So no one can see the similarity between our 13/14 season & Leicesters run this season??

Couple of the "big teams" being well below parr, a strike force going through a purple patch & everyone suddenly thinking they have it cracked?

I'd love Leicester to win it, but I think ultimately the squads & experience of City & Arsenal will shine through....

Yes, absolutely. Very likely to be a one season wonder too!

I though this as well, no Europe, striker in form of his life but Leicester differ from Liverpool in that they have 3 players in form, have a decent defence (we had to out score the opposition) but the biggest one is no one is expecting them to do it as they have no history of winning the league. I really hope they do it then I hope we employ their transfer committee who can spot a player with real potential and not the argent agent tag.

I agree on the similarities. I think when it gets down to the last 5-6 games of the season and they're still in with a shout, I think that's when the pressure will really be on and we'll see what they're made of.

Klopp pre match presser v West Ham

Amazed he's up and working as normal so quickly. Shows what a strong fella he is (mentally and physically).

Surely Ayre, as CEO, runs the business and it would be his job to ultimately come up with a ticketing structure and propose it to FSG to agree on?

The SOS statement alluded to the fact they'd met with LFC execs who took everything back to FSG. Of course Ayre runs the business but ultimately he can't do anything FSG wouldn't sanction.

Either that, or he just can't stand Sunderland.

They set him a target of x mil extra in revenue from the stadium according to sos

Not to piss on your chips RT, but Ranieri had almost feck all to do with the transfers of most of the current Leicester team.

At least he played players that were bought in. There were numerous player Mr Rodgers didn't really give a fair chance to that had clearly been bought by the committee rather than by him.

Regardless, Ranieri is proven at a much higher level than Mr Rodgers was.

Why are we even still discussing him? Move on

As for the new stand, this is shocking

Proven as what?

He could hardly be classed as a winner - although he does seem like a really nice guy.

Whats shocking about it ? The stand needs to do just that, stand. Restricted view seats are almost inevitable. One can only assume they are priced accordingly. Ahem.

Currrently they knock £2 off -

I know there is some in cheaper range but not all, so you might still be paying £60 a ticket there

I have pad £56 in the Main stand for a view where I cant see the middle of the goal....

It's always going to happen when you bolt something on to an existing stadium rather than start again. More should be done to reduce prices for the restricted view seats though!

Are these the £9 seats?

Trophies perhaps. Managing a succession of bigger clubs maybe. And yes I agree he does come across as a really nice guy.

Looks like 2 proper trophies in 30 years. Winner.

Ranieri's win percentage: 46.21. BR's: 45.11. The both have the same Premier League Manager of the Month awards and the same number of top flight titles. #Proven.

Plus with bigger clubs, so not like he has the excuse that it's just Swansea for a lack of trophies in that time,

Think I saw somewhere some of them are the £9 ones.

Why are we debating the merits of our ex manager?
