The Leicester City Courier
The terraces23 Jan 2034
Supporters organise against the Leicester City board
A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.
Match21 Jan 2034
No mercy from Leicester City
Chesterfield will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Leicester City were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.
Player ratings23 Jan 2034
Both of them José Villalba's — 9.11
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.11, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
Transfer targets23 Jan 2034
Leicester City rebuffed over Ryan McAidoo
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. West Ham United have kept their man, and Leicester City go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Market23 Jan 2034
Only the photograph left for Daniel Watson
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Daniel Watson will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Leicester City the goodbyes have quietly begun.
Market23 Jan 2034
Terms done: Ignacio Cano is going
Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Bromley waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Leicester City is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.
Transfer targets23 Jan 2034
Matheus França due for a Leicester City medical
Everything agreed with Tottenham, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Itumeleng Mahlangu falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

A falling-out at Leicester City
José Villalba and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
In brief
- Match Leicester City find a way past Exeter City
