The Bonk Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 15 minutes ago, wormy said: Wow. Was only just catching up in the Rafa thread and come in here to find out its old news. What a fucking mess. What the downfall has Leicester has finally drilled in to me is that it's all well and good being one of the envied 'well run' teams but my God how easy is it to fall apart. Have to think the tragedy of Vichai played a huge part in this. Massive assumption, but he always felt more invested than his son in running the football club.

I think the son is personally invested but now that his father has gone, other family members within the King Power ownership structure want money to be spent on other investments (or to themselves maybe?) rather than in Leicester.

Ace Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 1 hour ago, KaKa said: I think it would work. Mostly because of how well Howe managed to make it work when Shelvey played there with Joelinton and Bruno at the 8 positions. Interesting thought process, didn’t think of it that way I know Tielemans isn’t as athletically limited as Shelvey but I found him very defensively suspect. The spurs game really showed his limitations there and I’d worry about Tielemans there personally. I know if we want to strengthen well, we will have to go after free agents most likely so I’m not totally against the move but would prefer him playing as an 8.

Ben Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I'm not sure where this idea has come from where the owners buy players and it doesn't really matter who the coach is cos it's easy to sack them and bring a new body in, is it a Baseball thing ?

Possibly, but there has to be some question of them tailing off post tragedy. Was a passion for the father, imagine not so much everyone else.

Mazzy Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 That's a truly bad appointment for Leicester. The only good decision they made was for it to be presumably only till the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokerprince2004 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 What a rapid fall from grace for Leicester. Before this season started we thought us and Leicester would be fighting it out for 7th with them probably favourites. They could easily finish bottom of the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 They had a knack of buying young and up coming players who really helped them push for European places. Tielemans, Ndidi, Pereira, Maddison, even Ayoze And then last summer they allowed their inspirational captain to go and didn't buy a keeper. And I think their only summer signing was Faes who has looked dreadful nearly every game I've seen him Really strange Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
