We'd be 11th apparently, using the last 6 games.
But using the last game we would have been in the bottom three!!!!

The So Called Manager
Oi!
You can live in Coventry and be a civilised human being, you know. It's being born in Coventry that's the problem......
For uni. I'll be out as soon as I'm finished though. To either Hinckley or Earl Shilton. I know a beauty spot when I see one.

Ture. I was there the other night...And no, you don't want to move to Hinckleh...... or Shilton.....especially not Shilton, there's some right dodgy women here.
:icon_bigg My favourite place is Mansfield...Is this another "Location, Location, Location" thread? If so, what's Mansfield like?
Sousa brought in a number of players one of which Vitor was moderately successful; one of which the voweless Slovenian has never even made the bench.
:icon_conf How many women do you think I've got?And all you did was moan about dinner. Bloody charming. Slaved away I did.
I hope you don't backchat your lasses like you do your mates!:icon_razz

For those who missed the news Sousa and his instantly forgetable sidekick were replaced several months ago.
It is of course tempting to get irritated with Filthy and Rotherham. Instead I feel we should remind them of some Leicester history that they may not know.
As Jimmy Bloomfield struggled the replace the ageing Weller-Birchenall-Glover side the fans turned against him. The fans got one of the two best managers of my time dismissed and we got relegated under his hapless successor.
When Martin O'Neill the other of the great managers came we had some shocking results. Many fans thought O'Neill was ruining an excellent team.
Hazzman recently complained about those who use History to back up their views. However, these are two events I remember vividly because in both of them I and many others were in the wrong.
For those with the historical grasp of a goldfish - and I hope this does not include Filthy and Rotherham - let me recap some really recent Leicester history.
When players came back for their pre-season Nigel Pearson had been replaced by a Portuguese with all the fashion style of a Brian Sewell and about as much understanding of the game. Sousa brought in a number of players one of which Vitor was moderately successful; one of which the voweless Slovenian has never even made the bench.
The pre-season was well over, loads of deals had been done by other clubs and we were bottom when Sven came on the scene. Most people understand the word bottom but for those wanting Sven out can I explain that bottom means that we were below Preston and Scunthorpe. Does anybody really think that if we had appointed Southgate or Coleman that we would even have been discussing play-offs in the second half of the season?
In the summer Sven will have the chance to have his type of pre-season training and bonding. He will also be sorting out loans and transfers during the summer rather than searching round for "leftovers." As we found with the differing performances under Pearson and Sousa the preseason is when a manager stamps his personality for good or ill on the team.
Leicester became a joke for it's turnover of managers - four in the season we got relegated. We have now got a superb manager and we should let him get on with the job.
