    Bad set of results today.

    With the exception of Stoke's hammering at Chelsea, the clubs around us all picked up points today. We are now bottom of the table and with a daunting fixture against Arsenal tomorrow, it isn't looking good. We have to get that elusive next win very soon as the clock is ticking!

    Well we can’t get any lower Leicester. It’s going to go two ways. We either accept relegation and plan for next season or we actually get some positive results and start moving to safety. The January sales could be a turning point for our club. We can only hope.

    Surely Lai is going to have to put his hands into his pockets now or he will own a Championship side and that's not a happy prospect for us as fans and him as the owner.

    Unless we get a win SOON it's looking like curtains. Without some goals I do not see any great escape occurring this season.
    Thanks a bunch Putin.......we'll be seein' you next year!
    Football is about goals and winning.....both seriously absent since the start of the season!
    Given our board and their attitude, if we go down, it'll be a long long time before we see the Premiership again. So much for the Chinaman raising our profile......we're a laughing stock!

    I'd throw a few thousand at a lower league club for a striker the moment the window opens. The likes of Christian Doige at Forest Green, (Yes I know they are bottom of the pile) for example. Scores around every other game. Might sound silly but he knows where the net is and would be well up for it. We did it in the 60s and got John Kaye and Jeff Astle! FGR would bite our hand off for £200,000. We wouldn't miss that sum. Then look for another striker of real pedigree.
    The alternative is to accept relegation now.

    So very true Leicester, I can't believe he could spend the money he did not to back it up with hard cash to buy some decent players & keep us in the premier who would in their right mind would spend 200 million on a premier league mid table team just to let it slip away to the championship I can't see the logic in it at all , it's not that we need a massive clear out may be 3 half decent premier league players yes we would have to pay over the odds , but surely we have much more to lose if we go down , we will have to wait & see they may do that , we all hope they do that , realistically will they do it ? Who knows .

    Did Lai ever really have any ambition for the club to begin with? If he did surely Pulis should have been shipped out as soon as he took over. New owners almost always do this. Everyone around Lai new the Pulis style of play, a style that would get us treading water at best. Such a huge sum to pay for a club with so little return.

    Would help if the owner Lai was a football fan like the viles and wilfs owners,instead we got one who obviously has riches but no love of football just cash

    Jeremy peace remains the only football club owner to have made a profit out of the industry and probably will remain so for a very long time at the expense of our long term progress
