There's no more money it's just moved around depending on the nature of the current government. The poor will stay poor or get poorer, the rich will stay rich or get richer and the rest will continue to tread water the pace of which will depend on how high the water level is. Of course they'll be exception where a number of people will move up or down within those admittedly crude divisions. Seems to me in my lifetime anyway it's always been like that.

Story of Leicester The Evington Footway, which runs from London Road junction with Evington Road, is thought to roughly follow the line of a Roman road that linked Leicester with Huntingdon and Colchester. This may be part of a much longer route known as Via Devana that connected Colchester with Chester. Archaeologists think the Roman gravel and cobble surface may survive under parts of the footpath. Maps from 1830 show this area as rural with orchards and windmills. By 1870 however most of the houses along London Road had been built. The footpath was preserved as a right of way, so limiting development on either side. New houses were built facing the street with their large back gardens screened from the footpath by high walls. Further development along the footpath took place around 1880 with the building of terraced cottages in the large rear gardens of two properties along London Road - Victoria Terrace and Oxford Avenue Second image: London Road in 1866. #StoryofLeicester

That's fair enough but if a City is playing against another City then I think it's just lazy and disrespectful to the fans supporting the other City who refer to their team as the city, so why not use their official nickname of Citizens. The Merc recently had an editorial on Man City's 'crimes' and how it affects us I found it very confusing reading it when they exclusively used city for Manchester.

We always raise our support when feeling the ref is anti LCFC or just plain crap.

I don't know, I've not heard them called that for a few seasons now, just City even in the Merc they refer to them as City and us as Leicester which I find very confusing when reading.

OS A Good Point, Say Miquel LCFC Women Amandine Miquel wants to build defensive consistency after LCFC Women dug in deep to earn a point against Aston Villa. Foxes Claim A Point With A Clean Sheet At Villa - LCFC Women drew 0-0 with Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon - The Foxes earned their first clean sheet of the season at Villa Park - Amandine Miquel shared her thoughts post-match The Foxes put in a hard-fought performance on Sunday afternoon at Villa Park, as they held the hosts to a goalless draw with the spoils being shared in the Barclays Women's Super League. In particular, the defensive shift was one to be proud of, and one that the French Manager looks to build consistency on, but she admits the forward areas were lacking in an attempt to steal all three points on their travels. "It's a good point, we wanted to get more clean sheets and we got a first today," Miquel told the media. "It wasn't perfect, both in and out of possession, but we are happy to get a point here at a tough place. The Foxes took a point from the Villans on Sunday. "The two first games of the season, against Liverpool and Arsenal were very good, then against Crystal Palace it wasn't very good, so we knew we needed to be better. Now we need to be more consistent defensively. "They understand their roles but it might take some time, but we are happy with the point today." Having only scored once in the WSL this season, when Jutta Rantala found the net against Liverpool on the opening day, Miquel understands that this area of the pitch needs work, but was keen to state the learning process is still at the early stages. It was the first thing we wanted to focus on when we arrived - conceding less goals. Amandine Miquel She added: "There's not enough movement, and we don't always attack the ball once we get it out wide. We had some good crosses but no one on the end so we need to make sure we can make the difference defensively but on the transition also. "It was the first thing we wanted to focus on when we arrived - conceding less goals. But we still want to score more, and today wasn't perfect but there's positives to take. "I think we need to work offensively and work with connections in the attacking areas so we need to work on that and remain strong defensively."

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/leicester-city-star-sent-home-9629151 Leicester City star sent home early from international duty In a boost to City, the Dane will get a break before the trip to Southampton this weekend after interim boss Lars Knudsen made the decision to send him back to the club early ByJordan Blackwell 16:11, 13 OCT 2024Updated16:15, 13 OCT 2024 Victor Kristiansen should be well rested ahead of Leicester City’s trip to Southampton this Saturday (3pm kick-off) with the left-back granted an early return from international duty. Kristiansen, Steve Cooper’s first-choice on the left side of defence so far this season, has been sent home by Denmark’s interim boss Lars Knudsen following the 1-0 Nations League defeat to Spain on Saturday evening. Kristiansen was booked in the match and is therefore suspended for Tuesday’s game against Switzerland. Rather than keep him around, Knudsen is ensuring the player gets a break. “They (Kristiansen and fellow suspended player Morten Hjulmand) travel home, get some rest and get ready for what awaits in their clubs,” Knudsen, the former City set-piece coach, said. “In a program where there are a lot of matches and pressure, I think it's good for them to have a mental break once in a while. “They probably have to deal with the physical, but mentally it's really healthy to get a breather. It's good for them to have a break.” The City defender had a tough outing on Saturday, playing 90 minutes at wing-back and facing perhaps the game’s most talented teenager in Lamine Yamal. Reports from Denmark suggested Kristiansen struggled, but he did put in a few crunching challenges on the Barcelona winger, letting him know he was in for a difficult evening too. Kristiansen said: “It's just going up and saying: ‘Hey, I'm in the fight too. I'm not afraid of you.’ You may have a tendency to back off a player like that a lot, but when you get the opportunity to make a good fair duel that might hurt a little, then it's about seizing it. “It is always difficult to define success when you are faced with a skilful winger. You can win all duels for 89 minutes, and then he can score at the end, and then it will be the same. “Spain made it easier for me by letting Pedro Porro overlap so we could release Yamal and I could take over his (Porro’s) runs. So I wasn't into that clear one-on-one situation that much. “He is a skilled, skilled player and he is really, really good at a young age. He will be one of the best players for many years.” Whether he had been sent home early or not, Kristiansen would have been expected to start against the Saints in what is a crucial match at the bottom of the table this weekend. The 21-year-old has played nearly every minute in the Premier League this season, with the Dane and James Justin occupying the full-back slots, keeping Ricardo Pereira out of the side.

