Maresca is perfect for us. But credit to Martin he has done well, and I don't get the hatred for him (think some of it is Rodgers PTSD). Also rated him not caring about Sunak.

If its only red button they didn't have the license to do that earlier this season. May have changed now though (the stag that is) - may be worth ringing them

After not visiting in c.10 years it looks like I'm going to see my dad in NZ in December/January and fit in a couple of days with my cousins in Melbourne over xmas too.

Think this should now be moved to general chat so everyone knows arguing is encouraged

I feel like it would do well in a vote, as long as people knew who may be impacted beforehand. There would be more people in the stadium (who aren't effected) that support or abstain from the vote than there would be who rejected it.

To be fair the most recent tip is telling people to sell of Mag 7. And anyone who is in on that will have their own opinion. It should go without saying people should do their own DD on everything.

I think its a bit harder to say than that but appreciate the point. How are his passing attempts not the 100th percentile as an aside?

I'm not used to these stats but which of those is bad? Clearances per 90, for example, shows nothing for a team winning the league at a canter.

Any reason given?

Entertaining is such a subjective concept though. I think we are entertaining. By objective metrics we score a lot of goals. Imo some of the goals we have scored this season are up there with my best ever Leicester goals. Agree on the point about players. Guardiola is imo the best manager ever but his style (and the various ways he has coached teams to play over the years) largely rely on excellent footballers to get the results he does. Not to say the principles don't work further down but to go from being a competitive team to the best in the world needs every job to be done excellently.

We have two days in Naples - trying to get a Napoli game in but do you have any other advice on things to do? Fancy doing one of the underground things but not too sure otherwise. We are also going to Amalfi Coast separately. Thanks in advance

Stay in/near Trastevere and spend evenings there, it's very affordable and has exceptionally good food, nice bars and a good vibe. I would book Vatican museum in advance (as well as Borghese gallery if you want to go there) to avoid the queues. In fact queue jump for those two and Colosseum is probably worth it. The forum was great to look around. Definitely visit Pantheon. Unbelievable building. The Janiculum hill is a great view of the city in the early evening. If there are any Leicester games on while you're there there are Irish pubs etc who will put the game on for you. Make sure you have comfy footwear, everything is walkable but it means you spend a lot of time on your feet.

I want a correlation chart with those who find us boring to watch

I think a Vestergaard renewal is a no-brainer now. I happen to think our current style would work well against half the prem. In the other games where we will have to change it up I would pick someone else though, whether that's a new signing or if Nelson or someone else step up I don't know.

I'm sure Enzo did his dissertation on football and chess and multiverse time travel or something similar...

You're missing out...

Agree. I don't like vlogs but thought he was one of the least annoying, and was pretty knowledgeable and respectful. And it was funny how gutted he was at the end haha

I love him so much haha

To be fair that is true, I think with the clear interest in some of our players people expected that to get done. Still consider it to be failure. Anyway I am mostly frustrated as wanted to see him play, have a good one.

Ahh so you said something so that must be true as opposed to the journalists who seem surprised that this has fallen through unexpectedly. Two people can look at a situation differently and not agree on it. I think they've clearly messed up and as evidence I will give you the other times we have messed up in recently history with the same people behind the scenes, including when we made history signing someone for massive money who then couldn't play because we didn't do the required paperwork. You can evidence something you posted on foxestalk 4 days ago if you want

You've heard about those things because they are particularly uncommon so are big news. Isn't the point it clearly hasn't been explained? Or do you know more than the journalists too who seem to not believe what's happened

It 'has had a lot of failures' then if you don't like my wording. I don't think we've failed at everything but we continue to get a lot of simple things wrong which I decided to call continue to fail. Look at my other posts I'm generally extremely supportive

Agree its outrageously unprofessional. We could have handled this in a way which means he will sign in the summer but very much doubt that now. I can't think of any other job where you can completely mismanage everyone's expectations to past the point something will be done and Babs is still there defending you

How are you good lording that? Im not talking about thw team, im talking about the rest of the club. We will continue to ignore we went from champions league contenders to relegation candidates in record time. What part of that isn't failure? We do some things well and some things poorly, which evidences that it's more luck than judgement when we get it right. I bet that we are already in breach of the rules and this will be evidence of that.
