She's 79 now. You might have to shut your eyes. No teeth though so swings & roundabouts I suppose.

Let me just say something a bit out-there: I feel sorry for Danny Ward. He must know what many fans think of him. I can't see how he can be the first-choice next season from a morale point of view, let alone a sporting point of view.
There are some players who the fans want to play well even when they're not, such an Iheanacho. Whereas I think we have decided we cannot have faith in Ward, before the first ball is kicked.
When you're carrying out a task in public, be it playing sport of playing a musical instrument, your mindset has a big effect. If you think it will go wrong, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I think this is what's happened in the relationship between Danny Ward and Leicester City.

There's some truth in that - I for one wouldn't have the guts to stand up and sing/ play in front of an audience when my confidence had gone - or more pertinently - stand up and be a goalkeeper in front of Leicester’s pathetic-couldn’t-give-a shit-but-playing-out-from-the-back-like-the-manager-insisted defence last season - even if it meant a nice few grand in the bank.

True.
But there are also other factors that have an effect.
Such as being nowhere ****ing near good enough to be a PL goalkeeper & spending a decade stealing a living on various benches hoping you never get found out. Then having your worst nightmare come true & having to actually do the job you've been paid for.
Talentless, useless, worthless **** & the sooner he gets his ****ing overpaid arse out the door & off to his next bench the ****ing better for all concerned.

Yep. No sympathy from me.
He claimed to be a good enough goalkeeper, finally got his opportunity, and failed it.

Ward will go down, for me, as one of our worst ever players. Astonishingly, terrifyingly, bad.
The second I saw him play premier league football it was clear we were in big, big trouble.
That Rodgers stuck with him will go down as one of his greatest crimes.

Agreed. I remember wanting to give him a few games as he’d been bench warming for so long, but ****ing hell, he was awful.

Same, I wasn't too concerned about him. Then the whistle blew.

Bit like Amartey to be fair. Criminal from BR to persist with them both while Cags sat on his ****ing arse.
I can honestly say I haven’t disliked a manager as much as him in nearly 50 years of supporting Leicester.
How, with the players at his disposal he managed to put us in a position of no chance is a ****ing miracle of stupidness.
We’ve had shit managers, inept ones, the whole lot but I dislike BR more than any other I can remember.

Some interesting comments from Percy yesterday.
1. Norwich owed £4-5m from the Spurs transfer.
2. Deal done before end of June deliberately so we can bank proceeds in the 22/23 accounts.
3. Sell on for Maddison much smaller than what we had to pay St. Etienne as part of the Fofana deal.
