Worse than that. Since Brighton (H) we've scored 4 in 13 games. 4 goals in a third of a season.

A Leicester City FC Goal is now officially rarer than Rocking Horse Shit

Simply put, We are SHIT and so is the Manager!

Mr Ian Sharp at Ivanhoe? He was still there as a PE teacher when I was there in 97-2000! Was he a northerner IIRC?

 

Bob Ellison at AGS was/is my grandad. Was big mates with Mr Quigley

 

Yep remember Quigley, Sharp was also a northerner, great too see a fellow Foxes fan from the Zouch shame we are in a state at the minute

Does the surname Ellison ring any bells as a school teacher? 

It does, but not a teacher I had though, looking back had some great times, Derby and Leicester rivalry was always good, Mr Blackburn and Mr Sharp ran the School Footy team

My main rivals growing up, going to school in Ashby. They’ve become somewhat irrelevant though over the last few years. Was the last time we played them in the FA Cup on a Friday night in Feb ‘17?

Which school in Ashby de la Zouch?

Just been given two free tickets in the Chelsea end. Wasn't able to gratefully decline for fear of being rude. What a dreadful day out this will be 

 

I'd have flat out lied about being too busy to go... I dread to think what levels I'd sink too in order to avoid going.

you kind of have to accept the PSR breach and just sell for a pittance regardless of book value, and rather than nickel and diming over pure profit, as we've done with Iversen and McAteer in recent years

But you can't force someone on 50 k a week to go to another club who will pay them 20k a week, they're contracted so you can't just get rid, we would all like too but we can't and it would be eye watering money to pay them off, which is why we will see the likes of Vesty here for another 2 years adding Zero value to the team same as Daka, Ward et al

I think at this point, you have to ask if it's the managers at all when the only manager to get a tune out of this squad was in the division below, and even then they still took a couple of months just dossing around. We've got the most unprofessional squad going, who just down tools every time a manager tries to actually manage them, and go crying to Aiyawatt about how they're expected to work for their pay cheque.

 

RvN is clearly not good enough as a tactician but at this point, you might as well keep him and clear the decks fully in the summer, strip the squad to it's bare bones and fully reset the attitude in the club.

How? All the dross are on big wages, with time left on their contracts, how you going to move them on?

We're five points adrift. Of a team who have scored more and conceded less than us to boot. 

 

If you don't think that's much, we need nearly a point every other game more than Wolves when we haven't even scored a goal in 400 minutes.

 

We're 15 points adrift of 16th. Everton and West Ham could almost certainly both lose all their remaining games 10-0 and stay up. 

 

We're in a knife fight for one surviving position and our players have no confidence left and almost none of them have any fighting spirit, we know this because plenty of them were here two years ago when we limped out of the same league in the same way. 

 

There probably is a manager in the world somewhere who could fix it but not one who is available, willing and on the radar of our club's football intelligence. 

 

It's done, mate. You'll have happier spring and summer if you just make peace with that now. 

 

Exactly this...

The longer our losing streak, and goal scoring drought goes on, the more hideous I expect our performances to get, (if they can get any worse) we are becoming too comfortable losing, I can't see us winning another match this season.

Backs up what I've heard from someone who works at Seagrave. Players were asked to stay later for additional coaching sessions on set pieces and many refused to because they don't live locally, those exact 3 of Vesty, Coady and Winks were the names mentioned. That might be why set piece coach Andy Hughes has been sidelined.

 

The players are ridiculously pampered by Top, I also heard that he has been regularly chartering a private jet to Paris for Soumare as he is apparently feeling homesick. This is the problem, the owner has no understanding of incentives or the value of money, he just gives them whatever they want.

I bet he is so pleased they are paying him back with results and effort for his kindness.

Far too much player power with this collection of overpaid jokers, I wonder who the ring leaders are, there is always one or two who think they're special, better than they actually are and know better than the manager, then start spreading their discontent when they don't get their own way.

The Seagrave Holiday Hotel and Spa might be a world class facility but  has become a sespit of idleness and luxury for the current team we have, better proffesional players would appreciate it this lot are taking the piss, get rid of them all as soon as possible the club is in a disgraceful state and everyone associated with its running should be ashamed!

That's the thing......sh*t manager sh*t squad but you can't blame him for being sh*t as you can't blame the squad for being sh*t....it is what it is.....the manager or the players more importantly can't miraculously become good. Will changing the manager make the players unsh*t and play like gods.

The blame lies in our sh*t board 

Yes the board are culpable, the players are shit, but the lack of effort or even attempting to earn the eye watering wages from the team / players is totally unacceptable they've given up, and so has RVN, how on earth has he survived this long with the awful performances and results is beyond belief and negligence from the owner.

The "Relegation Review" so TOP Secret a 100 year non-disclosure of content, for Rudkin and Whelans eyes only!!

We are a joke, opposition teams could go on the piss, not train for a week, put out there B team and still win.

HOW LOW DO WE HAVE TO GO, TOP FFS, SORT THIS "SHIT" OUT... 

Watching this team and RVN operate is truly depressing, and painful, this season can't end quickly enough.

Hell yeah his time is up!!

Get. Him. Back. 

Makes you sick with joy watching that, as opposed to sick with sorrow as to what we have become.

How can you possibly criticise him for his performances?! He’s rubbish and has needed replacing for years but that’s not his fault, it’s the clubs. He’s pretty incredible considering he’s 38.  Doesn’t mean he should be in the team but you can’t say he’s coming up ‘well short of the mark’

At present he is neither short or ahead of the mark, he is incredible in that he sets the standard, playing at 38 often for the full 90 and no serious injuries at this level, he is LCFC through and through, but his wage and presence beyond this season is likely a step too far, it's sad he has to be part of what's happening at present with the club.

I have never felt the players are a innocent party, my issue has always been individuals being picked on rather than blaming as a unit.

 

Completely unacceptable behaviour to not give 100% to a Manager's idea.  How that isnt a pay deduction punishment I dont know.

If pay was based on performances, we would never have PSR issues...

Using the last reviews minutes, Change a few dates, delete Rodgers insert Cooper / RVN, keeping everyone in their current roles and positions take into account inflation increase the CEO and DOF wages for a job well done don't tell anyone.

Seconds away round 2 Championship season here we go...
