    Nah, there's a big difference here. The Leicester players, for the most part, aren't very good.

    Players like Hazard and Costa would have a hard job justifying how they played last season. The Leicester players this season are just playing to form.

    He's got Hudds playing top football...5 points off the top...won 6 in a row, beaten Newcastle and Brighton and still got a game to come against Newcastle. There is nothing to attract him to that job apart from a bigger wage. He's Kloppy's best mate.....I think Klopp will advise him wisely!

    Yes Dave is Kloppo's good friend, and a good coach. Far too good to work at the KP tbh.

    I'd like to see Megson or Hodgson get the post.

    Our players are better, and that was shown in the fact that we only went down to midtable and not the relegation zone, but saying Mahrez, Vardy, Drinkwater, Schmeichel, Huth et all aren't very good is not the truth imo.

    Huth has 3 PL winners medals ffs.
    Mahrez, last season, was as good as any other player in Europe.

    I am enjoying your one man meltdown mate, I must admit.

    Sorry about that; but it's almost as enjoyable as your club's miraculous success last season. Anyway, I'm sure you'll stay up this year <ok>

    Ffs sorry I forgot free speech isn't allowed on here.
    All I've been trying to do is provide the alternative view and also my opinion. However if I'm going to have all those brainwashed by the media storm jumping down my throat I'll just not ****ing bother.

    Huth is old, fat and slow nowadays.

    Mahrez is class, so is Schmeichel.

    The others? Meh. Vardy is a decent finisher, but probably not as good as Defoe. And I wouldn't, as a Saints fan, swap him for Shane Long.
    Drinkwater I don't really know tbh. He could probably do a job for most PL sides, but I don't see Real or Barca coming knocking any time soon.

  10. I think we have to count the old HIAG among that number, too, Sky.

    Say whatever you like about the old HIAG, but he called this entire debacle right, before anyone else, and he was unjustly condemned for it.

    That's partly why we are having the statue commissioned - buttocks slightly splayed so that Skyrimmer can worship appropriately ... if he ever visits <whistle>

    No way could the old HIAG have laughed at that comment, Fosse. I'm sure you'd agree with that.

    The Foxes players who met Leicester chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha on Wednesday included 30-year-old keeper Kasper Schmeichel, defender Wes Morgan, 33, midfielder Marc Albrighton, 27, and 30-year-old striker Jamie Vardy.

    As stated in The Times.

  15. So, it looks like the players were consulted before the sacking, and then CR was sacked.

    I wonder how many of the players said to the chairman, "You sack CR and I will put in an immediate transfer request."

    Chelsea hitting 10th place , is like most teams getting relegated . Chelsea had and have a great bench ...Leicester don't even have the Quality 11 they need little on a bench . Kante is the difference IMO . Fergies last season, with the title Imight add , Van Persie played almost every game and scored a boat load . Next season under Moyes , Van Persie got injured and Man U did little . A crucial player missing from a great team is critical.

    Anyway, I really hope Leicester avoid relegation. I hate always being right, and I fancy giving a tenner to charity.
