I mean I went to university in Nottingham and two of my friends are season ticket holders and have been for the past 25 years. So clearly more clued up than you my simple little friend.

Then they're not actual Forest fans. I've just posed this question to two Forest fans friends of mine btw which go home and away and they reiterated the same thing. Leicester is a complete irrelevancy for them and always has been.

Theirs is Real Sociedad.

Liverpool.

Thing is, not one Derby or Forest fan would genuinely consider Leicester as their biggest rival.

This will probably only be a part of it but I'd imagine the hoarding by PL clubs of academy players can't help. Traditionally the SPL was a league which gave young talented players a platform to build their careers and now I can barely think of any which are coming through that are very highly...

I think it was a fairly decent fee by our standards for that time as well. Robins brought him in thinking he could turn him into an old school CF somehow not realising that despite his 6"4 frame he had the physical threat of a timid cat.

Just look at the last set of accounts which Swiss Ramble has analysed. They're all on there.

I'd say closer to £30m. Half of the league's wage bill ranges from £30m to over £100m+ at the time Leicester were last in the Championship. There was only a handful on £20m or less.

No. Latest accounts available are for 23/24 season.

I mean that's just not true is it. Their wage bill in their last set of accounts sat at around £31m - which is nowhere near parachute club level.

I think there's a pretty poor stigma against the Championship as a whole from the PL hierarchy in all honesty. When was the last time a PL side paid a Championship club the buy out clause for their manager?

Yep last time they didn't qualify was 2004. Mad really but it happens.

It didn't really make much of a difference to Sunderland's and Luton's promotion charge if you look at who they brought in. Possibly you could argue Sunderland more than Luton with Le Fee but he was incredibly average for the most part. I think it's a case of using the window to compliment...

Ghana didn't qualify.

Would it though? Luton when they went up only brought a couple of players, Sunderland brought in a couple last January as well. I think if we utilise it correctly in terms of bringing in quality where it's needed then sure it's an important window but I'd only really qualify it as massive if...

I don't think his reputation has a player has much to do with it to be honest. In fact if anything his reputation as a player is what helped him in his early career to get the jobs he landed. His prior record in the PL, which FWIW isn't as bad as it's made out to be, is what's preventing him...

With the greatest respect to Lampard how many Championship clubs genuinely have that kind of luxury...? It's exceptionally rare that if a key player is sold another is waiting in the wings ready and able to automatically step into their shoes. He's only really correct in theory.

In terms of quality the SPL is the worst it's been in decades. I genuinely see zero appeal in taking up a managerial job there, certainly not against a promotion chasing side in the Championship.

It depends where we are with injuries ect. Calling it massive is a bit dramatic at this stage when really we need another winger and a midfielder probably at best. I wouldn't be doing too much to disrupt what could well be a very settled squad at that point apart from filling obvious gaps.
