Most of our quality players have lacked this, maybe because of the culture at KPFC. Obviously none of it matters unless the manager / coach has the right mentality and approach.

The sum of the parts to equal success

There's always the likes of Michael Appleton, Will Still, Chris Hughton, Tony Mowbray, Ryan Mason, Barry Ferguson, Eric Ramsey, Steve McLaren, Steve Bruce, Steven Gerrard, Wayne Rooney, Paul Ince, Mick McCarthy, Alan Pardew. If you prefer an unemployed manager/coach

Whoever sees this as the basic principle of player recruitment.

God or bad depends on your perspective especially with all those car parks closing. Dan Martin, Leicester political reporter and Sonia Kataria, Leicester A new car equipped with a CCTV camera has caught more than 1,500 drivers parking illegally after patrolling Leicester for a month. The city council introduced the enforcement vehicle, equipped with a number plate recognition camera, on 1 April to help tackle illegal and dangerous parking. It has been monitoring red routes, zigzag markings outside schools and bus stop clearways, and drivers breaking the rules are automatically issued with a £70 fixed penalty notice. Geoff Whittle, assistant city mayor for transport and environment, said the car had been sent to areas where "there are persistent issues but no current fixed camera enforcement". Leicester City Council said in its first four weeks, the CCTV car's patrols had resulted in 1,475 penalties being issued for illegal parking on red routes in London Road, Gravel Street and Abbey Lane. A further 34 penalties have been issued for illegal parking close to school gates outside eight city schools. 'Effective deterrent' The vehicle, which has initially cost £57,000 to buy and equip, will be funded from the income generated from penalties. Whittle said: "We know that camera enforcement and fines can be a very effective deterrent. "In its first few weeks, the CCTV enforcement car has caught hundreds of motorists flouting parking rules. "They will now face a fine, but more importantly receive a strong message that illegal and dangerous parking will not go unpunished. "We are confident that the new CCTV enforcement will be an effective tool to clamp down on dangerous and inconsiderate parking, especially in areas where there are lots of children and busy traffic." The council previously used a similar vehicle, which it leased from Nottingham City Council between August and December 2019. It patrolled city streets, enforcing double yellow lines and school gate restrictions, which resulted in more than 100 fines being issued to drivers.

Does the future only last one year?

Roman museum falls short of visitor number target The Jewry Wall Roman museum behind a black sign Leicester's mayor Sir Peter Soulsby said the museum was "a long-term" project ByDan Martin Leicester political reporter Leicester's new £16.8m Roman museum has fallen short of its visitor target, according to latest figures. Leicester City Council opened Jewry Wall Museum in July following a four-year revamp of an older museum in the former Vaughan College building in St Nicholas Circle. The authority set a target of getting 31,578 people through the doors by the end of March. However, it has told the BBC that 26,647 people had visited the attraction by 16 April. Leicester mayor Sir Peter Soulsby said he believed the museum would succeed in the longer run. "It's a long project and it's about looking to the future and bringing visitors to Leicester," he said. "Certainly, whenever I have been there, there has been quite a busy crowd of people just going 'wow' at what has been created." The museum stands next to the landmark Jewry Wall itself, the remains of a bathhouse that served the old Roman city, known as Ratae, from about AD 160. Work on the creation of the new museum began in 2021, but was delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic and the original contractor going bust. An opposition councillor said the museum's business plan was not sustainable Green Party city councillor Patrick Kitterick said: "The figures show what most people could see. "The museum's business plan was over-optimistic for its number of visitors, given that the most interesting feature, the Jewry Wall, can be seen for free from the roadside. "We need to come together and work out what the future of the museum looks like because the current business plan isn't working. "We need to have an honest debate about how we take it forward." Soulsby compared the museum to the National Space Centre, which opened in Leicester in 2001. "I remember the early days when the space centre opened," he said. "People said it was failing, that it would never work. "Last time they counted there were 300,000 visitors a year."

Over 850 tonnes of food waste collected in month A view of food waste in a dedicated bin, with leftover bread and salad visible. Image source,Paul Moseley/BBC Image caption, Food waste sent to standard landfill releases greenhouse gases ByBen Mellor https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8e8lg1ye30o Leicester Published 36 minutes ago Councils that started food waste collections in Leicestershire and Rutland have collected a total of 869 tonnes of food waste in roughly one month. Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council, Blaby District Council, Oadby and Wigston Borough Council and Rutland County Council (RCC) started collections in either March or April. The government set a deadline of 31 March for all homes in England to get weekly food waste collections, but many local authorities missed this, including Leicester City Council who expect to start their services after May 2028. Councillor Oliver Hemsley, RCC's cabinet member for environment and transport, said he was "quite surprised" by how much food waste was collected. A view of a Rutland County Council food waste recycling truck. Image source,Rutland County Council Image caption, Hemsley said teething issues with collections were being ironed out "Anytime you change things for people, we tend to be quite conservative about stuff, but it's actually really good to see that it's being embraced by the Rutland residents," Hemsley said. He added that the food waste collections also worked better with modern habits. "We've known lots of things over time. We used to compost our potato peelings and things, but it's become less easy for people to do that. "Offering this service, rather than just chucking it in the black bin, has allowed us to meet the needs of our community and do something for the future generations." Where does the waste go? Food waste sent to landfill, along with general waste, "doesn't just harmlessly break down" according to guidance issued by a number of local authorities. "It has a big impact on the environment as it rots and releases methane - a harmful greenhouse gas that is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide." Instead, food waste collected by these collections is turned into energy. Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council, Blaby District Council, Oadby and Wigston Borough Council, and Rutland County Council all send their waste to anaerobic digestion plants. "It's a process where they feed it in, and it generates a gas which is used to generate energy," Hemsley said. "It is probably going to generate savings [for Rutland County Council] of around £253,000 in the first year. "So it's well worth having and helps offset the costs of having it put in in the first place." Who collected how much? According to the latest data provided to the BBC: Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council collected 262 tonnes between 1 April and 24 April Blaby District Council collected 256.86 tonnes between 30 March and 28 April Oadby and Wigston Borough Council collected 173 tonnes in total as of 30 April Rutland County Council collected 176.88 tonnes in total as of 27 April Charnwood Borough Council, Harborough District Council, and North West Leicestershire District Council are expected to start collections later this year. Melton Borough Council said it would start in April 2028, while Leicester City Council said it would start "after" May 2028.

Leicester City's new manager will have £10m to spend in League One and are already making plans to reinforce the squad. According to Alan Nixon on Patreon, the Foxes have made it clear that there is a budget ready for quick deals as they look to bounce back to the Championship at the first attempt.

I can't see it ever being completed I believe those living near there have been assured it's not going ahead but councils and circumstances change. It's hard for councils to get money for new roads with the emphasis on public transport, although Leicester still misses out on trains and trams and walking.

They wanted to build an inner ring road. They even messed up the section at the station as the new Waterloo Way was planned to go behind the station. Mind you they never did sort the outer ring road at Oadby. So much damage to complete two ring roads and neither ended up great v

As a starter we don't want anyone who's been on the managerial merry go round.

They were the earthquake. But their club? Someone please sort out the rubble.

Interesting After retiring as a player in 2019 he returned to his native Germany but missed the UK and came back to live in Cheshire, complete a master’s in sports directorship, and rejoin Leicester as loans manager. He left again last year. Why? “Being back at Leicester was great but it just sort of confirmed how much I don’t like football,” Huth says. “Playing it is so much more fun than behind the scenes. And I just struggled to connect with the younger players.”
