obviously, whoever is identified as making the racist comments needs sacking. anyone involved who isn't identified as making racist comments but was present needs "managing" out of the club imo. the worry is how this might affect the squad and of course Nigel Pearson's mentality and attitude...

nugent has a far better strike rate in international football than kevin doyle. neither is particularly relevant to either at the moment. nugent may not have been prolific in the last 30 games, but doyle hasn't been prolific during the last 2 years. have seen kevin doyle a fair bit for wolves...

good stuff, we needed another body in central midfield; getting someone with his experience is a bonus, from what the soton fans are saying he sounds like a no-frills central midfielder, major drawback seems to be lack of pace but you don't need that for the 'neil lennon' role. seems like we...

marshall had a few great moments, but ultimately he didn't affect the game enough, wasn't quick, couldn't beat his man, offered nothing defensively. looked to have great potential when he signed, turned out to be a slightly better version of paul gallagher. also didn't really carve out a...

i think the opposition are obviously more aware of knockaert than they were at the start of last season. he's clearly extremely gifted (his performance vs huddersfield away was absolutely stunning, not just his goals but his whole game, was unplayable), but he's immature and makes bad decisions...

he's only ever a booty call away from Vicky the vixen though. Filbert's a playa, 99 problems but a bitch ain't one.

i agree with most of that, i'd like us to go with schlupp at left wingback, but that's how i'd like us to line up at home. we dropped a lot of points away from home last season though, and we need to be harder to beat, so if we are unchanged today i won't mind that too much. i'd rather see us...

yeah, pearson's definitely a fool, in the three full seasons he's managed us he's only managed one title win and two play-off finishes. no way does he deserve another chance. we should get martin allen or rob kelly back in, if we can't get wenger or fergie. i honestly can't really remember...

you think that's bad, ranieri just made 11 changes. 11!!!11!!!!! RANIERI OUT.

quality player with a combative attitude and a great football brain, ideal for cm in the championship. our best player in 2009-10, thanks richie

i'm more concerned about reading than wigan to be honest. wigan will lose more players in all probability, and coyle was crap at bolton and fluked a play-off win with burnley having finished 6th. don't rate him at all, just talks a good game. it's crazy to say wigan are certs to challenge/we'll...

hopefully we, like cardiff last year, will have benefitted from having a settled squad that is gelled and is more than the sum of its parts. as said, there's lots of 'ifs' around the squad, but if marshall can find his form, if knockaert and schlupp improve on last year as they should do at...

berra has been a big part of one of the worst, most gutless defences in any league for the last few years. granted he's on a free and we need cover at cb, but i certainly wouldn't be getting excited if he signs.

i think bannan would be a good signing, got a lot of quality on the ball, good at set pieces. could be one of those players who drops down from the prem that makes a big impact in the division. would definitely give us more creativity in midfield although we already have one light-weight...

you're reading an awful lot into the fact that we haven't signed anyone by the end of May there. doing things early in the summer is best, but it's still early days and i think generally we don't hear much about pearson's signings until they actually happen. DON'T PANIC DON'T PANIC also...

not doubting what you were told, but i can't believe the owners, having had to sack two managers within about a year, would allow a situation to arise whereby it would cost them £3m to sack Pearson

it's not obvious at the moment; we won't know for a few weeks whether that is the case. offloading ssl, beckford and danns isn't a sign that we're cutting costs full-stop, we have been trying to get rid of them for almost a year, because pearson feels we can't use them and they don't offer value...

