But not from the same league and a direct competitor.

They'll always be reasons to loan but if it's a belief you can't just turn that off just to suit a particular situation. I just think it's fundamentally wrong not just the developing of competitors players but using them in games in the same competition you're both in.

So they nick our best academy prospect and then expect a club like ours to develop their academy prospects. I'm a strong believer in banning PL to PL loans it just encourages the sick 6 to stockpile players. It should be used to help lower league clubs to develop their best prospects so they can best use them or sell them for a bigger fee.

As the 'extras' to the stadium expansion have only got outline planning approval it was always going to be subject to change and they've still got the EON building to integrate into the plan.

Yeah you’re right just doing a bit of stirring as the forum’s gone slow and moody 🫤

https://sportwitness.co.uk/leicester-leeds-hull-city-appreciate-free-agent-player-make-decision-olympics/ Leicester, Leeds and Hull City ‘appreciate’ free agent – Player to make decision after Olympics By Naveen Ullal -27th July 2024 SHARE Leicester City, Leeds United, Hull City and Burnley are all in the picture to sign Brahima Diarra this summer, according to Foot Mercato. The 21-year-old hasn’t made an appearance since he featured for Huddersfield Town against Watford in February. His game time was limited last season as he was restricted to 719 minutes from 23 games. Diarra has been without a club since his deal with the Terriers expired at the end of last month. It’s claimed the Mali U23 international’s status as a free agent has been ‘appreciated’ by Leicester, Leeds, Hull City, Burnley and Chievo Verona. As well as the Foxes and the Championship trio, teams from Belgium’s top flight, a top Serie A side and two Ligue 1 sides are also chasing the midfielder. Diarra is currently in Paris, representing his country at the Olympics. He already featured in Mali’s 1-1 draw against Israel earlier this week and Foot Mercato say the player was able to ‘showcase his qualities’. The midfielder’s aim is to impress at the Olympics and then make a decision on his next destination. Leicester, Leeds, Hull City, Burnley and other interested parties would have to wait until Mali finish their campaign in Paris to find out about Diarra’s decision.

Cantwell (26) was a player of high demand a few seasons back, impressing in Premier League action for Norwich, but with relegation and a difficult relation to the Canaries establishment, he moved to Rangers in 2022. Todd Cantwell might not be the player Leicester fans would see as the ideal signing at this point, but he is one that is creative and can play well in a set up either just behind the forward or at a flank, if needed. Listening to Steve Cooper in his recent post match interviews, he looks eager to get a few more bodies into the camp and the positions Todd Cantwell can play in are were Leicester are looking for options. Cooper has a relation to Cantwell from the past, being in the England set up when Cantwell played for their younger teams, earlier being capped at U.17 and U.21 level. We believe Leicester will have a fight on until the very last day of the transfer window to try to get the balance correctly with moves in and out. Harry Souttar was not in the Leicester squad yesterday vs Palermo. Reports suggests that he is close to a move away, Rangers being one of the clubs linked in the past and said to have showed interest in his services. A recent reports from Fraser Gillan, says Souttar have a number of options to discuss, possibly also having Rangers among those, but at this point still seeing Sheffield United and Stoke as the top chasers for the Australian international.

I’ve been a tad disappointed with Alves granted he’s not had many minutes but he seems to have lost his ‘flair’ and is playing a more methodical and neutered style.

Hopefully he’s playing Soumare so he’s fit to sell.

