That's just reminded me of how ****ed England will be after this summer.

Definitely not some kind of brag, the wife and I have been going together for years now. Just a habit that's hard to kick.

The same reason Liam Rosenior and Ian Wright wear them.

I haven't missed a game this season.

To be fair, you've described Patson very well there.

It isn't, but that's what I was driving at in the OP.

Each to their own, I think mentality and psychology have much bigger effects on performance than they used to. Take Norwich this season as a case in point who lost all 8 of their first home games this season and generally looked dreadful, to how they looked after a few months with a manager who knew what he was doing and 'understood' the players.

A lot of these same players finished top under Enzo.

Absolutely not. My point is that there's a lot of decent technical ability in this season's squad.

I was asked to leave hospitality for booing Winks early on. Ridiculous.

Except we have seen it in parts this season and a big chunk of this squad won the league 2 seasons ago. Mentality and technical ability are two different things. Ric nailed it in the recent BSLB; next season they'll probably be finessing all over the place.

This post hurts my eyes.

I've been on the beers sure, but that people have skipped that and gone to AI is a bit odd.

I expect he would do, I can see Stoke letting him go when the season's up and if you look at where he's been most successful, it's at clubs in crisis.

I'm sorry?

I mean it for now, with an eye on this summer and next season.

'Top' stuff mate.

If I could have your attention. There are times when a club reaches a crossroads. For me, that moment for Leicester City is now. We’ve all seen how quickly things can drift when there’s no clear direction. This squad isn’t devoid of quality — far from it. In many areas, there are players capable of competing at the level this club should be at. But something isn’t clicking, and it’s becoming more obvious by the season. The balance is off. Performances lack consistency, identity, and edge. We’re seeing flashes rather than sustained momentum. That’s not the hallmark of a side with clear leadership or a defined approach. This is where the decision comes: stick or twist? Because right now, it feels like we’re drifting rather than building. And drifting is how seasons get away from you. It doesn’t have to be this way. With the right direction, this club is more than capable of turning things around. But that requires a manager who can impose structure, clarity, and belief — not just in theory, but in practice. That’s why I’d be looking seriously at Mark Robins. He understands how to build a team with purpose. He gets players working within a system that actually suits them. More importantly, he creates sides that are hard to play against and know exactly what they’re doing — something we’re currently lacking. This isn’t about panic. It’s about recognising the moment. Do we wait and hope things click? Or do we act while there’s still time to shape the season? Because the taxi isn’t just warming up — the meter's running. And unless something changes soon, we risk looking back at this summer as the point where we should have acted, but didn’t.

The atmosphere is already as dead and sterile as possible!

Going in hospitality for this because, why not?

What about Bianca?

Might not be a popular suggestion, but Jake Bidwell from Cov. Legs probably gone at Championship level but a very good influence in training and good leadership material by all accounts.

Wrexham took the piss and spent loads on veteran players, it’s not something we can afford to be doing. I would focus on cheap and promising players with a point to prove, with some older heads around them to help To be clear though, not a single one of this season’s shower should be involved.

Patson Daka probably cost more than the Portsmouth and Oxford starting 11s combined.

And yet, we were happy for someone to come in and gift us a huge amount of money, for us to spend a ridiculous amount going up in the first place. We also got ahead of the curve in using the administration loophole in the early 2000s. When people talk about a 'good' owner what they usually mean is someone who will spend loads of money without asking for anything back.
