In the telegraph today,
Leicester deserve the drop
By Sue Mott (Filed: 25/05/2004)
Frank Sinclair, one of the Leicester City players exonerated of rape charges following the club's visit to La Manga, has pleaded for curfews to be imposed on footballers.
Les Ferdinand, a team-mate, explained on radio yesterday that players were "only human". The former England international said that some players, especially those in their thirties, did not want to be told what to do.
After a couple of drinks to unwind, he said they were apt to discover they had unwound a huge thirst that demanded immediate satisfaction and would decide to have a few more drinks.
In other words, they become, in the parlance, "slaughtered". According to Ferdinand, this is called "building team spirit".
It is also called a prelude to getting relegated. A fate entirely deserved by a club too weak-willed to impose any standards of behaviour on the brainless members of their staff, and also by the players too pathetically thick and unprofessional to be in any fit state to perform.
This story doesnt report anything of any substance, its purely to fill space in this crappy paper. However the things it says about the club are damaging to its reputation. Why do the press have such a problem with us?
