I honestly still think Peter Taylor will end up a top class manager, he came to us to early in his career and he will learn from the mistakes he made with us. Every other club he has been at he has been a huge success.
also believe that if Collymore had stayed, Akinbiyi would have been 10x then player he turned out to be

Could not agree more, Ade was brought to do Collymore's donkeywork as second choice striker, he would have been ok playing off him, when he left Ade was then made top man and given Benjamin to do his donkeywork, he was poor but he never stood a chance imo.

Not too bad is it, a side he took over a year and a half ago who were mid table in division 3.
Hes got a promised 5million if they come up next season, I would rather be in Hulls shoes than ours at the minute :-(

He can get Ade back then. :roll:
step said:PT learn from his mistakes, you are kidding.
AA missed dozens of open goals, yet for two season continued to play the donkey and he could or would not conceed that he was crap. All he had to do was admit AA was a mistake and buy a replacement. Instead, PT waisted 23 million because he always had another excuse for why city failed. Rather than admit he had made a mistake to buy AA.

I get this horrible deja vu feeling with De Vries and CL....
Foxybru I suspect you need some anti depressants!
PT had other options intead AA, for example the striker we just realesed for free that cost us £3million (i.e Trev), he had Collymore but couldn't handel him, he then brought/Loaned Paulo Manchini who scored a an almighty 0 goals! Not to mention the fact he had Scowy, who was totaly unfit for the duration of his time under PT. Add to that Dean Sturridge and we had some youth coming through I hardly think its the same thing now is it?
Disappointingly for Taylor, Ade Akinbiyi - told to "get angry" by the manager after being dropped - offered little evidence that he can adjust to Premiership standards. But at least Leicester's record £5m signing shaded the battle of ex-strikers, with Tony Thorpe's subtle skills fading in the face of imposing defenders
Leicester will be without Roberto Mancini for the remainder of this campaign, the Italian having returned home to talk to Fiorentina about becoming their next coach. Taylor spoke in the past tense about the 36-year-old striker's Leicester career.
"I don't regret having him here one bit and the players enjoyed him being here. I hope he's coming back - but I'm not 100 percent sure about that."
