https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/leicester-city-women-transfer-confirmed-10187094 Leicester City Women transfer confirmed as hint dropped over exit before 'big plans' commence The latest Leicester City Women news following the end of the Women's Super League season, with the shaping of the squad for the new campaign already up and running ByJordan Blackwell 17:12, 15 MAY 2025 Lena Petermann will leave Leicester City Women this summer and join Werder Bremen on a free transfer following the expiry of her contract at the King Power Stadium. Petermann did not play a single match all season for City with the German one of many attackers affected by injury. And now she won’t play for City again, with a move back to her homeland announced. Joining City in the summer of 2023, Petermann was the club’s first-choice striker in her maiden season, playing 20 of the club’s 22 WSL games and scoring five goals. Injuring her knee on the pre-season trip to Australia, Petermann’s absence was one of the reasons City struggled so much in attack early in the campaign. Her tally will end at five after she signed for Werder Bremen, who finished seventh of 12 in the Frauen-Bundesliga this term. Reflecting on her season, Petermann told her new club: “Of course, it's extremely bitter and not easy when you don't even play during the season. “It's been a tough time, but I'm someone who doesn't give up easily and doesn't let myself get down easily. I have good people around me who support me during this tough time. “But I'm on the right track to be back on the pitch soon. My rehab is going really well. I'll be able to attack again in a few weeks.” Torres looks to be departing too There are expected plenty of announcements over players’ futures in the next few weeks, and whether those out of contract will get new deals or will be saying their goodbyes. There’s been no announcement yet, but loan striker Karla Torres has hinted she won’t be sticking around. The Colombian, who joined on loan from Independiente Santa Fe in January, made three WSL appearances for a total of 32 minutes of pitch-time, the 18-year-old unable to force her way properly in to Amandine Miquel’s plans. Writing on social media following the end of the season, Torres said: “Thank you for believing, it was a pleasure.” ‘Big plans’ for next season Once it’s known who is staying put, Miquel can then get down to business with her “big plans” for the transfer market. Petermann’s departure in particular should mean at least one new forward comes in, but it’s likely that every department will need strengthening to some degree. City just about managed to keep their run going of improving their points tally every season, but Miquel was not wholly satisfied with the level of improvement, and so it seems she’ll be as busy as ever even without matches to prepare for. “I have big plans,” she told BBC Radio Leicester. “I will be staying in Belvoir Drive and working to recruit the best players so we are in the best position when we come back.”

The track is still there, it's mainly the velodrome that's gone.

History of Leicestershire in Images Graham Hulme · An old postcard view looking towards Uppingham Road with Overton Road seen on the left, from around 1910. The building seen at the corner between the two roads is the chemist’s shop of Frederick William Goodess. The building at the corner still exists and is still a pharmacy. Mr Goodess is shown as a chemist and druggist in various local directories, of the period from about 1906, which give him as at 25 Market Street with a branch at 2a Uppingham Road. The earlier Wright’s Leicester directory of 1903 shows him as a chemist in Hotel Street. Mr Goodess was born in Leicester in 1864 and at the time of the 1871 census, when he was aged 6, was living with his parents, Joseph and Sarah Goodess, in Junior Street. His father’s occupation at the time was as a warehouseman. He was still with his parents at the time of the 1881 census when his father’s occupation was shown as office clerk. Frederick was given as a scholar. By 1891 he was married (in January of that year at a Wesleyan chapel in Boston) and the couple were living at 1 Friar Lane and Frederick’s occupation was entered as “Chemist & Manager, Medical Dispensary”. The couple had a boarder living with them who was shown as a chemist’s assistant. In 1901 Mr Goodess was living in Hotel Street at the chemist’s premises which is shown in the 1903 directory. Shown with him in the census was his wife, Mary Ann, and a six year old daughter, Muriel. The household also consisted of various assistants, servants, a housekeeper and a lodger. The census of 1911 shows Mr Goodess residing at the 25 Market Street chemist’s shop with his wife and sister in law. His occupation is entered as “Pharmacist & Dispensing Chemist”. The 1921 census also shows him at the Market Street premises, with his wife and daughter, Muriel, and a housekeeper. His entry in Kelly’s directory of 1925 still gives his address as 25 Market Street, but the branch at Uppingham Road is no longer included. The directory gives Albert Edward Davidson as a chemist at the Uppingham Road premises. The 1928 telephone directory gives “Goodess City Pharmacy Ltd.” at 25 Market Street and a second entry for Mr Goodess gives his home address as Victoria House, Highfield Street. Mr Goodess and his wife appear to have retired to Norfolk a little later. He died on 9th January 1949, aged 84, and his probate record gives his address as The Limes, Catfield, which is in the Norfolk Broads. The Leicester Mercury of 25th February 1935 featured a piece written by Mr Goodess about his schooldays in Victorian Leicester 60 years before. He first attended the infants department of the Great Meeting in Bond Street and when older, transferred to the larger boys school next door “under the headmastership of one Mr James Hepworth, a man to be feared, especially by slackers and wrongdoers. He was a short, very stout man, with a short grey beard. He believed strongly in the cane, and plenty of it”. Mr Goodess wrote that rarely a week passed but some boy would play truant “especially…if the May or October Fair were here, or a circus were visiting the town with its mile long procession, and the clown Bimbo on stilts, was racing the tramcars up the London Road”. Or perhaps the mounted band of a regiment was parading through the town that day. There would surely be a few boys missing or arriving very late and Mr Goodess said “some of their excuses were very plausible and original, but they didn’t wash with Pa Hepworth, who would be in his glory administering so many stripes with the cane on each hand or each culprit, and given before the whole school as a deterrent”. The boys had various tricks for counteracting the effects of the cane and one such was to split the cane, (kept in the headmaster’s desk) at the top with a knife so that when next used it would often split right down “to the accompaniment of the ribald laughter of the boys. This made Mr Hepworth very mad, and a lad was at once sent out to buy a new one, with which he laid on extra good and hard”. Despite all this Mr Hepworth took infinite pains as the examinations approached, more especially those for the South Kensington Science and Art Certificate. Mr Goodess well remembered going with a party of boys one or two days a week to his private house in Garendon Street or Upper Kent Street soon after six o’clock in the morning for botany lessons, and a walk round Evington seeking specimens. He also remembered fights between schools, which were quite common. After school dismissal a crowd would rush off to meet the boys of the opposing school, armed with sticks, stones and what were known as “toggies”. These were scarves in the end of which were tied stones or pieces of wood, and were whirled round and round. “Woe betide the boy who got a crack with one. We had our individual leaders and I remember one nicknamed Curly Mills, who was a fearless fighter. After a few years at the Great Meeting school Mr Goodess was transferred to a new Board School at Elbow Lane (now demolished). He eventually won a free scholarship, in a competitive examination, to the Wyggeston Boys School, which was then under the headship of the renowned Rev. James Went. The scholarship was for three years, with no school fees and all books found. It was a marvellous uplift to him to be suddenly introduced to the Classics and Foreign Languages, but the most fascinating of all was the chemistry and physics laboratory, and Mr Goodess felt this influenced him in eventually taking up the career of a chemist, in which he was very successful.

