brummie Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 The owners deserve credit too. You end up with the shambles with us and Villa from the very top. Leicester owners have invested in the club without going the QPR route. They're no more wealthy than Ashley or Lerner but have a better attitude, focus and ability to run the club. The bit Leicester understand that you and us don't is that it's not just about throwing money at it, it's about getting maximum value from it.

mozy Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 And further to that, those who decide 'value' are experienced football people rather than glorified accountants or marketing students. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Are they "experienced football people"? The CEO Susan Whelan was not in football prior to joining the club. The Thai ownership are the Chairmen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 That's my point, I doubt those people make the major decisions with who to sign or how much to pay. No doubt they sign it off but they listen to those who know and trust their judgement, be that Pearson, Ranieri or the scout who found Mahrez. Whereas everyone making those decisions at NUFC (and probably Villa too) has been fixated on signing every player based on one thing, sell on value.

The College Dropout Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 An MD/Chief Exec is going to decide who they sign and how much. Same for any company. They've been given the remit to make decisions that befit the club in terms of league position as a priority. Not sell-on fee or balance sheet. But in a sustainable manner. Even the likes of Sullivan and Parish - go shites who interfere with transfers above the manager still have the clubs best interests at heart. There's nobody at our club with real power who cares and is trying. IF we do stay up. It looks like Rafa might wield more power than any manager in the league save for Wenger. That is so exciting it's not worth thinking about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Ashley seems to of the belief that giving money to dickheads and stepping back like pontius Pilate is acceptable and absolves him. It's just as negligent as him being overbearing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 It's not rumored anywhere but would you give this guy an England call up? I would tbh. He seems to be a character and leader in the dressing room. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Why not though... He's probably the most in form English full back and that's the same argument people use for wanting the likes of Vardy and not Rooney... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 His team is in form and he's doing fine in his very limited role. He is still not particularly good, and there are still many other options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression that not only on here but in general people expect they're defenders to be decent at attacking primarily these days, which is a load of shite imo, obviously depending on tactics, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Fair play to Simpson he's played in the majority of games and deserves his medal as much as anyone, Didn't Woy say he was only taking 7 defenders ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiedean Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 watching the game against Swansea and it had me amazed that they won 4-0 and had 38% possession how the fuck does that work out? in the champions league next season they are going to be destroyed by allowing teams to have the ball. its no co incidence the team that likes to keep the ball and pass around you has beaten them twice this year as amazing an achievement as it is next season will be a huge eye opener for them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
