BBCRadioLeicesterSport Posted 29 July 2005 Share Posted 29 July 2005 Afternoon all, Right, after all the changes to the fixtures, we now know that we'll be doing the phone-in this Monday from the studios. If anyone would like to come into the studio and air their point of view on a number of topics then we would love to see you there, between 6-7, this Monday night. We are now based in the new building at St Nicholas Place. As I say, this is an open invite, but if you would like to come along, send me a quick e-mail so I have idea of numbers. [email protected] Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuliasz Posted 29 July 2005 Share Posted 29 July 2005 Wow this is a great idea, unfortunately I can't make it because I've got an exam retake the following day. Got to praise your work on improving the phone ins for this season though Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox in a Box Posted 29 July 2005 Share Posted 29 July 2005 This is an excellent opportunityfor some of the disgruntled fans to say there peice. Hi Jon, thanks for taking the time and EFFORT to listen to us, some of us are old and there are some younger ones too on this forum, so this should give you a cross section. Ladies / Gents please be nice to him as it's the foxestalk's chance to air its point of view....no abuse to him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBCRadioLeicesterSport Posted 29 July 2005 Author Share Posted 29 July 2005 Ahhh, come on - I'm not adverse to a bit of abuse now and again !!! Thanks for the nice comments - just hope you like the phone in more - I am keen to get as many different voices on as possible, and think a few people in the studio, as well as callers will help things to be a bit lively and more controversial. By the way, saw you were talking about a striker today - well spoke to Levein earlier and he IS definately trying to get one in, but doesn't seem overly concerned if it isn't in time for the Sheff Utd game. Connolly and Hughes won't play tomorrow, but expects them both to start next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBCRadioLeicesterSport Posted 29 July 2005 Author Share Posted 29 July 2005 Yeah, it's only a slight groin strain, but what's the point in taking the risk. Interesting to see if he starts the first game, having not played any competitive footy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't suppose you know who Levein is targeting? Rumours are that it's either Ian Hume or Kris Boyd? Have we got enough money to pay a transfer fee for a striker? Also do you know much about Canero and Levein's dislike for him? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBCRadioLeicesterSport Posted 29 July 2005 Author Share Posted 29 July 2005 No idea about a name for a striker - heard this stuff about Hume, but would be suprised if City have 500,000 to spend. Canero decision suprised me slightly after playing against Inter from the start, and also being in the Boston line-up. Levein told me today that he simply wasn't the kind of full back he wanted at the club; he wanted a more defensive-minded player in the full back positions. Bad time for Canero to leave though, would think it'll be difficult for him to find a club at this late stage - guess he'll go back to Scotland. The Levein interview i did earlier will be on about 18.20 tonight with a piece from McCarthy as well - admits to finding pre-season a killer this year !

Can certainly confirm that there isn't £500k to spend, its bargain basement shopping that needs to take place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 1 August 2005 Share Posted 1 August 2005 Can certainly confirm that there isn't £500k to spend, its bargain basement shopping that needs to take place 146508[/snapback] Well we've paid £250,000 for Gerrbrand and Gilbert so I would also be surprised if we had £500k. How much have we got then? A fee similar to the Gerrbrand and Gilbert deals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBCRadioLeicesterSport Posted 1 August 2005 Author Share Posted 1 August 2005 Not sure, would guess money for them came from Matt Heath and Jordan Stewart's departure, plus the money they saved from the likes of Walker and Dabizas. Tim Davies is on the phone-in in tonihgt, so why not ring up and ask him ! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox in a Box Posted 1 August 2005 Share Posted 1 August 2005 I dont think paying for a player is what it used to be, £250K will get you a half decent player the equivalent of £2m a few years back... Nils cost blackburn £3m ...cost us nowt....etc Usually the sticking point is the wages as most clubs wont pay through the nose now for a player, if a player knows whats good for him a wages drop and longer deal is better than ending up on the scrap heap...(Gemill????) Even the Prem is noticing this, only exceptional talent will be paid bucket loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
