IF it's announced today then if it's: - RVN - a real mixed bag of reactions - but I think predominantly the majority will be quite pleased and excited for the unknown - Moyes - Most people will be "OK" with this, with the hope that the experience will keep us in the EPL however will be facing boring turgid football for the rest of the season. - Potter - Not going to happen but maybe people's reservations will be that he "rejected" us so many times and so why now? - Corberan - Again a little bit like RVN - the proof will be in the pudding but possibly exciting times ahead - or will fall flat on it's face. Either way I think the majority will be happy. - Other - well F knows

Ok what time do we all think? 2pm?

Moyes - I'd be OK as a short term hire as he'll more than likely keep us up Potter - just not sure - the fact that he's turned us down so many times leaves a bitter taste José - would be a roller coaster for sure and the media would love it Big Sam - can we get Cooper back? RVN - just not sure - unproven really and a bit of a risk - not very Leicester like I'd love to see them give it to Esterban - he loves us and we love him!

He's not going anywhere till at least March is he? I think I've resigned to the fact that the hierarchy think we'll be relegated and the best we can do is have Cooper next year. It's really the only explanation. How they don't see that we are a sinking ship is beyond me.
-
You're probably right and I was probably clutching at straws, the point way that never mind 7 points, we'll struggle to get 3
-
I'd say there's less than a 10% chance we get 7 points from the next 5 Brentford (a) - L West Ham (H) - D if we are lucky Brighton (H) - L Newcastle (A) - L Wolves (H) - D or W So that's 4 points if we beat Wolves or max 6 points if we beat both Wolves and West Ham. No way we get any points from the others.

Wolves and Palace winning..... I think with him in charge we are the worst team in the league. Our easier run of games has papered over the cracks for sure!
-
The amount of people that left before 80 mins today must have been a record. So many! Almost seemed half empty. The Cooper effect is just so draining. You can't even get angry now, it's just sheer disappointment or apathy
-
Just back from the game and I think the scoreline flatters us. It was almost like a training match for Chelsea, barely got out of second gear. We were awful for 90% of the game. The last 10 mins of the second half we actually put up a fight and pressed and had some joy. How a professional footballer can finish how Ndidi and Kasey did I just don't know. Soumaré - surely he must be phenomenal in training. How he keeps starting I just don't know. Bilal tried and did create but the others were just not on his level. The reliance on Vardy is just beyond a joke. Coppers plan today was, sit back and defend and boot it up to Vardy. Unfortunately Vards is just not the same Vards we've known and loved, he's short of that burst of pace, his reactions are much slower and he cannot play 90 mins of football. Today was about as clear cut as I've seen to the negativity Cooper has created. He's an old school thinking coach, soak up the pressure and boot it forward. He needs to go. Simply becuase he has no idea of any other way we can play. Can't keep using excuses of referees and luck.

Chelsea (H) 23rd November - Pre-match Thread

Do we think that this game is the game where the most amount of fans think that we will lose the game probably in the last 10/15 years? - perhaps a poll will give us an idea? -
Capital Gains tax? Regardless of who pays the tax, the estate was paid with tax paid money, if you can give it to your wife or husband entirely then why shouldn't you give it to your kids. It's often not as simple as just gifting it to your kids before the 7 years are up as capital gains tax is a factor. Exactly!
-
Well, rather than public services, I was thinking more along the lines of MP salaries, bonus, expenses, plus government spending on certain things which if I outline my thoughts on here would open a whole can of worms
-
Honestly the whole idea of Inheritance really bugs me, the person pays for an asset with tax paid money, pays tax on purchasing the asset and then when the person dies their dependants have to pay IHT on something already purchased through tax paid money. Usually buy the sale of an asset. Ok so a farming family who have had 4 generations of farmers, the land in question is worth £3m (doesn't really mean a lot when you are not planning on selling it) - you have a farming company which uses that £3m worth of land and it generates revenues (turnover) of say £1m. Now if the parents passed away and left it to children they would automatically need to pay circa £800,000 plus (depending on other assets) - but for this lets assume it's just the £800k Now how do the "children" pay for this - I suppose the only way would be to sell some of the land therefore decreasing the amount of revenue that company can bring in, and when they die the same thing with their children. This is basically the government being the mafia - take money and then go back and take more money - simply because they or their predecessors f'ed up. How about we look at the spending first. No point in putting more water into a leaking barrel - find the leak first!

"the story of Leicester City being melted away by the hiring of Cooper"

Not sure how legit this source is to be honest. They are still active on their twitter account and nothing on any other news platform so far.

This is going to be one of those watch through the fingers jobbie. It's gonna be a battering. I can't see us conceding less than 4 goals. -
How did he miss?

Joachim made me a Leicester fan.

Bit rubbish isn't it?

Loves a yellow this ref.

OK so today is the day? Right? Isn't it? Please for the love of God let it be? I'm sure it is. I hope it is.

I've heard this so many times and honestly I completely disagree with it. It's not a base of being spoilt and not appreciating what we had - I think most fans agree that the last 10 years have been amazing - it's more to do with the fact that we had that platform, we had the opportunity to really kick on and cement our place in the top 10 or top 6 - regularly competing for the European spots, Going far in the cups etc. For me the start of the decline was the failure of getting that last champions league spot and the recruitment thereafter, spending silly money on quite frankly mediocre players (albeit a couple of decent ones). The attitude of "oh I'm here now" and not striving to keep improving. The relegation season of "oh don't worry we will be fine, our squad is too good to go down etc etc" - this is what really pisses me off - we had the opportunity but we flushed it away. Now to get back there is going to take years if not decades. It's the ownership taking their finger off the pulse. In any sport, in any business, if you are not driving forward or forever looking to improve then you will fail. It's not "normality" - going back to where we were 2 decades ago isn't "normal" So yeah it's not about being spoilt, it's about the lost opportunity.
