But he'll perhaps have to come from behind? -

Can't sack him, no money to pay him and his staff off! We're knackered. -
Incompetence both on and off the field. Think Top needs to sell up and nob off, couldn't oversee a **** up in a brewery!

Is he Rodgers in disguise? Any changes perhaps or leave it until 5 minutes to go!

Because Belgium are a poor side nowdays ... but still managed to nearly beat a Southgate team!

Started off a cult hero but now he's just a bit of a cult.

Thought it was just me, gets right on my tits! Always does, particularly when she she says 'I would have done it like'. They really do think they've played at a good level don't they!

It's down to him and his international manager to manage his body and fitness. Even Southgate when asked about a particular substitution replied that he was mindful about player minutes, particularly at this part of the season when some have some heavy commitments. Leicester City are no different and players like Ndidi, JJ and Ricardo, due to now being injury prone, need to manage their bodies and game time properly. Ndidi, having only just come back from a long lay off can do without 2 far away, quick fire African matches when Leicester have two matches of great importance. Also, if he picks up another injury again in quick succession, he has to remember that he's out of contract in the summer and persistent injuries could put better teams off looking after him or even Leicester renewing his contract.

Did Ndidi play 2 full games for Nigeria? Bloody ridiculous if he did with two vital Leicester games coming up. Needs to remember who pays him, particularly when he's out injured!

Leicester 'could face points deduction next season'

Yes, his son worked with Bertrand's agents company. Another cosy little deal eh? -
The club aren't in a position to demand anything, that's the point and other clubs know it. The best they can hope for is that more than one club are interested and that it bumps the price up. In any case, a really top wealthy club won't be coming in for him because tbh, he's not good enough.
-
What a great idea 💡.

Like when relegated, other teams will be aware of our need to sell quickly and pick us off. KDH regardless is nowhere near worth 40m+ anyway! We'd get 25m tops.

Ex Players - They used to play for us

They couldn't make him go could they! If Tielemans decided he wanted to see out his contract then they're stuffed. He probably believed that by doing so, he'd be a more attractive prospect for a big club and in the process, get higher wages and a big fat signing on fee because the club didn't have to shell out on a huge transfer fee. Logically he was right too. Unfortunately, any big club watching his final season performances would have seen a midfielder lacking in effort, drive and constantly giving the ball away whilst puffing and panting like a fat girl. The best he could get in the end was a decent Villa side where he's well short of being a regular. However, that probably doesn't bother him too much as long as he's pulling a good wage. You can't sell someone who refuses to go or who nobody wants. -

His answer then is quite simple. Something along the lines of your wasting your time asking me, I can't give you the answers regarding the clubs finances try asking the right people, ask me questions about my players or the forthcoming match, that's all I'm here to talk about. -
I don't doubt it for one minute. Probably being happy there helps him too.

Firstly to footballers, it's in the main just a job. They're not supporters usually. Secondly, from the players point of view, he was a young man who had just won the league with his previous club and would have come here with certain ambitions as well as no doubt an improved pay package. It would be a different culture perhaps and he'd have to adapt but, nevertheless he came possibly with certain expectations. Upon his arrival he finds himself under a manager who when he did play him sporadically, it was in a position or role that was not conducive to the skill sets that helped his previous team win the league or for which he was known in France. Yet another Rodger's square peg in a round hole. If the rumours surrounding Kristiansen's experience here are true, neither was it a happy camp for some young players coming either. We only saw glimmers of what he could actually do when Smith played him in his favoured role and contrary to some biased popular opinion, compared to players like Tielemans and Maddison he absolutely busted a gut. So against your opinion that he wouldn't deserve another chance because he chose not to stay and learn Enzo's way, I'd say quite the opposite. It's just a job and if I were him I'd have been gagging to leave too! Why would he trust leicester City as a club? If he was unhappy and was given another opportunity elsewhere why not go? Why on earth should he show any loyalty here? The same goes for Kristiansen.

If they don't want to go and merely want to see out their contracts, for whatever reason, you can't sell them. It's not just Leicester players that are doing it either. -
Looking good to me in the absence of Ricardo for fitness reasons perhaps with the exception of Mcateer? Is he fit again now then? Either way he'd be the last on my team sheet in the entire squad, apart from some well taken early season goals he's been absolutely ineffectual when he's played. How anyone could put him before Fatawu and Albrighton is beyond me. There's a good argument in the predicament we're in that the experience of Coady and Albrighton wouldn't go amiss but Mcateer is just a waste of a place in the team.
-
He came over as fully understanding the issues surrounding the Sensi deal but never annoyed imo. He did very well with what was done for him transfer and loan wise in the summer and the January window is always precarious. If Milan changed the deal at the last minute and we were unable to fulfil it then that's just tough and the way it goes sometimes. Enzo still has arguably one of if not the best squads to work with in the Championship. Next season will be a new dawn and wherever we are we'll just have to deal with it. If he goes he goes.

I think any system can seem flawed without composure from your strikers. You could play a traditional 442 but if Daka blazes it over the top from 5yds out the result is the same.
-
Yet it worked for a long time this season and gave us a massive lead! Agreed perhaps a few tweeks are perhaps now required but, in most games we've created a host of goalscoring chances that have been shamefully squandered and that has cost us dearly.

I think Kompany has been the author of his own downfall not his club. Compared to certain other managers he's been well backed financially supposedly to the tune of £100m if reports are true.
