Can anyone post what he actually said?

    https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/what-marti-cifuentes-was-told-bilal-el-khannouss-when-he-arrived-leicester-city/

     

    “The new coach has arrived at Leicester. We had resumed for two weeks. He wanted to explain his project to me but I was clear from the beginning with the club and the coach."

     

    "I didn't see myself staying in the Championship, I aim much higher than that while respecting the Championship. I wanted to play in the Premier League, in the Bundesliga, at the highest level. Play European Cups as a young man of my age wants. I said I wanted to leave."

     

    "They told me that if everything fell into place with the deal, they would make it happen. In the end, towards the end of the transfer window, they must have had a bit more hope that I would stay. That was out of the question for me, and I told them so. I really couldn't see myself staying another year at Leicester."
