Ex-players always want to be associated with the currently successful clubs they once played for (Robbie Savage is now introduced as ex-Leicester). Shilts is a Leicester lad so you'd expect him to have the connection but, as you say, he wasn't very vocal before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I have no doubt they lean towards their most successful club, it makes sense really, and he won basically everything at Forest. I have no doubt he supports us etc but until recently I never heard it from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever is paying him.dollar for an after dinner or corporate meet and greet But, he's 100% a city fan in his own weird way. i suspect he prefers to hedge his bets and not alienate any potential black tie booking by aligning himself to close to anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuriousFox46 Posted 19 January 2022 Share Posted 19 January 2022 It’s flattering really. Clearly more pundits expect Leicester to perform at the level of Premier League champions than expected Derby to be a mid-table Championship side. We are MASSIVE.

whetstonefox Posted 19 January 2022 Share Posted 19 January 2022 (edited) Should take it as a compliment, every time something majorly unexpected or miraculous happens in sport you will forever hear the words ‘how does it compare to Leicester City winning the premier league’ Edited 19 January 2022 by whetstonefox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get the hype Someone mentioned this same topic the other day. I looked at last season and you could've given a 21 point deduction to the team in 10th and they still would have survived. So what they're essentially saying is that finishing in the top 10 of the championship is equivalent to our title win. It's not even close to our great escape season, let alone one of the greatest achievements in football ever. Granted there's a different psychology to starting with a 21 point deficit and they're restricted financially, but it doesn't make it into some miraculous achievement that's worthy of comparison like that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
