Guest shearfox Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 It was going to happen at some point.We've pushed our luck in the last few seasons and now the reckoning's come. £10-11 million down the toilet and I've every confidence we'll have to pay that back, not Mandaric. It's not Holloway, it's that coward Mandaric who paid bugger all for the club in the first place and couldn't be bothered to show up on the day that mattered, or was too scared. Milan - if you're not sure you should have got involved, follow Barber at the exit door and get lost. Ollie should take the blame, his tactics were suspect at times and Mandaric backed him with funds in January and he didn't bring in the players we needed to keep us up.
LCFCUSA Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 Doesnt help having to watch Southampton and Stoke celebrate on tv I guess that's the one positive that I have being in the US, don't have to put up with it. The best I can do is Radio Leicester, and it sounds like a mass exodus is going on.. stay positive no?
NorthernFox Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 I feel sick and can't quite take it in. Thank fook not at work tomorrow.
EXILEDFOX Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 Holloway OUT !!! SITTING ON THE BENCH, NO PASSION, NO LEADERSHIP..... bringing on Chambers in the 90th minute.... why ??????? clueless and all the players should be ashamed WANKERS CAN ALL FOOK OFF I GIVE UP ON YOU ALL.........................
Thracian Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 How fitting, how ironic and how deserved. We lost because we failed to score. We failed to score for the 11th time in 20 games. And we failed to score because, essentially, we didn't try to score. Today we waited for our closest rivals to fail. Our own commitment to attack lasted 15-20 minutes, near the end on this occasion, and that's basically been the story all season. Holloway's caution sent us down. When I read the team I wrote one word on my notes. Loopy. We need to win a game and go 4-5-1 with the one being Hayles, a striker as slow and cumberstone as we've probably ever had in that role. We played Oakley of the doubtful fitness and Worley who has no form at all and as far as I'm aware their effective impact was zero. Weso and King and Beswick didn't get a look in. Loopy. More inconsequential free-kicks and corners. More shit passing. Well done Holloway's experienced wondermen. Never was so much damage done to our club in so little time. The bloke should be ashamed and so should Mandaric for doing nothing about him.
Jordan Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 Shame on you for not making changes in the team until the last few remaining minutes of our history. I thought that Ollie held off on making changes until the 82nd minute because he was nervous and shitting himself. I'm sorry, soon-to-be-ex-Leicester-City-manager, but there's no excuse for not having a plan on what to do in that highly-likely situation.
l444ry Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 If Mandaric goes we could go into administration! Not if he sells the club. Anyway, are you seriously prepared to put your confidence in the prat?
Foxed Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 Yeah he got us out of the Championship, but in the wrong effing direction. That would be hilarious if it weren't so true. How the hell could Milan have had THIS shower of sh ite in his 3 year plan??????
perthfox Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 absolute crap,after 50 yrs supporting this club this is the worse side i have ever seen

stripeyfox Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 We've been getting worse each year. If we didn't go down this year, we probably would have next year. It's a shame but I care a lot less than I would have done a few years ago.

Ricey Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 We deserved to go down, we were sh*t today. I can't believe he put Hayles and Howard upfront with Howard in the hole. Probably the worst and most critical decison all season. Hayles was awful, absolutley awful. We only threatned when Hume moved inside, he's our best striker for ****s sake and he plays him as a winger. Holloway has got us relegated, as much as I like the guy, that's the truth of it. I'm gutted, can't believe we'll be playing Hereford and Yeovil next season.
The Reverend Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 Well, it hasn'y sunk in yet, but i prepared for this last week. Last Saturday was the day we went down. Massive re-building job on our hands now, Ollie has to go now im afraid, as much as i do think he'd be better in League One, he has to. Half the p[layers will be off. Will Mandaric be off? It's a sad day for the club, and the saddedst thing is its been coming for a long time now.
Thracian Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 Can i cry on your shoulder please Do what you like but I have had more than I can take of watching so called professionals do rank stupid things. We had the people to play fast-passing football today yet Holloway stuck two fingers right up their nostrils. Getting relegated is one thing. Getting relegated by default quite another. If the manager's chair was vacant I would have offered Mandaric the chance to employ someone who would never concede second best to anyone. Who would attempt to win games for 90 minutes and will always field enough attackers to achieve that end. I have tried and tried to persuade succeeding managers to abandon fear and have faith in some super players on our staff - to no avail. Our playing out of time against Charlton, the exiling of Gradel and and the shunting out of Shush! really did come back to haunt us, just as I explained and expected. In my last two full seasons as a football manager our team (I say "our" because there were others involved who deserved stacks of credit) won 79 games out of 80 and drew the other. In both of those years our team broke the League goalscoring record. Imagine therefore how I feel watching my home team - a team I revered in the days of Banks, McLintock, King, Appleton, Davie Gibson and Mike Stringellow - playing that sort of shit. Tonight our club's pride is being dragged through football circles like a shamed and condemned man in medieval times. Feelings are so hard to express. I cannot believe we didn't want people like Gradel and Shush!, nor that we left some of our best passers on the sidelines for the kind of team we employed today. Suggestions have been made that Holloway doesn't actually chose his own team and I don't know whether that's true or not. But whoever was responsible for today's excuse for football should be deeply, utterly, and irreconcilably ashamed. That wasn't just a 0-0 draw. It bore no relation to any sort of defensible football. I think we were an hour winning a corner, our passing was worse than Senior League standard and our shooting laughable such as there was. The second best defence in the League and we get relegated. You couldn't make it up. All because we didn't score and didn't really commit ourselves to scoring. On arguably the most important day of our footballing life. How, how, how can any manager live with that?
Rocky Dennis Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 Not if he sells the club. Anyway, are you seriously prepared to put your confidence in the prat? No, not really. I have zero confidence in him too, but who's gonna buy us now? No fooker was interested before Milan so def wont be now we're League 1 shite. Im just saying without Milans money i think we'd be in far deeper shite than we already are.
Corky Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 I said I wouldn't cry if we got relegated, but I nearly did when that final whistle went. . Our brillaint, passionate fans, who were magnificent today, I heard them loud and clear on the TV, do not deserve League 1 football. Leicester City is not a League 1 club, and Clemence's carefree attitude is the straw that's broken the camel's back. I just cannot get my head round it all.
Thracian Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 absolute crap,after 50 yrs supporting this club this is the worse side i have ever seen I've done the same 50 years and fully agree.
Chimp Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 Our whole gameplan seemed to be to get a 0-0, not to score a goal. And the riduculous substitutions that were far too late to make any impact. WTF? Get rid of this fuc.king imbelice we call our manager now please, he just stood there with a gormless look on his face for the whole match. I couldn't agree more. Our future was in our hands, we needed a win to guarantee safety. So what does this fukcing clown do? He plays a 4-5-1 formation with our leading goal scorer isolated on the wing, our second highest goal scorer in midfield, a fukcing geriatric has been up front, a youngster who hasn't played a minute of first team football in midfield leaving arguably our most effective midfielder on the bench. Unbelievable.
MC Prussian Posted 4 May 2008 Author Posted 4 May 2008 Having your team lose and go down to League One is one thing, living with this fact as a fan another. Plus, I'm not really looking forward to the media output tonight and tomorrow.
Mwah Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 Good luck in league one next season from an owls fan. Its tough down there. But i'm sure you can do it.
The Reverend Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 Good luck in league one next season from an owls fan.Its tough down there. But i'm sure you can do it. Cheers mate. We'll need it, thats for sure. As a few clubs have proved, you, Forest, its not as simple as getting straight back up. But hopefully we can do it.
