Leicester City For Sale (Ongoing Thread)
volpeazzurro replied to AKCJ's topic in Leicester City Forum
Sadly, on Vinted, he’s not going to be able to market the club as ‘very good’, ‘good’ or even ‘satisfactory’, I therefore foresee a problem? Perhaps EBay or Gumtree might be better options? -
Yes, absolutely they’ll fall for it, it’s Rodgers part two, episode ‘Rinse and Repeat’ or ‘The Charlatan Rides Again’ (but without the money to burn this time).

His style of play, albeit the elite have moved on, is only good if you’ve got the players to execute it. If you look at PSG, Real Madrid, the Spanish National side, they’ve all moved on from Pep ball and even he tweaked things in his last season. When Barcelona were rampant for a couple of seasons, the Germans studied them, adapted, and Bayern and Dortmund the next season in Europe trounced them both by 7 goals over two legs. The ‘Kaiser’ was asked how they did it and said that they studied them, made their teams bigger, stronger, more athletic, got them off the ball and whilst they passed also, they were more direct and purposeful. Systems changes and adaptations are made by talented managers. Managers like Russell and even Maresca just slavishly study a style and stick to it, they can’t adapt to the opposition play because they’re so committed and blinkered. All you have to do with Leicester is play a low ish block and let them piss about as you harass them until they inevitably lose it and pass it through them! Yes, we’ve got some donkeys perhaps but unfortunately, they’re being dictated to by a complete one trick pony of an Ass!

Tbh, the writing was on the wall as soon as doombrain Top appointed this manager. There was a time when an employer use to look at cv’s! Top is just a complete tit who just mumbles something about possession football in an attempt to appear knowledgeable on the subject. He’s just a shite Vichai mini me!

Wout Faes signs for Leicester - Official
volpeazzurro replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
What would you honestly expect Russell Martin to say when the player is up for sale and they want rid? Bit naive to think he’s going to call him out in public! -

volpeazzurro replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
Thought he could sell hotdogs at halftime but would be a bit slow and if the first tray ran out, he wouldn’t get back for a second! -
It was a pearler in fairness wasn’t it 😂
-
Thought he was very good in the World Cup. Perhaps the system of aimlessly passing the ball etc rather than playing to his skills could be effecting him?
-
Which is a shame as I see him as the best centre half out of our useless lot!

Fran Vieites leaves - mutual agreement to terminate contract
volpeazzurro replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
No, he must have been that bad! More sterling work from our Southampton scouting impresario eh, where would we be without him! I think agreed termination means pay off in plain speak doesn’t it? -
It was Vichai at the helm for the premiership, it went starkly down hill after Top took over and effectively absolutely ruined his father’s work. Why would anyone want to remember him fondly, he could have put us out of business!

Leicester City For Sale (Ongoing Thread)

Easy to get excited. This could blow up in our faces when Ahmed’s Cairo Kebab Shop is announced! -
Harry Winks to Cagliari permanent - Official

In brackets underneath: (THAT AWFUL SMELL HAS GONE) -
A set of Turkey teeth and a season ticket allowing you to use any of the 2000 Turkish Barbers in Leicester!
-
This has to be as good as a new signing! Good riddance to the snake!

Danny Ings (signing 1 year deal, John Percy.)
volpeazzurro replied to moore_94's topic in Transfer Talk
We’ll need about three strikers and it’s only for one year so hopefully he’ll be able to make some sort of contribution. Let’s face it, he couldn’t be much worse than last year’s options could he? He’ll also potentially be playing for a second year? -
Danny Ings (signing 1 year deal, John Percy.)
volpeazzurro replied to moore_94's topic in Transfer Talk
I suppose one difference might be that Ayew at his peak was never a goal scorer whereas Ings was a very decent one! Depends what’s left in the tank. -
Russell Martin - Confirmed as First Team Manager
volpeazzurro replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
Could he be about to say ‘Oooh Betty?’ -
Cheap and tacky looking, just imo.
-
And I’ll cheer every kick! 🤣
-
I agree with all that! Clearly due diligence isn’t on the agenda still! How can they be so out of touch or thick!
-
I’d love Colin willy puller personally!
-
Yes that’s a good point, I hadn’t thought of it like that. Everything about that era was good and there was an incredible spirit in the camp with Fuchs in particular getting up to mischief! I remember two of his silly videos in particular, one where he and Huth are playing ‘red ass’ where they had to bend over and blast a football at each other from a few yards and another where he’s flicking Shinji Okazaki’s ears! It was an era (Martin O’Neil’s and NP too) when I think supporters really felt like a real part of the club. It wasn’t about the winning, it was about the atmosphere created by players and manager at the time. On the other hand, as most of the current dross will hopefully have left, with a bunch of kids and any new signings, Fuchs might just be the sort of personality to set the spirit alight again! We’d know how poor we are, no one expects to be winning every week, I think we just want to see a bit of effort and fight for the shirt! The flies in the ointment being that we’d still have the useless Top, potentially craving his wish for his ‘passing’ brand of football (because he’s such an expert and connoisseur) and his backroom staff. Could you trust any of them to choose new players in the loan or free transfer markets? Perhaps best save Fuchs for if we get a new owner?
