Reading reports of a player revolt. Hopefully the end is nigh. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/football/steve-cooper-nears-leicester-mutiny-as-player-doubts-have-intensified-report/ar-AA1r7spi

Moyes is dreamland lads. He won’t want to come here. Watched a podcast recently where he admitted he’s been close to going back to Everton several times (4iirc) since leaving them. Everton are more attractive than us at the moment (pains me to say it) especially to someone with a connection. Wouldn’t surprise me if he’s already in talks with them.

The 84 one is the best. Sadly the most recent remake has ruined it and it doesn’t feel authentic, or at least not for me. its a small detail, but I had one of the first retros of it which was a 1:1 copy. The newer one has a stuck/ironed on admiral badge, where as the original and the early retros were embroidered. I only know this because I bought one to replace my battered one, and ended up taking it back. The green one is the same now sadly.

This just highlights that PSR and the currently football structure is a mess. Chelsea have shown it up. Man City have shown it up. That’s all fine because they are the big clubs who are allowed to do what they want - they are encouraged to squeeze through loop holes. We have an OJ Simpson moment and walk free and everyone’s outraged. I would also like to point out that if, like it should bed the football league included the whole pyramid, we wouldn’t have got through the loophole. i find it really bizarre that the premier league and the football league are separate entities. are the clubs in the premier league not playing football anymore? Surely the whole pyramid needs to sit under the same umbrella, or every league needs to be separate. The current set up makes little sense to me. an amalgamation of it all would make much more sense, and would address the issue of finances not filtering down. the premier league should never have been a separate entity as it is part of the English football league system and should be treated as such.

Loved big Sol. He was ahead of his time in a way. Now we see centre backs bringing the ball out of defence, even getting into the opposition box or on the edge of it. We have Faes and had Maguire too. Sol was doing that back then. And yes I know history has centre backs that have done that for a long time, but I feel like we see it a bit more nowadays, though I could be wrong.

Odsonne Edouard joins on loan - Official
dooflip replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
I’ve had a look and it appears that Soumare and edouard were in the French youth teams at the same time. I really wouldn’t be surprised if cooper has seen something in Soumare, but recognises that he has struggled to settle. This could have been a factor in why we have brought in edouard, to not only give us a striker we needed, but also to help Soumare. -

Anyone know if Edouard played in the same team as Soumare in the French youth set up? If so that could be an interesting thing. -
We got VK back from a loan, and then didn’t sell him. That’s 2 Scandinavian signings in rudkins book.
-
Bobbys is who cooper wants on the left. That’s obvious, and the very reason it’s the worst signing of the season. Had Bobby not come in, Mavididi would be starting.
-
Was genuinely gutted when we chose to sign daka over him. He would have suited us much better, though he’s no world beater.
-
The most bizarre transfer business of any premier league club. It’s been widely publicised that they need to shift loads of players, yet they are actively trying to sign more. And they the ones they are trying to sign are no better than the ones they are trying to get rid of.
-
We won’t sign an outspoken homophone. Can absolutely guarantee we won’t do that deal.
-
Double swoop for Hudson odoi would be dreamland!

At least we’ve not got to the point where rudkin is sending the academy lads out on bikes doing drop offs and the women’s first team working on London Road. We can still loosely fit under the umbrella of a “family club” this way. We are going for the “crooked as much, but appearing to be morally sound” look. -
Still awaiting confirmation from Big Bobby Faesen?
-
Without trawling through 5 pages, can anyone tell me if we’ve had official confirmation of the move from Bob Faesen? I refuse to believe a thing until he has spoken.
-
All day long. Rather have benson or hedges and four four fxxking two!

He’s just waiting to finalise the details, the sticking point at the moment is whether hawk tuah is included. Rudkin said he’s got a glowing reference from top and is happy to include it.
