Leicester 'could face points deduction next season'
The boy Linacre replied to ClaphamFox's topic in Leicester City Forum
Couple of questions; 1) When will we actually know?? It would be very beneficial to be as soon as......So the club can do something they are really bad at "planning" 2) Are we that much worse than Forest & Everton? ON the PSR front...... 3) Presume we haven't got 115 cases to answer?? So Man City heading down to the National League then? -
Soumaré - Sevilla currently - They have no cash
The boy Linacre replied to Sly's topic in Transfer Talk
WELL we don't ship on any players to the London bank of Leicester, unless they are guaranteed to miss hundreds of games, see Fofana, Drinkwater, Chilwell, even Kante got a bit less reliable when he left. -

Why is he another Leicester player going to Chelsea?? Hope so -
TBF I've just looked at the manager list AND I feel a bit more optimistic. We seem to want Potter but I doubt he'll come here. Moyes would be pragmatic, results based choice, as good a chance as any to keep us up, thats all we need. Then the bolters like Rob Edwards or Mark Robins, don't want Corberan as hasn't managed in the top flight and what has he actually done in the Championship, play off failure. Most importantly can the powers that be made the flipping decision about the level of points deduction if any, that'll have the biggest impact!!!

Not deflated BUT expectations are worryingly low. We're awaiting our points deduction fate which have a massive effect on spirit and vibes in the club this summer AND who we can attract. We have an ownership and club hierarchy that none of us feel very confident in on the football front, after repeated errors the last 3 years, looking for rabbits out of hats here!!! That group is not the most nimble. quick or agile AND we need a new manager AND a bit of a player clearout and 4-6 new players in. We are about to lose our manager and don't know if that will mean a total change of playing style and what effect it will have on what's left of the squad and the new signings. 17th will be a success NOW and that means not a great season because you will lose a lot of games. Not deflated BUT expectations are worryingly low.

Can somebody send me a link or a "how to" as I will be paying the £25 tax and buying a card rather than mobile for next season and can't see how you do it, sorry, sure its on somewhere but can't find it.

Clear & Obvious Underpinning principle And a time limit, maybe 60 secs max & if not accept original decision IT CAN'T Totally slow the game down -

Percy article enzo set to stay, vardy and vesty new deals
The boy Linacre replied to Tuna's topic in Leicester City Forum
I hope we have played real hardball on cost (contract) and max 2 years & this guy is PL squad player NOT starter. Much as he totally turned my view around this season, where he has been very very good repeatedly. VERY good against Bournemouth. Ripped a new one for the 1st Chelsea goal FA Cup -
Foxes Trust Reform - show your support!

Allied to which the single seat match ticket is high in comparison to the cost of a match as one of the 19 or 23, not sure after how many games its better to have a season ticket but is it 2/3's?? That's why I got one. My lad was 12 when he became a STH, he's 20 now and works & lives in London and bleeds Leicester BUT he couldn't justify a 200 mile return for midweek home championship games BUT came to everything else. Last season he went to Huddersfield, Southampton on a Friday night, Norwich on a Wednesday and drove back to London @ midnight for 2am!! QPR, West Brom (in the home end), Birmingham, Ipswich, Stroke, Watford, Leeds, Bristol C, Millwall. If they're wedging out the £300 plus they should have some choice. The club are trying to stop this because demand is greater than supply.

Hmmm Hendo = 81 England Caps, WC Semi final & Euro final Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup & Champions League, FA Cup winner & RU, League Cup x 2, Europa League Runner Up, FWA Player of the Year KDH = Championship medal winner & Community Shield (Hendo has won that too) Maybe he would????

Schar, we can't defend AND won't be able to in the Prem, can get Jonny Evans back too

Booked 2 weeks in Japan in September any intel/advice really greatly appreciated, kids have just gone, so its time to have fun. Places to visit likely a few hours to Tokyo and perhaps how long you should stay there. Went to South Africa for the same last Nov & it was brilliant. Haven't got a car, don't really want to fly internally, so train etc. best mode of transport, but open to suggestions, got to try and get a plan together and book everything up ideally by end of June or most of it. International window of course, so we miss less footy!!!

