That Nigel Adkins is a right clever blighter.

    He is easing us into the PL by making sure we get used to losing at least half our games as we close in on promotion.

    Having got used to losing regularly our fans won't then get too upset when we routinely get stuffed by the refs and the opposition next season if we are in the PL.

    How is this tightrope going to be walked then StG..? We have to retain our PL membership remember. Or do we love this CL so much that we can't be parted from it for more than one season..? ;)

    After all those years in the PL, relegation to the Championship seemed the end of the world, though having a decent side we thought we had a good chance of bouncing back. A steady decline followed with financial consequences. Relegation after one season in PL would be hard to take, but with greater parachute payments would have fewer financial consequences. Cortese would be suicidal of course and Adkins would be slightly less cheerful, so, taking all things into account, I think we should stay in the PL.

    Come on Leicester.

    I didn't specify which year:laugh:, but hopefully a win against Coventry will sort it.
