https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cglnk8dje9po A landscape in Leicestershire could be set for the world stage as a bid is made to secure a prestigious international designation. An application to get Unesco Global Geopark status for Charnwood Forest is being led by The National Forest. The area in the north of the county is home to attractions including Bradgate Park and Beacon Hill, and is famous for its landscapes and ancient fossil finds. Organisers behind the bid said an application would be submitted to Unesco later this year with international evaluators visiting the site in 2026. If the application is successful, the designation would be awarded in the spring of 2027. A 560 million-year-old fossil representing the earliest known animal predator was uncovered at the site in 2007

Not exactly grabbing the headlines like the New York shootings Two men have been killed and two others are in hospital after a stabbing at a business in Bermondsey, south London. Metropolitan Police officers were called to a commercial address on Long Lane at about 13:00 BST on Monday. A man aged 58 died at the scene, while another man, 27, died later in hospital. A third man, who's in his 30s, was detained in connection with the incident and is in hospital in a life-threatening condition. A fourth man in his 30s is also in hospital but his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. The incident is not thought to be terror-related, the Met said.

Don't give up you've already proved how much better you felt.

They do make idiot decisions so do none footballers but moving on should stop at being allowed to play it should not allow him to be a Captain of the team/club.

Leicester City Masters win the Soccer 7s Series Masters Cup in Singapore Wes Morgan skippered the Foxes to five wins and a draw Martyn Waghorn netted the winner in the final In a team that also included Marc Albrighton, Robert Huth, Danny Drinkwater and Danny Simpson, Leicester beat COSMO Masters 1-0 in the final on Sunday, having defeated Forest Reds 2-0 in the semi-finals. On Friday, in the group stage, the Foxes opened Masters Group A with a goalless draw against Corinthian Masters before beating COSMO Masters – the eventual finalists – 2-0. The following day, they triumphed 2-0 over Real Singapura FC and then 3-1 against PERSIB Masters, finishing their group stage on 10 points. That proved to be the only goal they would concede throughout the entire tournament, with two wins to nil sealing the Masters Cup – Martyn Waghorn scoring the decisive goal in the final.

Born and Raised in Leicester · Follow History of Newfoundpool The Romans finished constructing a military transport road that ran from Exeter to Lincoln in 47AD. Nearly 2000 years later, the Great Fosse Way still exists, cutting right through the western part of Leicester. Today it is still one of the city's most important roads and a commercial hub for the adjoining residential area. Newfoundpool, for instance, has an interesting history. Lying south of the old Leicester-Swannington railway, the land was bought by Isaac Harrison in 1830. Harrison wanted to develop the area as a spa, using a spring as the source of water for a bath house. Later the building was converted into a home, Newfoundpool House, in which members of the Harrison family lived until 1885. That house then became the Empire Hotel on Fosse Road North. In 1885, Leicester builder, Orson Wright, bought the land. He laid out roads across the area in a grid system and sold off the land as building plots. Most of the houses were brick built two-storey terraces, with the corner plots built as shops. Along Fosse Road North, a number of three- and four-storey red-brick villas were constructed along with the parish church of St. Augustine, between 1900 to 1912. The church itself has been abandoned since 2000 and was severely damaged by an arson attack in March 2004. Many will also recall the Art Deco style Fosse Cinema, opened 1936 which later became a bingo hall. This was demolished in 1998 to make way for the Tesco Express shop and filling station. Newfoundpool's connection with the Harrison family is commemorated by the acrostic, 'IHARRISON' This is formed by the initial letters of the street names between Pool Road and Beatrice Road. His wife's name was given to Beatrice Road with each of the other roads taking their first letter from his name - I for Isaac Harrison. So we get Ingle, Hawthorne, Alma, Rowan, Ruby, Ivanhoe, Sylvan, Oban and Newport Street.

Whether he plays or where he plays I'll leave that up to the manager who knows the background for each player and what he's trying to achieve. But as a long standing/sitting fan I take issue with him being captain to me it's a complete no no. There's second chances that allows him to play and have a career but the Captain should set the standard for the club and DUI is a step too far especially as it wasn't a marginal offence, he was well gone driving a lethal weapon.

