ITK - annoying but interesting…
at 11:41 30 Jul 2025

Hi - although everyone dislikes supposed ITK posters, especially with some of the pro-board PR bots on here recently, I did want to share some info on here that may be of interest, even though both subjects have been done to death!

Marti - a friend was part of the Leicester interview process. According to Marti, the gardening leave came about from a complete breakdown between him and Nourry. He knew he would be going this summer hence his agent touting him for other Championship jobs.
He went into the process as 4/5th favorite but interviewed so well and impressed LCFC so much with his pitch that he jumped to the top of the queue. They’ve gone for him as they really need to unite their fan base and they think he did that here and will do it there.

Kelman - was always going to leave this summer as he didn’t want to come back to QPR and sit on the bench or be rotated. I’ve heard him on speakerphone putting on a cod French accent and slagging the new gaffer off, so we’re better off without him. Charlton actually put a bid in straight away after the playoff final,so surprised it took so long.

Anyway, thought it was interesting to share, personally looking forward to the new season, but I feel like that every July!

Nourry

I understand why Nourry gets a lot of stick and why most want him out but on the flip side he stuck with the manager when we were on a awful run, his signings are mostly looking much better now they have adjusted to the Championship and he has listened to the fans and started comms about how long injured players are out for.

I don’t like how he’s learning on the job at our club, but maybe he’s not as terrible as some would have you believe?

(Just playing devils advocate!)

Marginally better than recent games, the good performances came from Clarke-Salter, Saito (looks like a good left back!) Varane, Smyth, & Morgan. The rest were terrible.

What dembele was doing with that attempted clearance for their goal was criminal.
But the most worrying thing for me is the tactics - we were finally slightly more direct thank god, but what are we trying to do? There is no shape, movement or width, it’s so bad. The players are mostly trying hard, but you can see the lack of direction.

And Celar, yeah that’s not gonna work - was like playing with 10 men.

Well that was boring. I’m a big Marti fan, think he’s been great for us but I don’t understand the current tactics. Either play 2 up front with wingers or play a midfielder who can pass it forwards.

Cook to Clarke-Salter must have been the most common pass we made. Also, time to stop playing Dunne at fullback, it worked last season, it’s not working this one.

It’s not all negative, Frey was good and scored a great goal, Nardi and Paal played well too.

Just so so boring!

Watched the game in the LCFC directors box, sat behind Nourry, he was a very happy chap at full time and spent much of the 2nd half kicking every ball. At full time I said ‘we have to keep this gaffer!’ to which he replied - ‘100% - we love him’.

It was a perfect away performance, you could see from kick off that it was about frustrating LCFC, making sure they didn’t get an early goal and bringing on pace in the 2nd half. Every single player worked their bollocks off, but most impressive were the centre backs and centre mids, the amount of interceptions, blocks and forcing the oppo wide was seriously impressive.

Convinced we are staying up!
