Even the social house stock that still exists judging from the ones I used to see in New Parks the council doesn't have the money to maintain them properly. It would help if some of the tenants looked after them better.

Did we though? I think it was more to do with the big deserved increases we gave to the PL winning team that then set the standard for everyone else afterwards.

If his contract doesn't start until July 1st there's no reason for them to announce it when they've got so many birthdays, special days and milking our tenuous links to the World Cup to fit in before then

It's not for live LCFC games they have massive screen in there and you watch the games from 2015/16 - perfect keeping the dream alive.

Hmm he was off the Ex manger football league merry-go-round. No one is guaranteed to succeed.

I prefer the jeopardy of a totally unknown, to me at least experienced foreigner manager than any of these being plucked off the Ex manger football league merry-go-round who fill me with dread. All are just as likely to fail as succeed but it would be a more exciting, expectant and surprising adventure then the OFFS feeling I get from any of those currently being mentioned.

Heskey said: "It's very tough for a young kid when clubs like that come calling. As a young player, you always think you're confident enough to deal with anything, but it's not easy. "He's 17 this summer, so that means he is going to be on a second year scholarship. Really, he should be concentrating on that and getting some actual football under his belt. There's a big conversation about him moving, but he hasn't really played loads of senior minutes yet. You want these young players to play continuous football. Arsenal are interested in Jeremy Monga this summer. (Image: Stephen White - CameraSport, CameraSport via Getty Images) "If he goes to United, is he going straight into their first team? If he goes to Arsenal, is he going to play for sure? No. These kids honestly need first team football. "He is a very, very good player, but he needs to be pushed, he needs to be challenged, and he needs to experience the real pressures of going up against adult professionals week in, week out."

City of Leicester & Leicestershire - The Good and Historical Stuff

New jobs set for Leicester as historic firm reveals major plans for city site The company has been based in the city for more than 100 years Leicester is set for a number of new jobs courtesy of a company's "extensive" redevelopment of its headquarters. Parker Plant, which has been based in Leicester's Canon Street for more than 100 years, is set to create the jobs as it redevelops its site in Viaduct Works. The company, which manufactures and supplies asphalt, sand, gravel, concrete and other materials, was founded by Frederick Parker, in 1911, inside a single railway arch. By 1925, the business had relocated to the expansive 18-acre site on Canon Street, where the new 75,000 sq ft facility has been purpose-built to house manufacturing operations for crushing, screening, concrete and asphalt plants, bringing Parker Plant's full product range under one roof. The building will comprise four dedicated production bays, a separate paint shop, and a two-storey office block. To support heavy manufacturing operations, nine new overhead cranes will be installed across the facility, with lifting capacities ranging from 10 to 30 tonnes, equipping the team to handle "even the most demanding" production requirements. The company said that sustainability has been central to the building's design, as it will feature solar panels, LED lighting throughout and improved insulation to better control noise and heating. The exact number of jobs being created as part of the move has yet to be confirmed, but a Frederick Parker spokesperson said: "We aren't sure at the moment how many new jobs the site's redevelopment will create. "It's going to be a process of moving into the new facilities and establishing where we need more team members as we scale up operations and to meet market demands. "It will definitely create new jobs, however we cannot give an estimate of how many that might be."

City of Leicester & Leicestershire - The Good and Historical Stuff

Leicester's new 'go-to' social destination is in an underground car park The old industrial site has been transformed into a creative events space hosting a variety of markets An underground car park in Leicester has become the city's "go-to" social destination. St Marys Works, located in Burnmoor Street, near the King Power stadium, was once a hosiery factory before being turned into a hotspot for creative people to set up their stalls. The site now sees events put on inside its underground car park, with the most recent one taking place on Saturday, June 6, featuring a retro market with a variety of stalls, including clothes, furniture, comics and food. The idea to turn the old industrial site into a creative hotspot came from the event's organiser, Caroline Belfie. She said: "The factory has been in my husband’s family for many years, but instead of keeping it as a usual old factory, we thought to bring creatives into the space and make it something special. "We started off with an event late last year, where we hosted a Christmas Market and then we did a foodie event in March and every time the number of visitors just keeps growing. "So it’s kind of snowballed, turning the factory into a hotspot for the community where they can enjoy the space." According to Mrs Belfie, the recent event attracted more than 2,000 people to the old factory, a steep increase from March's foodie event, which drew around 1,000 visitors. She said: "I quit my job as a teacher at Loughborough University last summer because I knew I wanted to do something more creative with my life. "That is when I looked at the car park and thought, 'this has a lot of potential', and we’ve been hosting different events ever since. "The first couple of events were attended by about 1,000 people each and then this retro market on Saturday attracted around 2,000 guests, so it was really well attended." For Mrs Belfie, an important aspect of the events she hosts is to make sure that everyone feels welcome. She added: "The vibe was amazing on Saturday. The music plays a big part and we have two DJ sets playing in two different places. "We had some really cool guests wearing flamboyant clothes, older people, families, it just showed that it was a great destination for all." Mrs Belfie said her events show that the city still has a thriving community ready to support it. She said: "Our event shows that Leicester’s social side is not dying. "People kept walking up to me and telling me they were so happy that the event was on and that the city needs more of this, so it proves we have a thriving social scene. "I’m sure the next one will be even bigger as it keeps growing into a go-to destination." St Marys Works has not confirmed when the next event will take place, but hinted that something maybe coming to the car park in September. Take a look around the event through our gallery below.

I wasn't suggesting the was any just that stuff like that would be automatically removed and probably the poster banned and no one would likely protest. As for more detail you need to remember that this is a sideline for @Mark and his does have a full time job and a life outside of the forum so I'm sure time is important to him.

Thanks to the FT for all the effort and time they put into the FT, after all we've had 24 years of stagnation within the Trust anyone expecting superfast results is being totally unreasonable. Also take into account the club have placed so many obstacles in the way that were meant to make it easier and quicker in the last few years.

Nope, I can't say I even saw it. But @Mark has his view of what is acceptable and it's not always just down to the usual racial, offensive stuff. It's often to stop threads drifting off in certain directions or becoming repetitive for example. You have to remember it's his forum, he pays for it and it is primarily an LCFC forum everything else is a bonus that he tolerates and could probably do without considering he never posts in these threads that I can see. Plus it's all subjective and naturally inconsistent because none of the mods are on it full time and even if they were aren't going to view every post. You'll all just have to accept what it is. This is my view of it and apologies to Mark if I've misrepresented him

Remember do this, but being picked to play the hooker in rugby game and avoiding coming last in the run around Viccy Park so I didn't get the rubber sole of a plimsol across my arse was worse.

Meant NI. But there were plenty of Scots.
