It’s going to be a 3 manager season, it’s that comical

Makes me laugh that last season they wouldn’t sell tickets to non members, rather have empty seats…. This season I’m getting an email weekly saying please buy your home tickets! We need you 😅😅 how’s about do one

That Cannon deal looking more and more baffling, would genuinely be our best striker next season, in beyond angry now

This is the straw that broke the camels back for me, not been this fuming since that draw to Stoke got us relegated to league 1

This situation is escalating now…. We need to make a massive statement on 15th, big enough to get media coverage. the happy clappers are hindering progress…. The cartel needs to be removed for the good of the people

It’s 18:20, you’ve always already known by this time if a deal In negotiation, so that’s it! No signings as far as I’m concerned

Hopefully one Dawson would have been 40k a week less, and also we know Coady isn’t good enough, so at the very worst we’re in the same position

Glover bought them in, Cooper asked for PL experience and those positions - what we got was the fine scouting of Martyn Glover, the same guy that ruined Southampton before us

We will sell and won’t replace, but he doesn’t play or is anywhere near good enough…. So still they on the P&L and on Coady wages

Looks like Real Madrid in for him now, what’s even the point now of football https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/real-madrid-launching-mega-move-for-leicester-city-star-report

It won’t be a loan, will be a permanent signing

If it gets rid of that podcasters hideous wage then it’s a small win, but both as bad as each other we’re gagging for pace in the back line, so we sign the Premier leagues slowest defender

I think we’d all respect him more if he came on and communicated what’s going on…. This radio silence for me is horrendous

There won’t be a replacement! We know the score

Martyn Glover should be sacked immediately, he’s completely inept at finding the talent required, he’s as culpable at Rudkin in all this

At the point now where I want them all gone tbh, hate them all

I’m here for the meltdown if we let Okoli & Ndidi leave on loan 😅😅

He’s been massively undermined, but he’s also a very poor coach…. If he walks it’s win win, because it’s a statement again this pathetic board, and we get rid on an inept manager for nothing

