I remember his face during the interview. Genuinely looked as fed up as all of us after 2022/23 and he'd been here about a month
-
I baulked at it when I first read it but the more I think about it, the more I can see the sense. I think if you kept him fit and his wages weren't mental it'd be a really good signing. Has a decent record, been part of some successful sides, offers us something completely different to what we have. Could potentially see it on loan.

no posts since 4th April. Completely bottled it. Didn't somebody on here bet him as well?
-
With the obvious noose around our neck of an impending points deduction and the fact we've got to make pretty substantial sales before we make fairly small buys, regretfully it just has to be 17th.

Southampton and Preston were the ones. Yesterday was completely flat bar the actual trophy lift.
-
Macnulty passes the FM test too.
-
Greek sides do bizarrely well against English.
-
Up there with the best away end I've ever been in. Preston away really was the perfect fixture we could've had in many ways.
-
I think after our last decade it would drive our fans mental. Palace's performances in the cups are really poor given their relatively solid base.

I have genuinely enjoyed going to some of these away grounds again. When we were in the Premier League some of the first ones I'd look out for were the teams coming up from the Championship, so it's nice to have had some genuine variety. This is a particularly great Championship for that as the clubs are dotted in all corners of the country. The Premier League by its nature lacks this variety - 7 London teams and 4 in Manchester/Liverpool - that's nearly two thirds of your away games in the same three cities. Having gotten a bit older and made more of a day of going to a lot of these places again it's been genuinely a bit more of an adventure. Winning games is an obvious one but I'm not going to pretend that there's felt much reward in it for the most part, and that might be arrogance, but I can't help that. No VAR is a big one. It's been probably the worst ever this season as well in the Premier League, which has been funny to watch as an outsider seeing further vindication of my stance against it. Hopefully the pushback gets more and more to the point they actually realise the self-harm they're doing. I've actually enjoyed the Coventry beef more than I have Forest. I dislike Coventry immensely and that has grown a lot over this season, but I tell you what, I'll give them this, they're a lot more pure about it. Forest and their Derby love in is so dreary, so boring. Do it properly. In total contrast to what I've thought not all that long ago, I do think this team for the most part does actually care. They have had some shockers particularly in the last two months, but I do root for them more than I did the last couple of seasons. I've not lost sight of how badly I think the club is run, but I do think there has been a lot more realisation of this from our fans now and the recent flurry of Foxes Trust sign ups are a really positive sign. I think we as a fanbase have as a collective been quite well managed to be a bit soft and obedient - but there are signs that there is still something about us. Feel like the support for UFS is at an all-time high as well - was also the case last season but I think it's only grown. I think genuine struggle on the pitch has actually seen a lot more resonate with us due to the general lack of accountability within the club and the fact UFS have taken a pretty public stance doing this. Enjoyed having a manager who conveys genuine passion. I still have reservations about him and I'd be lying if I said I was hugely confident in him, but it's been refreshing in that sense - we've not had that in a long time on the touchline.

This season again is proof of how ridiculous it is that they nominate the candidates for manager of the season with a few games left. How can Farke possibly have made the top three now?

Leicester to appoint Martyn Glover as head of senior recruitment.
Dan replied to stu's topic in Leicester City Forum
Mixed for me but massive props if he's got anything to do with Fatawu and Hermansen. -
Pretty much my exact thought.
-
Job done. Well done Enzo
-
One of the funniest games I've ever seen just absolutely sensational implosion. An alltimer. Job done boys.
-
Yeah playing Derby was ridiculous.
-
I'm on 77/92. Any new ground I'm there.
-
Championship team of possible transfers. Who has impressed you?
Dan replied to Kinowe Soorie's topic in Transfer Talk
Had a bit of a read of that Southampton thread the other day with all their fans moaning about Martin () and seen a lot of them making the same sort of comments we've been making about being stuck in this league next season and how it's going to weaken their squad, so I'm wondering if there's anybody worth going for off them. I've not watched enough of them to say exactly who to go for but they considered Flynn Downes to be their 'glue' and they're rubbish without him. Wonder if he'd be any good here. -
It's the least rewarding to be honest because it's come off the worst relegation in Premier League history for me. It wasn't a given we went up but it was pretty heavily expected.
-
Glad it appears the collective has cottoned onto this clown.
-
There'll always be a fear of sentimentality on this subject, but best goals per minute ratio in the league, 16 goals - I on't think in our situation you just pass that up like its nothing. This isn't Kevin Phillips scoring a couple off the bench in his twilight. He doesn't necessarily have to start every week but I still think he has something to offer us.
-
I really hope that interview isn't Rodgers v West Brom all over again but fear it may well be. The thing is yesterday we were in total control. I was actually quite surprised that the possession was as low as it was when I saw the stats. We we created plenty of chances in different methods and we allowed them hardly anything all game. If he's genuinely not over the moon with that because it wasn't done in a particular way then that's quite disappointing really. It was everything I want from Leicester - organised, exciting and ruthless.
-
Really was a fantastic night. I think even if we are promoted via not playing again, we did at least have last night.

Preston Away - Monday 29th April - Pre Match
Dan replied to urban.spaceman's topic in Leicester City Forum
In fairness we'd sold well over 4,000 even before then. It's pretty good support. -

I think I want them to draw although I'm adamant I'd regret this when we go and lose 1-0
