From the “When You’re Smiling” podcast on BBC:
"The thing that annoys me really is that Enzo spoke a lot about how he wanted to settle somewhere with his family and be involved in a 'long-term project'.

"It almost seems like the first club that has come along, that maybe matches his ambition, he has just gone with.

"If it was a well-run club, and he was leaving us with our financial problems, I would more understand it. But he is going to Chelsea who have spent £1bn and are selling hotels so they aren't getting into trouble with Financial Fair Play.

"He is just swapping one financial nightmare for another - that is the bit that I don't understand. It has annoyed me a bit."
This pretty much my feelings. Annoyed, but whatever, he is swapping one mess for a more high profile mess. The Foxes have enough problems in the upcoming season, if the manager doesn’t want to be there he is welcome to leave. Thanks for the Championship season, bye.

edit: Oooo, I like this one;
Only 3 more Chelsea managers to Xmas

Already waiting for premier league 2024-2025 :cool:
Frankly, I am dreading it. Leicester is going to be effective starting in a hole with a guaranteed points deduction coming, no budget, a new manager and probably forced to sell their best players to meet sustainability rules. Frankly, making 17th at the end of the season is looking mighty ambitious.
