Leicester City kick off the new season with a home fixture against MK Dons on 9th. August. How ironic when we've just been trying to pinch their manager. The Boxing Day match at Leeds United looks to be a juicy one apart from that one and the return fixture at Leicester next April I can't really get too enthused.

It really hits home when the fixtures come out. Looks like John Gregory is the favourite to be the next manager? Not too happy about that but I guess when you're in the 3rd division you are limited. MK Dons are a good side, pass it around well, but hell we should be looking to beat everyone this season.
Latest news is that Nigel Worthington could be in the frame as Mandaric has suggested that it could be the end of next week before a new manager is installed. Rumour is that this further delay is to sort out compensation with the Northern Ireland FA. Personally, I wouldn't be too disappointed with him as I always thought that Mandaric was wrong not to give him a crack at the start of last season after keeping us up the season before. David Hankey
