Edingleyfox Posted 12 April 2021 Share Posted 12 April 2021 The last thing I want is to lose Maddison or Barnes as a result of this incident. If we lose the top 4 spot partly as a result of the omissions at the weekend it only makes it more likely that someone will leave .The manager seemed to be more realistic that this could happen of late which makes you wonder. However in general the club has to look at the bigger picture. Leicester has been in the middle of this pandemic and all the team need to behave with the ethical values we would expect. I cannot believe given what happened with the women's team party and with Cags recently testing positive that the players would have not been fully briefed. Its going to be difficult but there is a need to refocus, remind players of the responsibilities to the team and society and see if something can still be achieved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twister Posted 12 April 2021 Share Posted 12 April 2021 I remember in the late 90's ( though their was big money in the game then) feeling attached to the players like it really mattered their was a sense they were mostly normal lads who you could relate to.That is not the case now and not just because of age, Declan rice seems for example a very rounded young man, Milner has been a perfect pro. This is a rarity though amongst modern players. When you see Ben Marshall on the under the cosh podcast how he just chucked money up the wall and the way he laughed it off sums that up.Its interesting how many on that podcast have a ''its only a job '' attitude, stories of getting hammered on pre season tours when allowed is all to common. Imagine tom brady or le bron having that attitude, most footballers are just over grown children now because everything is done for them. I remember the newcastle stories in hotels, all this ''lads will be lads'' stuff is bollocks when fans respond to it. I was a junior runner, . To many modern players get to rich to young ''ranger,emmanuel thomas'' they have no idea how to handle money. Then its only when their 31 and trying to get a game at dundee on 600 a week that the penny ****ing drops.I was a junior runner I had anxiety issues, and always regret not getting the best out of my ability, but I never didn't due to lack of hard work or pissing it up the wall. It makes it hard to love the sport now, aside from how unfair and geared towards four or five clubs it is, so many players just do it for the cash now.I understand it can get boring and its ok for it to be a job, but you have to give everything still to being the best athlete you can be every week.That's why I admire the brady's at 43 at the top of their game he lives and breathes being the best of himself every single day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid idiots putting our whole season on the line makes my blood boil. I know some people will be saying over reaction and making other such comments but I think they should be punished to the fullest allowed by the rules. Exactly they ain’t just some mates who have met for a drink. They’re supposed to be in the most strictest bubble to avoid catching COVID or avoid meeting someone who has it in order to continue in this billion pound industry!

Shane Posted 12 April 2021 Share Posted 12 April 2021 17 minutes ago, weller54 said: Would any of them be really missed if they were transfer listed and sold?.. Perez...No Choudhury..No Maddison is the only one with a question mark, and even him I'm not sure .. time to cash in and get a more mature replacement and someone who respects our Club and fan base! Maybe we already have Maddisons replacement? Kelechi Iheanacho! He could potentially slot in nicely playing behind the striker in our regular 4-2-3-1 system. Obviously he’s a very different player to Maddison & we’d need to adapt tactics slightly but i’m confident Kelechi would hit double figures playing this role. We’d definitely need to sign a creative right winger to accommodate for the loss of Maddison. Matheus Pereira is the one we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So every party they go to with other women there means they're automatically cheating? I imagine Perez in the corner longingly looking over at the group of girls while adjusting his Givenchy bum bag, Maddison on the balcony tearfully flicking through old photos of himself with Chilwell, Barnes telling a small disinterested group of girls that David Icke “Is an alright guy really”, and Choudhury sliding on his knees in three-quarter length jeans from Gap.

They were briefed on it according to the sources on here, yet they chose to disobey the orders hours later. Interesting about Maddison, maybe we've found the player who is being sold in the summer? This has literally messed up the focus and the end of season plans, they really ought to be ashamed of themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondered the same tbh, especially off the back of the seeming relenting of the no sales message from Brendan. This whole episode is beyond stupid, and the damage it may do to the collective could be extensive, but we do have some buggers, so hopefully.... Still, most disappointing, and it does show that these professional footballers, in some instances, feel they are both beyond the law of the everyday man/woman, and largely indifferent to punishment.

Fox in the North Posted 12 April 2021 Share Posted 12 April 2021 Personally happy with the way the club has dealt with it internally. Not that it will matter to most people but I think it would be worth the players in question issuing a public apology and then paying fines to the NHS or Charities of their choice. They’ve had a party in a very sensitive time and been incredibly stupid. The timing is atrocious. But as long as they have given their heads the biggest wobble, I think the matter has been dealt with quickly by the club. I’d rather they knuckle down and play instead of being banned from further games with the club paying their wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
