The best coaches are generally cheaper than players and are easier/cheaper to remove if not up to scratch

Better to reform Uefa as there's no guarantee that any replacement likely overseen by the Super Rich clubs of Europe will be any less biased or corrupt. In fact I'd wager they'd be worse.

We could agree to pay the difference in his salary until his original contract time with us expires that would probably free up enough to sign someone on similar salary to Ward's new rate.

Of course but if it appears to be successful why would they change it I’m sure it does but I doubt it’s ultimately down to him who we sign. I’m not defending him just trying to view it from the clubs perspective

Not a fan of Petty but they're are not his fault even the Villa influx won't be totally down to him and with the number of youths turning up in the 1st team I'd guess the club would assume it's a success hence by default he must be doing ok.

Leicester City goalkeeper Holly Mears has joined FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division club Nottingham Forest on a dual-registration basis. The Foxes announced news of the deal via a post on their official club website yesterday evening. The teenager is yet to make her senior debut for Leicester City. She has provided cover on the first team bench on a handful of occasions to date. Mears needs the opportunity to play at senior level therefore the next step of her development is to go out and get some minutes in the third tier with Nottingham Forest. Nottingham Forest were able to get the deal done ahead of their Adobe Women’s FA Cup fourth round tie at Plymouth Argyle at the weekend. Mears was named as a substitute in The Tricky Trees’ 6-1 win. She will compete for the first-choice goalkeeping jersey with Emily Batty in the coming weeks. Leicester City are making good use of their Midlands links to develop their young players. Mears is the second youngster to go out on a dual-registration arrangement in the current transfer window. Defender Jess Reavill will also be playing FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division football in the second half of the season after recently joining West Bromwich Albion.

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/vardy-alves-fatawu--leicester-9034949 By Jordan Blackwell 12:46, 15 JAN 2024 UPDATED13:04, 15 JAN 2024 Will Alves is slowly getting closer to a position where he can push for a first senior outing under Maresca. The manager said on the teenage attacking midfielder last week: “Will is back with us, doing part of the session, but he’s not full training with us.”

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/local-news/270m-battery-storage-facility-capable-9030795 £270m battery storage facility capable of powering 235,000 homes given go-ahead The 19 acre site will serve the UK's National Grid ByTess Rushin 04:00, 15 JAN 2024 Normanton Energy Reserve The facility will be one of the largest ever in the UK A new battery site capable of providing two hours back-up power to 235,000 homes has been given the go-ahead by Blaby District Council. Green energy specialist Exagen will be developing a 19-acre site in the countryside near Earl Shilton. The site will be one of the largest battery storage projects to be granted planning permission in the UK, around 10 times larger than most battery projects currently providing storage for the grid. It will be used to hold spare green energy and release it when demand outstrips supply – for instance when the sun stops shining on solar farms or when wind turbines stop spinning. The £270 million project will be directly connected to the National Grid at a new substation. Batteries help reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and enabling more low-cost renewable energy sources to be integrated into the network. Called the Normanton Energy Reserve, Exagen said the plant will be essential in helping the UK to transition to net zero while connecting enough home-grown energy to power our homes and businesses in a safe and sustainable way. The company said plans will also see 45 per cent of the land used to improve biodiversity. Ahead of the main site construction, some landscaping works and planting will take place, and given the chance to establish and grow. Normanton Millennium Wood will be extended and there will be new wildflower meadows and land for beekeeping, along with new hedgerows and perimeter tree planting. This will be followed by pre-construction activity, including service and equipment procurement, with an ambition to partner with local businesses as much as possible. There are plans to establish around a £4 million community fund to spend on improvements in the local area. Residents will be consulted on how the money is used. Exagen said they will take ownership of the land, so will have a long-term vested interest in the local community and stewardship of the site. The start of construction will see £250,000 made available for local projects and groups and, once operational, £50,000 will be added each year of the project’s operational life of up to 40 years. Jeremy Littman, CEO at Exagen Development said: “For the UK to achieve its 2050 net zero target at the lowest possible cost, there needs to be an increase in electricity storage capacity to balance renewable energy generation. As more renewables are deployed, larger battery projects like Normanton will be required. "It is vital that they are developed sensitively and in partnership with the local communities that host them. We’ve been guided by our local stakeholders to achieve consent for a significant infrastructure project that is unobtrusive and balances national needs with local benefit. "We’ll work now to deliver this project into operation in that same spirit of partnership, and as an active and useful member of the local community."

The walk of shame back from missing a penalty has to be one of the worst feelings for a footballer, particularly if said penalty is one of the most poorly executed panenkas you’re ever likely to see. Luckily for Antonie Mille his dreadful failure did not cost his Chateauroux side against Les Herbiers in their Coupe de France shootout He's decent but he's no Yann Kermorgant
