Hello there fellow Foxes Fans,

Craig Adams here. I am a huge supporter of Leicester City FC - I have been for over 10 years now, I loved the days when Steve Guppy, Muzzy Izzet, Matt Elliott, Emile Heskey, Ian Marshall used to play for the Foxes.

But now we've got the likes of Ian Holloway as Manager, which I think he's done a very good job since taking over at Leicester City. Steve Howard - Good Striker, David Bell who's just joined on loan from Luton Town and wants a Perminate Move in the Summer is a good addition to the squad. Lee Hendrie is a fantasic player, Richard Stearman is alright as a Defender, we'll survive this season with five games left.

Let me know your views about Leicester City FC - The Foxes

Kind Regards

Craig Adams

First of all, welcome to the forum Craig.

Leicester are a team that are under-acheiving yet again this season. Appointing Ian Holloway as manager is probably the best thing you've done since leaving the Premier League back in 03-04. In Ian Holloway you've got a manager who can get Leicester City Football Club back to the Premiership. Yes, he might have had a bit of a poor start to his career at the club, but these things take time. He has brought in quality players since his arrival, such as, Sevey Howard, Lee Hendrie and David Bell. Holloway's main objective this season os to keep the club in the second division. Then maybe next year will be the season to push for promotion. Look at what he did with Plymouth, that is enough to show you he is the man capable of taking you back to the Big Time.

Yes, the club havn't got the quality they used to have in Muzzy Izzet, Steve Guppy, Emile Heskey and ... Frank Sinclair, only joking. The only was is up for Leicester City now.

Have you been to any live games, Craig?

Hi craig. im from leicestershire also, but i dont support the foxes. back when they had the like of izzet, guppy, keller, prior, heskey etc i payed a bit more attention to them. they were exciting to watch when they were around the top 6, i even remember them getting into europe once. with their ground begin just down the road, it was a great place to see some decent matches.

but sadly, since they've gone downhill, i dont really know too much about whats going on anymore. i'vr not heard of half the players Confused. they used to have some big names, buy now there's hardly any. i just hope they survive the drop.

Ohhhhh Goddddd 3-1 home defeat to Sheffield Wednesday. Can't afford to lose these crucial games. Its gonna go down to the last game, away at Stoke, TBH can't see us coming up with alot there with the missing players. Hoping West Brom tonight well atm its 0-0 so they will be level on points but Leicester with the significant better GD. Its going to be a tight weekend!

yea thats about the level of maturity i expect from you.

With stoke pushing for the automatic promotion space, i cant see the foxes taking anything more than a point this weekend against stoke. unfortunately my gut feeling says stoke will win quite comfortably, therefore leicester are relying on sheff utd to win, or at the least draw. it would be a shame to see leicester go down, it would be another team who were in the premier league at one point, dropping into the third tier of english football.

keep him???
hes the worst player ever to put on the black and white shirt. he has been crap for years but we have been stuck with him. i cant wait to see the end of him!
i would pay stoke to have him so the 4million is the best price we could ever get.

i think thats a bit harsh on him to be honest. remember he was hampered by his hip injury for quite a while during his time at Newcastle. its only recently that he's finally done something about it.

Dramatic scenes at Stoke. They didn't play to badly either today, just results went against them. No one to blame but themselves, though, they did have 5 managers this year!
