Looking at the captain's he's selected so far I'd say he's trying to test some of the senior players to get a feel for whether they are committed to the cause. I suspect in one-to-one discussions they've indicated they are happy to stay and give their all, but maybe feedback internally has been less positive/inconclusive. The only way you truly find out someone's character is to see how they respond when they have to take responsibility for a situation. Looking at the 1st half team last night, Faes and Choudhary were the most senior players, so they become the obvious choices, and if I were Martin I'd be wanting to test them ahead of the season to suss them out rather than get into competitive games and experiment when there are points at stake. Not a fan of Faes at all, in fact from a footballing perspective I think he's useless. That said, he should be capable of playing relatively well at this level. As crap as he is, I can't imagine any player plays as many games as he has for Belgium and struggles in League 1. I might be proven wrong, and it genuinely wouldn't surprise me, but gut instinct tells me he'll at least be OK this season if he has to stay (not that I want him to).

Why are they selling it on a market stall in the City Centre but not the club shop?!? Considering we need every penny we can lay our hands on we really aren't very good at maximising our revenue.

Will probably buy it as its an upgrade of some of our recent kits, but both the gold and the patterned background do spoil this shirt a bit for me. White stripes and no pattern, and this would have been immense.

I appreciate they're only friendlies but surprised there's no Radio Leicester coverage. Surely the club aren't that desperate to drive people to their own streams 🤯.

No Winks, Vesty, Victor in the squads. Hopefully an indicator that their future's lie away from the club.

What time does the stream start on YouTube?

No idea how you navigate to it in the app as I can't find a link. From what I can see, if you click on the link to the video of 'Catching Up With Young Foxes' it shows as 'Pre-Season: Week One Recap' in the upcoming videos section below the main video.

No way he plays 50% of their games. He'll play 5, they'll realise he's crap then bench him for the rest of the season. Why can't we insist on obligation clauses. Everyone sees to manage it with us. [Note: Maybe I've answered my own question there]

Just been watching the recap of the 1st week of pre-season and I'll give him his dues, looks like Russ is putting them through their paces. I've been really critical of the teams fitness for a long while, but seeing the work they are putting in currently is giving me a lot of confidence that for once we won't be blowing out of our arses after 60 minutes. In fact, I'd say we may well end up being one of the fittest sides in the league.

What's the odds on this becoming free to STHs in a few days after a bit of backlash given no reduction in ST prices? The sceptic in me thinks this is a ploy to put a value on a service that every other season has been free, and suddenly make it appear to be a 'value add' for STHs spinning it into a positive. After all, we have people who think the clubs leadership walk on water because they provide a free stale doughnut once a season. Imagine how amazed these deluded souls will be when they are offered free access to pre-season streams worth £20!

Disappointing on many levels. The club really aren't taking the feedback seriously, and just conducting an appeasement exercise. @Foxes_Trust - Were you aware that the meeting was only involving Jim and Anthony? If so, may I please kindly ask why the meeting was not declined by yourselves? I know you are genuinely doing your best and I'm sincerely thankful for the time, dedication, and effort you invest in trying to improve the situation, but quite frankly your time is way more valuable than having the club roll out the same individuals time and again who are not in the position to effect change. Jim doesn't have the authority, and despite Anthony's seniority the responsibility for the changes called for, do not sit within the scope of his role. Whilst I appreciate that you are trying to build bridges, I'd strongly encourage you be more assertive, as the perception at the moment is one that seems to favour a softly softly approach which is not too dissimilar to the organisation that went before. That's a shame, as unlike your predecessors you are clearly trying, however the one area I'd suggest requires development is having a ruthless operator amongst the ranks who isn't afraid to put noses out of joint and dictate the terms upon which you wish to engage with the club. After all, no meaningful relationship is ever built on a single party dictating the terms. Apologies, I'm not trying to be overly critical, but just feel at the moment all your efforts (which are great by the way) are not being truly considered by the club, and they seem to hide behind excuses as to why your suggestions either aren't feasible or require further consultation with other stakeholders before they can be acted on.

Would like to see that foul again in the build up to the 3rd. If that had been the other way round, they'd be scrutinising that for 10 minutes.

Been wanting a long sleeved version since the Puma days. One finally arrives and they put a massive gap between the stripes for some crappy sponsor that if your purchase it without makes the top look very odd 😒. Will have to get the short sleeved, but gutted they haven't thought about this. Edit: Just noticed the sleeves on the long sleeved version aren't even continuous and are just stitched on externsions 😂. Who the f*ck thought, 'yeah, that looks good'?

Let's save everyone time and effort and highlight that it's a false story. Welcome to the internet and the world of misinformation.

Fascinating, thank you for sharing.