Tanner article: Leicester City are unlikely to be doing any business on transfer deadline day. Continued concerns about profit and sustainability rules (PSR) mean there is limited scope for manager Ruud Van Nistelrooy to bolster the squad he inherited two months ago before the window shuts on Monday at 11pm UK time (6pm ET), certainly with players who could actually make a difference. There will be outgoings, including Will Alves moving to Cardiff City of the second-tier Championship on loan, but it seems the arrival of full-back Woyo Coulibaly from Parma of Italy for £3million ($3.7m) a couple of weeks ago will prove to be the only piece of mid-season business Leicester do. Both Premier League loan slots are taken up by summer signings Facundo Buonanotte and Odsonne Edouard, neither of whom featured as Leicester suffered a chastening 4-0 away defeat against relegation rivals Everton on Saturday. Edouard, who has played just 26 minutes of Premier League football in four appearances since moving from Crystal Palace, was not even in the 20-strong matchday squad — the 11th time in Leicester’s past 12 top-flight games for which he was eligible. Unless a tempting deal emerges on the international loan market before today’s deadline, the restrictions imposed by PSR will mean Van Nistelrooy will have to try to keep Leicester in the Premier League with what he already has at his disposal. After the trouncing at Goodison Park — which could have been by an even wider margin — that seems a daunting prospect. Leicester do have funds to spend and would like to back Van Nistelrooy, but they continue to sail close to the PSR limits and are still in arbitration with the Premier League over previous issues, most notably the 2022-23 season, when they avoided a charge by effectively arguing they ceased to be a Premier League club at the point of breach due to their relegation but were not yet a Championship club either. Such tight restrictions mean the business they did in the summer post-promotion, when they sold key midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea for £30million and then spent around £80m to improve the squad Steve Cooper took over from Chelsea-bound Enzo Maresca, will come under further scrutiny. PSR may have paralysed the club in this window, but their previous transfer dealings have not been effective enough in terms of having an impact on the current starting XI. It is hard to argue this squad is an improvement on the one that won instant promotion back to the Premier League last season and it certainly is not as stacked with talent as the group who surprisingly went down a year earlier. It seems tough on Van Nistelrooy, who has repeatedly said he was given assurances he would have support in this window during the negotiations before he agreed to take over from Cooper, who was sacked in November after just 12 league games in charge. After the defeat by Everton, when asked twice if he would be able to strengthen a player pool who had just been humbled emphatically, the Dutchman tempered any expectation in that direction. “Now it is about focusing on the squad we have because we are better than we showed today,” he said. Leicester are 18th, two points from safety, with 14 games to go (Robbie Jay Barratt – AMA/Getty Images) They were better last weekend when they came from a goal down to win 2-1 away against Tottenham Hotspur, but it remains just one clean sheet all season in their 24 league fixtures. It is clear where the biggest and most immediate problem lies. Leicester cannot hope to survive in the 2024-25 Premier League with such a porous defence — which, with Coulibaly having only played twice as a substitute so far, is effectively the same one they had two seasons ago as they got relegated. Without being able to bring in much-needed reinforcements, Van Nistelrooy will have to work with what he has for the remaining 14 games of the season. It will be the greatest test of his young managerial career. When the 48-year-old agreed to join Leicester, he had just one season of first-team management under his belt, at PSV of the Netherlands in 2022-23. And he walked away from that with one game left because, having had two of his best players — Cody Gakpo and Noni Madueke — sold in the January window, he felt he did not have the backing of those above him at the club. Could history repeat itself at Leicester? Gakpo and Madueke were so important to a PSV side who eventually finished second in the Eredivisie that season because attack was Van Nistelrooy’s best form of defence: they scored a league-leading 89 goals in their 34 matches (eight more than eventual champions Feyenoord), but conceded 40, the highest total in the final top six. Everton’s first goal on Saturday, scored just 10 seconds into the match, was the 50th Leicester have conceded in the Premier League this season; after 24 games, it is the earliest they have reached that figure in a top-flight campaign since 1959-60 (when it took until the 23rd match). Van Nistelrooy was a great striker for Manchester United, Real Madrid and the Netherlands in his playing days. Is he now able to build a defensive structure that will form the foundation of a survival bid? So far, the answer is no. In Cooper’s 12 league matches, Leicester conceded 23 goals. In the 11 under Van Nistelrooy, they have allowed 26. By contrast, his Everton counterpart David Moyes came into the press room on Saturday evening after his side’s third consecutive victory, and second straight clean sheet, and mentioned how they had a defensive foundation that was key to their resurgence since his return for a second spell at Goodison Park early last month. Leicester do not have that solid base currently. It is like building on quicksand because of previous recruitment failings, but it is now Van Nistelrooy’s responsibility to do everything he can to mitigate those issues. After Tottenham, there was hope. That win in north London felt significant to many Leicester fans who were buoyed by how their team stood firm under late pressure, defended deep and broke quickly. All that positivity evaporated in the opening seconds on Saturday, with that hope being replaced by anger, recrimination and dejection. And when they went two down inside six minutes, the travelling fans shouted for the removal of director of football Jon Rudkin and the board of directors. There were ironic celebrations in the away section when Leicester had possession or even a shot and chants of “This is embarrassing” as the game quickly slipped away. At times, it was embarrassing. Some of Leicester’s defending was so bad, so far off the level expected of a Premier League team, that after the game, fan-made videos of the goals they conceded appeared on social media with the soundtrack of ‘Entrance of the Gladiators’ — a tune that has become synonymous with a trip to the circus. Worryingly, after just five minutes and when it was only 1-0, there was a chant of “We’re going down”. If the more hardcore away fans are resigned to relegation, there really is trouble ahead. At half-time, with Leicester three goals behind, some in the away end left their seats and did not return. It will be the last time they see their side play at Goodison, with Everton set to move to a state-of-the-art stadium this summer. Unless Van Nistelrooy adopts a more pragmatic approach, even switching to a back five to hide the individual deficiencies these players possess defensively, Leicester may have a long wait to visit Everton’s new home.

No links, no rumours, no signings, no hope

Yep… in the meantime there’s 30 hours to go…. Not looking great is it

In your opinion, I actually think he commented in 2016 when we won the league, so I think he has heard of us

He needs to do one asap, worst manager I think I’ve ever seen in charge
