Don't get me wrong, I don't like it how it is nowadays. I'd much prefer the way football used to be when money wasn't the overwhelming thing in every owners/managers/players mind. If you actually think that money isn't the only thing they care about here, you're deluded. That oh so special FA...

Yeah. How romantic it is to see lower league teams celebrating draws rather than trying to win cup ties.

I'd love to see some of these whining clubs actually tell us how much they calculate the difference to be to them between having FA Cup replays vs. no replays. If someone did this, the increased funding that has been promised by the FA could be compared to the potential loss. If they're...

If Ricardo is struggling, we'll be better off holding him back to play against Southampton on Tuesday. Vardy has been totally shite recently so no loss. I'd start Iheanacho tomorrow.

I'll have you know that I've not nodded off during a game for a few months now. Us going to shit has definitely made the games more watchable.

It's no argument if lower league clubs need the lottery nature of replays for financial support. How often does your average League Two side get a 'bumper' pay day? Maybe once every decade. There is absolutely a conversation to be had on how money is distributed down the leagues and I'm all in...

Personally, I couldn't give a shit about getting rid of replays. There is far too much football already. If the FL have a problem, they could bring them back in for the LC.

By Laurence Cawley BBC News, Leicester A BBC editor accused of breaching Covid rules was "angry" and sought to find the whistleblower, a tribunal heard. The protected disclosure was made in 2021 by the BBC Leicester City reporter Ian Stringer against station editor Kamlesh Purohit. Mr Stringer...

Coady is massively short of match fitness now. He's also liable to be exposed in a wide defensive position just as badly, if not more so, than Faes. It's Coady or Vestergaard and EM made his choice a long time ago. The time has come and gone where we could make such a change.

By Laurence Cawley BBC News, Leicester An arrangement in which the BBC's Leicester City reporter got free leases on a BMW and an Audi were "blatantly wrong", a tribunal heard. Ian Stringer was hired by BBC Leicester in 2008 and sacked in 2022 for what the BBC says was misconduct. An employment...

Does it look like they're playing for him at the moment?

Not at all. We need people who challenge the bullshit that we're asked to believe and you're absolutely within your rights to do so. I'm just not comfortable with going after someone who may actually be vulnerable.

Everybody will have a point at which they've had enough of Aiyawatt and his family. It's absolutely fair enough to need more derogation and decline before you are prepared to go there. Of course they have plenty of credit because they're unquestionably the best owners we've ever had. The...

It's certainly possible that he has tried to play the mental health card during this whole thing. However, it is more likely that he has had genuine struggles as a result of losing his career. He has written about certain people 'saving him'. In a situation such as this, I think the only...

I don't know how else to make the point. If you support the board, you have to accept the structure they are committed to and the people that go along with it. Asking for some change is nonsensical. It isn't going to happen. Whelan and Rudkin are there because that's how Aiyawatt wants it...

Okay. But it's the board that are backing them so the contradiction remains. Aiyawatt has demonstrated over and over that he he won't make the changes you want. Internal review etc. So the changes you are calling for won't happen and you are unequivocal that Aiyawatt must be supported. You...

Laurence Cawley BBC News, Leicester A former BBC sports journalist claims he was unfairly dismissed for whistleblowing. Ian Stringer was employed by BBC Leicester as a sports journalist in 2008 after he appeared on the BBC’s show The Apprentice. An employment tribunal in Leicester heard Mr...

I don't understand your contradiction. The board currently consists of four people; Aiyawatt, his older brother Apichet, Susan Whelan and the mysterious Shilai Lui. In addition, Matthew Phillips was appointed to the board to act as Secretary after the end of last season. You want them to go...

Not only that, but I suspect we'd give him a bumper new contract which we'll have to pay up when we inevitably sack him before Xmas.

Reports from this case will be of interest to a number of us. Ian disappeared from RL rather urgently and never a word was spoken about it. Subsequently, he has gone public about his mental health struggles and there has been plenty of sympathy shown towards him. When the topic of RL or some of...

This is going too far now.

I'm going to choose to ignore everything but this part of your post. Just because it's boring. On Maddison, my view has always been consistent. He's doing for Spurs what he did for us. For 3 months of the season, he's excellent, 3 months he's mainly missing in action and 3 months he's injured...

No. That's not what I said. I've specifically addressed where I think we went wrong with Daka a while ago. I think your approach of claiming your chosen players are shit irrespective of what they do or what they've done, is far more problematic.

Congratulations. I'm sure you loved posting this. I've addressed everything you've made up here many times before. You've chosen to use misrepresentation to feel better about yourself. You are welcome to your view.

It's easy. When objectively decent players go to shit, it's never the right thing to focus your anger at them. Players are brainwashed lumps of meat. Conditioned from an early age to unquestionably do what they're told. It's always the manager/coaching/club that are to blame. Always...

Exactly right. We're making everything worse with our attitude to the charges we face. Agreeing to take a big reduction this season is obviously the right thing for our long term future. The short term thinking is going to kill us for a long time.

As long as I can call her Patson Kaka and play her up front for the last four matches.

Truest thing you've posted that. CF can get carried away with his Pearson-blinkered ways. You're one of those that went after him way too hard though - however things end up. He clearly is a genuine City fan.

It must be some dog that. Right. Now listen. I've been authorised to offer £49,999 and an additional £1 every second until the sun collapses. That's our final offer.

What do you think I am? I have been observing Jon Rudkin for years now. £10,000 and it's a deal.

Just ordered a ticket for the Preston game. May seem odd. I am a bit odd.

15 months ago I posted this in here:

I can't even muster the passion to get angry. Entitled on the pitch. Entitled in the dugout. Entitled in the board room. Can't stand any of 'em. Hope it all goes to shit so they suffer.

Can't stand any of 'em.

Vardy had been on for almost 20 minutes before he had his first touch.

We're winning on possession.

This is a Paulo Sousa level performance second half. Players don't believe in the manager.
