PAULCFC Posted 16 April 2007 Posted 16 April 2007 Wondering if anyone can recap the last week for me.Went to the derby game,but was away in spain for the plymouth and norwich games.just found out we lost by 3 at plymouth.Was Kelly sacked straight after the plymouth game?First i heard was when i was listening to a crackly R5 on weds or thurs and they were having a press conference about wortington.
lookwhaticando Posted 16 April 2007 Posted 16 April 2007 Monday Lose 3-0 to Plymouth. Totally awful performance. Kelly brands it by far "the worst" of his reign. Those who heard his post match on Radio Leicester said Kelly sounded distraught, suicidal almost. It's widely suggested by the FoxesTalk massiv' that Rob clearly accepts that his time is up, as if he knows already that he's about to be sacked. Tuesday The usual post-defeat rumblings on FoxesTalk, Kelly Out etc etc. Tuesday night, news breaks that Chris Coleman (a FoxesTalk favourite manager) has been sacked by Fulham. Wednesday Plymouth again prove to be the downfall of a Leicester City manager, as Rob Kelly is sacked that morning. Nigel Worthington is appointed as manager on a caretaker basis. Charged with keeping City up with the 5 remaining games. Thursday Worthington's reign begins as he meets the squad for the first time - little over 48 hours before his first game in charge. He says some nice things about the current squad, and how he thinks the quality is there. FoxesTalk opinion is decidedly negative with regards to Worthington. Numerous new topics by numerous members foretell the danger in appointing another manager on the back of a caretaker spell (cast your mind back 14 months). There seemed little positive support for Worthington's intended short reign. It's commonly assumed that he'll get the job full-time, which it's also been assumed would be a complete disaster for the club. Friday More niceness from Worthington. Makes positive noises about his approach. Anti-Worthingtonist sentiment persists, more new Worthington Out topics and so on... Saturday The big day. The surprise is the inclusion of Mattock (age 16) in the 16 on the day. McAuley - back from a month out due to injury - is placed into his centre-half position at the expense of Kenton who's moved out to the right hand side at the expense of Stearman. Kenton - shipped out by Worthington many years ago - got the Worthington era off to a dream start by scoring less than a minute in. Injury forced Kenton off about 30 minutes later, Stearman came on. Things looked good until the last 20-odd minutes when the team ran out of steam. Little shrek caused panic in defence which led to Kisnorbo handballing for a penalty. 1-1. A corner a little while later resulted in a McAuley own goal. McAuley was clearly off the pace and unfit - more so than the rest of the squad. McAuley immediately made way for Mattock, but the damage was done and we lost 2-1. More anti-Worthingtonist sentiment is produced on FoxesTalk, and now we look doomed apparently. Worthington said after the match that the squad is desperately unfit. Fitness levels don't change in a matter of 48 hours, so Worthington had little chance to right such wrongs - ever noticed how often we blow a game in the last 20? Exactly. And that's about it, really.
PAULCFC Posted 16 April 2007 Author Posted 16 April 2007 Cheers mate,much apreciated.Not sure if i'm looking forward to tuesday night now.I was 85% sure that we'd stay up a week ago.Now it's more like 35%.Thaks again for the info.
FilboFox Posted 16 April 2007 Posted 16 April 2007 Hmm... a good way to sum up a pretty poor week for Leicester City FC. We have never been relegated out of the top two divisions before in our entire history...........

Tuesday night is Birmingham. Our players have an uncanny knack of not being quite so shit against top teams (Villa, Fulham, Derby, Birmingham...)
FilboFox Posted 16 April 2007 Posted 16 April 2007 Tuesday night is Birmingham.Our players have an uncanny knack of not being quite so shit against top teams (Villa, Fulham, Derby, Birmingham...) Lets hope so... we need the points!
PAULCFC Posted 16 April 2007 Author Posted 16 April 2007 Let's hope so!Still be up at preston at the weekend(Blackpools to close not to!)
Daggers Posted 16 April 2007 Posted 16 April 2007 Monday Somewhere near Dartmoor a team loses in an inept fashion. By some quirk of the judicial system, Kelly and the boys are allowed to leave by plane rather than be retained within the walls of Princetown maximum security prison. Fortunately, Karma exists and the plane was greeted by none less than joeb. That'll learn Kelly's heroes. Tuesday We had a nice mackerel salad for teatime, with a chili oil I made myself. Rob Kelly's neck must have been feeling as hot as my ringpiece as his aftermatch interview had all but fessed up to the fact that he no longer had a job. Quickly, he accepted Milan's offer of a years salary and drove North to his pre-arranged employment. Wednesday Milan knew that the one thing Rob Kelly lacked was personality and a winning record - so he appointed a man just like Rob to ensure the players did not suffer from culture shock. Nigel Worthington arrived with a bag full of ready-made quotations while all of the team had the day off. Thursday Having been in the job one day, Worthington took a training session - the pictures of which were enough to convince Thracian that he was definitely NOT the man for the job. "Look at his choice of boots!" Thracian said "It is obvious that those are the boots of someone with no intention of attacking or playing more youth team players." By the time I had made a prawn salad for teatime there had been 27 "Worthington Out" polls and seventeen "Thracian is right" threads. Friday I ate bananas in muesli for breakfast. On the training ground Worthington got the players to understand the need for a good work rate. In the afternoon I went to see Mr.Beans Holiday while the players were drilled in honesty. Barton Fox wrote eight "I told you so, you all hate me" threads Saturday The sun shone as never before on an April 14th, children played in the street and grown men wept with tears of joy. Today was truly the dawning of a new era, a new approach to team football and would bring with it a reversal of our recent fortunes. The match thread was started by someone new, the drum was given to a fat man in N1 and I wore new pants. After 90 seconds of liquid, one-touch attacking football we were one-nil up and the players ran out of energy. Rather than give them a Red Bull, Wortho stood on the touchline like some camp TV host and waved to Levi Porter a lot. At the end of 90 minutes everyone left the ground to contemplate becoming Japanese so they could commit ritual suicide...the sky became overcast and no one smiled. Sunday With the realisation that we are going to get relegated, Moderators work overtime in order to stem the flood of League 1-related threads popping up on a bi-minutely basis. The penny drops that certain people are to blame for this crisis - Ultra and the Foxes Trust are executed, and a party is arranged for Wednesday night.
Phlashman Posted 16 April 2007 Posted 16 April 2007 Also Bookies stopped taking bets on Paul Ince being the next manager. Pretty much every says he's a dead cert.