Re: Will Leicester Get Promotion i think in pearson we have a manager who won't accept complacency. i also think we're still gelling a little as a team, and don't quite have a perfect system, as we haven't found a way to fit marshall and knockaert in the team without compromising, but we...

danns seems to have quite a few off-field distractions tbf. he is trying to launch his own music label iirc, and also pulled some reality tv star in china whites or some other club frequented by footballers in london. doesn't necessarily mean he was/is distracted or uncommitted, but i don't like...

losing to this lot last season was really disappointing, hopefully we can avoid a repeat. our problem then was conceding too many on the road (losing 3-2 at watford and bristol city, drawing 3-3 at blackpool). this season, it's scoring away that's been the problem. hopefully wood can address...

trotter would seem like a good signing considering pearson has said several times after games that we give a lot away height-wise to other teams. maybe trotter would also give us a bit of pure phyisicality in cm, ala patrick vieira. think he's an alternative to king rather than james or...

that is really horrible logic.

GET IN!!! good couple of minutes for us, come on Barnsley!

even if the account of events there is fully accurate, wellens always looks like he cares on the pitch, is combative and always gets stuck in. he always wants to get on the ball, and doesn't hide when things aren't going well. that's more important than a comment he makes to a fan after one...

or to spin it another way, we can't be over-taken by huddersfield whatever happens today, are still currently second in the league, and beckford is helping huddersfield beat wolves, who are a much more serious threat to us than huddersfield town imo.

i reckon huddersfield are in a bit of a false position, saw them a couple of times last year and they weren't anything that special, although they seem to have recruited well. am going tomorrow for my first live game, excited to see us play as it sounds like we've performed well in most games...

boro aren't actually very good imo. nowhere near as tough as our last two away games on paper, as they don't carry the same attacking threat as wolves or blackburn so our defence won't be under as much pressure. if we play like we did in those two games, we'll definitely come away with a result...

as far as i'm concerned, the most important point is this: Pearson had two full seasons in his first spell. the first season, we were promoted as champions. the second, we made the play-offs. None of the managers since Adams had anything even remotely comparable to that kind of record. First...

on the one hand it is odd we haven't snapped him up, but also good to see that Pearson isn't collecting players for the sake of it, eg ball and johnson

wellens is very much one of Pearson's players; can't see him wanting rid. he is one of the few players left from the 2010 play-off team, and Pearson wants to rekindle the spirit that team had. I'd be astounded if Pearson was happy to let Wellens go.

seems like a stand-in for vassell. pacey, skilfull, can play wide right or up front, but doesn't score many.

i get what you're saying, but if you watch the fourth episode, you'll know what i'm on about.

we won't be paying SSL off (barring a relatively small loyalty bonus possibly i guess), and will recoup a fee for him. michael ball left by mutual consent, so we will have paid him less than the full value of his contract. wouldn't have thought it would cost us much to get shot of fernandes...

i think the third is when they have a falling out. but he features as a brat in all of them. also makes exactly the same mistake in a game as the one he made vs bristol city, at around 5m40s i think. also effectively gets the manager the sack by going behind his back to the chairman moaning...

gradel forced the club's hand by handing in a transfer request as i recall. he wanted to play every week, and we couldn't offer him that at the time. i think everyone recognised his potential, and it's annoying we let him go when he'd be perfect for us now, but not sure you can really blame 100%...

vs boro away this year, he was our best player. was part of a good unit last year with wellens and king. when he came though, he was touted as a set piece expert, but i don't remember him taking a single one for us :icon_conf can understand him leaving, as we have lots of cms and pearson obv...

just watched big ron manager now. can't believe what a petulant little brat st ledger is. hopefully he won't be taking the club's money too much longer. wish nigel had smashed him round the room!

i thought oakley was a very good player for us the first couple of seasons he was here; after that, his legs had clearly gone. seems like he's being a model pro throughout his time with us, as well as being a good influence around the squad. Don't understand why people were criticising him even...

apparently, the injury that Yakubu had last year, a torn achilles, is the worst you can get apart from a torn ACL. even after it has healed, it is never really the same again. the yak was one of the only players in the country capable of scoring 20 a season in the prem on a regular basis. the...

Hey all, I've used this site for a while and thought it was time to start contributing! Personally, I'd like Mark Robins from Barnsley. Reminds me a bit of Pearson in his demeanor, and is an up and coming manager who has Leicester connections and who would hopefully see us as a step up from...
