The Thai owners could learn a very simple lesson from Leicester's post-war history. Since 2000, 12 managers in 11 years. The 12 managers before this spanned a time period of 45 years. One of the first of these was Matt Gillies, Leicester's longest serving manager (10 years!) Gillies won nothing in his first 3 years with the club, something that would have undoubtedly got him the sack in the modern game. However, patience was rewarded: Leicester finished as runners-up in FA Cups in 1961 and 1963, League Cup winners in 1964 and League Cup runners up in 1965. Amazing what people can do when you give them a fair crack of the whip!
Still, it wouldn't be Christmas without buying a new LCFC calendar full of players who won't be playing for the club by the following August...
