Really disappointed to see Morgan and now Albrighton return to their original clubs rather than given positions here. 

You'd hope that they were offered roles, but god knows with how the clubs run

We employ the best in their field - We don’t just hand jobs out to the old boys.

 

We are an extremely tight and measured operation from top to bottom.

With RVN and his wish to attack with speed and space, I think having Albrighton would suit him perfectly. His early deliveries are what we need. He can even play RB. Can’t be worst than Justin at the minute.

Isn't Huth our loans manager? 

If he still is, with King and RVN we've got the base of a pretty good coaching 5 aside there.

Haha. I meant if Albrighton is still around he could well play a role unlike under Enzo when he was barely used.

I knew he retired 🤣

 

But I didn’t know he went back to Villa as a coach. A shame as he has a lot to offer to our coaching team, especially on how to deliver crosses early avoiding the marker.

Morgan’s at Forest ain’t he

Hated coaching, or specifically Villa? Can understand both

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Doing co-commentary for 5Live on Forest/Villa. Sounds really nervous.

Not sure where to put this but it might interest a few people over international weekend.

Leicester players ‘weren’t taking’ Premier League title win ‘seriously’
Speaking on Tea with Timbsy, Albrighton admitted that the Leicester squad weren’t taking the Premier League winning season that seriously until the final weeks of the campaign, with the former attacker saying that the group at the time made the entire year an incredible experience.

Albrighton said when asked about how Leicester players approached the historic season: “It sounds crazy to say, but we weren’t taking it seriously because of the group of lads, we were going out for champagne, doing pizza-making classes with Ranieri.

“I would not have wanted to experience that with another group of lads, that dressing room was just incredible, we’d just laugh about it like: ‘We’re top of the league at Christmas!’ But obviously, as it got closer, we started going: ‘Hold on, we could be playing Champions League next season,’ and then you start ticking things off.

“We’ve qualified for Champions League, now we’re in a title race, then we started looking at dates like when could we win the league, we were just on a high, it was so enjoyable to come off the pitch and thinking: ‘We’re winning this one.'”

Marc Albrighton almost wasn’t a part of Leicester’s title-winning team
Nearly ten years on from Leicester’s run to the Premier League title, it feels almost crazy to think of the squad and the main starting XI without Albrighton, who played as big a role in the squad as a Jamie Vardy or an N’Golo Kante.

Yet in an alternate timeline, there is a possibility that the winger was not part of the squad, with Albrighton once admitting that he considered leaving Leicester during the summer of 2015, just one year after signing for the Foxes.

As we know, though, Albrighton ended up staying and becoming one of the most important players in Ranieri’s system, with the winger then going on to become a modern-day Leicester legend after his achievements in Europe and beyond.
