Steven Posted 13 April 2006 Posted 13 April 2006 From the Mirror. The Mirror KELLY GETS FOXES JOB ROB KELLY will today be named new boss of Leicester after stunning the Foxes board with his rescue act. Kelly secured Championship survival by winning seven of 12 league games since Craig Levein was sacked in January. He was rewarded with a 12-month rolling contract. "Now we're safe everyone can look ahead and consider what direction to take," he said.
Guest Posted 13 April 2006 Posted 13 April 2006 As long as it keeps the Wolves from the door. I'm here all week!
Ric Flair Posted 13 April 2006 Posted 13 April 2006 Forget my other post in the other R Kelly thread, I think it will be today
luffbra Posted 13 April 2006 Posted 13 April 2006 Sounds pretty conclusive. Let's hope it's true. Still silence from most other sources
Thracian Posted 13 April 2006 Posted 13 April 2006 Sounds pretty conclusive. Let's hope it's true. Still silence from most other sources I hope it is true - the precise nature of the rolling contract sounds promising - but there is otherwise no substance to the story apart from a rather vague one-line quote and the Nationals have been so far off the mark lately that I'm still treating it as a risk-free-rumour. Everyone's aware that discussions are ongoing and a bit of chancy guesswork might get the Mirror a first and if it has to be modified later so what. What concerns me slightly is that the OS have posted a piece about Leicester's England Youth players but at 12-noon have still not got a word to say about Kelly.
Libertine Posted 13 April 2006 Posted 13 April 2006 I've heard that we're apparently revealing a new chairman today.
Louise Posted 13 April 2006 Posted 13 April 2006 I assumed this is what the FT were hinting at yesterday in the Guardian thread... Now, what about this new chairman then? Should improve the burgers apparently...
Tubes Posted 13 April 2006 Posted 13 April 2006 get in he deserves it!! has the club announced there to be a press conference??
Thracian Posted 13 April 2006 Posted 13 April 2006 get in he deserves it!! has the club announced there to be a press conference?? Errrr, no, but I've posted a "no word" comment that might prompt a reaction. The Mirror story could so easily have been a 2+2 gamble. Or Kelly could have had an offer and be considering it alongside any potential alternatives. Personally I wish the whole thing had been sorted three weeks ago. The additional stories in other newspapers (certainly the Express) seem to have been lifted from the one
Louise Posted 13 April 2006 Posted 13 April 2006 It takes time to set up chairs in the press conference room. I'll be amazed if it isn't announced between now and 2pm. 1pm is the usual.
Anish Posted 13 April 2006 Posted 13 April 2006 Let's hope it's true. It would be great news all round.
Ric Flair Posted 13 April 2006 Posted 13 April 2006 It's been agreed, they are just deciding on when to announce it from what i've heard. What's this about a new chairman? Or is that a joke because it takes ages for us to arrange a press conference and we need someone who can put chairs out quickly?

Or is that a joke because it takes ages for us to arrange a press conference and we need someone who can put chairs out quickly? Not a joke, the rumour has been going around for a while that we're going to get a new chairman. Ask Thracian's friend Bocadillo about it...
luffbra Posted 13 April 2006 Posted 13 April 2006 It's been agreed, they are just deciding on when to announce it from what i've heard. How do you know it's been agreed? I've been scouring the net and can't find anything. Really want to know it's happened
Ric Flair Posted 13 April 2006 Posted 13 April 2006 How do you know it's been agreed? I've been scouring the net and can't find anything. Really want to know it's happened According to Foxes_Trust it's only a matter of time.
luffbra Posted 13 April 2006 Posted 13 April 2006 According to Foxes_Trust it's only a matter of time. Great - thanks.
DB11 Posted 13 April 2006 Posted 13 April 2006 I don't think it's official yet but he'll get the job..or the board will get a hell of an earful from LCFC fans
Louise Posted 13 April 2006 Posted 13 April 2006 Looks like I'm going to be amazed... Come on LCFC, hurry up, the press don't need cream cakes and mineral water.
Janx Posted 13 April 2006 Posted 13 April 2006 In the words of Derek Griffiths as the Cinema commissionaire.... GET OOOOOON WITH IIIIIIIT!!!!!
Louise Posted 13 April 2006 Posted 13 April 2006 It takes time to set up chairs in the press conference room. I'll be amazed if it isn't announced between now and 2pm. 1pm is the usual. Pah, thanks for showing me up LCFC <_< Ok... *is amazed*
Libertine Posted 13 April 2006 Posted 13 April 2006 Maybe they'll do it at 6 - 6.30pm like when CL was axed.
Phube Posted 13 April 2006 Posted 13 April 2006 Maybe they'll do it at 6 - 6.30pm like when CL was axed. Nah, like I said in a previous thread, If they had any showmanship they'd get the Birch to announce it on Saturday just before kick off (like being out of admin, getting permission to build on Bede island etc..)
