    Leicester City fans must have been asking why have we signed a new manager who got sacked from his previous post as manager of the Greece national team after they lost to non other than the Fareo Isles. Crap appointment. Relegation certanties and the bookies agree because we are 5000/1 to win the league.

    I never understood the negativity towards it. International football's completely different & he's always been a capable club manager.

    I'm not trying to pretend I knew he'd do well though. I expected them to be between 11th & 15th

    Maybe they got lucky, like Greece at Euro 2004. Their fans are going to be even bigger c*cks now, not to mention all the plastics joining in.

    I don't think they will go down next season but they will definitely be in the bottom half
    Clubs will have sussed them out a bit more, and the playing every game as a cup final mentality cant keep going
    And they will have the distraction of a European cup campain. Will be amazed if they have a sniff of Europe again next season

    Maybe they didn't and will continue to build through the summer with a decent owner and champions league football to attract players. Good on em!

    First manager to be sacked next season, that's where my money will be going.

    Nothing surprises me with modern day football, so you never know.