Dundee loanee Sammy Braybrooke. Image: SNS By George Cran October 14 2024, 7:00am James Maddison’s experience working with Tony Docherty tipped the balance for Sammy Braybrooke as he mulled over summer signing offers. The England U/20 international was heading out on loan from parent club Leicester after returning from a long-term knee injury. He had options to choose from but it was Dundee who won the battle for his signature. And Braybrooke revealed the impact a loan at Aberdeen had on James Maddison’s career is something that caught his imagination as he contemplated his summer move. Maddison’s career has since brought seven England caps and an FA Cup in 2021. Braybrooke trained with the playmaker as he pushed for his first-team debut in 2022. James Maddison curls in a free-kick for Aberdeen. “I spoke to the gaffer about that. He said he worked with Madders at Aberdeen and said he really enjoyed it,” the 20-year-old midfielder revealed. “I think that is one thing I started to realise was that people have come up here, done well. “They have then gone back and their career has just gone skywards. “So hopefully I can be next.” Youri Tielemens Braybrooke has made sure to pick up as much as he can from more experienced players. And he’s had opportunity at Leicester to learn from some big talents, admitting it opened his eyes as a young player. “I have played with some unbelievable ones who have come and gone like James Maddison and Youri Tielemans as well as ones that are still there like Wilfred Ndidi,” he added. Sammy Braybrooke on debut for Leicester in 2022. Image: PA “There is no-one better to learn from than internationals. “They show you the standards day in, day out, they show you what it takes to become one of the best in the league. “I think when you first train with them it is an eye opener. You might think you are not that far off it but it is still enough to make me go, ‘Wow! That’s the level’. “They are always supportive and help you through it.” First manager Braybrooke has enjoyed a positive start to life at Dundee, though the form table could make better reading. He’s keen to improve on his early days and already has an eye on a trip to Celtic Park at the end of this month. That will see him come up against the manager who gave him his senior debut for Leicester in 2022. “Brendan Rodgers was massive for me,” Braybrooke added. Braybrooke gets a foot in against Aberdeen. Image: Rob Casey/SNS “He was the first manager I had going into the first team. “He was really good with youngsters, he showed a lot of belief in me and gave me my debut. “I trained with him loads and he is a proper good coach. He knows how to coach youngsters and knows what they need to improve. “He definitely helped me get better, watching clips and pulling me in to say you did this and that – he was a big influence. “Celtic, Rangers, there are no bigger games in the league and they are the ones you look forward to. “You want to show yourself on the biggest stage.” Also found here - https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/unseen-james-maddison-connection-inspiring-33885187

Not strictly PL but they appear to be the clubs that have changed their nickname, US, Chelsea, Forest, even Man City are rarely referred to as the Citizens now being the City.

A bit of a club theme.

Considering they’ve conceded 7 goals in 3 matches we’re not testing them at all.

