We do what we want, we do what we waaaant. We’re Leicester City - we do what we want.

No sirens or suggestions Piroe is jumping aboard HMS Piss the League?

Almost like there’s not hundreds of other clubs in the world also trying to do business 🤔

Fingers crossed for a few goals and assists tonight. Even though it’s against a pub team, bit of press in an England shirt helps add a few quid on.

Love it if Maddison joined Spurs - would give him a nice nod and a wink in a few years when we win our next trophy and he’s won naff all.

Would take - offers experience and leadership, and is probably too good for Championship level. Has he had injury problems, or just out of favour at the human rights abusers?

Move to general football…?

Great output in the Prem and not many wingers matching his numbers, so should fetch a hefty fee. He does go missing at times and is incapable/unwilling to take his man on down the line, but is brilliant at finding space after a give and go. If Whelan can negotiate £60-70m for him to fund a rebuild then would wave him off and wouldn’t be too upset.

… But it’s time to go. Some perspective is required and we should have the decency to pay him some respect as one of our most successful managers ever. He managed us to our first ever FA Cup. He took a mid-table team to the cusp of the Champions League, and took us to the semi finals of a European competition where the club had never been before. He had us playing some of the best football I’ve seen where we managed games like I’ve not seen before, pressed and attacked in numbers, and won big games I dreamt of as a kid - beating Arsenal multiple times (we always always lost, especially away), Man Utd in the cup run, and Chelsea in the cup final. And let’s not forget a record 9-0 victory at Southampton. He has a squad of very good players who have played some decent football this season. For 60 minutes against Brentford it was a walk in the park. Against Southampton it was similar where we dominated the game for large parts. Against Tottenham we the better team for 45 minutes. But his decision making and responding to opponents tactical tweaks has been woeful, with him showing an inability to adapt to the situation unfolding on the pitch. I can appreciate that he didn’t get what he wanted in the summer window, but the club has to operate within it’s means for the long term. We still have quality players in the squad, who collectively should be nowhere near bottom of this league. However, it’s clear that a rot has set in, with a disorganised defensive structure, and a weak mentality where we are imploding every game. We all know that if we get a lead that we won’t be able to see the job through right now. And whilst Brendan is trying tweaks here and there, it is clear that he doesn’t know his best team, that he doesn’t have a plan B, and that the players heads drop too easily because confidence has gone. Brendan should be celebrated for what he has achieved with the club, but that his time is up and that we need fresh ideas. I hope that as a club we can respect what the man has given us over the past few years, whilst also recognising that his time is up, and at the same time that the media spin about him not being backed can be put to bed - he has clearly lost the dressing room and his decision making leave a lot to be desired. At this level that means the end. I wish him well, but there is a fantastic squad waiting for someone with new ideas and enthusiasm to steer us to safety with fast, direct football, and build a squad next summer to challenge for Europe again next season. There is no better time for a new man to start than now with an international break to reorganise and regroup, and with a fixture against local rivals where we chop some trees and climb the table. Thank you Brendan, but it’s time for a new manager to lead us forward.

Spurs might have done us a favour today by shelling £25m on Bissouma who only had a year left on his contract. Gives our negotiation team a floor price, plus expectation for more considering he’s won trophies and will be on higher contract terms. Don’t get me wrong as I rate Bissouma as a very decent player, but as a comparison, you’d like to think Youri is worth more in the market.

An injury-prone 28-year old Danny Ings went for £30m last summer. A 25-year old Tielemans won’t go for less.

Championes, championes, ole ole ole!

The glory days of five right backs and five strikers on the pitch. Matty Fryatt as the holding midfielder trying to feed Carl Cort and DJ Campbell...
