Why would any freshly promoted team agree to that kind of contract, it's just ridiculous !!!

I went back and watched the interview again .... It's disgraceful !!! How do you face the players after spewing that shit.

100% correct !! The player does not have to leave the pitch if the injury he's receiving treatment for was caused by a bookable offence.

We have Leicester fans who want us to lose so that Cooper will be fired !!!

I find that statement offensive.. Are you trying to start an argument ?? 🤣

I get the feeling that that after Chelsea Potter has his sights set on the top half & isn't interested in a relegation battle. Playing in Stoke on a cold January night may not be his cup of tea.

The funny thing is that Leicester fans think that Cooper has to go if Southampton win.

Potter is looking for a high profile gig to keep him in the limelight. He wont want to tarnish his reputation by getting relegated. He turned down Leicester in the Summer but that was when a points deduction looked likely

I'm guessing you were being facetious when you said Puel. But for me Claude is a very solid Manager/Coach who knows how to tighten up a defence .. His player assessment is second to none & I always felt he would make a great DOF. Defence is how you beat relegation ... Not possession football I actually thought that Southampton pulled the trigger on him way too soon

Vestergaard hasn't started for Leicester so far this season due to a "minor knock" but I doubt he would make the team anyway with Wout Faes & Caleb Okoli being the chosen CB's for Steve Cooper this season.

I just get the feeling that Potter is holding out for something bigger. I can't see him joining a relegation contender.

I should qualify my comment by saying that I am 72 but I really don't understand why you would play without a striker when you don't need to. All this talk about overloading the mid-field is bull shit !!

He will be in great demand in the near future as relegation candidates start firing managers.

It's always going to be difficult to find a manager who is prepared to take on a relegation contender team. Leicester found that out when they were trying to replace Maresca. My choice would be Michael Carrick but would he leave Middlesborough ?

Yeah. They would love Cooper after that. I can't see Martin surviving if you lose at home to Leicester. Boring Defensive Cooper against Play Out From The Back Martin. Should be fun !!!

I get the feeling that Potter is holding out for a "big job". Not many managers had any interest in joining Leicester with a large points deduction looming.. I don't think Cooper was attracting too many offers at the time so took it anyway. He is very unpopular with Leicester fans at the moment !!!

I like Cameron Archer but I agree with you that his style of play doesn't fit with how Martin wants to play.

That was definitely the most entertaining Premier league game of the weekend !!

What is embarrassing is that the Independent Panel ruling on the appeal said that the PSR rules "are, in relevant parts, far from well drafted". A multi billion pound business that has left loop holes in its rule book is a bit comical. Leicester wont be too popular at the next EPL meeting but I'm guessing they don't care.

Leicester moved their financial end of year back one month which is allowed & by doing so were not in the EPL when the charges were laid. A technicality but it held up on appeal. It reflects poorly on the EPL as it shows their incompetence by not closing a loophole.

Hard to say what the points deduction will be. Leicester have pushed back since being charged & there is talk that we may have gone over in the Championship as well.

So many managers want to play out from the back these day but there are so many teams that don't have a keeper who capable of doing it. It drives me crazy when a team persists with it even though the players are not capable.

I've watched a few games & yes he does stand out but the Scottish Premiership is such a poor league that it's hard to judge how well he would do in the Premier.

I think there is quite a bit to be gained from the game. There is a strong possibility of meeting Leeds in the playoffs so laying a beating on them now would lay down a marker. The reverse of that is the damage it would to if Leeds get an easy win.

Thanks for that very clear & very interesting explanation
