Dog Eat Dog World


BBC Radio Leicester has a weekly programme devoted to LCFC - 6pm on a Monday. I have just listened to a recording of Milan Mandaric on the show a few weeks ago which was pretty interesting. He had some interesting things to say about why he chose Leicester. I liked his style - understated and yet you do get a sense of his passion beneath it all. I especially liked that he gave the loyalty of the fans as one of his key reasons for coming to Leicester. Whilst that is the sort of thing you would expect someone in that situation to say he did actually sound genuine.

When asked if Rob Kelly will is 'safe' in his position, he made it clear that he will be judged on results. "He deserves a chance". Mr Kelly - you have been warned!

I like him.

Meantime there are other things going on in the football world today. Steve McClaren the England coach is fighting for his career with fans and the media baying for his blood after a lack lustre performance on Saturday. The England Captain John Terry has felt it necessary to make a public declaration that the whole team to a man is behind their coach. Methinks thou protesteth too much! Like Mr Mandaric says - being nice is all very well but it is results that count.

Its a dog eat dog world!

Indeed it is a d e d world.You can bet your boots if the captain of the side has to come out saying we support the manager, there's trouble ahead for sure

I saw a report that said Wayne Rooney was pretty cross with him although I read it in a hurry so could have got it wrong
