i genuinely hope this will be a new and brighter chapter in the history of LCFC but i dont think we should slag off anyone from the old board who voices reservations about mandaric unless we really know the facts, they did manage to save the club from liquidation after all.

give them a break beighton 155, sounds like they gave their all and we can be proud of them.

i can see where people are coming from with the comments about hull being weak etc but over past couple of seasons we have often failed to beat teams that are not as good as us on paper/on form so im taking a lot of heart from our recent wins.

pretty much the whole successful period of mayburys playing career has been under craig levein - he was surplus to requirements at leeds before levein bought him and looked a very good player when levein was still here so i wonder if he needs a very specific type of manager to get the best out...

would not want iain dowie here, he is overrated, was very surprised when charlton gave him the job. obviously kellys lack of experience in transfer market is a concern but i think there are two thinks to be born in mind. firstly, in the summer he was very constrained in who he could bring...

think silver lining from yesterday was matty fryatt getting a goal, if we can get him and hume firing on all cylinders and playing the way they did in the final 3rd of last season then we'll have a decent season and will be looking hopefully towards the play offs rather than anxiously towards...

people had been speculating on various other threads about what would/should happen to kelly in the event of a takeover so i thought itd be a good idea to have a thread about it and give people a chance to state explicitly what they thought should happen. if you think its a crap thread then dont...

do people think, since it now looks extremely likely mandaric will buy the club, that we should stick with RK, an unproven inexperienced manager, or get in a big name. personally i think we should stick with RK, the team spirit, determination and work rate displayed by the players recently...

i was under the impression paddy mac was brought in cos kelly knew him from his time as a youth team coach in the North West.

wouldn't want to bring in too many players, think current squad has a bit of potential and our big problem in last 3 or 4 seasons has been lack of squad cohesion - we weren't sending out teams but random collections of journeymen. now that we've got some team spirit it would be a shame to...

so if the midland company supposedly interested in us is walkers we could go from having a pie company as our biggest shareholder to having a crisp company as the biggest shareholder. leicester city, the club with a big heart and a bigger belly.

wonder, if its true, which midland company are supposedly interested in us. cant be that many around who have the resources to blow £20 million or so on a football team

i think our lack of an out and out left back and the problems on right wing are issues but i agree with those who say central midfield is a problem - muzzy izzet showed the importance of having just one high quality central midfielder in the adams promotion season. cant think of many people...

if someone offered us 2 million plus we have to take it BUT we also have to ensure some kind of appearance/sell on clause is included in the deal as the fact is the best is probably yet to come from him and we want to ensure we get some benefit from that financially.

i hate the mexican waves, they always seem to herald an opposition goal amazing what a difference 4 games makes. traditional feeling of disappointment being replaced by optimism but more importantly than that pride. performances of wesolowski and sterman will hopefully have given hughes...

i think on paper we are capable of a top half finish. clearly it would be nice if the squad was bigger and there are one or two areas we could be weak in - wings for example. having said that, if the luck goes with us injury wise and one or two key players have a good season (fryatt and hume in...

kenton brings an enormous amount of championship experience to a squad still lacking in it - most of our defenders (and indeed most of the squad) have still got less than 2 full seasons at this level under their belts. so as far as that goes its a good signing but it is starting to look a bit...

i think johnsons a great signing, think he'll fit very much into the billy mckinlay mould - experienced pro who will quite simply run around the midfield winning the ball and giving simple passes - and i though mckinlay was a huge success for us in this division. also having a player like...

id like to see gerrbrand given an opportunity, looked a class act for the first few games he played. if we can retain him over the summer then centre back is looking pretty promising for us next season with a lot of competition

i agree with mad biker, williams is one of the most talented players in the division and has the potential to be a pretty good premiership player. unfortunately he also fits the mould of a lot of prem players in that while having loads of talent his work rate isnt the greatest and while you...

if hes interested i dont see how they cant give it to him IMO appointing Kelly with an experienced coach (maybe Graydon?) is the way to go. like a few other people i worry that this is just an extended honeymoon period were going through at the moment but the team just seem to be playing...

he's a decent definitely prem class striker IMO but hes overrated - everyone went on about his 24 goals in the prem but am i right in thinking about a dozen of those were penalties? dont get me wrong a goals a goal and i think he won a lot of them himself but i dont think it puts him quite...

i also thought williams was pretty good last night, produced some good passes and touches and actually worked hard and got stuck in which he doesnt always do. to say he was a waste of space is really harsh IMO. welsh looks pretty good as well, wouldnt mind if we were able to keep him - looks...

i thought what was really good about last night was that it was one of those games where the two teams were pretty evenly matched and there wasnt much to choose between them. earlier in the season and last season as well those were just the sort of games we tended to lose so it was really good...

as i was saying point isnt too bad but THREE IS WAY F**KING BETTER

gutting but IMO point would still be an ok result, just need to stop the losing streak and good that we've banged in a couple - only 2 in 6 previous games

awesome now just hold on to this, bloody hell sounds like we nearly got a 3rd

didnt the QPR goal come from a cross??

bit of a shame, he never really seemed all that suited to championship football. like everyone else on here im assuming/hoping that dublin and de vries have been allowed to leave to free up funds to pay compensation for a new manager

didnt the burnley chairman say yesterday that cotterill had gone AWOL and he hadn't spoken to him for 9 days - doesny exactly sound like its all happy families up there - its also been said in one or two of the news reports that cotterill didnt ok the akinbiyi transfer as well so he must be...

wish this idiot would stop saying its a good thing to lose - how is it possibly good to have yet again dominated a game and lost

i think we're better off keeping levein with continuity IMO being important and i like a lot of the more long term structural things hes done - lowering wage bill, bringing in young players etc i think having a director of football would be good - remember when robson asked terry venables to...

because from the sounds of it the side really put the effort in today

would be a shame if he left, has been one of our best players this season and i was of the opinion that we still had more to see from him. all these people talking about a 'williams deal' being shelved - i was never aware that there was anything more than speculation he might be off - was...

as ive said on another thread keegan, hes a good motivator and has a good track record of launching ailing former premiership teams up this division, also he's the sort of big name (which unfortunately might mean a big wage) who might attract one or 2 players we might not otherwise get as for...

i wouldnt be overjoyed either but realistically you've got to consider that we dont have much cash to spend and at this stage of the season clubs are going to be unwilling to part with successful strikers cheaply - so the list of possibilities is pretty short, we can either gamble on someone who...

Johnson hasnt exactly set the world alight this season though has he never really looked the same since he broke his leg, IMO we need someone whose confident and in form at the moment so they can come in and know where the back of the net is straight away - that would be the advantage of someone...

good luck to him, think he'll do really well for barnsley, ill always remember his 2 yard tap in against forest - a simple but sweet goal

yeh the last time everyone was really starting to get on his back we trashed sheffield united, we have to go for it though as with the way our defence has been we'll struggle to keep a clean sheet with ashton playing IMO

is clive really from leicester. get keegan in he definitely played for the tigers for years and for loughborough uni before that, though i dont know if he was actually born and bred around here
