https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12982829/Leicester-manager-Enzo-Maresca-calls-VAR-introduced-Championship.html Enzo Maresca sent shivers down the spines of English football fans by calling for VAR to be introduced in the Championship. After working on the coaching staff at West Ham and Manchester City, the Leicester boss has seen both sides of the coin and believes technology improves the game. Yet many supporters in the second tier would reject VAR, with its stoppages and controversies. Maresca has an axe to grind with officials following recent games at Ipswich and Coventry, where he felt big calls went against the Championship leaders. ‘It’s a little bit of a mixed feeling,’ he said. ‘In the Championship when you see a goal you can celebrate because you know nothing will happen to change it. Last year and in the years when I used VAR, you are always waiting, waiting, because you don’t know if there is something (to disallow it). ‘In terms of the immediate reaction, yes, it’s more enjoyable. In the end though, you can see more things with VAR and it’s much better for the game. ‘They have VAR in the second division in Spain, the same in Italy. Here we don’t have it and I don’t know the reason why. In my opinion it helps.’ VAR has been used in Football League play-off finals and in some Carabao Cup matches but has still not been brought into regular fixtures in the Championship or Leagues One and Two. Championship clubs considered whether to bring in a slimmed-down version of VAR for this season but decided against, due to the dissatisfaction it has caused in the top flight. However some EFL managers agree with Maresca. Last October Stevenage boss Steve Evans said: ‘The EFL needs VAR at the earliest opportunity as the officiating is not at the level it needs to be.’

Do they still do Masters Football, we used to be good at that.

A city centre street first closed to traffic during the pandemic will now be permanently pedestrianised. Work to widen footpaths and create more room for people on a stretch of Granby Street, between its junctions with Dover Street and Chatham Street, will begin on Monday, January 22. The scheme will permanently close the junction of Dover Street and Granby Street to vehicles, Leicester City Council has said. The authority also plans to create new turning on Dover Street which it said will allow for general traffic to reach nearby businesses and attractions, including The Little Theatre. The former pay-and-display parking bays along Granby Street – which have been out of use for more than three years – are to be converted into “wider, high-quality footpaths” with outdoor-café seating areas, the council added. Additional on-street parking bays will be created on Chatham Street, York Street and Dover Street instead.

During this time, Granby Street will be closed to traffic also the stretch between Dover Street and Chatham Street. A “short” diversion will be in place and will be “well signposted”, the council added. Leicester City Council said this scheme is the latest in a series of ongoing investments to improve Granby Street, which it describes as a “busy shopping street and important gateway into Leicester city centre”. This includes the refurbishment of the landmark Grand Hotel buildings and restoration of its historic shopfronts.

...and why does it matter how many extra tickets they sell? Surely just one extra fan makes it worthwhile. Does it add to their workload and even if it does that's what they are there and paid for. The whole situation has no logic to it if it does tell us why this is even a restriction.

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.
