"One thing i hate about being a manager is when we are 2 up and we mess it up. Team totally lost concentration right after the break and then to conceed the 2nd goal from a simple corner its shocking."

Leicester sign Italian foward for £2.5M:
Fernando Forestieri is Strattons 2nd signing of the January transfer window, the 22 year-old joins from Serie A team Genoa. Leicester Boss said he is having a very frustrating transfer window.

Going to start it again ?, iwas enjoying it and maybe check out my leicester story ?
Season Summary 2011/2012:
The Foxes finished their first season in the Premier League with manager Jake Stratton in a very respectful 11th spot. A rather successful position in the league was not only the sucess of the season, Leicester finished runners up in the FA Cup meaning the Foxes will play in the Euro Cup, losing out to Tottenham who also had a successful season winning the Premier League, FA Cup and the Community Shield.
Leicester Striker Bas De Jong won the Golden Boot after bagging 24 goals in the Premier League, 27 in all competitions. The young Dutch foward also won signing of the season, Leicester signed him on a free transfer from Dutch side AZ.
Everton were amoung the Premier League casualties getting relegated to the Championship, along with Bolton and Nottm Forest who only managed two wins all season. Sunderland were the suprise package finishing 3rd place, meaning the Black Cats will have a go at Champions League football next season.
Q.P.R were crowned Championship champions meaning they will play Premier League football next season, along with runners up Birmingham who got the automatic spot by goal difference and Burnley won the play off final to secure their place in the Premier League.
Season 2012/2013:
So we pick up in December 2012, after 14 Premier League games Leicester City sit in 11th place after a poor start to the season, not winning in their opening 5 games. But with a few grinded out results The Foxes got going and find themselves 11th place, after being knocked out of the Carling Cup by rivals Nottm Forest with a weakened team it now means Leicester can concentrate on the League and Euro Cup which they have started brilliantly in. Leicester won against Teplice in the qualfication round drawing 1-1 away and winning at The Walkers 3-0, The Foxes were handed a tough group. Lokomotiv Moscow, HSV and Celtic, winning 2-1 away to Moscow, beating HSV 1-0 at home and then winning against Celtic in a thrilling 4-3 encounter where Celtic took the lead 3 times but The Foxes kept fighting and scored a 92nd minute winner to make the Walkers erupt, the 2nd tie against Moscow was also won 4-2 making Leicester's chances of qualifying for next round very high.
