I can see the appeal for Potter… - We’ve an owner who wants a possession based style above all else. - Will support a manager way past their sell by date (Brendan). - Probably still offering decent wages. - Job could be seen as a “free hit” due to impending points deductions. - A lot of the foundations are already there for possession based football after last season, and players to suit that style: Mads, Jannick, Winks etc. - And Midlands based for the Solihull lad. What’s Potters record for bringing through youth?? Hopefully he gets the backing financially and from the fans. Gonna need everything for a tough season ahead.

🧙?

Got to get the #7 shirt next season. Pure sauce

I’m actually coming round to the idea of Potter, if he wants the job. And that’s a big if. Think if he wants to get back into club management, having been burnt by a big club already I think we would probably be an interesting project for him. I think a year or more break, and having seen what Enzo has already implemented he would probably look to set us up in a similar fashion. The concern with Potter is his sides have always struggled to score goals. Whether that’s down to the strikers or set up remains to be seen. But would hope that with the likes of Vardy and hopefully we would sign a new striker as well if we can shift Patson we could be an exciting prospect

Left footed RW with 21 goal contributions last season. Probably needs a season in the championship first though…

Ortega?

Fabrizio reported the other day that Enzo was excited to work with Robert Sanchez, who is decent with his feet in fairness. So don’t buy it. If he wants Mads we should be asking for a big fee £30mil +

And will we be pleasantly surprised by this candidate?

Must admit far more excited about a relative unknown like RVN, than a Moyes or Cooper. Van Nistelrooy with Heitinga as his assistant would do for me. Not how it works but hear me out… Both Dutch, both with a similar possession based game plan, one a former forward, the other a former CB. Make it happen Rudkin.

Want whoever the new boss is to be someone with a track record of promoting youth. Nelson, Braybrooke and Alves should be seen as a key part of our future

Both Tosin Aderabioyo and Lloyd Kelly linked with Newcastle on Frees. Two smart pick ups there

Sorry to be really pedantic but… The obligation for Yunus is €10m = ~£8.5m The obligation for Fatawu is €17m = ~£14.5m

Not exactly us… but, after beating United on Monday, Palace are guaranteed to finish on, between 40-49pts for the 11th consecutive season. In that time Leicester have: - Won the Championship 🏆 - Great escape season - Won the Premier League 🏆 - Made the Champions League QF’s - Won the FA Cup 🏆 - Won the Community Shield 🏆 - Made a European Semi Final - Been relegated - Won the Championship (again) 🏆 Know which I’d rather! Never dull being a Leicester fan🎢

For the midfield I’d go Bernabé and Gronbaek. Bernabé could cover either KDH or the Winks role at a push, shouldn’t be too expensive and has worked with Enzo before. Gronbaek again hopefully shouldn’t be too expensive, and on lower wages coming from Scandinavia, and would suit the other 8 position providing a more naturally attacking option. Then if Ndidi leaves, Brownhill on a free. Not the most exciting option, but played in a similar system at Burnley, imagine he’d be on a smaller wedge than Ndidi and has a good engine. Gronbaek - Winks - KDH subs: Brownhill - Hamza - Bernabé (Braybrooke) - (Alves)

Tried to consolidate some of the names that have been mentioned/ or we’ve been linked with before. Although typically imagine our signings will come from completely left field. RB - Hume, Sigur RCB - Van den Berg, Nagalo, Edwards, Adarabioyo, THB LCB - Nathan Zeze, Greaves, Doyle, Burrows RCM - Gronbaek, Brownhill, O’hare, James, Barkley, Hamer, Sensi LCM - McAtee, Sara, Bernabé, O’Riley LW - Nanasi, Johnston, Philogene, Hamilton RW - Hutchinson, Rak-Sakyi, Whittaker ST - Ioannidis, Hzolek

Didn’t see the sliding incident after the game, which knee has KDH supposedly injured? Is it me or has he got a protective boot or something on his right leg at the awards dinner??

Perfect opportunity to give Alves and Braybrooke half an hour in the league. Nelson from the start. And Albrighton (on as Captain) and Cannon, for Vardy and one of the wingers for the last 10/15 mins. Hermansen Nelson - Vestergaard - Justin Ricardo - Winks McAteer - Ndidi - KDH - Mavididi Vardy Stolarczyk / Coady / Faes / Hamza / Braybrooke / Alves / Fatawu / Albrighton / Cannon

Maybe putting McAteer in the shop window… Also wonder if he’s testing possible back 3 for next season… although I certainly hope not!!

Initial thoughts below minimum. Ideally sell Daka and get another striker in as well - Hlozek? Dependent on someone paying his residual value I guess. Imagine incomings are going to be free’s/ loans/ low value id imagine ie. Brownhill or Barkley. Hermansen / Stolarczyk/ Ward Ricardo / Trai Hume? New CB / Nelson Vestergaard / Coady New LB / JJ Winks / Hamza / Braybrooke New RCM / Ndidi KDH / Yunus / Alves Fatawu / New Winger Vardy / Daka / Cannon Mavididi / Wanya Renew - Vesty, Vardy and Wilf. Release - Iheanacho, Albrighton, Praet Buy - x5 players Sell - Faes, Soumaré, Souttar, Kristiansen, Thomas, Iversen

Imagine we will start with the usual 11 for this one to hopefully wrap up the league, and then some rotation for Blackburn. Either way would like to see Alves, Braybrooke, Cannon and Nelson get minutes. Hermansen Faes - Vestergaard - Justin Ricardo - Winks Fatawu - Ndidi - KDH - Mavididi Vardy Stolarczyk / Coady / Nelson / Hamza / Braybrooke / Alves / Albrighton / Yunus / Cannon

Mikey Johnston from WBA also has an agent who we like to do business with. Could be a cost effective alternative to Stephy.

I think in that atmosphere it’s more likely Abdul would get a rush of blood to the head and go flying in similar to the Cov game. Either way think Yunus deserves a chance after his cameo on Saturday.

Guess this is good news for us. Can see us getting similar punishment? 6 points for breach for 3 year period ending 2022/23. And then a further 2 when we inevitably breach for the current period ending 23/24. If that’s the case, in particular the +2 so there’s not double jeopardy, we might as well keep KDH et al. and take the 2 point deduction rather than selling our best players in June to be compliant.

Can’t afford to lose either Ndidi or Pereira. After Millwall the fixtures are spaced relatively more evenly meaning Ricky and Wilf should hopefully able to play all of the remaining games. Vs. Millwall Hermansen Coady - Vestergaard - Justin Hamza - Winks Akgun - Praet - KDH - Mavididi Vardy Vs. Plymouth Hermansen Faes - Vestergaard - Doyle Ricardo - Winks Fatawu - Ndidi - KDH - Mavididi Daka

Mad to think KDH could end up winning the Championship Player of the Season, but not our POTS… For me Ricky has been our best player this season. Adapted to his new role really well, and everything he does oozes class
