Your best ever post BG
Thanks BG, I was starting to think I was the only one proud of our achievement this season. Good post on expanding what I was alluding to. I've sat on my hands a bit by not posting about this before but that was the final straw coming the day after we went up as Champions. Welld done City.
He's good at expanding,his waistline has been for the past 5 years
We were nearly relegated under Craig Levein and then under Rob Kelley (saved by Nigel Worthington).
We weren't saved by Worthington. We finished 11 points clear of relegation, he only won six points when he was in charge.

There has seemed to be something wrong with the club for a number of years. We were nearly relegated under Craig Levein and then under Rob Kelley (saved by Nigel Worthington). My understanding is that attitudes got worse under Martin Allen. The under-rated Ian Holloway tried manfully to turn the mess around but was never able to. This brings me to my point. Nigel Pearson has taken a mess and created a Leicester City team for the first time since the days of Deane and Dickov.
I was disappointed at the time that Ian Holloway was not given a pre-season and thought his sacking was a knee-jerk reaction to a relegation for which Martin Allen was to blame.
No he didn't, MM said it cost him £10 million for relegation last year, figure now keeps getting quoted in the wrong context
