I bet Jeremys parents and agent have always dreamed about him signing for Man City, and then the subsequent loan after loan before his Carabao cup appearance in 5 years time!
-
What a lift he gave us, and the fans got behind him with probably one of the best and most vociferous sung songs during that era! I loved that Charlton away game, what a first goal! As for the play off final winner, probably one of the greatest moments I have witnessed watching Leicester, it certainly was the best ever moment up to that point!

Rodger’s vs the board (chicken vs egg)
Parker Pen replied to Lambert09's topic in Leicester City Forum
I do hope that Ridgers looks back at his time here and realises how his frequent poor decision making especially around man management is also as much a contributing factor alongside not being given millions of pounds to torch on average players because crooked Lee had wasted it all! Two come to mind; Ending Kaspers record breaking consecutive match run at Watford away by playing Ward and Brentford at home in the sun on the opening match of the season. I still am massively suspicious about what he did during that match! -
Most teams like Middlesbrough that had the measure of us last season played 532. That’s what I would do and not play Vestergaard and Soumare. In fact they wouldn’t be in the first team squad again this season.
-
Ffs That’s absolutely pathetic by Cunha and the Bournemouth player Kerkez! Players like Elliot, Walsh and Roy Keane would have laughed at him.
-
Reinforced by that ‘leave’ for the first West Ham goal and inability to head the ball for Wolves first at home.
-
The article highlights the lack of leadership doesn’t it because why does it need a leaked press story to highlight your issues. Ruud and His coaching staff should be making them run laps around Vicky park if they had any bottle! Clearly it suggests that the problem children are Vestergaard, Winks and Coady. Transfer list all 3 and make them train on their own.

Ruud van Nistelrooy - New Manager - Official

There’s clearly a complete disconnect between him and some of the players. God knows what his tactics are! Whatever they are the players can’t/wont put them into practice! It’s failed Top, you made the decision now sack him as well. Take a leaf out of Steve Parish’s book and keep sacking until you get the right man! -
That was/is worse than 2001/2 against a bang average West Ham team. I can’t believe that this time last season we competed with and beat Bournemouth away in the cup with our reserves.
-
He is limited but at least he does try!
-
The worst ever player to pull on a Leicester Shirt that I have seen play for us!
-
If West Ham were playing against their training Mannequins they would have a tougher game!

Recruitment stats don’t include Leadership! 100% we lack from a playing staff perspective. Walsh and Pearson got the talent and leadership blend spot on. Ranieri piggy backed that for one season and led from the front. After that I would argue that we have struggled to recruit an onfield leader and since first Wes retired and Kasper was let go we have nobody. Kasper for me was a complete scandal who set high standards for himself both in and off the pitch that he measured others by! We were fortunate with Enzo as he was an off field leader and controlled pretty much everything due to his workaholic approach. Cooper by comparison was an absolute shambles. Add to that a recruitment strategy that has failed since Congerton and now Glover overseen by Rudkin we are have replaced good players with bang average. We haven’t learnt or grown in that department. Replace Rudkin and Glover And start again. Some of the kids who play Championship manager have a far better scouting network than us!

Ayew, Cordova-Reid, Buonanotte, Mavididi, McAteer ?

Change the shape to a 352/532 then you wouldn’t have to play any of them! Drop Soumare as well whilst you are at it. You could leave them all at home as they are all beyond poor. Pack the midfield with Ndidi and one of the Spurs boys plus Facundo and leave Bulal upfront with either Vardy, Daka or even give Edouard a go in a front two. Puts two or theee of the Under 21s on the bench and give it a go. 14/15 was a 352! -
Great memories! Kasper, Huth, Wasyl , Wes and Cambiasso all great players with outstanding grit and fighting qualities. Sprinkle a little bit of Mahrez magic…. Even the the players on the bench that day would improve today’s starting 11

A proper bloke and a true leader on and off the pitch!

In our current predicament I would go for Dyche. When he went into Everton having taken over from Fat Frank he couldn’t believe how unfit the players were! He got them fit and organised and made them hard to play against, working with what he had. He wouldn’t stand for our defenders watching the ball either bounce in front of them or sail over their heads that’s for sure. I know that Everton fans were thankful for his tenure during their desperate times. Exactly where we are now! He’s handed the baton over to Moyes with the team fit and organised. Now they are flying. We need one more point than the team occupying 18th. Thats what we need and he achieved that on several occasions with both Burnley and Everton.
-
He is the wrong fit for our club! Too many wrong fits appointed but occasionally we have struck gold with the likes of Brian Little, Martin O’Neil, Nigel Pearson and Claudio Ranieri. All had great leadership qualities!
-
Add to that no leadership amongst the playing group. Too many sulky tarts!
-
McClintock era was awful but similar in that we had journeymen & mercenary players that took us down before Jock took us back up by playing the likes of Linekar, Peake and Buchanon. Hamilton and Pleat was awful again before Brian Little saved us. Peter Taylor again ruined a hard working and tight knitted bunch of players built up by Martin O’Neill. What followed was worse than this, those wilderness years before that half wit Holloway came in and took us to league 1. Pinning your hopes on Ian Humeand Zsolt Laczko! What makes this even worse than all of that is that we have sound financial backing unlike those days and still they can’t get it right! Treating fans like we are rocking up at your duty free franchise shop at Phuket airport will not do Top!
-
Never pick him in the first team squad again. One of the worst players to ever play for us. As I’ve said before, best suited to the playground, his off the ball work is awful he doesn’t track runners or get goalside. Plus his on the ball work is ponderous and quite often plays other players a hospital pass!
-
Unfortunately I think it’s time to get rid. Two terrible appointments one after another. Corberan was a missed opportunity, look what he is now doing at Valencia and trying his best to save their season. Also spunking £20 million plus on Skipp, madness!
-
Thats the problem 100%. They see the Trust as being an arm of the club and as such won’t hold the club to account at all. Unfortunately they aren’t and won’t let themselves become anything other than this. They are the epitome of Magnolia paint! A direct action Ultra group they are not! I remember seeing the head of a German group (maybe Monchengladbach) chastising their first team in a face to face meeting on YouTube following a spineless home performance! That’s what is needed.

Same here, communication is everything and makes for strong leadership! Not sharing the content and releasing a bland statement is wet and stinks of cronyism .If you don’t share and engage people will fill the void with their own narrative and nothing will change. No leadership ar the Foxestrust, in the boardroom or on the pitch.
