And, we're off.....2016/17

Not surprised to see Vardy's name on the list.
The guy comes across as a knob.

You don't know what to believe though, I also read that Okazaki liked an instagram picture of Ranieri leaving.

It doesn't seem possible that players would turn on Ranieri after what happened last year.
I hope that it's all BS.

Pleased even more that we swerved Vardy, what an idiot for not signing for a bigger club when he had the 1 big chance. They don't often come around again, could be championship for him next year.

Rowett took over Birmingham when they were near bottom ( ok not the same league ) but guided them to 7th before he was sacked. Might have gone even higher with them.

He played for Leicester as well which will certainly win him some friends.

And being a defender himself will probably get Leicester well organised and hard to beat.

A bit of value at 10/1 I reckon especially now that Mancini ruled himself out and I cant see Pearson and Pardew going there for various reasons.

There speaks someone whose only knowledge of Rowett as a manager is garnered from the media. You clearly did not have the misfortune of having to sit through the turgid one-dimensional football he served up every week.

Other teams in the Championship like Brighton, Reading and Fulham manage to play an expansive, entertaining style as do some on tight budgets like Brentford and Barnsley.

I am afraid Rowett remains a long way from being a PL manager.

And this sounds like someone not living in the real world.

Do you think Leicester care about the brand of football right now?

They need results quickly and from a pretty average squad of players to boot . Rowett did some great work with Burton and Birmingham.

Do you think Palace brought Allardyce in for his expansive football?

That's why you have to respect Van Persie for taking the opportunity when it came his way.

No it's someone who has been a season-ticket holder at Birmingham for 40+years.

I also live in Leicestershire surrounded by Leicester fans so, just maybe, I am better qualified to speak than yourself on both Rowett's aattributes and what Leicester fans want.

As for Allardyce I will make a judgement at the end of the season but his pragmatic style has not exactly paid off as yet.

I will wait until the end of the season to evaluate Zola and the impact of his entertaining/expansive style as well. Not exactly paid off yet either. But you are better qualified to say how well this is going than me.

I am far from convinced that Zola is the answer but I know Rowett wasn't.

Anyway, back to the Football League thread!

Another good win, hope to keep the run going but big test next week away at Spurs!

Good goal by Fab on his 300th PL appearance and what an instinctive goal by Costa, he made it look easy but it was far from it, great technique and another 3 points and another game less 👍
