posted this before but seems like it was a dead thread so apologies if you saw it already - just found it interesting...
I managed to get an invite in a box for yesterday, and a stadium tour with a whole load of barnsley fans. fair play to the club they asked who wa a leicester fan an managed to get us into the city dressing room before they arrived. had a good chat with the kit man and he told us a few interesting things, one or two i'm going to keep to myself because he was a bit unsure about telling us and i think i owe him that much (all about past players etc nothing current so don't worry!)
He said there was a lot of uncertainty which he saw as one of the main reasons for the crap form, and a lot of the backroom staff are just trying to keep their heads down in case MM makes a big clear out in the summer.
Said that he really liked NW, they're a good group of lads and he's really made a difference since he's been there plus he's got a bit more of an old school approach which seems to be working. seems to plan things more too - the players went up the night before whereas in the past they'd have gone on the day of the game, not sure if thats NW's idea or just that we can do it now with MM in charge.
Also Mattocks out of next weeks game, got to go to a tounament with England. Says that when NW came in he spoke to almost everybody including the academy bosses hence Mattock being picked. Apparently he's very highly rated by the club along with 3 or 4 others. Bad news is there's already been clubs looking at him but the good news is his dads a huge city fan and hopefully will make sure he stays!
