Wow. Was only just catching up in the Rafa thread and come in here to find out its old news. :lol: 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.

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.

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.

I reckon they'll sort them out, keep them up by the skin of their teeth. Have a clutch of winnable games (Wolves(H), Leeds (A), Everton(H)) coming up.

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
