    I think you'll find that's the case with all clubs, we're a fickle bunch.

    You're probably right, but there's some fans like that at every Club <ok>

    Most fans of a Club like us are probably not happy with midtable in the 2nd tier though

    Andy Kings Crown Jewels - do not call me a disgrace, you idiot. I am a Leicester fan just like you, I think, and if you have an opion fine, let's debate but don't get personal. Your posts are without reason, to me and the Hull fan who makes valid points, look at the table, they could sneak in to the play offs.

    Our form is shocking and your comments about our midfield being the best in the league is laughable. If we were we would be in the mix. Good player who don't play well together, King goes missing far to often, Oakley has hit form but hasn't played well all season, Wellens doesn't play enough forward passes. We don't have a midfield general who can run and scare defences, good teams do.


    As for the defence, Mee is left footed and compliments Bamba, Bruma isn't and doesn't play well with Bamba as he has to swap sides.

    Do you not see this, or are you stuck in you arm chair.

    You're insulting average there. This league is terrible this season. With the form Forest and Leeds are in we look a good shout for sneaking into the playoffs despite the fact we effectively played with no strikers until the week before Xmas. We're on a club record unbeaten run (away from home) stretching back to September or October, and if we get through to the end of the season without losing away we'll match the record for this division. We've still to play QPR away but unless I've missed something so far from 13 games against the top 7 we've only lost 2, both against Cardiff. In any of the 3 previous seasons we spent in the Championship we'd be looking at avoiding relegation the way we played before Xmas not having all these record breaking runs and solid results against the good sides.

    "EVERYBODY IS FRIGHTENED OF LEICESTER" ............ open your mouths .........Now put two feet in !! SGE is the Messiah....open your mouths ....put another two feet in !!

    Ps Not you Emilio at least you have some humility and don't suffer from verbal diarrhoea like some of the more prolific posters amongst your supporters . Nigel may not have the experience or toughness to make the top grade in management but at least he is not a has been like Sven(when did he last do a decent job? and don't tell me for England because with the team we had then we should have performed a lot better).

    Emilio, you talk a lot of sense and probably have a bit more patience than me!

    Next year this league will be tougher looking at who could come down compared to who did last year and I can't help feeling we have missed a chance.

    I will be happy if Sven signs players who give 110% and not kids from other clubs, permanent signings who don't earn £40k per week which is just absurd and probably doesn't help team spirit. We could sign 4 good proven championship players for this money which is what we need. Let's go and get the best from the rest of the other good championship teams and spend the money we have wisely rather than overpaid has been's.

    Let's just hope the owners desire for success and big names doesn't cost us both in financial and success terms, but I fear many more frustrating debates like this next season!!

    Cant the digs between our own fans stop. Just because someone has an opinion you dont agree with. Either agree to disagree, argue your point. But dont insult them or tell them to go away

    Their is lots of different types of fans. So are grateful for what we have. So always want more and some will never be happy.

    Right now i am happy but still want a little bit more from some players. So players will always get stick more then others for their style of play. Matt Oakley has silenced alot of his critics recently while King's critics are moaning more recently

    As a QPR fan, with umpteen unsuccessful managers (including Ollie, partly successful, and Souza) over recent years, I would have been totally gutted if Sven had been added to our list - and I don't think we'd be where we are at the moment if he had been. The big difference for us was in the appointment of a no-nonsense proper manager. Not everyone's cup of tea, Neil Warnock, but a man you can rely on to fight his corner.

    We've all had Sven as manager of our England team. Couldn't wait to see the back of him. Sure, not bad at first but then gets too comfortable with his prima donnas and results suffer. There's no passion or purpose about the man, it's just a money thing with him.

    It was all going so well for Leicester when you came to ours a couple of months back. Fantastic performance and very unlucky to have lost at the death; and then the slump. Where did that come from? Sven's record provides a hint.

    The question is, if Leicester had a bit of money to spend, why pick Sven when there are proven big hitters out there in the dole queue? Allardyce and Hughton for instance and not forgetting Martin O'Neil who did very well for you at one time. Leicester are a big enough club with a good history. Surely you deserve better than impotent Sven?

    Ask us this at the end of next season, if it still applies.

    Good luck in the Prem <ok>

    Lots of opinions knocking around, I've been so frustrated lately, as we've had so many missed opportunities, as have other clubs. With a bit more luck and a settled team (every department) I think we'd be up there but it's still so much better than where we were under Sousa...at the start of the Pompey away game I bet £60 on us finishing above other average championships with my mates...I felt like paying up at half time, but glad I didn't as I've now won them all! Svens done an alright job, made mistakes but also made some great decisions; he'll hopefully have a better understanding of this league after this experience. Next season is massive, we're by no means certain to go up, it'll be a tough division but as long as we're up there challenging I'll be happy...but will the owners stick around if we don't make it next season?

    We will never know if Sousa would of done a good job here as he wasnt in control of all the transfer. Martyn Waghorn was signed by Milan and the owners signed Yuki Abe. I think the only players Sousa signed was Lamey, Moreno and Vitor. If he was given time he would of done a good job, the problem for him was we wasnt prepared to wait that long for Sousa to turn it around. Sven on the other hand has been backed fully by the owners and i dont think we can judge Sven until next season when we are on level points with everyone and we would have better pulling power rather then us playing catch up

    Roll on next season and lets just enjoy the rest of this season

    2 points behind with a fairly easy run in and in better form than Leeds/Forest/Burnley. Yes I do. I'm not saying we will do it. But only a ****** would not consider us contenders.

    Hull are serious contenders.

    We have absolutely no chance but even we are contenders. Everyone is a contender until it is mathematically impossible

    Blackpool, West Ham and Wolves? (atm) i honestly dont see any of these 3 bouncing back/dominating the championship.

    Unfortunatly this season, his reputation has bought in some players who dont really care about the club, and its unfortunate, but without a transfer window, this is all he had to work with.

    Its worth all the hardship of failed loan players if we get to sign Kyle Naughton permanently, we havnt really had a class right back in a while imo.

    Once we get some permanent players in the summer, and not a team full of loanees, i think that we will be looking at a good top 6 finish.

    Only Club I might be worried about is West Ham. But we should be able to finsih above any side that comes down. We will have no excuses.
