Stop it. I love it. Maybe we're not fussed about signing a new striker because we just adore missing open goals...who knows eh.

I'm glad those who went did have a nice time. It's not something I, like many I feel, felt they could support given everything happening at the club at the moment. But that doesn't mean others can't go there for a nice day out. I agree it's a shame about the overall attendance, but it was abundantly obvious that would happen. There is little to no hope around the club or in the fan base at the moment after the last two years, so I think a lot of people (myself included) are relieved we're not playing for a couple of months. Everyone is so tired of the shit we've been served up, and this just wasn't a big enough draw given the circumstances. Those returning players deserved a higher attendance, and I think the club missed a massive open goal by failing to show any real acknowledgement of failings or promise to do better. Even something like that, or indication they're trying to do something would have rallied folks a little bit more. They didn't even try—they just banked on the anniversary as a marketing ploy. Very sad. But anyway, as I said, I'm glad some of those who went (players included) had a good time.

Did any of them play against the 15/16 side at all? Surely it should have been at least players that maybe we'd faced over the course of that season. Utterly bizarre.

Cremonese 1-0 down too.

It would be very Leicester to sign a potentially ex-Saint, huh.

Get the **** in. Come on Vardy! Come on Cremonese!

You say this, and yet I swear this game feels higher quality than most of our games this season. Baffling. And I'm not meaning to be hyperbolic. Maybe because it's just being played at a faster pace then it feels like football is actually happening...even if there haven't really been any chances yet.

The longer there is no "thank you and goodbye" for Rowett, the longer I think he might actually be under consideration. I get hedging your bets, but...it's been 3 weeks since we were relegated. The second that happened, we should have started looking. At the latest.

If you're talking about it in relation to the Tigers being a "big club", then I get you. But from a City perspective, there are plenty of fans like me that were either born in Leicester and moved away young (so lost the accent, and have to travel), and/or grew up supporting Leicester because their family did. My "local" club is Brighton, but I've always been a Leicester fan. That's just how it is.

Be interested to see what a flipped version of that would be. That Burgundy kit was so nice. Gutted I never managed to get one.

Good work. **** me, they'll probably postpone it now won't they, spinning it as "recognising it's not the right time to be celebrating while the club reflect on a disappointing end to the season". Not because they are, but because they don't want to be humiliated by such a low attendance. Poorly organised, poorly communicated, poorly thought through. At Leicester City Football Club? In 2026? I'm shaken to my core.

Stop it, you'll make me enjoy following football again.

Do we have a sports psychologist on the staff? I feel like we need a department built for it, and a manager who believes in that as much as being a good head coach for the group.

I can't for the life of me remember when this stuff usually gets leaked. Feel like normally we'd have an inkling of one of the kits by this time of year.

That's good news for them (and him). Last I checked there were suggestions he was out injured.

Oh please let this be real.

I'd like to think he'd do damage at L1 level, but I thought the same about the Championship this season. For a few million, this would be good for all parties I reckon. He needs a fresh start, and we need a whole new team (barring youth and Souttar).

Oh no I agree, the conversation I think I am recalling was fans asking if he was willing to invest in the club, and he didn't say he would. I don't expect him to throw money at this, and I honestly think that would be a mistake anyway. If he did invest money, I'd rather it be on sorting the existing shit out first before moving on to new signings. Invest in a good manager with potential, and the right staff to turn the club around.

Some fans spoke to him outside the stadium after we got relegated, didn't they? From what I can vaguely recall he was a bit non-committal about putting money into the club himself...but I could be wrong. I wouldn't hold out much hope on that front anyway. Think it's all going to need to be funded by sales...if that even keeps our heads above water.

I understand what you're saying, but it's still a valid point given the club comms of late.

Probably still one of my favourite players. Incredible player in his prime, he felt unbeatable. You always felt you had a threat running from deep with Ricky P on the pitch, and he wasn't shy of putting in some great tackles too. His season under Maresca felt like a renaissance, and I was so excited to see him play in that position in the PL. Sadly Cooper couldn't coach that, so he was quickly discarded—probably because (as we've seen this season) he's just not as capable in the full back positions as he once was. I also don't think he was the right figure to be the Captain this season...but I won't blame him for being proud to take on the armband. I'll miss him. So long, Ricky. Good luck, and hope your next club loves you as much as we have.

The point from @mr wright is why I agree with you, @Wasyls Pec Deck. And I don't think I'm being remotely cynical in thinking that way.

What utter bollocks by Rowett. So none of the youth players are deserving a chance compared to the usual suspects? Otchere, Briggs, and Hutchinson have all been contributing to positive performances for the U21s. What exactly is it they have to do to "earn the right" to a first team appearance (in what will be a dead rubber game)? Complete horseshit from Rowett. What a waste of time his stint at the club has been.

I initially read this thread title as a request 🥲

For those looking for the interview: https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jake-evans-admits-mistake-leicester-10941291.amp You could see it as damning of youth players having a sense of entitlement, as @BKLFox suggests. However, I think Evans' framing here is more a self-reflection and criticism of himself. Sounds grounded and realistic, with a determination to do what's needed to play for us. Here's to Evans doing a KDH, working hard in the "off-season", killing it in in pre-season, and making a genuine impact in our League One campaign. We need more players with that hunger to do well, and learn from their mistakes.
