    It won't be easy, but Leicester are a very average side with big potential in young players. I think he could make them a top 10 team, and maybe build them a bit higher over time.

    Fulham have sacked manager Claudio Ranieri after just 106 days in charge, with Scott Parker taking caretaker charge of the London club, who are 19th in the Premier League.

    Can't believe this

    Bloody hell!

    They are going down, I can't see Ranieri wanting to manage them in the Championship, but I'm sure he would have been happy to see them through to the end of the season.

    Why not line up a manager for the new season, and let Ranieri just plough them through the remainder of the season?

    A trip to Watford on Sunday beckons for Brendan Rodgers' first match in charge of Leicester City. And his appointment can raise the prospects of James Maddison (£6.6m) in Fantasy Premier League.
    The midfielder has been a standout attacking threat in recent weeks.
    James Maddison (LEI) £6.6m
    The Leicester playmaker has created 21 chances over the last four Gameweeks, at least six more than any other player in the Premier League.

    He has also boasted a considerable goal threat in that period. Indeed, Maddison's total of 14 shots on goal ranked second among FPL midfielders.
    Maddison scored against Watford earlier this season and looks poised to kick on under Rodgers.

    Can Steve Bruce do us a solid, and mastermind a shock Derby win Against Sheff U?

    We really do need a Sheffield United loss to ease a bit of pressure.

    Can't fault any of them Dave this has been one of the best seasons in my lifetime and with such a small budget.

    I Think if the fans came together and said we won’t vote for a player, we want the squad to win it.

    With the massive together atmosphere, and club massively supporting the fan groups etc.

    Could be an interesting bit of marketing.

    The club is so at one, the squad won player of the season!

    Get a petition started! :emoticon-0148-yes:

    I think like the Leeds game, I can see a comfortable beating.

    I am really praying for the magic of football tonight though.

    Give us a Brucie Bonus!
