  1. There’s been plenty missing this week and the fact he has little chance of playing for the 1st is the exact reason why he should be playing in this Golding’s playing and he’s part of the 1sts
  2. Isn’t mostly dictated by tv presumably for the money
  3. This game not even being mentioned by LCFC well not that I can see
  4. Surely someone like Evans should be getting some minutes in a game like this. He’ll end up coming on as a sub for the 1st and be expected to hit the ground running probably end up injured. Or has he been sidelined for some reason
  5. Barnes' dad was a professional footballer not sure about Ndukwu but would surely have had a big influence, contacts and support in ensuring progress.
  6. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/leicester-city-teenager-immense-marti-10489090 Leicester City teenager 'immense' with Marti Cifuentes set for future boost Teenager Jayden Joseph made his full debut for loan club Tranmere Rovers on Tuesday night and received plaudits for his attacking play as a right-sided wing-back ByJordan Blackwell 12:15, 10 SEP 2025 Leicester City wide-man Jayden Joseph is pushing for more minutes at loan club Tranmere Rovers after impressing on his first senior start. After leaving City on a half-season loan last month, 19-year-old Joseph was brought into the starting line-up on Tuesday night as Tranmere played Nottingham Forest Under-21s in the EFL Trophy, with the League Two club triumphing on penalties following a 2-2 draw. Joseph, who can play as a full-back or winger on both flanks, was operating as the right-sided wing-back and made a big impression, especially with Tranmere fans. His pace and wing-play earned plenty of plaudits, with the teenager just lacking the final ball. First-team coach Andy Parkinson said: “The young players that we’ve brought in, they’ve all got super strengths. They’ve come from bigger clubs, from Under-21s teams. “We had pace on the flanks today. He (Joseph) did well. Being a winger myself, I can look at it and critique it a little bit. I thought at times he went into the final third well but it was just that last little bit that wasn’t quite there.” Joseph has so far made two substitute appearances in League Two, but there are fans who want him in the 11 this weekend, when they host Newport County, the loan club of fellow City players Sammy Braybrooke and Nathan Opoku. Manager Marti Cifuentes will be keeping a keen eye on his progress, having taken him to the pre-season camp in Austria to get a good look at his qualities. Here’s what Tranmere fans said about Joseph on social media. @tranmere_guy24: “Jayden Joseph was immense and deserves more minutes.” @mikelee0710: “Jayden Joseph is a player, isn’t he? Can see him playing in the first team at Leicester.” @TranmereCrohnie: “Joseph is a player.” @RicciTRFC: “Jayden Joseph earned a start on Saturday.” @DaveSparky2022: “He’s done well. I’d give him a start on Saturday.” @KBizz1e: “Jayden Joseph giving Crosby some selection dilemmas.”

  9. He seems to be obsessed with catering for visitors, why else does it cost a fortune to visit the Roman Museum redeveloped with council taxes and government (people's taxes) that used to be free? His love of making open spaces none of which are significant to make a big difference. As long as he looks good in the eyes of external city planners getting the environmental ticks with his bike lanes he's happy. Copilot interpretation You’re tapping into a frustration that’s echoed in many towns—when local leadership seems more focused on optics and external validation than on the lived experience of residents. Redeveloping the Roman Museum with public funds, only to slap on a hefty entrance fee, does feel like a bait-and-switch. If it was once free and accessible, turning it into a polished attraction for tourists can feel like a betrayal of its original purpose: serving the community. And those open spaces—while they might look good on a master plan—can feel like token gestures if they don’t actually improve daily life. A patch of grass and a few benches won’t solve deeper issues like housing, transport, or youth engagement. It’s the kind of planning that earns gold stars from external auditors but leaves locals wondering, “Who is this really for?”

