Tomassi Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 I wish David Connolly the best of luck in the Premiership with Wigan.. ..thanks for 13 months of service and a 400% profit You've been a credit to Leicester City whilst we are going through a dark stage. Hope to see you in the Premiership in the coming seasons. Many thanks.
The People's Hero Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 Always worked hard despite never really being rewarded with decent service or even a half decent strike partner.
rossporterlc Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 i'm so depressed now it's coming true, can't blame DC, it's a shame lower clubs cannot hold on to their best players though
EmLeee Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 Good Luck Dave! Remember - You'll never get another Banner I'm gutted (Banner's being moved into the wardrobe now. It can join the Muzzy one)
Cat Burger Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 I too, really want him to do well. He's the ultimate professional, all players should be like him.
Granno Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 GOOD LUCK CONNERS...THANKS FOR EVERYTHING...GO AND OUTSCORE EVERYONE IN THE PREM.....N CHEERS FOR THE 400% + PROFIT
Hitesh Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 I wish him all the best! Its not his fault Leicester city are more obsessed about money than football!
The People's Hero Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 I wish him all the best! Its not his fault Leicester city are more obsessed about money than football! Sorry mate but that's ridiculous. The club would be stupid to turn down that sort of money. Have you already forgotten about how close to the wire we went?
rossporterlc Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 Sorry mate but that's ridiculous. The club would be stupid to turn down that sort of money. Have you already forgotten about how close to the wire we went? we have sacrificed our best player for a little bit of cash, so now we have no realistic hope of promotion, well done club, attandances going to be sky high aren't they
The People's Hero Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 It's hardly a sacrifice when the offer was in the region of £2million. I don't see that the club would really have justified doing differently.
rossporterlc Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 It's hardly a sacrifice when the offer was in the region of £2million. I don't see that the club would really have justified doing differently. what use is £2m to the team though if it just lines the clubs pockets, we have elvis as a replacement, wow watch out play offs <_<
The People's Hero Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 Using that logic, you'd never sell any players, just collect them like Peter Taylor. He signed for £500k. He was a good player for us and easily our biggest goal threat this season but we could not turn down £2million for him. I admit that it does damage our chances of promotion, but let's see how Levein reacts to it and how things go. Bigger and better players have left this club in the past and the club is still here. And as for what good is the club having money? I'd rather we lost a good player every year and still had a club to support than repeated past mistakes and LCFC caesed to be.

Hope to see you in the Premiership in the coming seasons. Many thanks. Ditto. Fair Play Connolly. I think this represents an excellent deal for both player and club. I wish you well at Wigan
Hitesh Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 Sorry mate but that's ridiculous. The club would be stupid to turn down that sort of money. Have you already forgotten about how close to the wire we went? But if you read my other thread....if we keep Connolly then we have a realistic chance of promotion AND then we can make MORE than £2m just in the play-offs! Therefore, proving that the board has very little ambition and is prepared to see the club sit in the Championship for a few season!
King Kyle lcfc Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 There once was a player called conners Like many before he's gonners He's gone to the latics Who are really rugby fanatics Lets hope we sign someone like Ronners (ronaldo)
Thracian Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 I wish him all the best! Its not his fault Leicester city are more obsessed about money than football! Don't think that's altogether fair. Leicester need to balance the books like every other club and I'd have thought as a City fan you'd have had enough of financial brinkmanship. It's what Levein does next that matters.
Hitesh Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 Don't think that's altogether fair. Leicester need to balance the books like every other club and I'd have thought as a City fan you'd have had enough of financial brinkmanship. It's what Levein does next that matters. I do remember what the club went through and i understand the financial situation but why wait until the last day of the window to sell him if we were in a tight situation. Plus, selling him today doesnt leave much time for Levein.
Leicester_Mad Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 I too, really want him to do well. He's the ultimate professional, all players should be like him. Wouldnt go that far but he deserves a crack at the Premiership after his service at this level - especially at Wimbledon.
Jimmy Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 what use is £2m to the team though if it just lines the clubs pockets, we have elvis as a replacement, wow watch out play offs <_< the way it works is the board keep sum to pay debts, cl gets most of it, we've replaced connors with iain hume, and i'm sure others will come if not now then in january
Cat Burger Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 Guys, I'm sure he will want to go, so stop arguing.
Head Honcho Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 Plus, selling him today doesnt leave much time for Levein. I think that was the point of selling him today!!
PRIOR09 Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 but if we had sold him 3 weeks ago, we would not of got 2million for him. Anyway, apparently Connolly is a moody and arrogant git, so if we had rejected the bid, there would of been serious unrest in the the camp and he would not be giving 100%.
Louise Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 Confirmed now on SSN, signed a three year deal with Wigan. Good luck David.
marko Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 Confirmed now on SSN, signed a three year deal with Wigan. Good luck David. Never mind, onwards and upwards (hopefully)
Ric Flair Posted 31 August 2005 Posted 31 August 2005 Confirmed now on SSN, signed a three year deal with Wigan. Good luck David. Good luck Connolly. It was a pleasure to have you at Leicester, one of the best technical players i've seen in a long while. It's a shame we didn't play to your strengths because not only would you have scored more goals, but you'd probably have netted us another few million aswell. All the best, i'll look out for your name on teletext on a regular basis hopefully.
