Whelan stated, when the accounts were posted, that investment was still being made in the training ground and also in transfers (Justin etc). We were linked with players, even if it was a loan, just a couple months back in Jan yet you think we’d need to ditch Morgan because of his wage and the fact he doesn’t play regular? I’m not accountant but that doesn’t add up. Also you can have a debate without sarcasm. No need for it. For the record I actually said I consider the Club offering Contracts to non-essential staff and players may be off the Agenda due to the Covid-19 effect of the Club's Finances. This money can be better spent for sure. So that's it from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez needs to take the responsibility for this, for me his captaincy supersedes the others participation, I want a statement from him, an explanation/apology to the fans and club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post coolhandfox Posted 14 April 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 14 April 2021 11 hours ago, brucey said: The England manager was speaking in the wake of James Maddison, who had hoped to be in his squad this summer but appears to have finally blown his chances, being one of three players dropped by Leicester City after attending a party during lockdown restrictions. Southgate, who had expected to watch Maddison play in Sunday’s Premier League match away to West Ham United, praised Leicester for the way they dealt with the incident although he added that he did not want to “talk about specifics”. However, there have been a number of off and on-field incidents that have affected the England squad in the past two years and which have annoyed Southgate. “In the end we’ve had issues ourselves in the autumn. That’s always very difficult for coaches to deal with. It puts you in really difficult positions,” he said referring to Ben Chilwell, Jadon Sancho and Tammy Abraham also flouting Covid guidelines. Before that Phil Foden and Mason Greenwood were sent home in September for meeting women in the England team hotel in Iceland. On the pitch, Kyle Walker and Harry Maguire were sent off as was Reece James. I stopped caring about England and who they selected after the announcement of the 2016 Euro squad when Jack Wilshere was included over Drinkwater after only playing 141 minutes that season. Tells you all you need to know about being selected on merit by England and the FA policy. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly when he was videoed telling us to follow guidelines and help the NHS. Edited 14 April 2021 by volpeazzurro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddison is no better or worse than the other 4, just because he is flamboyant and has a persona as someone who loves himself makes him an easy target even from our fans who you'd think might be less stereotypical than the rest. Personally, I'm more pissed at Maddison than the others because of the impression he has portrayed of not giving a single fvck. Yes, I was pissed about them breaching covid restrictions and jeopardising a really important part of our season but I'm more pissed that after being reprimanded for it and missing the game as part of the consequence, he's off playing golf during the game. Then he is (reportedly) going to clubs in Coventry at midnight on the same day the story breaks and only hours before he's due back to training for the first time in a week. I'm not niave enough to believe all our players love our club like we do but I ATLEAST expect them to respect it and I not only think that his actions AFTER their escapades have shown a lack of respect but more so an active disrespect to us as fans, his team mates and his manager. That being said. What's done is done and I do feel that nothing that's not already been said can be said on the matter and would rather we drop it and get on with moving forward. Like I said, it's an important stage of the season and although I may feel he has been a bit of a knob, he and every other Leicester player should get our continued support to get them over the finish line.

Guest bennytwohats Posted 14 April 2021 Share Posted 14 April 2021 16 hours ago, Ric Flair said: Who is more consistent than him who plays in his position? All of them are patchy in form - Mount, Maddison, Foden, Lingard etc I think Grealish and Foden are the two who are more obviously ahead of him. Mount probably divides opinion, but seems to be in Southgates plans. However I think realistically we won’t take 3 or 4 in that position alone, we’ll have some combination of attacking players who can also play out wide, so a pack that also includes Sterling, Sancho, Rashford. I can’t look at that list of players and say confidently that Maddison should be in ahead of them. I think the only one there is even a case to be made for Maddison is Mount, but I think you could argue either way for either of them. Whilst Maddison has been out of the England squad and injured/inconsistent for us, Mount has played 16 games and scored 4 for England. Why wouldn’t you go with his experience if you were Southgate? Only reason for me is if Maddison’s form was such that it was a no brainer, and until there is more between him and Mount that’s not the case. I don’t think that was the case pre-party tbh.

I think a lot of the chat has focussed around his international impact, which isn’t relevant for the others. I think people are a bit meh about Hamza, and to a slightly lesser extent Perez. Morgan and Barnes have rightly been spoken about more, particularly Morgan due to him being club captain, however when neither of them would have played anyway it’s a little less pertinent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't do anything wrong with England, neither did he do anything wrong going to play golf. It was probably more ill advised this time as he'd actually done something wrong before hand. But the England stuff was nonsense. Most peoples option seemed to be, don't do that because some idiots and the press will go after you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't say anything without club approval, so if nothing has been said it's because the club want to keep a tight lid on things and not stir it up again prior to the semi-final. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigga Posted 14 April 2021 Share Posted 14 April 2021 The absolute worst time of our season A day or so after Soyuncu gets covid The club would have reiterated the need to respect the rules on that very day if the Man City game I imagine... Let the club , Rodgers and the Fans down.. the bigger picture out of this could be BR leaving at the end of the season after being let down by members of the team.. Now that would hit us hard.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because a few players broke a rule, he's the manager, deal with it. Get rid of them if he wants to, but leaving because of it makes no sense.

Exactly, he's dealt with Suarez biting people and probably numerous appalling ill discipline. He is very ambitious and has probably 1 more shot at a mega club so he has to play it right and he needs to achieve something tangible here.