Favourite moments of the season
The boy Linacre replied to rugbyblue's topic in Leicester City Forum
Know its not a League game but Fatawu's goal at Bournemouth & the performance by a B team there, his goal as same as Vardy's against Liverpool in the title winning season, I was behind it and it was in from the moment he hit it. Winks at QPR BIrmingham A Sitting in the home end at WBA away Monday obviously Stoke A, and Justin's cross for Vardy's goal, pinged in, brilliant -
Might be too good for Cov BUT he isn't good enough for where we play in August onwards AND if we set the bar that low we'll struggle. Lacks a yard of gas too, offer him £20/25k at best and offer him some bonus IF we stay up and and increase to £35k or something season 2.
-
Think this is it in a nutshell. It is ONLY about finishing 17th or higher, 8-9 wins & the same number of draws keeps you up. This is the team OFF the pitch's biggest close season for 10 years, they have to outperform. Understand the financial picture asap (should be working 24hr days NOW), identify who is going and what they want EVERYONE must be an upgrade or squad player if not. And get it down quickly like the Maddison close season, NOT Adrien Silva & Sensi!!! Down to you Rudkin & your team!!!!
-
I think we should put whatever pressure on the club we can over the next month, just for clarity 5th June is the last date you can choose one way or the other? Probably go card, BUT V Unhappy with the £25. The fans give A LOT to the club in so many ways, THE owners & club management are TEMPORARY CUSTODIANS, give something back to fans (like choice where possible) as well as their great generosity to the local community. It won't hurt and OBVIOUSLY it looks, based on the feedback, like it would generate MASSIVE goodwill & support.

The "do they mean us?" thread pt 4
The boy Linacre replied to davieG's topic in Leicester City Forum
You have to say this has all got blown up out of proportion and most importantly as a club and players we should focus on what we have done, not what they haven't YET. I will add one thing, based on Rutter's comments in that interview, if the lino and ref had any level of competency in the away, we would have counted Daka's ONSIDE goal (the one where he received the ball from THEIR defender) and we would have won that game AT LEAST 2-0, all arguments done. -
The "do they mean us?" thread pt 4
The boy Linacre replied to davieG's topic in Leicester City Forum
Sadly we know that's not what the stats say, this is going to sound harsh but Leeds bottled loads then as well (though setting a VERY high standard AND Man City have won more 1965 - 2nd in the League on goal difference, FA Cup finalists 1966 - 2nd in the League, Semi's Fairs Cup 1967 - 4th in the league, FA Cup semi's, Fairs Cup final 1968 - League Cup & Fairs Cup WON, close shaves again in the League & Cup 1969 - Over the Hump, League Champions, 1970 - 2nd in the League, European Cup Semi, FA Cup final 1971 - Fairs Cup won 1972 - FA Cup won 1973 - 3rd in the League, FA Cup losers to 2nd Div Sunderland, ECWC Finalists 1974 - League title So 6 trophies, 2 Leagues, 1 FA Cup, 1 League Cup, 2 Fairs Cup BUT 10 near misses Losing 2 FA CUP finals, 1 Fairs Cup Final, 1 ECWC Final, League 2nd, 2nd, 4th, 2nd, 2nd, 3rd Under Mancini Man City won 1 League & FA Cup, Under Pelegrini a League & 2 League Cups - 6 years 5 trophies Under Pep for 9 years - 13 trophies, 1 World & European Cup, 5 Leagues, 2 FA Cups, 4 League Cups + this season -
bit like a lot of the crowd that day then!!! Plenty on the pitch, none touched the ball.

Absolutely are questions about him & at EFL (Plymouth goal!! & FPL level), stay on your feet son & stop being a show pony & a finger pointer AFTER the event BUT you're absolutely right he deserves his chance. He needs to realise he isn't as good as he thinks he is, though generally very good on the ball.

What Have You Enjoyed Most About This Season?
The boy Linacre replied to StanSP's topic in Leicester City Forum
Leaving the Div NOW!!! the others falling apart at the end more than us. The West Country aways!!! Stoke we were stunning AND we did win on a WET Saturday there, stunning attacking at Birmingham A. I know everybody is saying NO VAR BUT the refs could be as shite as they wanted to be with no comeback, and they were, this Div is FULL of lazy refs, who know there'll be no pushback. Daka's goal at Leeds in point, we'd have won with VAR. Job done