I dint realise that they're only a Series B team.

https://www.wigantoday.net/sport/football/premier-league-signing-concludes-18-month-chase-admits-wigan-athletic-chief-4718697 Shaun Maloney has revealed Wigan Athletic's capture of exciting forward Silko Thomas can be traced back 18 months. The 20-year-old, who came through the ranks at Chelsea, has joined Latics on a season-long loan from Premier League new-boys Leicester City. But had Maloney had his way, Thomas would have joined Latics last summer when he left Chelsea, instead of joining up with the Foxes. Silko Thomas puts pen to paper on a season-long loan from Leicester "The backstory to this is very interesting...I knew all about him when I came here 18 months ago," said the Latics boss. "I'd already watched Silko in the Youth Champions League, so I knew all about him, and the attributes he had. "The situation we were going through last summer...if we'd been more stable, I would have tried to sign him before Leicester got him. "He had an amazing season last year with Leicester's Under-21s, Stevie (Gormal) our head of recruitment went watching him a number of times, and we could see him progress through the year. "To add contact to that position, we've been really unfortunate with the injury to Michael, who is also super talented, and will be back in a few months. "We've also had some knocks with Jonny Smith and Calum McManaman but, even without all that, we needed to add another one to improve the competition. “When Silko became available, we made sure we did it quite quickly. He is a very exciting player who can play on the left and right-wing, as well as in the No.10 position, and I believe he will be well-suited to our playing style." Thomas has played at the Brick Community Stadium before - for Leicester Under-21s in their 6-1 defeat here last season. "It's a very proud moment for me and my family," said Thomas. "It was easy for me to come here knowing the manager has wanted me for over 18 months. I want to do my best and show everyone what I am capable of." Latics sporting director Gregor Rioch added: "Silko is someone who we have admired for a long time. "We have worked very hard over the summer to get him here and we believe that Silko will be a fantastic addition to our squad. I am looking forward to seeing how he performs in a Latics shirt this season."

Not good news but likely to become historical. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/leicester-news/leicester-hospitals-transformation-thrown-doubt-9436944 Leicester hospitals transformation thrown into doubt as new Government presses pause Labour has accused the Conservatives of creating an "entirely fictional timetable" for the delivery of the new hospitals and of setting out "an unfunded programme" ByHannah RichardsonLocal Democracy Reporter 14:00, 26 JUL 2024 Wes Streeting has paused the New Hospitals Programme through which Leicester hospitals were set to receive huge investment Leicester's once-in-a-generation hospital transformation plans have been thrown into doubt. The city's three hospitals were selected in 2020 to form part of the previous Conservative's 40 new hospitals pledge. The Government-led "New Hospitals Programme" was intended to modernise hospitals and create buildings and services that were fit for the future, with a target completion date of 2030. While the precise figures were still to be announced, the scheme was set to see hundreds of millions of pounds of investment given to the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, which runs the hospitals. However, new health secretary Wes Streeting announced on Tuesday (July 23) that he had asked Government officials to "urgently" review the pledge, to determine whether there is the money for it and whethr the 2030 target was realistic. Speaking in the House of Commons, he told MPs Labour would not "play fast and loose with public finances". He said: "It's painfully clear that the previous Government's new hospital programme, that said they would deliver 40 new hospitals by 2030, is not deliverable in that time frame. I want to see the new hospitals programme completed, but I am not prepared to offer people false hope about how soon they will benefit from the facilities that they deserve. "That's why I've asked officials as a matter of urgency to report to me on the degree to which the programme is funded, along with a realistic timetable for delivery. We will not play fast and loose with public finances." He accused the previous Conservative administration of creating an "entirely fictional timetable" for the delivery of the new hospitals, and of setting out "an unfunded programme". UHL was intending to use the money to fund a series of much-needed improvements to its estate. These included a new women’s and family health hospital at Leicester Royal Infirmary (LRI), with a new, state-of-the-art building to be built on the site to house it, the trust previously told LeicestershireLive. Also on the cards was a dedicated children’s hospital created in a newly refurbished and expanded Kensington Building. The Windsor Building at LRI had also been earmarked for an extension which would create a new space for the pharmacy, clinical genetics and immunology. The midwifery-led maternity unit which is currently based at St Mary's, in Melton, was expected to move to Leicester General. Its home would be in the Coleman Centre, which would undergo a renovation. Critical care services – medical care for people who have life-threatening injuries and illnesses – were also expected to be expanded at both the LRI and Glenfield Hospital. A new community diagnostics facility was also on the cards for Leicester General Hospital. Responding to Mr Streeting's announcement, UHL deputy chief executive Simon Barton told LeicestershireLive he was hopeful the money would still be forthcoming, and encouraged the Government to pick up the pace with the programme. He said: "We have a clear plan for the development of our future hospitals funded by the New Hospitals Programme which was consulted on in 2021, and are excited and hopeful that a new government will support increasing pace on this programme to deliver this key element in our plans to transform healthcare delivery for the people of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland in line with our strategy. "We are working closely with the national New Hospitals Programme on key details around funding and design requirements. The advice which Secretary of State Wes Streeting has requested about the national programme will be provided by the Department of Health and Social Care with input from NHS England." However, Leicester Liberal Democrat councillor Zuffar Haq, who is a prominent campaigner around healthcare locally and sits on the joint Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Health Scrutiny Committee, was less convinced the programme would be seen through to the end. He told LeicestershireLive: "I don't think it will happen now. [Or at least], it will be another few years. "That has implications for Leicester, particularly for the maternity unit which is really overstretched. The new maternity unit has been on the card for around 20 years and we've just never had it."

