You make it sound as though you wrote it yourself when in fact you merely quoted what somebody else had already written. Most people would have made an attribution to make sure people knew whose the words were.
For the more inteligent foxes fans amongst us, here is the entire article from the Bluearmy website where I am supposed to have stolen this piece of information from. I am sure most of you have already read it anyway (apart from boc's obviously) and so I probably do not need to point out to you that my name is not Andy Mann and so I am not the reporter who wrote this article.
I hope this clears up any misunderstanding, although I find it hard to beleive that anyone would think I wrote this article (and in fact very funny) and so I felt I had no need to explain that I had not written it myself.
I am sure most foxes fans read the articles on this site everyday anyway, as I do.
I will smack my hand and give myself a good telling off for being sooooo bad and not explaining where I got this information from. I am so glad we have such happy, friendly people on this site to talk to.
Don't worry Boc's, I forgive you for being such a grumpy ass! (Must be on his monthly's or something??
)
Employment benefit
by Andy Mann
Levi Porter's proposed loan switch to Dundee in the new year is a move that could benefit all parties. The Leicester City teenager is spending this week training with the Scottish Division One club with a view to joining them in the January transfer window for the rest of the season.
It is not yet a done deal. The idea of the week's trial is for both Porter and Dundee to get a feel for each other.
But should it come to fruition, City and Porter have little to lose from the exercise, while Dundee could also benefit in the season's run-in.
England youth international Porter has been a reserve-team regular this season but unable to break through into the senior side.
A loan switch to the Dens Park club could provide the 18-year-old with the opportunity to give Craig Levein a gentle nudge.
At the same time, the City manager can keep an eye on how one of his younger players adapts to a new environment and, if given the chance, takes to first-team football.
Levein and his staff have already been doing that with forward Chris O'Grady, who has been on loan at Rushden.
According to Rushden observers, O'Grady has thrived in League Two. He has scored three goals and was named Rushden's player of the month.
Mark Lee, who covers Rushden for the Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph, said: "He is playing well and is improving with every game, though perhaps could have scored more goals.
"When he first came he looked a bit nervous but he has grown in confidence and stature.
"Not only that, but it has benefited Rushden because he is the best of the strikers we have in the squad.
"I wouldn't be surprised if Leicester take him back in January."
Whether or not that happens remains to be seen, but O'Grady's is the sort of response that Levein will be looking for from all of his players currently out on loan.
Leicester City will need their own wise men over the hectic Christmas period to get the training balance just right.
Assistant manager Rob Kelly says City are keenly aware of the need for work and rest over the festive period.
City face a gruelling fixture list, with four Coca-Cola Championship games in seven days over the holiday season, starting with strugglers Millwall at the Walkers Stadium on Boxing Day.
And there will also be a few hundred miles of travelling to contend with, as two of those games are at Reading and Crystal Palace.
It will be a period that is sure to test City's squad, and Kelly is aware of the need to ensure players can recover between matches.
But at the same time he emphasised the need to continue working on City's developing team on the training ground.
He said: "It would be a good thing for the players to get lots of rest in.
"But with it being a new and young team we have to put the work in on the training ground. We have to find a happy medium.
"We play a lot of games over a short period at Christmas then there's the FA Cup game in the new year. We are going to have to be wise."
There could be a lack of seasonal cheer in the households of some managers this Christmas.
While the managerial merry-go-round has been relatively quiet so far this season, some chairmen could be sharpening their knives for a little more than carving the turkey.
Speculation persists over the futures of Newcastle's Graeme Souness and David O'Leary at Aston Villa, while Gary Megson at City's fierce rivals Nottingham Forest is facing mounting pressure.
Forest's supporters reacted angrily to the FA Cup exit at League Two's Chester, particularly after failing to set League One alight since their relegation last season.
Now Megson has been put up for sale on internet site eBay by one furious fan angling for his departure.
But with the on-going problems at Forest providing comfort to City fans, they could be forgiven for leading the chorus: "Megson in, Megson in".
