Sven said they were going to try to sign all loanees - he thought Yakubu would sign if we were going up, obviously that won't happen now.

His opinion of Bruma might have changed during the last few games.
 
Like it. i never thought of including the management staff


For those who missed the news Sousa and his instantly forgetable sidekick were replaced several months ago.

It is of course tempting to get irritated with Filthy and Rotherham. Instead I feel we should remind them of some Leicester history that they may not know.

As Jimmy Bloomfield struggled the replace the ageing Weller-Birchenall-Glover side the fans turned against him. The fans got one of the two best managers of my time dismissed and we got relegated under his hapless successor.

When Martin O'Neill the other of the great managers came we had some shocking results. Many fans thought O'Neill was ruining an excellent team.

Hazzman recently complained about those who use History to back up their views. However, these are two events I remember vividly because in both of them I and many others were in the wrong.

For those with the historical grasp of a goldfish - and I hope this does not include Filthy and Rotherham - let me recap some really recent Leicester history.

When players came back for their pre-season Nigel Pearson had been replaced by a Portuguese with all the fashion style of a Brian Sewell and about as much understanding of the game. Sousa brought in a number of players one of which Vitor was moderately successful; one of which the voweless Slovenian has never even made the bench.

The pre-season was well over, loads of deals had been done by other clubs and we were bottom when Sven came on the scene. Most people understand the word bottom but for those wanting Sven out can I explain that bottom means that we were below Preston and Scunthorpe. Does anybody really think that if we had appointed Southgate or Coleman that we would even have been discussing play-offs in the second half of the season?

In the summer Sven will have the chance to have his type of pre-season training and bonding. He will also be sorting out loans and transfers during the summer rather than searching round for "leftovers." As we found with the differing performances under Pearson and Sousa the preseason is when a manager stamps his personality for good or ill on the team.

Leicester became a joke for it's turnover of managers - four in the season we got relegated. We have now got a superb manager and we should let him get on with the job.
 
We should release everyone other than Waggy and bring back Barry Hayles. Clone them enough times to fill a squad and everyones happy.
 
i agree lamey should be offered more cash and new 5 year deal to stay. i hope sven realises how good he is....
 
I wonder how much of this clashes with Sven's thinking.

Not funny.

Sorry.
