Death by Football

I think they’ll both stop over tonight and share a lift back in the morning.

Happy with that. First game all season I was excited about in advance and a great result. Lots to work on but the attitude was spot on. Thought BEK had a great game.

Blimey. Thought he was miles off in real time.

What’s the saying about silk purses and sow’s ears. There isn’t really an 11 that looks good on paper right now. what I hope is that they have been given clear instructions on what to do and they understand their roles and have the discipline to stick with it.

Fair play. Nice to see someone with an eye for their fans rather than their shareholders.

And now I think about it, Fergie was a striker!!

I am happy with the appointment and I really hope Ruud will do well for us. But it got me thinking how many top managers used to be strikers (and not necessarily elite strikers before we go down that road again)? Most of the really successful ones have been defenders or midfielders. I wonder if the selfishness needed to be a top striker doesn’t lend itself to management or the fact you’re seeing the game from the top end of the pitch and have less of a rounded view? The only one I can think of that almost fits the bill is Mancini but he was more attacking midfielder. There’s probably loads and I’m just being thick!

No, the Radio Leicester lad.

Why does our commentator react more excitedly to the opposition scoring than when we score?

If Hamza is the answer then we’re asking the wrong question.

He has my backing (I bet he’s relieved about that). I hope he does well and delivers us a few performances and results to excited about.

Back on topic...I like the idea of a coach I know nothing about based on the fact that all the options I do know something about are fairly shit. This could be amazing or it could be a complete car crash. Either way it should be an interesting ride.

I'm not a fan of Sutton (I think he's a bombastic, bullying twat) but I don't think he's far wrong with what he's said for once. On 5Live on Sunday rather than slagging off Cooper he was calling out whoever interviewed Cooper and decided he was a good fit only to sack him 12 games later, which I think most on here agree with.

I've got no real preference on who the next manager should be. I'd rather we went with someone "new" and not the usual suspects (I'm looking at you David Moyes!). Whoever comes in has got a challenge on their hands but I'd like it if we got in a manager with a future who might succeed rather than just not fail too badly. I also don't want to hear again that "we are just a newly promoted side".

Really sad news. Like others have said his was the voice of the Leicester City of my youth. RIP

Ward in goal. No other players on the pitch. Mind games. See how it goes.

Oh with Wout Faes in our back line we are shite…Cooper Out! Oh with Wout Faes in our back line we are shite…Cooper Out! While he multiplies the dumplings Poor Leicester get a thumping Oh with Wout Faes in our back line we are shite…COOPER OUT!!!

This is my fear exactly. He’ll set us up to try not to lose. Then we’ll lose.

This club doesn't do anything very quickly. Other than concede goals.

Surely it can't be 140 years since King Power created this great club of ours...

I don't know why we keep kidding ourselves he will be gone soon. He won't be gone until February/March at the earliest I reckon. I think I'm going to have a football hibernation and come back when he isn't here any more.

Fair play to Cooper. He’s picked the team most of us wanted. Hopefully it works out and we play with some freedom and desire and smash these.

All I can say is it’s about f***ing time Jon! Great to see the in depth review of what went wrong in 2022/23 has started to pay dividends.

Gerrimin...

I know but I live in hope.
