  1. He’s not that type of player. He’s essentially supposed to be a bigger version of Kante. He’s was excellent at ball recovery, and progression up the field for Lille. Not every player on the pitch’s job is to score and provide, you need some to do the dirty work and that’s what theoretically what Soumare does. Unfortunately, he just hasn’t adapted to the pace and style of English football, that’s all. We’ve seen flashes of what he is capable of, he’s powerful, with good technique and good ball recovery abilities. Problem with Soumare is he doesn’t track his runners well enough, he switches off in games and when the games gone he just gives up. On France and Spain he flourishes, the pace of the game suits him much better and he doesn’t need to track back as much. He certainly isn’t rubbish, he’s not a sexy player, he does the dirty stuff and he can playing in Europe fairly well. You’ve got to have tenacity and the willingness to defend on behind if you want to be a success in England in that position.
  2. Makes you sick. If this isn’t enough to make fans turn I really don’t know what is. King power out, as far as ****in way as possible.
  3. It’s very clear what the delay is. It’s PSR, it’s the only reason we’re delaying this.
  4. 6”4 McAteer does it again!
  5. If you finish outside of the top two in the championship, you’re officially dog shit.
  6. Imagine planning to expand your stadium, taking out a loan to do so, and then not doing it because you’re so shit at your job, you can’t……
  7. Because we’re paying Doris £70,000 bags a week so she doesn’t go to Man City.
  8. Maguire has the best handle on the situation. Di Marco is still advising the club, so you’d like to think he wouldn’t be advising them to comply if he wasn’t confident the punishment will be minor if at all……
  9. Nigel was still alive last time I checked.
  10. I don’t disagree, Rodgers clearly lost interest in the project after the FA cup win. His head was elsewhere. I still maintain that he honest believed a “top 6” club would come in for him after that FA cup victory, and it never materialised…. After this there was a notable difference in his demeanour and attitude, it’s when all the bizarre press conferences and interviews started….. so you’re not wrong, what seriously damages his legacy is the post FA cup mardy, he lost all interest, and the board should have recognised this and pulled the trigger, rather than offer him a ludicrous contract that no club in their right mind would have bought him out of. That was the sliding doors moment, we dithered and shot ourselves in the foot. Like I said, when Rodgers was good, we were good, when he lost interest everything fell to pieces.
  11. I actually think it’s pretty shite in all honesty. The northern clubs tend to get it right, ours is like a haven holiday camp kids club sometimes.
  12. ****ing hell, you think Kasabian are heavy? 😂
  13. I think this is a tad harsh. Yes when it went stale it went stale, and there are certainly question marks over his approach to transfers V player profiles. But, it can’t be denied when we were good, we were ****ing good. The best performance I’ve ever seen by a Leicester team, was the dismantling of Aston Villa away a few years ago, it was simply sensational, we rocked up and just toyed with them for 90 minutes. And we did that a lot. Rodgers was bitty towards the end, but how much of that was down to what started to become the makings of a fracture bored room I don’t know……. His ability as a man for man coach is the best we’ve had in my opinion, to compare him to Taylor is really unfair, he delivered us the FA cup….. The destruction of the squad is unfair too, that falls to the board room. They decided to give him more creative licence, but they also dished out these horrendous contracts, they clearly weren’t honest with Brendan in making him think things were better than they were financially. The board are to blame for the destruction of the squad, they carry much more of the can than Rodgers did.
  14. He’s the best manager we’ve ever had. We played some breathtaking football under him. There was a period in his second season where we dismantled all of the top sides…. Like you say, he lost interest in the project when the board did. He openly said he had made loads of arrangements and plans in the summer to move players on and bring players in, and nothing was said, came back after pre season and it was a case of “yea, we can’t sign anyone”…… that’ll be enough to turn anyone away. The only thing I won’t forgive him for, is tossing the project off and ultimately leading to the rot that sent us down. He could have kept that team up if he wanted, but like you say, he’s wasn’t obliged to cover for the boards mess.
  15. We are still a great proposition. Leicester city under Rohl is a very different prospect to Leicester city under Martin. He would just look at Enzo, and think if he gets us up, it’s a ticket to a big job eventually. We want longevity yes, but if Rohl could take us up and keep us up, it will do wonders for his career.
  16. I don’t actually think you’re far off.
  17. No highlights at all for me. Even Vardy’s send off felt off. Whole season has been a complete lowlights.
  18. Rohl might walk out in all fairness….. not like he’s going to get a pay out.
  19. Where’s this is true…. This latest debacle is frankly a farce…. We’ve been cleared once so they change the rules and have another go. Regardless how badly we’re run, let’s not hide unfair processes which this clearly is at the moment.
  20. Ignore any articles. It ultimately comes down to a decision, it was touted we were getting a minimum of 12 points last time, and it never materialised.
  21. Generally they do get it right. As you’ve said we’ve had more hits than misses with managers. It’s only really been Smith, Cooper and RVN that have been mistakes, but it’s no surprise Cooper and RVN coincide with PSR problems, and Dean Smith was up against it from the off. You can understand why they hung onto Rodgers for so long for some extent, but he tossed the towel in pretty much. Hopefully, they get it right again.
  22. There was a report saying Martin wanted a S/W coach in his team.
  23. All good until Chelsea make the inevitable bid.
  24. We need another trip to Thailand in monsoon season. Worked wonders before the last championship campaign.
  25. No, it isn’t. Not like we’re losing money hand over fist.
