That was a few weeks ago though, wasn't it? Thus giving them time to thrash out a deal with BSA. It all fits very nicely. Hey, Leicester - Leave Len-non al-one, ba be daaa, ba be ba-bi-da-bi daaa

Yes - was in the news couple of weeks back. Three of the Leicester "Academy" players including Pearson's son whilst on a "goodwill" tour to the home of their owners in Thailand...

All three got sacked. TBH don't see there could be much of an argument about it.

^^^ especially as their newish owners are Thailand and they were in Thailand on a 'goodwill' tour.

But something must have brought his to a head as they had plenty of opportunities last season before their amazing end of season form. I wonder what.

Yep. That'd do it.

Frankly, if this were the actual case, I think it'd be more disturbing vis-a-vis his SON being in the film.

I suspect they've finally agreed he's a fckg head case.

Of course Big Sam turned it down. Did none of you hear him saying at the end of the season as he left west ham that he was looking forward to spending time with his family. So he wouldn't take another job a few weeks later!

No quotes, but according to the Mirror "Lennon is very keen on the Leicester job."

This isn't good. I have a feeling we might be needing a new manager.

I fear you may be right. Looking at the other names in the frame, I think he's the clear favourite
