The Reverend Posted 19 January 2006 Share Posted 19 January 2006 Where is our chairman in our hour of need? It is obvious to everyone that we need new faces, especially a proven striker. Matty Fryatt was a good signing but it is going to take time for him to adjust to the Championship, time that we do not have. There are teams of no greater size than us spending money. Look at Wolves. They have had a bid of 1.4 million accepted for MK Dons striker Izale Mcleod. I'm afraid that unless we buy a proven striker such as Geoff Horsefield, the future looks bleak. Leicester are a big club and need a chairman who is willing to put money into the pot. Fair enough, he has gave us must be something like 1.5 million on a few players this season, but whats happened to the money gained from the sale of David Connolly? Theres 3 milion straight off. There are those of you that will say half of that money has been used, but isnt the whole point in being a chairman putting money into the club to get the rewards on the pitch? Who actually is our Chairman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, i agree with that We have some good strikers but Levein wont play the obvious best partnership which is Fryatt and Hume. We still need a goalscorer though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who actually is our Chairman? Good lord. Right here we go. There are teams of no greater size than us spending money. Look at Wolves. They have had a bid of 1.4 million accepted for MK Dons striker Izale Mcleod. Have you forgotten about administration? We are stuck paying a big fat mortgage on a ground we don't even own! Last time I looked wolves have not been in administration!! Leicester are a big club and need a chairman who is willing to put money into the pot. Wouldn't every club love one of them? Unfortunately 90% of the clubs out there don't have one! Fair enough, he has gave us must be something like 1.5 million on a few players this season Not he didn't. That is the clubs own money made through tickets, shirts, programme, tv, parachute payments and players sales etc. but whats happened to the money gained from the sale of David Connolly? Theres 3 milion straight off. No it isn't though. Wigan gave us 2 million rising to 3 IF they stay up. As you pointed out we have already spent a big chunk of that 2million. The remainder would have been used to cover the short fall in lower attendances. but isnt the whole point in being a chairman putting money into the club to get the rewards on the pitch? NO Who actually is our Chairman? Jim McCahill I believe. Someone correct me if i'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browny87 Posted 19 January 2006 Share Posted 19 January 2006 At times like this the boards and chairman have to act before its too late, funds need to be provided as it is crucial we sign another 2 players even on loan to help get us out of this mess. There is still a long way to go in this season and there is still time to turn things around we have to remember so it would be nice if they showed some faith and put up the money.

There is still a long way to go in this season and there is still time to turn things around we have to remember so it would be nice if they showed some faith and put up the money. You can have as many players as you like but if you don't pick a team that brings the best out of them and you don't inspire them to shine or to overwhelm opponents when they get on top you've got next to no chance. Look at people like Williams, Hume, Smith, Sheehan, Hamill, Maybury, Dublin.....has he really got the best out of them? The only ones who have truly shone under his management are Stearman, Gudjonsson and possibly Wesolowski when he's fit because he was certainly getting a chance before he was injured. Non of the people I would describe (loosely) as ballplayers (first five on the list) have excelled. Smith has been wonderful to watch at times but is consistently playing below his potential. Levein can't seem to recognise it takes different types to make an ideal football team and the manager's skill is to get the right blend, the right line-up to best suit the players he uses and to make each one do his own thing to a higher level than he's ever known. It is not to turn wingers into defenders and creative midfielders into snarling ballwinners. You only get extras out of people when they're doing their own thing well and we're not right now.

We still need a goalscorer though How do you know that? a) It is the best partnership, they have never played together b) Fryatt wasn't fully fit for the last game, so how do you know that won't be his pairing this week?

You say Fryatt is a good signing but not proven at this level then you use McLeod as an example of other clubs signing proven strikers! Well McLeod is equally as unproven at this level and hasn't even scored as many goals as Fryatt has either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
