Ended up down a football-related Wikipedia rabbit hole (reading up on how Tomi Petrescu's career went, if you must know) and stumbled upon this... I'm sure someone must have seen it before, anyone know the story behind it? 

Helpfully, I'm half Finnish, so can open this up a bit. 

JJK and City have worked together since 2002 – and Petrescu coming over to us was part of that. There is now an official partnership agreement between the two clubs. I remember us going over there for a couple of pre-season games at around the time when the partnership was first announced. 

The fox in the logo is part of that partnership agreement. Additionally, the team's nickname is "Foxes" and they use it particularly in their junior and pathway work. Link below and you might see a familiar mascot.

Not sure how active the collaboration is these days, but that's the story of the "Finnish Foxes" in a nutshell.

Tony Cottee on “sacked in the morning” currently on bbc two. Love listening to old footballers talking of their time playing, especially from his era and before (so many more characters than now). Talks about his time with us on about 25 minutes. He was great for us.

If he’s anything like Nick Cotton he’d be great at shooting and putting people in the box

I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but has anyone else noticed that we don’t feature at all on the Second Tier podcasts round up of matches?

Good. 

It's become nearly as bad as Not The Top 20. And that's saying a lot.

Odd given it was the biggest match of the weekend. They are 2 massive twats especially the guy who is more of the host.
Championship chat podcast is my preference or even not the top 20.

They are too busy doing the fake "we don't hate Leicester" crap on that pod yet their refusal to give us any credit last time around or so far this season exposes them for it

I refuse to listen to that utter crap. 
 

Unreal bias, may as well be ran by Stuart Atwell and Don Goodman.

I just tried out the latest episode of Championship Chat. After listening to them talk in depth about all the other teams, they also barely covered our game 🤣

What's their take on Southampton and Ipswich so far for those who bother to listen? Since they've both struggled far more than us so far.

 

I'd guess they were hoping to pile on a poor start for us to fit the narrative, so I'm guessing the only week we got any real attention was the Preston game. We haven't smashed it so far, sure, but we're ticking along fine, which must annoy them.

Leeds fans are too busy telling each other down the pub how massive they are, to be online…
