So which of Liverpool, Man City, Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal or Man Utd should we displacing right now?

Considering we lost our greatest ever player in the summer and then our chairman a few months ago, 7th right now seems perfectly, if not more than, respectable.

I believe if we finished 7th it will be our best finish bar the title of course which would be the perfect foundation to attempt to break the top 6 next season.

Unless we are meant to do a Leeds and spend money we don't have and no guarantee of success?

Building a state of the art training ground, expanding the ground and building a young squad seems to be the best way to prepare for making the next step and ensuring we have the best possible platform for long and sustainable success.

If we just beat the ****ing teams we were supposed to we would be knocking on the door.

Finish 7th would be very good indeed. Our title win was a freak. Without genuinely loaded all money is pocket money owners, or shifting the club to London, we aren’t breaching the top six. So Puel is right on that.

The problem I have isn’t our league position. It’s the crap football. I’m bored at matches. I’d like both a good league position and entertaining football. But I’d sacrifice a few league positions for a bit of fun.

You can’t have a freak over the course of an entire season. We won because we were the best that season and we ****ing deserved it. If arsenal or spuds had snatched it they wouldn’t be calling it a freak. They would be saying that in 2015/16 they were the best.

Well they don’t get to say that. They weren’t. We were.

The only freak thing to do is cling to mediocrity and say impossible impossible impossible. Can’t can’t can’t.

**** the **** out of that. We’re Leicester City. There is no script. Tore the ****er up.

It pisses me off how Everton fans believe they should be challenging for top 6 with sweet **** all in their recent history and yet we sit here with the mindset of Crystal Palace of just surviving.

Exactly this. God Everton **** me off. Grand old bollocks.
 
There are a ton of teams we should be beating at home... but exhibit A...

Southampton. At home. 10 men.

Cross after cross to no one.

Should have won.

I will be arrogant. High time someone had some bollocks.

You are misunderstanding what I’m saying. Our good results that season, in that context of that season alone, weren’t a freak. The victories were too numerous for that to be the case. But in the context of the entirety of football history the outcome that season was a freak. Leicester City won the league. It has happened once. It was a freak. Spurs winning it would also be freakish; but a little less so.

Saying that season was a freak (it was) doesn’t mean we didn’t deserve to win it (we did). I’ve always thought those who considered that season to be a platform on which to build to be misguided. Every team begins the season level on points with all the others. But that’s the only equality. Some sides have years of built in advantage, whether of geography, money, history and reputation or a combination of those things.

Is it impossible for us to finish in the top six? No. But our chance of doing so is smaller than those currently occupying those positions, in any given season. Is it impossible, given the advantages of the clubs currently in those positions, for us to become a permanent contender for those positions? It’s pretty close to it.

That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be ambitious. That we shouldn’t try to finish there. But wishing something to be doesn’t make it so.

To borrow some Noel Gallagher...

You’ve Got to make it happen.

Which is why Puel has to go. There is no inclination to make it happen. In my life I have never settled. At Leicester City’s best they have never settled.

I’d rather crash and burn setting a standard at its highest then fizzle out saying oh no I can’t.

But I thought he showed too much arrogance last week at Newport?

Did you? Many others don't think it was anything to do with arrogance. Many others think it was ineptitude.

No it didn't. He wasn't arrogant in thinking he'd win it at a canter, he was simply unable to motivate anyone to do anything as we have seen throughout the season.

Saying we can't compete for a top 6 place - that's the lack of arrogance that's bleeding into the players.

It’s infuriating. I can’t think of a worse message.

It’s a bloody good job we didn’t pick Puke after Pearson. That wonderful season would never have happened.
