Default Leicester City FC

Whats everyone else think about whats happened.

Players clearly decided not to play for the previous manager, despite what they say.
You don't go from being dummies and getting beat all the time, back to winning form overnight.

Unfortunately, there are FAR too many immature, prima-donna dishonest players about now. Gone is the previous loyalty to a club, now all that matters is ££££ and an easy life.

My own club has gone from scoring for fun, (we were the highest scorers in EUROPE at one time, to having two shots on goal in a game. Gone from going thirteen MONTHS undefeated at home, to losing three on the bounce at home to teams that are struggling. Gone from playing flowing football on the ground that opened teams up for us to score, to playing in our own half...even free kicks go backwards! All overnight. All since our thick mouthy chairman said he wasn't going to discuss their contracts as not many would be here if we got promoted...on air!

They don't desreve our support.

As for Leicester City, always bear in mind that THEY are the reason for the rule about a ten point deduction if you go into administration, and that THEY caused a large building company to go bust due to their antics. Loathsome club.

New manager syndrome, it won't last. They should of cashed in on Vardy and Mahrez before the start of the season because IMO both players are fast becoming one season wonders, Vardys finishing at present is woeful.

Everyone goes on about their decline is down to losing Kantu which is nonsense, their decline was down to then thinking they were better than they actually are. Fair play to them that they won the league but last year was a strange season all in all and if the top teams were not so poor they wouldn't of got a look in at winning the EPL.

Spot on about the Players Alcazar, gotta feel for Ranieri

I did amuse me though that Craig Shakespeare has out done Pep and Arsense and he is probably on no more than 70K a year.

Peter Birse Engineering.

Built stadia for a few clubs, never got paid properly for Leicester's, almost went to the wall, taken over by another company, loads of job losses in an area that REALLY didn't need any more, now gone completely.