Another flaw is if they don't score but get a corner when it should be free kick to the defending team because they don't check it if no goal is scored

That's why most LCFC fans think out team is shit then with Rodgers and Ruud both blaming the team being bargain basement rubbish when in reality they're top notch and just poorly manage.

Maybe Forest and Derby have fallen out.

Pot and Kettle come to mind.

https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-wednesday-boss-danny-rohl-linked-with-surprise-move-in-potential-southampton-and-leicester-city-blow-5127534 Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl could reportedly make the final shortlist for the Rangers vacancy. The 36-year-old appears to be on the verge of leaving Hillsborough, having intensified speculation with indicative comments on his future. He has spoken of his time as Owls boss in the past tense and insisted owner Dejphon Chansiri is aware of the decision he has made on his future. Championship-bound clubs Southampton and Leicester City have both been linked with Rohl, as have Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig.

Wasn't a big game changer for us obviously depends on how well you use the cash which we failed to do.

The best way to end it is to stop posing in it. Now I've helped keeping it on the front page.

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/inside-king-power-stadium-statement-10180700 By Jordan Blackwell Evans overlooked as Page gets England call The shortlist for the Premier League 2 player of the season has been published and City forward Jake Evans can perhaps count himself unfortunate not to have been included among the eight nominees. The 16-year-old scored 10 goals in 12 starts in the regular season, with only Chelsea’s Donnell McNeilly, who is nominated, scoring more non-penalty goals. Evans also scored for City in the first round of the play-offs, in their 5-3 aggregate defeat to Southampton. Perhaps it’s good news for City though, that such an obvious talent is not getting as much exposure as he should be doing for his record at such a young age. There’s no place for either Evans or Jeremy Monga in the England Under-17s squad for the European Championships later this month, although that’s perhaps so they can remain with City and continue to feature in Premier League matches. The club will have representation at the tournament though with box-to-box midfielder Louis Page included in the squad. He’s been a regular in the team through qualifying. But one player has already been successful. Defender Ben Grist, loaned to Worksop Town in January, helped the club win promotion to the National League North as they beat Guiseley 2-1 in the play-off final. They made it a double a few days later, lifting the Sheffield and Hallamshire Senior Cup.

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/inside-king-power-stadium-statement-10180700 By Jordan Blackwell Statement released over Vardy tribute It’s the big story of the week and potentially of the season: this Sunday, Vardy plays his final match for City at the King Power Stadium. Everybody associated with the club will want to be the perfect sign-off, and so for Ruud van Nistelrooy and the City squad, it means ensuring the number nine gets as many chances to get goal number 200 as possible. In the stands, fans will want to pay their tributes, but supporters group Union FS have released a statement saying they will not be able to produce the display they had wanted to. The group have previously organised tifos in the Kop and around the King Power Stadium, including for Vardy at the end of last season, when it wasn’t clear if the striker would remain with the club. This year, they say their request has been denied because the club themselves are planning a tribute. A smaller tribute in the Union FS section of the Kop was also rejected, with the fan group feeling the club’s counter-proposal “would not do Vardy justice”. Announcing their “disappointment”, Union FS said: “We honoured Vardy at the end of last season, when it was unclear as to whether he would ever play for us again. “But the man deserves unending thanks from us for the memories he has brought to our city since 2012, and we had proposed a full-stand display in the Kop to do just that. “Our request was rejected on the basis that the club will move forward with a club-funded, agency-provided display to cover the whole stadium. Our position will never change: tifo by fans, not hired hands.” As well as a display before the match, further tributes are planned after full-time against Ipswich, with the club set to recommend fans stay in their seats to join in the goodbye to Vardy.

Let's hope he makes a speedy and successful recover. Probably not the right time but I can't help myself as it annoys me more than it should. I've been saying for so long now not flagging for an obvious off-side will lead to an unnecessary injury. I don't blame the Assistant Ref but the law makers.
