Yes, friendly against Villarreal I think, viscous tackle on him.

The swamp is almost fully drained.

Hamza Choudhury permanent to Sheff United - Official
SK3Blue replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
I remember Sky reporting that he was attracting interest from Barcelona in 2014, that soon went away. Taxi firms in Leicester have lost a good customer. -
Its like any workplace that has a change of manager every 6-9 months, along with a vast number of outgoing staff, it would take anyone a while to settle things down. But it’ll never happen with the current regime. Any young player who shines this season will be off the next. Still to move on Souttar, Faes, Mavididi, Thomas, Skipp, Reid and Choudhury. It just shows how utterly rancid our recruitment policy has been for years. None of these deserve a shirt here.

I don’t go to games any longer as I don’t think Football is value for money and also worth the time these days, most of my posts are negative and directed at the owner, Rudkin or manager. I still want the lads to do well, I just cannot justify giving my money to the fools in charge to squander. We are in uncharted territory so I fully understand the frustrations of the paying fans, I feel the same frustrations and vent them here. King Power have driven away fans who were there pre 2016 by preventing them getting general sale tickets, there’s many of us who can’t be bothered now they want us back, we rattled around Filbert St with 8000 fans in the 80s when it was easier to walk away with the ongoing threat of violence at matches in ramshackle stadiums with high fences. Now it’s just as easy to walk away when they want £36 to watch Burton.

I’d use the word Manager very loosely where Passmoor is concerned!
-
It hasn’t improved, it’s much weaker. King Power, Billiard, Passmoor honestly believe they have done enough again but the teams in WSL2 are no mugs. Very little creativity in the team, bottom 3 is my prediction if they keep Passmoor.
-
No wins in pre season. They still haven’t won away in the league since Jan 2024 (1-0 at Everton) and Kirk was in charge! Passmoor still in the job, so it’ll be more of the same, playing Football on a 50 yard pitch (in our own half)

Lost 0-2 to Sunderland at Belvoir Drive in the final pre season friendly today.
-
Can we afford to get rid of this fraud?
-
Wonder if we could tempt Matty Fryatt out of retirement, age 40, surely Rudkin could get a 3 year deal on the table.

Russell Martin - Confirmed as First Team Manager
SK3Blue replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
Sounds like a ‘modern workplace manager’ found in many businesses up and down the country, glorifies things and generally talks a load of old bollocks. -
Everything seemed reasonably settled until Kirk was fired. Lisa Pearce who was a director left the club midway through 24/25 season and was ‘pretty useless at handling player contracts’ according to a former player. I heard a few rumours to say that there were certain players that when they clubbed together could make life difficult, there were certainly players unhappy with their injury rehab during the Miquel reign hence Petermann left and Rantala seemed to be out for ages and grew increasingly frustrated. Then Sophie Howard did an interview in which she said her contract offer wasn’t great and left for Italy, that seemed to be the catalyst for others to go like Momiki. Mace going was out of the blue and maybe Miquel kicked off about that and got her marching orders. Overall it’s been a turbulent 2.5 years, and I think Rudkin filled the gap between Pearce and Billiard so even those exiting now like Cain, Leitzig etc were probably seeing their extensions in summer 2024 or 2025 triggered by Rudkin on p1ss poor terms in favour of the club. Lots of long term injured too on those deals so not much interest from other clubs back then. Throw in a coach that hasn’t got a clue, and cannot get a team to score goals, loans out and ignores young players, gets relegated, then surrounds himself with young players for a wsl2 campaign and maybe you’ll be as baffled as me!

New track is decent.

Or indeed a left back, or even a footballer

Friend has been going for 40 odd years and got the info from a steward. As previously stated the article is from a source that’s not usually reliable at a guess? And no, Top is not my friend. Maybe yours though?
-
Dear Top, average performance today, Burton caused us problems, we managed a goal and good news, Skippy got sent off so we can claw some cash back with a fine. We did lose, but on a brighter note I found Morrisons had restocked the salad bar after the game so I had a yummy tea, traffic good, got home safe around 7.30pm.
-
Likewise I’ve done 45 years ‘length of service’ and I honestly understand the mood swings! It’s quite hard to detach yourself from it, even posting on here proves that. Sadly I don’t see a turnaround anytime soon, in fact I think it’s going to get worse and I do think we are going to have to go through another squad to start again, not many of this lot will cut it.
-
Correct, quite early too, think Lowe scored then Jones started on him.
-
I was at that game too, Jones was kicking him so Lowe stuck one on him, red card. Scored a great goal v Spurs in a 3-1 win that same season.
-
It’s interesting to see the type of player that Passmoor has brought in, generally upwards moves for most of them or a much increased prospect of playing regularly, a chance to prove themselves but also far less likely to question him or his tactics unlike let’s say Williams, Neville or Cain who id imagine were not backwards in coming forwards. Speaks volumes that so many wanted to leave, even if it was just to find themselves a 12 month stay in WSL1 by joining Charlton, Palace or Everton, none of which can confidently state they won’t be in a relegation scrap.
-
Well I’d think that too, and rejecting bids for Souttar also says we aren’t completely desperate, but who knows for sure with this lot in charge.
-
Haven’t been to the stadium since Vardys final game v Ipswich, interest has slowly faded away from streams last season to just checking the full time score. Did also follow the women’s team but again, lost interest. The game in general has changed so much that I don’t really care for it anymore, the farce with Trump in the World Cup, Infantino, even a few years back when the big boys tried to form the super league, it has all contributed to my lack of interest. I’ll always be a Leicester fan and want them to do well, but I’d rather do European city breaks these days with some of the money I save by not going to games.
-
I was told by a friend that the entire squad was up for sale and administration is looming. There’s a couple of reports online stating the same but not exactly from trusted sources.