OS Narrow Spain Defeat For Danish Foxes Internationals Victor Kristiansen and Jannik Vestergaard played for Denmark in a close encounter with Spain, with the European champions coming out on top late on. - Victor Kristiansen and Jannik Vestergaard played the full game in Denmark's 1-0 loss to Spain - Mads Hermansen was an unused substitute at Enrique Roca de Murcia - Bilal El Khannouss made a second half appearance in Morocco's convincing 5-0 win over the Central African Republic Three Leicester City players, in the form of Kristiansen, Vestergaard and Mads Hermansen faced tough competition in the third group stage game of the UEFA Nations League, as they looked to continue their 100 per cent start to life in League A Group 4. Wins against Switzerland and Serbia had got them going, but Saturday evening brought a different type of challenge in the form of a Spanish side who had four points from of a possible six already collected. The two Leicester defenders were named in the starting XI, with Hermansen on the bench, and managed to keep out the hosts in Murcia until the final 10 minutes of the game, when Spain's persistence paid off; Martin Zubimendi scoring the decisive goal. Unable to hang on to what would've been an impressive clean sheet, Denmark drop to second in the standings but have the chance to get back to winning ways when they face bottom-placed Switzerland on Tuesday evening at Kybunpark with a 7:45pm kick-off. Expand photo Jannik Vestergaard Denmark have six points from three games after defeat to Spain. The only other Fox to feature on Saturday's international stage was summer signing Bilal El Khannouss, who was a second half substitute in Morocco's emphatic 5-0 win over the Central African Republic. Azzedine Ounahi scored a first-half brace as the hosts went into the break with a healthy four-goal lead, before El Khannouss replaced Eliesse Ben Seghir at Honneur Stadium to see out a comfortable victory in the Africa Cup of Nations qualification stage. Saturday's win for the 14th-placed country in the FIFA rankings ensures Morocco keep their winning streak after three games, as they remain top of Group B; five points ahead of second-placed Gabon. The return fixture against the Central African Republic comes on Tuesday evening with an 8pm kick-off. The weekend's action for City's players concludes with Greece vs. Ireland on Sunday evening (7:45pm kick-off), when Kasey McAteer has the chance to stop the Greek's momentum after beating England at Wembley Stadium.

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/managing-club-much-harder-playing-9627308 'Managing a club is much harder than playing - and everyone wants me to fail' Leicester City old boy and arch wind-up merchant Robbie Savage gives an insight into life as a non-league manager at Macclesfield and the challenges it brings ByKeith WalesCVS Editor - Midland Sport 15:05, 12 OCT 2024 Robbie Savage has opened up on the demands of being the head coach of a non-league football club - and claims it is far harder than his days as a Premier League footballer. The controversial pundit and classic wind-up merchant for many supporters starred for several clubs during his playing career, including Leicester City, Birmingham City and Derby County after coming through the Manchester United academy with the likes of David Beckham, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes and other members of the famed "Class of 92". He is now head coach at Macclesfield. A shareholder, board member and former director of football with the Silkmen, Savage took over as head coach in the summer - and has now lifted the lid on some of the challenges he faces while also working for the BBC on the popular weekly 606 fans' phone-in with Chris Sutton. In his latest column for the Mirror, Savage says: "Many seem to believe that managing in the Northern Premier League is a part-time gig. I can assure you it's far more challenging than any other football-related task I've undertaken. "The pressure, the anxiety, the solitary hours spent scouting, watching videos, conducting training sessions, interacting with players individually, arranging ticket allocations and prices for cup ties (which I'm obliged to approve as a director) and the matches themselves can consume up to 90 hours a week. At least, as a manager, I know that if we falter on the field, it's my responsibility. "When I return home and look in the mirror, there's no one else to point fingers at but myself if I select the wrong starting XI, make poor substitutions or devise incorrect tactics." Savage also admits that doing the manager's job first hand has made him rethink his attitude to previous bosses at Moss Rose since he first became involved with the club back in 2020. He explains: "If I had my time again in my previous role at Macclesfield (director of football, with ultimate responsibility for hiring and firing managers), I would not have changed the 24/7 intensity. But now I know how hard it is to be a manager, I would have cut down on the gesticulating, shaking my head and being a back-seat driver. "Now I’ve tasted life in the dugout, I can say, hand on heart, that a win as manager is far more rewarding than any win I enjoyed as a player – and that includes winning the League Cup final at Wembley.

"You realise that, as manager, you are responsible for results which will dictate the futures of players, management and club staff behind the scenes. It’s a huge burden, but I wouldn’t swap all the pressure for anything and I believe I will be a Football League manager one day. "And here’s the bottom line: It’s not about playing out from the back, it’s not about 3-5-2 or 4-4-2 formations… it’s all about results. End of story. "My sons keep telling me to get my heart-rate monitored, and they are right. At times I fear it must go through the roof." Savage was a divisive character as a player, falling out with fans at former clubs Birmingham City and Derby after becoming established at Leicester City under Martin O'Neill, where he won the League Cup. However, he says captaining four top-flight clubs means he has plenty of managers to call on for advice about his new job. He adds: "I’ve learned that if you shout and scream at players, you are only doing it for yourself. If you spend your half-time team talk, or post-match chat in the dressing room bawling out young, ambitious athletes and telling them where they have gone wrong, they will switch off. Messages have to be short and on-point. "I’ve also learned that a lot of people out there want Macclesfield to fail because they want me to fail – but that is fuel to my fire. Fortunately, the season has gone well so far: We are top of the table and now just 90 minutes away from a place in the FA Cup first round."
