Apparently the Kelly Jones partnership will assist with half time entertainment.

Kelly And Stowell Take Charge

Leicester City have today confirmed that Rob Kelly will take over as manager until the end of the season with Mike Stowell as his assistant.

The 41-year-old assumed the role of caretaker boss following the departure of Craig Levein last month.

And he has since guided the Foxes out of the Championship relegation zone with three successive victories over QPR, Wolves and most recently Brighton on Saturday.

The board felt it appropriate to appoint Kelly and Stowell on a permanent basis after the team's rich vein of form on the field of play.

Chairman Jim McCahill said: "I am delighted to confirm that Rob Kelly will be manager until the end of the season.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank Rob and Mike for their work to date and wish them well for the rest of the season."

Chief Executive Tim Davies added: "Great credit should go to Rob and Mike Stowell. They have done so well for us in a short space of time and nine points out of nine is a great achievement.

"Rob was always one of our options and this appointment is justification for all the hard work that he and Mike have put in.

"There has been a lot of speculation surrounding the position but I feel as though we have gone about our business in the right way.

"We have now got 13 games to secure our Championship status and we are certainly on the right track and I know the players are fully behind Rob and Mike.

"The supporters have been tremendous during this difficult time and it would be fantastic to see a big crowd for the East Midlands derby."

Meanwhile, Kelly himself admitted to being "flattered" after being handed the reins.

"I am flattered but I will quickly get over those selfish thoughts," said the former Foxes midfielder.

"I am delighted to have been given the opportunity, particularly at a club like this, but you quickly get past that.

"The decision now allows everyone to settle down and focus on what is really important - and that's the next 13 games.

"Our game against Derby tomorrow night is all that is occupying my mind now.

"The whole situation has galvanised everyone and the supporters have had a major role to play.

"The home game against Wolves was the noisiest I can remember the stadium for a long time and hopefully the fans can generate that same sort of atmosphere against Derby."

Nice that the players went to Uncle Tim to say they wanted Kelly in charge. Makes me think of marmalade, crumpets and tea in Abbey park.
