Under the current stewardship it is. Like expecting Usain Bolt to still win the 100m with a broken leg.

But they are playing City away - the absolute toughest fixture you could get. Burnley have probably got less than a 10% chance of getting to the semi finals. I'd suggest Sheffield United have probably a 60/65% chance and Rovers a 35/40% chance.

Can't understand why Burnley would be a shorter price than Sheffield United or Rovers personally.

I was interested to see how Mowbray stacked up against JDT at this level. I removed the League One season and included league and cup games for the seasons at Championship level. Mowbray - P212 - Won 35.8% JDT - P42 - Won 52.4%

Best performance in a long, long time. 10 players from the academy in the 20 man squad 16 English players, 2 Welsh, 1 Scottish, 1 Irish (Like watching old school football again) Average age of under 23. Oldest player in the squad was 27. The work rate and pressing was absolutely phenomenal. Reading the Leicester forums and them admitted we could have scored 5 or more goals before they scored. I'd love to see what JDT could do with a bit of money to supplement our wonderful academy.

And?

I thought he was officially leaving on the 30th June? Official site still lists him as our manager.

Tom-as-son's Blue and White Army is how I'd do it. Elongate the surname. I'm not going to start this after Chaddy started with Carlos Carvalhal's Blue and White Army. That ended well.

They'd won the league 6 times in 30 years before Tomasson. Then he won it 2 years in a row (they'd finished 2nd and 3rd the seasons before he joined). He also won the league and cup double. As far as I can make out it was 1988 the last time they did that.

Well I wanted a gamble rather than a safe appointment - but one with some managerial experience (ie. not Ferguson). JDT certainly ticks those boxes. He comes across very well in interviews. I'd rather JDT than Rooney all day long. We could be rolling the dice and getting a one - but equally we could be getting a six. Better than sticking with a 'three' every year.

Could leave Rovers with an interesting decision 😂 Like which taxi firm we are sending him to the airport with.

Which makes me wonder....maybe the new manager is now known internally, and he's not happy with it?

Absolutely. I'm excited at the appointment of Broughton....just because it gives hope of Knutsen. Knutsen would be an incredible appointment - not one I thought possible.

If that was true....could be potentially exciting on the manager front

But the other 65% of his Achilles was very brave.

Absolutely!!! Not a chance that a cricket ball missed Kean's head by inches and he didn't make sure everyone in the media knew he was the victim.

At this rate he will have to be bringing Liam Manning back to life to take the job if the process takes any longer. (I know Little and Atkinson are still alive)

I'm going for Wilcox as DOF. No idea on the manager.

Decisions, decisions...

Michael Duff isn't it?

I never rated N'Zonzi. It used to drive me mad when he'd throw his arms around after losing the ball and not bother running back. I'm amazed that he went on to have the career he did and play for the clubs he did.

His season only started in November, surely that's a short season?
