    Claudio Ranieri Appointed Manager

    Of course we'll all get behind him 'cause that's our job as fans and if he feels he has our support then it will make his job easier and the players are more likely to respond positively to him. Welcome Claudio. Just hope that he is still hungry enough as a manager to put in all the long hours...

    Post Match Leicester 1 Chelsea 3

    Pat Murphy completely undermined his argument. Who was the bully in that exchange? Murphy was worse as it was a premeditated attack. Like all bullies he picked his target carefully - a smaller club manager - he would never dare take that approach to Mourinho or Ferguson. Shameful journalism.

    Confirmed Transfer Leicester City to Premier League

    Feel a bit numb. Live within 4 miles of Chelsea and Fulham grounds and my two sons were 9 and 11 when we were last in Prem. Now 21 and 19 but they kept the faith so I'm doubly pleased for them.

    Best City 11: Strikers

    Frank Worthington. Sheer entertainment value. The most skillful English centre forward of his day. The sad truth is that we'll probably never have see equivalent players in our team again. But I hope I'm wrong.

    Pearson In

    There is no quick fix to build a successful organisation (be it a business or a sports team). You have to create a culture where everyone is pulling in the same direction. When NP took over from Sven the KP was a basket case - Sven had collected players like they were cigarette cards. NP has...

    Capital One Cup second round

    Crawley Town away would be quite handy for me and if you're going to be near gatwick airport around that time then a night in the travel lodge and on to the game might be a winning package.

    Post Match Torquay 0 - 4 Leicester City - League Cup

    What seems to have been missed is that Torquay is the heart of English Riviera so it was a bit like playing in Europe. Good experience for when we've won the Captial Cup (if that still qualifies for Europe).

    Confirmed Transfer Six Players Leaving

    He had a very good first touch and was streets ahead of anyone else we had in getting his head to any long ball. He was commited, braver than any other striker we have and never hid. He served us with great credit.

    Speculation Heskey - Again!

    EH has been the most over criticised player on the face of the planet in the last 10 years and I'd love to see him at KP next season. I think he'd be brilliant in the Champ.

    Pre Match Chelsea v Leicester, FA cup

    I had a ticket but have had to go to New Delhi on business. Any Foxes fans in Delhi know where this might be shown? I've scanned the TV listings online and can't see any channel showing it.

    Post Match FA Cup 3rd Round - Forest 0 - 0 Leicester City

    Who was our substitute wearing No 36? I've never seen him before. He looks a bit like Gary Cahill. Beckford has had a confidence implosion and as a result his decision making has gone haywire. Konchesky is our most consistent player and had another very solid game. Wellens certainly helped us...

    Speculation Leicester refused permission to talk to Pearson?

    If Beckford can turn the 15 minutes he showed against Leeds into 90 minutes for the rest of the season he might be the one firing us into the Prem rather than his loan club.

    Jermaine Beckford

    To be fair Beckford was trying to make a few runs against WH but they weren't really inviting the pass. I think our fans are worse than most at getting on a player's back, and Beckford certainly has the noisy minority howling at his every mistake. This only makes things worse - he gets nervous...

    Sven sacked

    The only small pleasure after a bad game was "phone-in bingo" on the way home - you could check them off: 3 x Sack Sven 1 x Bring back Pearson 1 x Bring back Fryatt House! But I never thought anyone was taking it seriously...

    Should Sven have been sacked?

    Are the new owners closet Forest Fans? Next: A Hero's Return for Gary Megson.

    Should Sven have been sacked?

    Absolute madness. I can't believe it. I don't suppose we've got Gus Hiddink lined up 'cos that's what it would take to make me think this was a good idea.

    Speculation Robbie Keane

    I love reading this stuff. 1. A proven premiership goalscorer 2. he's 31 not 41 3. Our plan is to get promoted this season - this isn't a 5 year plan we're working on 4. Intelligent player, good movement, 2 footed. 5. Hunger? Typical Irish fire-in-the-belly player - genetically not capable...

    Speculation David Beckham

    I've never put a player's name on my replica shirt before (except for the kids'), not even Mancini, but in DB's case I'd make an exception. Assuming it's £1.50 a letter that's £10.50 the club will clawback immediately (I'd buy the shirt anyway, of course). It all adds up....

    Sven

    I hope it is Sven. I thought he was a great England manager - he never failed to get us qualified for Euros / World Cup. I have say we are one of the few clubs who give more excitement to the fans when they're not playing.

    Sousa Sacked!

    Disappointed that we didn't give him longer. Clearly a quality guy, but not a lucky guy.

    Cardiff City home 2-1

    I put money on us on Sunday from promotion. I've seen some shocking City teams in years gone by - 3 passes are we'd hoof it away in panic. But this is an excellent squad with strength on the bench (a big factor over 46 games) playing proper football. Given the profound change in approach it is...

    Martyn Waghorn

    This is just the boost we needed - permanent signing of a 100% committed player who can only improve, part funded by a selling on a player who didn't want to be here anyway.If its true that we beat Hull to Waggy then its even sweeter. Roll on the Ricoh.

    The Whole Pearson Leaving and Sousa being appointed story.

    What is clear is that Milan and Hoos were prepared to let NP go. What is not clear is why? Given that Milan is not a fool and it's his money at risk, there must be a very good reason for letting a rival club take a manager that came close to getting back-to-back promotions. It sounds reasonable...

    Play-off tickets

    If you break down our average attendance into bands of supporters who attend matches with different regularity (see table below), then you can get to a population base of supporters who are active supporters (i.e. turn up to watch matches at some point in the season). So if 12,500 of our average...

    Campbell

    I know nothing of JK's cherries, so am not qualified to comment. As far as Adams is concerned, I think he gets consumed by nerves. I'm sure he's brilliant in training and you can see glimpses of what he could be capable of, but generally he's ineffective not taking responsibility. As for...

    Waghorn over Fryatt any day

    This is a foxes debating forum and at least its a proper football question. The key point is that the only reason we are even able to debate this is because for the first time in years, we have a bench that actually deserve a starting place. A proper squad fighting for the shirt. For us...

    Fryatt to Hull

    For the first time in 7 years we have a team that has a real chance to challenge for promotion to the Prem. The fact that its a relatively settled side (by our standards, at least) is no coincidence. The value of promotion would make any transfer proceeds on Fryatt look like small change. Why...

    I'll be giving a cheer for Hume on Saturday. He wore the shirt with pride, was one of our better players in a very poor side, never gave up, was played out of position but didn't get the hump, was always brave, brought in some much needed cash when we disappeared of the radar, came back to the...

    Mattock hands in transfer request

    We've no option but to throw the poisoness little virus overboard. We don't want his disaffection infecting the team spirit NP's built up. Let him go to those big clubs like Forest or Baggies. Jeez, the Baggies! It was only 6 or 7 years ago they were a tiny, irrelvant club and that's where...
