Will always remember him fondly for the FA Cup run and his run of form that season. Always seemed to be a player who needed a run of games. But time to part on good terms.
I’m watching the Oxford play off semi final and just realised the man of the match and only goal scorer was our ex youth team player Elliott Moore. My Oxford supporting mate is disappointingly unimpressed by my knowledge.
Albrighton creates more danger in two minutes than we’d seen all game. Ridiculous how little game time he has had, parficularly in the period we were struggling
Hmm, that is an interesting quote. Although some due diligence from him might have easily found several articles about why we had stopped spending money over the previous 18 months and it wasn’t rocket science to know relegation wouldn’t help.
Absolutely. And as a Welshman seeing him also become a 50 cap player and part of the first team to qualify in multiple generations was very special. The man who had open top bus tours in Leicester, Thailand and Cardiff in 2016!
Yep this season has confirmed for me with VAR as it is in the PL, we’re better off without it. And like you I always thought it could work.
Seems to work fine in the World Cup, we’ve just got it wrong in the PL.
From The Times report
“Not yet because the target was to finish in the right way. We have a game on Saturday and then we sit down,” the Leicester manager added. “My feeling is that he is going to stay. If it was my decision he’d stay.”
when I started this thread it was looking to be a closer race than turned out. But hey will keep it going until the end. 2 more for Vardy for 20 overall would be nice. A goal on Monday and a hat trick in the last game would be even nicer.

Spot on for me. The FA Cup win was special and the football in those first two years was at times excellent. I just wish he’d left in 2021, which clearly would have been the best outcome for everyone.
And don’t forget the points deductions.
And the non televised sunday matches because of teams playing the euro conference league.
It’s the promised land :)
It was almost the same 11 we put out in a league cup match earlier in the season IIRC. Twas astonishing
But the scrappy job we did of getting up is why I didn’t put it down as best “season”
I don’t know why I do these polls as I can’t decide myself. Every one of these is so special.
I think for best promotion moment it would be 94 and beating Derby at Wembley after the previous two finals to finally get into the PL
But my question was best “season” and that has to be Nige...
I’m told we now have the record for promotions from division two.
When I grew up we were always known as the ultimate yo-yo club.
Now to get the record 8th second tier title.
He’s got his flaws. But he’s done the job he was asked and paid to do.
He might get found out in five matches next season. But credit where it’s due for now. Surely.
Ran a worst relegation season poll last season so here goes. Six since I started supporting but I am throwing in 82/83 as well as I was aware of it and became a glory hunting LCFC fan when we got promoted that year…
So chuffed for him that he’s played a key part in getting us back up and hopefully another title.
Even if he leaves us, he won’t have left us in the second tier.