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/leicester-city-squad-depth-chart-10378533 Leicester City squad depth chart shows what must happen to aid Marti Cifuentes transfer plan Leicester City used 30 players across their friendlies in Austria, while they have a further four senior players who are recovering from injury or building fitness ByJordan Blackwell 13:17, 27 JUL 2025 Leicester City need to cut at least 10 players from their current squad if they’re to fulfil Marti Cifuentes’ wishes and create room for new signings. Cifuentes has said it’s “very clear” that City have a big squad that needs trimming during the transfer window, with the Spaniard expressing a preference for a smaller group. In three friendlies played at their Austria training camp, City used 30 different players, while they have a further four first-team squad members currently rebuilding their fitness or recovering from injury in Mads Hermansen, Victor Kristiansen, Harry Souttar, and Bobby De Cordova-Reid. That number needs to be cut significantly if City want to give Cifuentes a manageable squad and create space for a few new additions. Because of the numbers of players at Cifuentes’ disposal, there is a fairly balanced group at City at the moment, with a plethora of options in nearly every position. In fact, when considering the versatility of some players, such as James Justin and Hamza Choudhury, City have even greater coverage in some areas. However, there is a glaring lack of strikers. Jordan Ayew has been playing there in pre-season, but Patson Daka is really the only out-and-out number nine in the squad at present. City desperately require a new forward this transfer window, and will also need to replace some of the big names in their squad that they are expected to sell as they adjust to a Championship budget, such as Bilal El Khannouss and Wilfred Ndidi. Leicester City's squad depth chart shows the 34 players currently at Marti Cifuentes' disposal To free up space, it means the number of players cut from the squad needs to get into double figures. There are a handful of young players who could return to the Under-21s, while there are players like Wanya Marcal and Silko Thomas who could be loaned out. But more senior players also need to move on, and it’s something City have so far not done. Perhaps so Cifuentes could have his say, but perhaps of difficulties in getting players out of the door, City have so far not sold nor loaned out any senior players this summer. The only senior departures have been those who were out of contract: Jamie Vardy, Danny Ward and Daniel Iversen. By this time two years ago, when they were preparing for their last Championship campaign, nine players had left, seven on free transfers and with James Maddison and Harvey Barnes sold for a combined £75m. They finished with 13 senior departures, with Timothy Castagne sold to Fulham, and with Luke Thomas, Victor Kristiansen and Boubakary Soumare loaned out.

Amanda Staveley’s Newcastle UNITED · Martin Blane ·21h · Let’s not forget, Alexander Isak signed a six-year contract with Newcastle United in August 2022. That deal runs until June 2028, just two months before his 29th birthday. In footballing terms, those are his peak years, and he knowingly committed them to this club. Newcastle are under no obligation, morally or legally, to let him walk away early. If he chooses to be disruptive or push for a move, we are well within our rights to make him see out the contract from the bench. That’s not pettiness. That’s just how long-term contracts work. He and his agent were happy to sign it at the time. As reported, Isak earns £120,000 a week. Now we’re seeing claims that he’s rejected a new contract that would have made him our highest earner, instead asking for wages the club simply cannot offer under current financial rules. Now imagine if the roles were reversed. Let’s say Matt Targett wasn’t performing and the club tried to wriggle out of his contract halfway through. We’d be rightly criticised. But when a player does the same, it’s framed as ambition. That’s not ambition. It’s hypocrisy. Contracts should work both ways. If things hadn’t gone well, Isak would still expect every penny he was promised. So why is it unreasonable for the club to expect the same? This whole situation is a result of the Profit and Sustainability Rules, a flawed system that punishes emerging clubs. Newcastle United are owned by the Saudi Public Investment Fund, one of the most financially secure organisations in world football, with assets worth over £550 billion. Yet the club isn’t allowed to invest freely. Not because it’s unsafe, but because the rules were written to prevent new challengers from upsetting the traditional elite. Under PSR, clubs can only spend what they generate, not what their owners can afford. That might sound fair at first, but all it really does is protect historic success. Clubs like Liverpool, who have had decades of top-tier income, global sponsors and Champions League revenue, are free to operate. Meanwhile, Newcastle, who are financially stronger in real terms today, are held back by rules that ignore the present and punish progress. This has nothing to do with financial safety. If that were the concern, Newcastle would be the last club anyone should worry about. This isn’t about sustainability. It’s about control. And if these rules really are about keeping football healthy, how are the following allowed? Chelsea have posted record-breaking losses and still spend freely by handing out eight-year contracts and selling assets like their women’s team and car parks to parent companies. Aston Villa have sold infrastructure to themselves to boost income on paper. Manchester United continue to lose money year after year and face no pressure to scale back. Yet Newcastle, with clean books and stable ownership, are told we must sell one of the best strikers in Europe, in his prime, to a direct rival. It makes no sense. The media won’t question any of this because it doesn’t sell papers or attract clicks. “Isak wants to leave” is a story. “Newcastle standing firm” isn’t. They won’t challenge the imbalance because it doesn’t fit the narrative. Newcastle refusing to be bullied doesn’t generate drama, but a transfer saga does. We’ve gone from being everyone’s second club to being treated like outsiders for daring to compete. Now, when we stick to the principles every club should stand by, we’re labelled the problem. The system is broken and everyone knows it. They just won’t say it out loud because right now, it benefits them. The rules are built to protect the same handful of clubs that have always been at the top and to keep others in their place. We’re being told to sell our best players to clubs we’re supposed to be challenging, not because it makes sense on the pitch, but because the rulebook demands it. If Alexander Isak wants to leave, that’s his right. But it will happen on our terms, for the right fee, when it suits Newcastle United. Not him. Not Liverpool. And not the media.

We were just too big for him
