They were giving a new version away for £1 a year or two ago.
Where did it all go right ?

Agreed Sven went and spent money unwisely, and agree with those that say Mills was dogshite. To be fair to Sven he did probably know Mills from his Man City days. Although excessive, I am probably not alone in thinking Mills was a great buy at the time.

Mills was overhyped in the media when we signed him after a couple of impressive displays on tv. I was happy when we signed him initially until I looked at a Reading forum and they were all over the moon that a player a lot of them thought was poor and they'd wasted money on had gone for such a ridiculous amount of money.
I thought it was just bitterness at him leaving but ultimately it proved to be truthful. I don't think Mills has ever been a very good player at this level and was a step down from the likes of Jack Hobbs, Wayne Brown and Michael Morrison were a season or so beforehand, despite those 3 costing about £500k between them as opposed to £5mil.
It just shows how much the media can hype players based on one or two performances (*cough* Will Hughes *cough*) and also how much better our transfer policy has been under NP in comparison to any post-MON management team.
I actually think Mills may have been the worst signing we ever made, at least Akinbiyi was bad at Premier League level.

If you're thinking in terms of ability divided by transfer fee, then yes, Mills is certainly one of the worst if not the absolute worst signing we've ever made.

I wouldn't be foolish enough to argue that he was the main reason but I think it's reasonable to judge his appointment as a good one. The finances of the squad being taken away from NP is no bad thing. Likewise, the evolution of the development squad is a positive this season.

I believe so. Embarrassing, isn't it?

Yes, 5.5 million wasn't it?

for me the five key games this season have been
Middlesbrough 1 Leicester 2 - to come from behind on the first day must have been a confident boost
Watford 0 Leicester 3 - finally putting that one to bed especially with Knockaert scoring
QPR 0 Leicester 1 - the start of our great run
Leicester 4 Derby 1 - our best performance of the season without question against a team in the best form in the league at the time
Burnley 0 Leicester 2 - the game that all but sealed our promotion
Other games worth a mention are leeds away, Bournemouth away, Watford at home and Blackpool at home

1 factor. Nigel Pearson.
The attitude, work ethic and winning mentality that pervade the club are entirely down to his measured and composed personality. Kasper, Nuge, Vardey etc. are all replaceable but we must retain Nige at all costs.

Although how you sat through the first minute of the video to find it, I'll never know!

Has anyone mentioned the touchline ban that encouraged NP to sit in the stands. seems that his being next to steve walsh has led to good decisions being made regarding tactical changes during games.
