The appointment of Ian Holloway has made little difference to the team's performance.

We'll be lucky not to get relegated to the third tier of English soccer. What happened to the glory days of the Premier League?
We've sold off all our good players - we couldn't hold on to Charlie Austin who frankly deserved better than playing for a mediocre Championship side.

Won't be surprised if Fernandes sells off his ownership and focussed just on his Air Asia travel and leisure business.
He clearly has no idea about F1 or English soccer.

Tony Fernandes watching the game in the Amex Stadium with Les Ferdinand and Chris Ramsey. :wink:

Unfortunately, QPR losing 3-0 to Brighton. :(

Come On You RRRRRRrrrrrrrssssssssss1!!! :biggrin:

what about Ranieri ? it's hard to sack him but Leicester looks set for a relegation fight. the difficult decision must be made. it's crisis time.

Ranieri is a tough one. He still holds a lotta love with the public and neutral fans. He's also just won the BBC Sports Personality Manager of the Year award.
Even if Leicester get relegated, I think he'll still keep his job but it'll be very difficult to win back promotion to the EPL especially if the likes of Vardy and Mahrez leave.

Moyes will be next for the axe :biggrin:

AP is waiting for a ring. Moyes is also waiting a call from the board.

Sam Allardyce to Crystal Palace, Alan Pardew to Swansea, Bob Bradley to Sunderland, and David Moyes to Hull. Mike Phelan back to Man Yoo as Jose's second assistant. :biggrin:

Leicester will keep Ranieri but spend money in the Jan transfer window to try and beat the drop. :biggrin:

Leicester still need him in the CL to earn some good $$ before sacking him. So he better be good in the CL, the further he progresses the better chance of him staying.

Leicester should enjoy their time in the CL, because it may be their last time. :biggrin:

Ronaldo rejected €300m China move with €100m salary - Jorge Mendes

Cristiano Ronaldo's agent says the superstar rejected an offer from a Chinese Super League club that would have paid him over €100 million ($105,581,500) per year.

Jorge Mendes confirmed to Sky Sports Italia in an interview released on Thursday night that the unnamed club were willing to pay Real Madrid a transfer fee of €300 million ($316,744,500).

"From China, they've offered €300m to Real Madrid and more than €100m per year to the player," Mendes said.

"But money is not everything; the Spanish club is his life."

The €300m transfer fee would have nearly tripled the record €105m price that Manchester United paid Juventus for Paul Pogba in the summer.

Ronaldo's proposed salary of €100m -- or €1,923,077 per week -- also would have blown away the €17,453,800 (€335,650 per week) he is reported to make at his current deal at Madrid.

Last year, Mendes told the BBC that "someone will pay" £300m (then €396m) for Ronaldo should Real Madrid put him up for sale, but Mendes also claimed the Portuguese star had a £1 billion (€1.32bn) release clause.

Ronaldo, who won his fourth Ballon d'Or earlier this month, signed a new contract at Madrid in November, extending his commitment to the club until 2021.

Mendes was speaking in a taped segment from Dubai, where Ronaldo last week accepted the honour of best player at the Globe Soccer Awards.

The video was released a day after Carlos Tevez, Ronaldo's former teammate at Manchester United, signed a major deal with Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua.

It was initially thought that Tevez could make as much as £615,000 a week, but subsequent reports said the deal was closer to £226,000 weekly -- a salary of £11,752,000.

Last week, Shanghai SIPG signed Brazil midfielder Oscar from Chelsea for around £52m, but Mendes was confident Ronaldo would not be the next in line.

"The Chinese market is a new market," Mendes said. "They can buy a lot of players, but then again it is impossible to go for Ronaldo.

"Cristiano is the best player in the world and best ever. It is normal to have some offers.

"He won the European Championship with Portugal. It's like winning the Italian league with Genoa -- they were not the favourite."

Ronaldo doesn't need the money. More interested in honours and silverware.

He's never gonna win another Ballon d'Or or FIFA Player of the Year playing in China.
Arrogant he maybe but he has the talent to back up his cockiness.

Question: When will the Chinese start buying into EPL clubs like the Qataris and Russian oligarchs? Where does all the $$$ come from?
