You utter cunner, Olly
Nah - in all honesty, he's clearly a limited manager whose reputation is based on his quotability more than his managerial abilities. The board haven't really backed him in the transfer market (despite what they may say), and I can't blame him for moving to a club where he'll have the chance to spend some money and have a greater chance of getting to the Premiership.
I'm more concerned about who replaces him, as our board aren't exactly known for making shrewd appointments (Pulis, Williamson)...

| well not really, Leicester have a lot more money to spend and really should be challenging for the playoffs. Plymouth I think have been punching above their weight.

I wouldn't say Argyle are punching above their weight, because the catchment area, stadium, infrastructure and playing squad are right for a midtable/top half Championship side, and there is arguably the potential to be another Wiggun (although more likeable).

Ah thank god it's someone half decent, always thought Milan was looking for his new 'arry.
Just hope he has time to have an impact on the players, the playing style and is able to bring in some players if needed.
All this talk of "a backward step" is nonsense tbh, Leicester isn't a massive club, they're also not one who should be challenging for the play-offs every season.
Just a team that has potential, a good sized stadium, good support (at times). Should be finishing in the top half of the league every year.

| well this is just my view. I reckon they'll be just above the relegation zone come the end of this year.

I went to watch Plymouth Coventry earlier last month. And was impressed by Argyle. Thought they had an awesome midfield.
Martin-Nalis-Norris-Halmosi
Impressed me how it completly over run ours. Even though we had the suposed quality of ex-Arsenal Jullian Gray and Stephen Hughes.
