Strike Settlement Details Fri 23rd Nov 2001 17:55 The PFA are to receive £52.5m over three years as the players' unition and the Premier League resolved their dispute and averted the players' strike. |
Leicester 1-1 Town Sat 08th Sep 2001 18:09 A controversial last minute goal saw Peter Taylor grab a lifeline on an afternoon of high drama, but little impressive football. A year or so ago Barry Knight was the anti-hero of Bolton as he sent off two of their players and gave Town three penalties in the second leg of the play-off semi. Few of those decisions were debatable, however the two red cards, one penalty, a hatful of bookings, the failure to red card Robbie Savage and finally the late Dean Sturridge goal left supporters with a lot to talk about after the game. |
Town Face Bray Wanderers Thu 09th Aug 2001 10:28 Town play the second game of their short Irish tour tonight against Bray Wanderers. Pablo Counago is likely to return while along with Titus Bramble who missed out against Dublin with a dead leg. Jamie Clapham has a pulled hamstring and so won't be involved. |
Leicester Deny Eadie Approach Mon 25th Jun 2001 19:32 Reports this afternoon claim that Leicester are denying a Town approach for ex-Norwich man Darren Eadie. This is the second time this summer that Eadie has been linked with Town and it seems that the former scourge of Town may be seriously being considered by George Burley and his staff. |
Eadie for Town!!! Wed 23rd May 2001 15:29 Reports this afternoon suggest that Town may have made an enquiry about former Norwich City midfielder Darren Eadie. 25-year-old Eadie is likely to cost Town around the same £3 million mark that Leicester paid for him in December 1999. |
Cup Row Continues Sat 16th Dec 2000 11:07 The FA have made a pronouncement on the dispute between Town and Morecambe over ticket prices for the third round FA Cup tie at Christie Park. Town fans will pay £15 each for their 979 tickets, while the home fans will pay up to £25 with the majority of tickets at £20. |
Fabian's Battle Thu 16th Nov 2000 10:33 Town's right wing/full-back Fabian Wilnis is facing a battle to be fit for Monday's clash with Coventry. The Dutchman was injured by a bad tackle from Graham Stuart during Saturday's game with Charlton and then aggravated the injury in a block tackle during the second half. His calf is very sore and he also has a problem with his ankle. He is due to start running today, but he is still a fair distance from being able to kick a ball. Gary Croft and Titus Bramble will hope for a chance to play on Monday at Highfield Road should Wilnis not make it. Jim Magilton is also being treated for his recurrent ankle problem. |
Burley to Ring Changes Wed 01st Nov 2000 10:54 Town are set to leave out several key players for tonight's Worthington Cup game at Highbury. Mark Venus, Jim Magilton, Richard Naylor and James Scowcroft have all failed to train in the last couple of days and all are likely to miss out. George Burley has said players will only play if they are 100% fit in the Worthington Cup. That means there could be starting places for Martijn Reuser, David Johnson (renewing his early season partnership with David Johnson) and Titus Bramble. |
Scowy Leicester Link Wed 25th Oct 2000 16:51 James Scowcroft is claimed to be a target of Leicester City in reports today. The Town striker or midfielder has been admired by Peter Taylor since his days as under 21 manager when he gave Scowcroft more than the odd run-out. Taylor was reported to be at the reserve game with Arsenal last Wednesday and may see the Stanton-based player as an ideal replacement for Stan Collymore who is set to end leave Leicester after another bust-up. Town manager George Burley said of the story: "We are not looking to sell good players, we are looking to add to the squad." |
