    SkyBet is saying Adkins at 20/1, its never going to happen just putting what i saw. But i love the fact Ancelotti is 10/1. That would be a massive coup for Leicester, but very much doubt that would happen. I think O'Neill is the most likely.

    Well they will get marmalised away to West Ham next weekend and could be put out of auto promotion before the season has started...

    The O'Neill saga is getting boring now. I reckon he will never be a manager again, unless he's interested in the N. Ireland job. There is absolutely no reason for Nigel to take the Leicester job: he's happy, gets on with Nicola, and must feel that his job here is progressing well but unfinished.

    This is what gets me about the media. Are they just picking numbers out of a hat or something..? What the hell would possess Adkins to want to go to Leicester City for..? I mean seriously, what would be his motivation..?

    I can just see him now, walking up to Cortese and asking, Don, can I speak to Leicester as I want to give up all that I've achieved and want to achieve further with Saints, so that I can go and waste my time at Leicester..? To which Nicola replies, Vaffenculo..! Qual è il problema..? Non ti pago abbastanza ..? Adkins: Would that be a No then..? ;)

    I just don't understand this. Why would they sack him after a quarter of the season??

    He was the wrong appointment in the first place imo, but once appointed you have to stick with the manager! Milwall aren't a bad championship side, and every team will drop points that they expect to pick up this season. That is the nature of the championship!

    How they can just sack him on a knee jerk reaction after so few games? They would have gone 4th if they had won ffs!

    Well, you said it yourself. Should have called you to advise them on the right manager to choose. That's not a mickey take either, because you could see SGE was wrong, yet they couldn't. Hence, your experience shows you are probably better qualified.

    haha, true enough, but they shouldn't have picked a sh*te manager in the first place then! I think a board has to back up the manager for at least half a season. Especially at Leicester where they have essentially built a new squad from scratch.

    Oh well, after all of the Leicester fans comments when we played them, they deserve everything they get...

    Either I've got the wrong end of the stick or you have. I was actually complimenting you.

    Ha, my bad, I read it as sarcasm!

    I thought at the time that Leicester needed someone with more English football knowledge, Sven had only previously managed in the Premier League and signed a lot of foreign imports. The championship is less about star names and foreign imports, and more about team spirit and togetherness.

    Billy Davies looks like a midget version of my old boss.
