Tin Soldier Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 40 minutes ago, Lrrr said: I think the obvious question is the potential clash (if he stays on) over how much control for transfers he has, will he be allowed to bring in Walsh, will Ashton be told to stand down etc I see this as Lansdowns appointment and against what Ashton would prefer. One way or another if NP joins, we may have a power battle in the summer. Hopefully Ashton then ***** off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Again, I’m just catching up with this thread. I missed out chunks of it so went and had a re-read. I didn’t get all the ostretch comments. Thank goodness for YouTube, also found some other interviews. My verdict...I love him, blunt and to the point so much that is almost cruel. But if you don’t want a bollocking from him don’t give him cause to. That’s how I do my job, why should footballers and journalists be any different.

The company I work for have an office in Leicester, and they can’t believe he is joining us. He is held in high regard by most Leicester fans it seems.

Johnny Musicworks Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 All supposition but it’s entirely possible that as maybe our preferred candidates such as Eddie Howe (taking a break), Nigel Pearson (Long Covid) and Steven Gerrard (wanting to remain at Rangers) were all unavailable last summer that we considered our next option Chris Hughton but decided to wait a year to see if one of the others became available. Holden then gets to be a stop gap that didn’t work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
