Leicester City transfer rumours !
Things are not going as planned at the Walkers Stadium. The club hasn't managed to win a single game since early February and they are just above the relegation zone.
Rob Kelly's days as manager looks numbered but he will probably be staying until the end of the season. Bryan Robson, Glenn Hoddle and Greame Souness has all been mentioned as possible candidates to take over.
Injuries, stupid suspensions and lack of consistancy in team selections are all reasons for the collapse. Daily Mirror reports today that as many as 11 players could be given the boot in the summer and that a number of new players are on the way in.
The latest rumours are that S****horpe's Billy Sharp and Birmingham's Mikael Forssell are targets so could Gilingham's Matt Jarvis be.
Paddy McCarthy has been linked with a move to Fulham and players such as Robbie Earnshaw and Jason Koumas could both be on the list of new players coming in.
The away kit for next season is black (dunno if it's been mentioned)
Well, my brother is in the academy and he said that he saw it because his mate had to try it on and when he asked why he had to try it on the coach person said it's the away kit for next season... Not very well described but that's what he said so I'm just posting it to tell you what he said. [And I did think he meant just the academy away top but no, he said for the first team too]
Further to my posts a month or so ago, re Mandaric setting up a meeting with Newell (and cancelling it when having to fly off to Belgrade to see his mother), I have now learnt from other journalists that he HAS now met with Newell - and Glenn Hoddle - to discuss the vacant City managers job IN THE SUMMER (the decision has been made and Kelly has been told). Mandaric is also going to speak to one or two others - his requirements are an experienced manager (not just a Coach - ruling out the likes of Tony Adams, Jamie Redknapp etc), from English football (I suppose Tigana and a couple of others might qualify) and one not in a current job (no compo !). Draw your own conclusions and speculations.
Eileen Drury?

INCE FOX LINX
PAUL INCE has emerged as the No1 target to replace under-fire Leicester boss Rob Kelly.
Foxes chairman Milan Mandaric is ready to axe Kelly after a run of seven games without a win.
Former England midfield ace Ince has impressed in his first management job at League Two Macclesfield.
The Silkmen were seven points adrift at the bottom when Ince took over. But he has since led them out of the drop zone.
Mandaric said: "It was my duty to give Rob a chance. But at the same time I have a duty to do what's best for this club and the supporters.
"I want people here with the best experience, who are winners."
Can't offer an opinon on this. I don't really like Paul Ince, but he'd a job on this current bunch of players. However, if were are having a overhaul we might need a different type of Manager
Ian Dury & the Blockheads, classic new wave band.
Mandaric says he wants a 'winner' and then goes to Paul Ince - a league two manager who's biggest achievement is pulling a team out of the drop-zone. I like Ince personally, but I think if Mandaric wants to back up his impressive '3-years' claim then he needs to go for an experienced manager with a solid, consistent track record on this stage. He shouldn't be taking a gamble - Ince could be incredible, but equally he could be absolutely shit at this level. You never know.
There aren't that many managers that can truly be called "winners" so I suspect he's talking about Wenger, Mourinhio or Benitez. Excellent, I hope we get one of themLike who? Please don't say Kevin Keegan.....
LEICESTER CITY RUMOURS
Leicester and mandaric are looking at abroad and English based playersm, as they believe that looking abroad will give them more options, in the Summer they will look to bring in to boost their push to the Premiership.
