Golden Fox

Potter's most impressive achievements were at Östersund... he took as side from the 4th division to finishing 5th in the top division, winning the cup, getting into the Europa group stages and beating Arsenal away along the line. I get that it wasn't in English football and the club was well backed, but that is fairytale stuff.

How is Peter Taylor not on that list? Getting a side that had finished in the top 10 4 years in a row relegated, losing 4-0 at half time at home to a newly promoted side on the first game of the season, going out the FA Cup to a third tier side when we could have had our first semi-final for about 20 years and I haven't even mentioned Junior Lewis... Dave Bassett didn't do that bad of a job and was a bit unlucky at times so is a bit unfortunate to be on that list... but Peter Taylor managed to make the team look inept. Reading through that has left me thoroughly depressed at the thought of what might be round the corner.

Different sport, but I'm sat here watching the baseball: New York Yankees at San Francisco Giants. One of the Yankees star players is Aaron Judge. He grew up a massive Giants fan, and a couple of years ago was a free agent and it came down to the wire as to whether he was going to re-sign with the Yankees or come to his hometown club, but he went with the Yankees. (after earlier media reports the other way) This series is his first visit as a player, so a big deal and a lot of talk about that decision. He has come out and talked about his love of the Giants. He is a fan, but as a baseball player has chosen the best career path for himself. It myst be a really tough decision, but as much as we don't want to hear it, loyalty really is a fan thing. It is not a sensible emotion for a career decision. 99.9% of us would do what Enzo did, and I'm not sure it has ever been different.

Just disgusting. FBS are a gambling company dressed up as share trading. Giving their staff, who help take away people's livelihoods this platform to compare themselves to kid's heroes is classless from the club.

Well I'm going stick my neck out and say that I'm really gutted. I wanted our club to have an identity, to be looking to play football the way the top clubs do and to embed that style through the club. Our place in the pecking order has been made clear over the last 4-5 years: we need to develop players and sell them on for a profit, and we need a conveyor belt to keep replacing them. With Seagrave, we have the ideal setup to bring players through and develop them, and we want those players to be coming through ready to slot into a modern system. Getting relegated was the wake up call we needed for a fresh start. We needed a manager to come in at that point lives and breathes the club, buys into the project and will grow with us, getting young players in the system and through the team. Stage 1 was getting that style into the club, signing some players to play that way and getting promoted. Stage 2 was surviving a year with points deductions. Stage 3 was kicking on. I thought we had the right manager who had bought into our project - had ticked off stage 1, and I was excited for where the journey was going to take us. This was a pivotal year coming up, and the displays from this year against Bournemouth and Southampton gave me good reason to be optimistic. He is not immune from criticism, but it was his first full year in management, so his journey was a good fit with our journey as a club. (I'm not even sure I blame him for going. The chance to manage one of Europe's top biggest richest clubs is the pinnacle of the job: with a nice pay rise and a pay-off when it goes wrong, and (somehow) no threat of points deduction.) But I'm gutted he's gone and that we need to start over with another new manager and work out what players we now need to fit his system. At least it is not mid-season. I'm not going to change anyone's opinion as the usual anti-whoever our manager opinion is coming through so strong, but just wanted someone to stick up for what we was doing here.

Give it a rest, mate. You've made your feelings about Maresca clear plenty of times. Maybe we were top of the league with a phenomenal record, so the Leicester fans shouldn't have been on his back and he had a right to be arsey. Just because other fans don't agree with your view, no need to criticise them for a different opinion!

Today's possibilities have got me thinking about the last few times we had our managers poached. After the run of Brian Little (Villa), Mark McGhee (Wolves) and MON (Celtic) we've only had 1 manager in the last 24 years poached, which was Gary Megson! By Bolton! Considering the successes in that time, it's pretty remarkable - and we haven't lost a manager to one of the big English clubs in my lifetime. I'd pretty much forgotten that it might happen to us again. I remember going down to Oxford and back the day that Little was probably going and listening out for updates on the radio all day as to any news... So not sure I'll enjoy the same thing in these days of social media!

