It's just a baseless comment and very ignorant of how well run we are as a club and how much we try to break in to that select group without spending £100m/£200m per summer. Not only does it look like a snipe at us, it's also a bit of a dig at Evans' integrity too. 'no disrespect to Leicester but...' is pretty much the equivalent of 'I'm not racist but...' or 'I'm not sexist but...' etc...

As good as he is and has been for us. I still wouldn't put it past Pep to have binned him off after 1 mistake and gone and bought 3 more CB's for £200m 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davieg was a little skeptical.... Posted 11 July 2010 I'm no Mandaric sycophant but this strikes me as out of the frying pan into the fire. Virtually all these takeovers just seem to land clubs with bigger and bigger debts with no guarantee of sustained progress as a club or business.

But as fans I guess we just have to cross our fingers and hope they don't inflict any mortal wounds I was and with good reason because there were no examples of current takeovers where the club ended up in a better place. We are a rare story even the likes of Chelsea & Man city have only excelled through chucking loads of money around where as we've balanced that with controlled investment coupled with organic growth. I couldn't be happier. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We massively lucked out with our owners, not because of their wealth or power or vision or footballing knowledge, but because of their humanity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit happens and we move on. The churn of world class players coming and going at man City is such that this season a prime Raheem Sterling and Bernando Silva could be surplus to requirements. As good as he is it's highly likely that he would have been dropped for a new 60 million flavor of the month. If I was Johnny Evans I'd regret nothing. Here he's won silverware and earned a final lucrative contract that sees him being a high earner till well past has 35th birthday (and he will get another year too if Rodgers is still here).

Koke Posted 13 August 2021 Share Posted 13 August 2021 The lads on the Kick Off all got us finishing 5th again, which is a fair prediction.

Harvey Barnes doesn't get injured, we get top 4, it really is that simple. Imagine mentioning Liverpool's injuries but conveniently ignoring ours to support your bullsh*t Brendan Rodgers theory.

I think ManU was relatively lucky with major injuries last year and had a lot of fixtures with little depth. I would expect them to pick up some knocks this year. Think we finish ahead of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the problem when you get 4 people around a table who support those 4 teams, honestly don’t care / oblivious to any other side other than their own! Leicester would have finished top 4 twice without being absolutely ravaged by injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopped listening to these after they all started getting on their respective high horses about how they’re better than Sky Sports… all the while ignoring Leicester and talking ‘big 6’ until they’re blue in the face. Laurence McKenna and Rory Jennings are insufferable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
