RickG16 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 1 hour ago, champers said: A good return over Xmas and New Year, 9 points out of 12, but beating City and Chelsea then losing at home to Cardiff is just bizzare. I watched the cup tie at Newport yesterday and what a cracking game it was. Newport won 2-1 and that result alone may see Puel being shown the door. Very well timed post ???? I think in the grand scheme of things 7th is about par for Leicester isn't it? Top 6 would definately punching above their weight. But yeah I am sure that they would like a Cup run.

ChipButty Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Leicester step up hunt for Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers following the sacking of Claude Puel It is believed the 46-year-old would cost at least £5million in compensation. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6744343/Leicester-step-hunt-Celtic-manager-Brendan-Rodgers-following-sacking-Claude-Puel.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipButty Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Replacing The sacked Puel with Rodgers give no guarantee of success, being the manager of Glasgow Celtic is an honour that very few people historically would walk away from however the issue is a) attracting good quality players to Scotland and b) by consequence being effective in Europe which is now a money competition, moving to the premier league is a no brainer so best of luck Brendan......you are going to need it at Leicester who not long ago were favourites for relegation, moving south might get you more sun but will definitely get you less victories.

champers Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) Rodgers may be a candidate for the Chelsea job when that comes vacant. Leicester may feel they need to move quickly before anyone else tries to hire him. Other possibilities mentioned include Moyes (by him), Lennon, Mourinho, Appleton and Henry.

champers Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 By heck, Rodgers in already. If I didn't know any better I'd say details were sorted out weeks ago. I'm watching the game v Brighton and Glen Murray has Harry McGuire's number. He still can't defend for toffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChipButty Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Makes a mockery of the SPL. Leave the country's top club in the middle of a title race for a mid table battle at Leicester Former Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Celtic defender Kolo Toure also joins Leicester as a first-team coach, having worked as a member of Rodgers' backroom staff at Celtic.

Bredbury Blue Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 You can only assume that Leicester in the Premier with no european football hopes is more attractive than Celtic in the one-team Scottish Premier with European football.

owl sees all Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I reckon top 6 for the lads this coming season 19/20. Everton too will do well also (5/6/7th). Time for a club, or two, to break the monopoly. Villa could also be a surprise package. But my dosh is on Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

champers Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Leicester will be much improved after Harry Maguire jogs off. The most overrated player in the Prem.