Would love it it we entered a team - but it would have to be either England, Scotland, N Ireland or Wales to represent GB. It would get around any national FAs concerns around independence, and what a great qualifying tournament between the 4 teams that would be!

Did you do a page with the bus parade? It will certainly get attention if you call it Rock, paper, scissors - f*** off

"Rudkin's Time To Shine"

Definitely be ordering some as presents even if I don't win, and a couple of my suggestions ended up in there! Maybe I should get one for my office... we have a few Cambridge United fans, so I still regularly get the chance to gloat about that game 23 years on!

Love the black... in mourning for no trophies since 2011-12... with Harry Kane literally the poster boy!

No idea - I hate collars that don't go all the way round, there is something seriously misaligned with those stripes (at the collar and different sleeve lengths) and it is a monochrome badge, so a lot of it does feel off. But I'm sure our club would work with Adidas to sort out little details, as they do seem to take such pride in the kits.

Whoop whoop!!! Dreadful season, but the tank job worked & the Sharks win the lottery and get the first pick. Time for Celbrini to come home. What a joke sport becomes when the biggest moment of the season is nothing to do with what happens in the game, but what ball comes out of a lottery machine - but it wasn't rigged for the Blackhawks after all, so I'm not complaining!!

And to think Adidas had this in their locker... To: LCFC - this in blue with white pinstripes, green with yellow pinstripes and white with blue pinstripes. Done.

I nearly replied to the previous one, but I've been sulking with the Giants poor start to the year after what seemed to be a promising off-season. That list... Dodgers should be higher if it wasn't for Ohtani's salary fiddle. A's should be higher full stop. And staying in Oakland. Unbalanced payroll is one thing, but both those situations leave a bad taste in the mouth.

Does Dennis Wise punching a player in the face count?

A lot of the stuff the owners have done is distasteful to me... Stripping all the murals of the old players down and now, outside, we just have pictures of a previous owner. We achieved one of the best stories in football history (I typed in football underdog in google & it came back with football underdog stories and a picture of us lifting the Premier League) and yet no statues of any players, but we do have a statue of a previous owner. The vanity tours to Thailand, the parading with trophies, the hangers ons etc. The mismanagement of the club's finances over the last 3-4 years. But it is their club. They bought it. They can do what they like with it (within reason). Its not for me to tell them how to spend their money. I can grumble about it, but any anger, outrage or sense on entitlement is a waste of emotion. It might not be "my club" anymore. But it never was - think back to the days of plane banners asking the owners to leave. I was just a supporter then, and I still am now, so I'm going to stick to that! Up the City!

Suddenly, the flame effect on the 3rd shirt makes sense... Represents global warming and the earth burning around us.

Home - yawn. But prefer it to all the silly gold lines on this years shirt. Might look nice and simple. Away - can't really complain about a neat white kit. Is it black or navy trim? Needs to be blue to feel like a Leicester shirt. Third. One for the kids. I guess I'll be happy with having stocked up on this years sash kit, but choosing this over a green pinstripe or maroon or yellow or something "Leicestery" verges on insulting the fan base. Oh - and FBS can f**k off. Bad company. Bad logo. Bad memories. We don't want them.

So looking at the parade info, the players will be lifting the trophy overlooking the clock tower. They haven't specified, but I presume that means no presentation on Saturday before or after the game? Even though they have won the thing and the season will have ended? I don't know how many people will be able to cram in and get a good view of them lifting it, but imagine it will be a lot less than the 30k at the stadium. Looks like Burnley lifted it on the pitch last year, so this must be a club decision rather than an EFL one?

Something memorable in a good way please. I bought the first Adidas home kit as a "I've been waiting years for Adidas" purchase. Since then, the gold trim with checkerboard, the camo effect and the silly collar one are the only home kits I can actually remember - and none in a good way! The rest being "meh", and despite being into my kits, I've couldn't pick any out of a line-up and have not been remotely interested in buying any home shirts since.

Amateurs. There is only 1 among us who has the right shirt in their avatar!

How does that work. We started out in the 2nd tier, so after tonight, we must have 1 more promotion than relegation. (Unless we've got a points deduction big enough to already relegate us next season??? )

Never slag off the police - they always solve the case in the end!