  11. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cy859l0xw89o Clubs seek clarity over Man City 'settlement' Richard Masters standing next to the Premier League trophy, which is in Manchester City colours The Premier League and Manchester City are awaiting the result of the hearing into 115 charges for alleged breaches of the league's financial rules By Dan Roan Sports editor Published 2 hours ago Premier League clubs want more clarity about the settlement of a legal dispute with Manchester City over the rules that govern commercial deals, BBC Sport has been told. On Monday, clubs were informed by the league that City had accepted associated party transactions (APT) regulations are "valid and binding", with both parties agreeing to terminate legal proceedings, and a statement being issued shortly afterwards. APT rules were introduced by the Premier League to prevent clubs from profiting from commercial deals with companies linked to their owners that are deemed above "fair market value". City had mounted a lawsuit against the Premier League, claiming the rules were "unlawful". However, according to sources at several rival clubs, they have not been told any details about the settlement, nor what it means. Some suggested the league would be asked to clarify what - if any - assurances or concessions City have been granted at its next shareholders meeting this month. One senior executive at a Premier League club, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "It's hard to say anything because we have no idea of the details of the settlement or any implications from it." Although most clubs are relieved rules that most feel are essential to preserve competitive balance and fairness are no longer in jeopardy, some are known to be concerned by reports that City are now set to complete a lucrative new sponsorship deal with airline Etihad Airways. It was one of two Abu Dhabi-linked deals originally blocked by the Premier League in 2023 for not being fair market value, sparking City's lawsuit. Despite suggestions that City have been given assurances the deal will now be approved, BBC Sport has been told it would still be subjected to a fair market value assessment by the Premier League board. And officials insist that clubs with state connections - such as City and Newcastle United - will not find it easier to secure approval for commercial deals with companies linked to their owners. The APT rules were introduced in December 2021 after the Saudi Arabian-led takeover of Newcastle that year. The rules were successfully challenged by Manchester City in 2024, with an independent tribunal ruling that low-interest shareholder loans should not be excluded from the scope of the APTs, and that changes made to toughen up the regulations also breached competition law. The league amended the rules accordingly, but against City's wishes, and in February the club launched a fresh legal challenge, declaring the regulations "unlawful and void", and triggering a new arbitration. Premier League chief executive Richard Masters will speak to concerned clubs Since announcing the settlement, BBC Sport has been told that the league's chief executive Richard Masters and chair Alison Brittain have offered to speak to clubs if they have questions. However, league officials insist the nature of the agreement means that much of the detail has to remain confidential. There is no suggestion from either side that this will have any impact on the higher-profile, ongoing saga of the Premier League's disciplinary case against City for 115 alleged breaches of its financial rules. City deny wrongdoing in a case which had an independent commission hearing conclude nine months ago, but is yet to produce a verdict. "The compromise means neither party is a winner or a loser, but ultimately one would imagine Manchester City have come out with a good result in the sense that they can probably now push forward and close off some sponsorship deals at a higher value than perhaps the Premier League would previously have allowed," said sports lawyer Richard Cramer. "It does mean there is a likelihood Manchester City will be able to spend more money. "The settlement probably means a better working relationship and maybe this is an indication that the Premier League and the other clubs have indicated enough is enough - it's not a good optic for the clubs to be fighting and at loggerheads with the governing body. "One of the biggest concerns for the Premier League is the vast expense on legal fees in relation to these ongoing arbitrations. The funding of these disputes has got completely out of control and a big drain on resources from both a management point of view and of course eating into cash reserves. "Manchester City have untold wealth behind them to continue with these disputes, but even they may have reached the point of deciding that it's not good for the sport."

  13. This is one of the biggest changes of public behaviour in my lifetime, Leicester had a reputation in the late 50s early 60s of being the 2nd most prosperous city in Europe and one of the cleanest. Now where ever you look there's rubbish lying around even within feet of empty litter bins. It's not just small bits either large dumped household items and broken toys often in people's front gardens because the council wont take them with the rubbish and wants £20 an item to pick them up oh and not forgetting the dog shit. They're even removing bins in some areas because they're under utilised.
  14. One way to save them is to turn them into shopping Malls with, and I know it goes against the grain and Soulsby have a massive free carparking area/multi-story parking. It would also help to have free buses into the city from all outlying areas
  15. Not forgetting all the Charity shops and Eating places.

  18. Surely other clubs need to know the basis of the settlement if it clarifies the rule. Also they need to know if any punishment has been agreed and what it consists of.

  22. History of Leicestershire in Images Graham Hulme Old postcard view of Rutland Street, looking from the corner of Queen Street. The card was posted in May 1916 and is before the construction of the Odeon cinema (now the Athena building) on this corner. The building shown in the picture was the premises of Walker, Kempson & Stevens, boot and shoe manufacturers who went into voluntary liquidation in 1936 and their building was subsequently demolished. The new cinema was completed on the site in 1938. Seen further along Rutland Street, at the corner of Southampton Street, is the impressive bootlace warehouse named Alexandra House, the premises of the shoe mercers Faire Bros. The building still stands and has now been converted into apartments. Alexandra House was originally constructed for Faire Bros. in the late 1890s and was designed by the Leicester architect Edward Burgess. It is one of his finest buildings and is strikingly clad in buff terracotta, richly adorned with decorative details. The distinctive corner entrance is crowned by a dome which can faintly be seen above in this view. The original dome suffered bomb damage during World War Two and was removed. A replica of the dome was added during the restoration and conversion of the building in the early 2000s. The building is listed Grade 2 and has been considered one of the finest warehouses of its time in the country.
