Well a draw against Huddersfield was perhaps lucky, but the point will be good after some difficult early games.

Ah well..2 - 3 to Liverpool ...shame about Vardy's penalty being stopped.....Still let's hope for a good result against Bournemouth.

I don't think your league position reflects how well you've played really.

I know you had a tough start but it's not as if you aren't scoring. Look at you and Palace for example and 4 points apart seems ridiculous.

Can't see Shakey staying much longer if it carries on. Utterly clueless until the latter stages of the game or if we go behind.

frustrating

Bizarre. Players down tools for the start of the season, Shakespeare takes over and gets them playing like the old Leicester, and they decide to give him a 3 year deal.

You could tell he was never the right guy long term. These owners must love throwing their money away.

Hope Claudio is having a chuckle somewhere but he's probably too nice.

Claudio comments are getting old, I didn't think shakey was right for the job but Claudio made his own downfall if you look beyond the headlines. I'll always love him for that season though

Genuine question (because I didn't follow events too closely at the time), what actually happened? Why did the players down tools on Claudio?

There was lots of hard work undone by claudio, he doesn't believe in sports science, shrinks etc which pearson always did and hence why we were one of the fittest and mentally focused sides in the miracle year, the season after we looked absolutely knackered. Looking at his history he has a habit of coming in having a great season then going downhill quite quickly.

Whilst none of the players were playing that well the tactics which had always been a strong point for claudio were dire, he set up to defensively and the hit and run tactics of the season before only worked so well because we had kante stealing the ball and catching them on the break. Unfortunately this has Co to used this year and we just look like we have no plan or direction. There were quite a few articles and interviews with people around the club at the time but didn't get much publicity as the headlines weren't as exciting as snakes on a plane!

I also think there is some issues within the club with rudkin but who really knows what goes on behind closed doors


Not a clue who will take over, I certainly ky wouldn't rule out a return of Pearson one day! Already got his foot in the door!

Never seen a racist attitude from him, his son disgraced himself by being an idiot but there is obviously no rift between them as he's managing their 2nd club

Cheers. Personally I hope you don't go with Pearson, he seems unhinged.
