    The Daily Mirror reckon Leicester's Thai owners are running out of patience with Sven and are likely to give him 5 games to save his job after spending over £12 million for only two wins so far.
    I'm not usually that bothered about other clubs affairs, but I wonder how many of the Leicester wums are now secretly wishing they held on to NP.

    I hope they keep him, as Febbos said he's over-rated anyway!

    Their fans must have trolled well & really done a number on people, when Pearson left them and took over here, if there's a new thread on Leicester every other week.

    No NP went because he had one plan tactically - he got us up from L1, but was found out in the playoff semi's - just wondered why you're so obsessed with clubs that have won more than yourselves.... no wonder you hate Leeds

    So if we speak about other clubs on our bored we're ''obsessed'' with them... makes perfect sense.

    If that was the case we'd be obsessed with every bloody club.

    Sven will be at the foxes longer than NP will be at Dull City!
    How can you play one forward in the home leg of a playoff semi?
    Thanks to Nigel we did, IMO he cost us big time and had to go!

    Dull City.. how original.
    Have you ever come to grasps with the thought of.. maybe you wasn't good enough to go up? can't blame the manager... just the players theyre paid to play a game of football.. 1 striker, 2 strikers or 3 strikers.. they should be able to win the game no matter what.. no excuses.

    Don't shoot the messenger. The Daily Mirror said he's on borrowed time not me. Anyway the way things are shaping you might get McClaren when Forest dump him.

    Just remind me again, did NP choose to leave Leicester to come to US or was he sacked?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but didnt Fabio Capello get a shedload of abuse from the media, players and - yes indeed - fans for playing 4-4-2 at the last World Cup when nearly every other team played 4-5-1? The words outdated and predictable were used in nearly every single appraisal of our formation.

    In addition, almost every single Premier League team plays 4-5-1. The media try and tell you it's 4-3-3 but it isnt. It REALLY isnt.

    You went out on penalties so in the 180 minutes there was nothing to seperate the 2 sides and in the shootout this happened... www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Bb0ZRhNi6E (skip to 3.30)

    You can't blame Pearson for that terrible decision from one of his players! Thats what cost you BIG time!

    I'm not a big fan of Sven but think Leicester sacking him would be a bit counterproductive unless they could garauntee they could get someone in better than Sven. They haven't had the start they expected but they're hardly miles away from the top of the league so sacking the manager seems a bit knee jerk this early in the season, especially when 2/3 good results in a row in this league can put you in the upper part of the league.

    Ok Fish town i was being nice! my point is if you want to win, you dont play one striker in the home leg of a semi! but boring Nigel did. Oh yes, he was not sacked he was pushed! You can apologise when NP gets the order of the boot.

    This one's like a bag of Walkers Crisps - all air and very little substance.
