I think it shows that deep down many more fans are angry about the state of the club and this was them venting at a 'neutral' situation as they find it difficult to be angry with KP directly probably to do with what Vichai achieved and then his untimely and tragic death.

As far as I can recall Leicester fans have always been more vocal about issues like this, nothing gets them more angry than a dodgy ref or an 'in your face player'

As someone who worked with apprentices and young graduates I don't believe that. If you're hard working and ambitious most organisations will welcome you. The people that are despised young or old are those putting nothing and expecting everything out.

When I hit 50 there was a drive to get people like me to retire early and take their work place pension to free up jobs for the younger generation. So lots of businesses took advantage of this and made people hitting 50 redundant. I was made redundant from my Snr Management role and ended up trying to find a job even part-time but I was too old or over skilled no one wanted to take a chance on me. After 100s 0f applications I got a part time job with LCCC but was again made redundant after a couple of years. Even low level jobs I couldn't get as they assumed I'd leave if something better came along, for jobs suited to my skill level I was too old. I only worked on and off then until 65 living on my work pension which was a bit of a struggle as i didn't qualify for unemployment due to my work pension lump sum. So at least I wasn't a drain on the taxpayer or contributing to the low productivity. People assume because you're old and not working your well off. The advice I was given to take my work pension early was very bad. I'm not even convinced it created more jobs for the young as companies used it to re-organise and reduce overheads .

You can't really blame the club for this outcome whatever their motives maybe if only 1850 fans completed the survey then the fans that didn't bother are the ones to blame. The abstainers have given the club the ammunition to do what they prefer they must be delighted. I mean I filled it in and don't/wont/cant stand and voted for SS.

As far as Governments of all colours are concerned the East Midland is a nonentity and Leicester is down the list after Notts/Derby. All the money goes either south or the North West. Soulsby doesn't help with his isolationist agenda with his 'President of the City of Leicester' persona. Back in the 60s Leicester was the go to place for new initiatives, 1st local radio, 1st multi- story / supermarket (Lee Circle), 1st Traffic Wardens after London, all the big entertainment acts had Leicester on their itinerary. Historically One of the first English Parliaments, Thomas Cook, In the 50s/60s Leicester was the 2nd most Prosperous city and the Cleanest in Europe.

For its size Leicester is one of if not the worst connect City in England. https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/trains-cities-connections-leicester-birmingham-rail-best-worst-a9061091.html#:~:text=Leicester is the worst-connected big city in Britain in,was evaluated on four criteria. Yes, studies have indicated that Leicester is the worst-connected big city in Britain in terms of rail links, with a narrower range of train services than even some villages in Cornwall. Here's a breakdown of why Leicester is considered poorly connected: Limited Direct Rail Links: Leicester has regular direct rail links only to Birmingham, Nottingham, and Sheffield, and only three daily trains to Leeds, with the first one leaving very late. Lack of Wider Connections: While Leicester is on the East Midlands line to London, it has lost its wider connections to other major cities. Poor Score in Rail Connectivity Study: In a study by The Independent, Leicester scored the lowest among the 12 largest cities outside London, with a score of 6.5, while Birmingham came top with a score of 18. Criteria for the Study: The study evaluated cities based on: how many of the other 11 big cities could be reached by a direct service; how many fast trains to London there were each hour; whether trams or a metro service served the city's main station; and whether there was a transport link to the nearest airport.

Read our privacy policy Leicester is the worst-connected big city in Britain in terms of rail links. Research by The Independent shows that the East Midlands city has a narrower range of train services than a village in Cornwall. Each of the 12 largest cities outside London was evaluated on four criteria. First, from that city how many of the other 11 are served by regular direct rail links? Next, the number of fast train departures each hour from the city to London. Whether there is direct access from the city’s main rail station to a tram or metro network? And whether there is a connection to the nearest airport? One point was awarded for a train, metro or tram, and half for a bus link. While Leicester has three nonstop trains an hour to London, to major cities outside the capital it has regular direct links only to Birmingham, Nottingham and Sheffield. There are three daily trains to Leeds, but they are of little use to travellers as the first does not leave until shortly before 8pm. The city is on the East Midlands line from London St Pancras to South Yorkshire, but has long lost its wider connections. Leicester was, ironically, the original headquarters for the pioneer of organised rail travel, Thomas Cook. A statue of the founder of the tourism empire stands adjacent to the city’s station. Nicky Gardner, co-author of Europe by Rail, said: “Prior to the Beeching cuts in the 1960s, Leicester had multiple direct daily trains to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool. “The downgrading of the Midland main line curbed Leicester’s connectivity, with the closure of the Great Central further depleting the departure lists.” Scott Knowles, chief executive of East Midlands Chamber, said: “Rail links are an essential element of the regional transport infrastructure. “As major contributors to the UK economy, and being located in the heart of the country, Leicester needs and deserves the best possible transport links. “By the government’s own figures, for many years the east midlands has received only 60 per cent of the national average per head when it comes to infrastructure investment. “This has to change if Leicester and the wider region is to realise its fantastic potential.“ The small Cornish village of Par now has better connections than Leicester – even though it has only one-200th of the population. Passengers from Par, a small station inland from Fowey, enjoy hourly fast services to London and direct connections to seven of the 12 biggest cities outside the capital. A sleeper train runs six nights a week to Paddington. Cardiff is the second-worst connected big city in Britain. It scores overall as badly as Leicester, but has more regular fast trains and direct links to a wider range of cities outside London: Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol and Nottingham. In addition, a new train operator, Grand Union, plans an extra hourly service to London that would improve the showing for the Welsh capital. Birmingham has by far the best links by rail of any city outside London, with direct connections from New Street station to all 11 of the other big cities (as well as Par in Cornwall). It also has three Virgin Trains departures each hour to London Euston, in addition to half-hourly departures from Snow Hill to Marylebone station in the capital. There are frequent trains to Birmingham International for the city’s airport, and the West Midlands Metro now stops outside New Street. Manchester was some distance behind in second place. It also has three Virgin Trains each hour to London, though no connection with Leicester. But it earnt points for an airport link and access to the tram network. Newcastle and Edinburgh share third place. The Scottish capital fared much better than Glasgow, in joint ninth place with Liverpool, because Edinburgh has more frequent trains to London, and immediate access at Haymarket station to the tram line – including a direct link to the airport. Sheffield is fifth, with Bristol and Leeds sharing sixth position. Nottingham takes eighth place. Liverpool and Glasgow can both claim that they should have scored more highly: a direct link between the two cities was due to start in 2018 but has yet to begin. The best connected station in London is St Pancras, which in the 1960s was a candidate for demolition. Besides its original purpose as the terminus for the East Midlands main line, St Pancras also offers high-speed Southeastern services to Kent, Eurostar links to Paris, Brussels and the south of France, and Thameslink trains to Cambridge, Brighton and the airport stations for Gatwick and Luton. When combined with King’s Cross, to which St Pancras is adjacent, the pair comprise by far the best rail hub in Britain. The 12 cities and their scores 1. Birmingham (18) 2.