His progress saw him named in the matchday squads for the First Team in the fourth and fifth round of Emirates FA Cup victories over Birmingham City and AFC Bournemouth respectively. That development will now continue with the Latics as they look to build on their 12th place finish in Sky Bet League One last season.

Liam Rosenior has been appointed as the new manager of Strasbourg in France. The 40-year-old was sacked by Hull City, despite being nominated for Championship manager of the season. He was linked with multiple championship jobs but his next journey in management has taken him overseas.

Josh Lawless Football fans watching the action on illegal Fire Sticks have received a stark warning. With the cost of having multiple subscription services through the roof in the current climate, Amazon Fire Sticks have been a popular and cheaper alternative. The sticks have different models and cost as much as £70. But many people have made enormous money from loading them with content from streaming platforms such as Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime and even live football from the biggest channels and leagues in the world. An easy way to have access to a 3pm kick-off in the UK and not have to pay for Sky Sports and TNT Sports, the sticks have been a huge focus for authorities as the use of the "dodgy" devices breaches copyright laws. In recent times, the Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT) have been working alongside Sky and police forces to crack down on IPTV boxes and jailbroken sticks, with home raids taking place and devices being seized. Arrests were made, with as many as 40 illegal IPTV operators involved in the mass crackdown. "These measures underscore the serious consequences of engaging in such illicit activities," Kieron Sharp, FACT Chief Executive, said. "We thank the police services involved for their invaluable assistance in this operation, particularly Cheshire, Nottinghamshire and the North East Regional Crime Unit for executing the warrants. "The rise in illegal IPTV operators using modified Firesticks to unlawfully access premium content is a growing concern. "This not only infringes upon copyright laws but deprives content creators and distributors of their rightful earnings and disrupts the economic balance of the creative industry. "FACT and our partners are steadfast in our commitment to disrupt these criminal operations. This is just the start of our enforcement efforts, with more actions planned." It follows on from news in May that five men involved in the selling of IPTV sticks were sent to jail for a total of 30 years. Mark Gould, 36, Steven Gordon, 46, Peter Jolley, 41, Christopher Felvus, 36, William Brown, 33, and Zak Smith, 30 are all believed to have generated around £7 million from 50,000 customers.

No it's been a gradual erosion form the day they bought the club with the banner inside the stadium going.

Most fans don't going the Store. Besides I think fans would like to see they are approaching the 'home' of LCFC not KP.

Must be just Foxestalkers going against the flow.

anyone not added their decision

I've never taken much interest in kits but I simply hate the curved stripe on the shorts not only does it look daft but it's bad enough having the 3 stripes everywhere making all kits look like part of a set but now the added curve on the shorts urgh!
