Personally I'm holding out for the prime minister job so have turned down promotions at work. In seriousness, whilst maybe not a managerial genius, potter would probably be a safe bet in the eyes of the FA. A yes man in the Southgate vein. Not a loose cannon in the cloughie mould (for the older among us). My choice, for what it's worth, would be Robbins from Cov. Aside from the fact it would leave their fans foaming at the mouth, I do think he has something about him and he took them from league one to the brink of the prem season before last

Whoooo are theeeey? (Whilst making gutteral Scouse noises and spraying bits of saliva as I speak)

This is what a functional Trust can achieve

Common occurrence.....these executives must think we are daft......I'd have more respect if they just said this is what we are doing, no arguments, get on with it, rather than insult my intelligence by asking my views and pretending I have a say -
Premier league clubs to vote on scrapping VAR

I enjoyed last season too, I actually preferred it as a supporter, much to the disgust of younger friends and colleagues who think the premier league is the only place to be. -

We laugh but this goes on all the time, especially at Leicester city. I've been in workplaces where it happens. A decision has already been made but they pay lip service to consulting employees (or in this case, fans) for their views, knowing full well they are going to do what they have decided anyway. And if you question it rather than bend over and take it, you are viewed as a "trouble maker" That said, fair play to anyone who actually fights/argues for what they believe in or for change. -

Premier league clubs to vote on scrapping VAR
rugbyblue replied to David Hankey's topic in Leicester City Forum
I'm not being dismissive or rude, everyone is entitled to an opinion but I simply don't care about improving it. I don't want it, never have. Not everything has to be perfect or tick a box. As I said, I can live with human error in the heat of the moment. I'll leave it there, let's agree to disagree -
Premier league clubs to vote on scrapping VAR
rugbyblue replied to David Hankey's topic in Leicester City Forum
Im not disputing the stats....to be fair, I couldn't give a toss about the stats.....it's ruining the flow of the game and sucking the passion out of the game, especially goal celebrations. I can live with the odd poor decision by a human, even if it's against my team. For every one that goes against you, one will go for you at some point down the line. It's great for rain man types who can't sleep at night unless the correct decision has been made but for the average Joe, we just want the game to be played as it was invented to be played. -

And here was me thinking the system of a ref and two linos that we had for 130 odd years worked perfectly ok. I blame frank lampard personally. His non goal for England in 2010 started all this technology b0ll0cks.😂 -

What complete utter w@nkers. The very people that have voted to keep it will be moaning about it and threatening appeals to decisions next season. Where has OUR game gone? Ffs -
Premier League 24/25 Pre-season guff (misc talking points)
rugbyblue replied to davieG's topic in Leicester City Forum
Struck a chord with me, this. Stevie p sounds in a similar boat to me. Single parent and Leicester city is mine and my daughter's thing. I don't have a season ticket and have always paid game by game. Last season we attended around 18 home and away. The point I'm making is that I'm not what you would call well off, but I have a decent job, above average wage but even so I'm close to reaching the point where football on a regular basis will be too expensive for me soon. If someone on a decent income is struggling to justify it, how do clubs expect people on lower wages or younger people to attend. Another couple of seasons and I can see that Leicester city will be a one off treat rather than a regular thing which saddens me as I have been going since 1991. They will lose a lifelong supporter in me and a future supporter in my daughter, who won't go alone, nor be able to afford it. There will come a point surely where even people on higher incomes say enough is enough. What happens then? There has to be a limit as to how much even well off people will pay. Don't clubs realise this? It's all well and good saying support a local team but the investment of emotion and the useless ability of being able to recall goals from games 25 years ago won't be there and it just won't matter as much to any supporter who has supported a team since childhood. In fairness to wolves I believe they have backtracked on the child ticket increases....I can't see Leicester doing the same when the situation arises. I genuinely cannot wait for the football gravy train to implode and it gets back to being a sport not a money making exercise.....here's hoping. -
Then dribble on you and say I like your shoes 😂

I laugh but every word is true !!

That's the lino from our Sunday team! Hands in pocket, fag in mouth, strolling along

Are they going to have lookie lookie men walking around outside flogging it. Seems appropriate given the quality....or lack of

I have no comment on this but just to say .....At Last! A non Enzo related thread 😂😂

Exactly.

I never liked all the sh*t he got when he went to villa....they were "his" club. And looking back, he really started an upward curve (in the main) for city. We were dogsh*t for quite some time before he came along and playing in front of 10k at filbert street. He got us promoted and seemed to generate a good feeling around the club even before then. As a side note, a genuinely nice man too. My mum used to run junior football teams for kids on Northfields, Sutton estate and that sort of area. Every year she would write to Brian little asking for a small gift for presentation night. He would always reply PERSONALLY and send a ball or shirt signed by the squad and twice he sent players to hand out awards. Can you imagine that today.

I remember the days where the biggest tactical issue was whether pontus kaamark man marking juninho was in the spirit of the game. How times change. Inverted full backs, transition, false 9, low press.....give me a break

I agree. For two hours on a Saturday it's all consuming but the bottom line is, we have lives and in the big scheme of things, one millionaire making a few more millions elsewhere doesn't affect us too much. I'll support city whoever the manager is, whoever plays for us and whatever division. What else am I going to do? Support someone else? It doesn't work that way.

😂😂😂. I do ok against teams that don't threaten the goal too but doubt I'll get a first team start.