Midfielders are always going to find it difficult to break through especially ball playing ones. Wingers will be less of a risk to any loan club.

You have to play in the men's league to get that you wont get it from the U21s.

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/eight-players-leicester-city-can-10026686 Eight players Leicester City can build around if they are relegated With Leicester City in a perilous position in the Premier League table, they have to consider what their squad might look like should they fall into the Championship ByJordan Blackwell 08:50, 15 MAR 2025Updated08:51, 15 MAR 2025 As much as Leicester City want to stay in the Premier League this season, they have to, given their standing, have half an eye on a potential relegation and a campaign in the Championship. City would want to come straight back up, and would be in a better position to do so if they planned ahead. Squad building will perhaps be the biggest part of that planning. They need to establish which positions they would need to strengthen and that will be determined by the positions they retain players in. It can be expected that quite a few players move on, either because City need sales to get themselves in decent financial shape regarding Profit and Sustainability Rules, or because they have players reluctant to drop into the Championship. But there will be a good handful who stay too. City lost 13 senior players the last time they were relegated, and if it’s the same number again, they would leave themselves a decent squad of 15. For a start, here’s eight players who seem very likely to stay in the event of relegation and who can form a core part of the group if City do fall into the Championship. Jakub Stolarczyk After his performances this season, plenty of supporters would be happy to entrust Stolarczyk with being the club’s number one should Mads Hermansen move on. Especially if City go down, it feels like the Pole would be ready to be the main man between the sticks. Woyo Coulibaly Only signed this January, it would be a surprise if Woyo Coulibaly was to leave so soon. Fans have only seen a few glimpses of the French full-back so far, but he looks eager to get involved and keen to attack. He’d been playing in Serie B with Parma before earning promotion last season, so is not unaccustomed to playing in the second tier either. Ben Nelson A rotation option during last season’s Championship triumph, and now back from injury and in the Oxford squad as they battle for survival, Nelson would be a contender to start if City are relegated. The young centre-back has shown he has a bright future ahead of him and it would be the time to show faith in that potential. Oliver Skipp A £20m summer signing, it’s safe to say this season hasn’t gone to plan for Skipp. He left Tottenham for minutes, but can’t even get onto City’s bench at the moment. Having signed a five-year contract, it’s unlikely he will be going anywhere. But in the Championship, he can establish himself as a key player. He was in the Championship’s team of the year when he helped Norwich win the title while on loan with the Canaries. Abdul Fatawu Fatawu is in the same bracket as Hermansen and Bilal El Khannouss as having the right mix of talent and potential to be playing outside of the second tier. However, his ACL injury likely means he remains with City as he will still be in the latter stages of his rehab during the summer transfer window, putting off potential suitors. Will Alves Getting his first taste of senior football with Cardiff, Alves has shown flashes of talent, enough to be in the first-team picture if City do drop down. Hopefully he will be more confident and more weathered to senior football come the start of the new season, and can really kick on. Kasey McAteer He’s not featuring at the moment, but it would not be a surprise if McAteer comes back into the fold should City drop down a division. He was deputy to Fatawu and Stephy Mavididi last season, but popped up with a few goals. He’d never previously played higher than League Two before that, so it was a decent campaign for a relatively-inexperienced player. He may be able to offer even more next term. Jake Evans Ruud van Nistelrooy has said prodigious forward Evans will be in the first team come pre-season no matter which division City are in, with the 16-year-old then handed the opportunity to show he deserves to stay there. The top scorer in Premier League 2 despite his age, it seems likely he will pass any tests with flying colours and be a part of the senior squad, especially if City drop into the Championship. There’s plenty of his team-mates in the Under-21s who will also be contenders to form part of the squad if City are in the second tier, especially Jeremy Monga, but there are doubts over his long-term future at the club as Man City circle the winger.
