[iThe Alex have announced today that with immediate effect, Dario Gradi MBE will take over the role of first team manager on a caretaker basis.

Chairman John Bowler is in discussions with Steve Holland concerning his future role at the football club.[/i

Just to clear up one thing, Gradi had never given up his involvement (meddling) in the first team. He stepped out of the job when Crewe were on the slippery slope (his doing) and then refused to let Holland do his own thing. My seat is not far from Dario's and it's amazing how many messages he conveyed to Holland through his comical sidekick Baker during games - director's orders and all that.

Although a number of Crewe fans believe this could kick start our season, I am royally peed off that this once hero, recent villain, has-been manager is allowed to once again call the shots.

You have my sympathy Steve, you never had a chance.

Crunch match for the Foxes at sunny Scunny.

Time was [iI[/i could beat Shorpe.



Who put the c**t in Shorpe?

Stirring victory for the Foxes over Scunny but, like Jordan's sweater, it's very tight at the top.



Look out for Roberto di Matteo's MK Dons, who are on a major run.

but will they last the pace. 2 from the mighty leeds, leicester or scunny for me

Leeds need to find consistancy. Theres not a game that I think 'this will be a win' and I think that this is needed for us to go up automatically. The past two performances, 9 goals in 2 games against L1 teams shows how good we can be and needs to be built upon

i agree but we need a class centre half in january and G Mac needs to find out what his best team is and stop chopping and changing

Please let me enjoy the moment. There's still a long way to go.

Pah and pfft.

Matty Fryatt.

Two points dropped for us. Leicester, deservedly top. (Only team that we haven't beat at the top).

Latics will be on Sky twice in the new year. Not sure what we've done to deserve this.

The way we are playing at the moment, the Leeds and Leicester games could be embarrassing!

Can't grumble with 10 points out of 12.

So far this year we have played well against the so called 'better' teams. We just can't break down teams that come to us and put everyone behind the ball.

Looks like Leeds are going to be in trouble for appointing Grayson when they were not given permission to speak to him.Is he that good a manager to go through all this to get him?

News from the Alex today confirming Gudjon Thordarson as our new manager.

Not made my mind up on this appointment yet but I am delighted that this will (hopefully) be the end of Gradi and his meddling.

Foxes top going into 2009, but MK Dongs hanging on.

See what the transfer window brings, if anything.

We've been linked with Gow from Rangers. Although I can't see why. We have Beckford and Becchio who seem to get goals, Christie has scored a couple in the coouple of games he has played, Snodgrass is scoring a few (although i know he plays midfield as well) and on the few times I have seen him, Showumni looks good, especially for what seems 5th choice striker. Surely the 200k were rumoured to be bidding can be spent on the defence which is meant to be very shaky?

Only 4 games left on in L1 due to the weather. Most of Leicester's rivals at the top are off today, so hopefully will lose ground.



MK Dongs are due to play Monday.

Foxes 3 Orient 0.



Match that, Dongs.

Can’t see anyone catching Leicester. Best (/ most consistant) side in it by a distance.

Hope McDons f--- up though. Can’t be doing with that horrible franchise doing well. I don’t rate them as a footballing side either.

Hopefully we’ll beat Leicester live on tele though.

Yeah, and then you'll wake up.

Bet you can't even remember the last time you beat us!

I notice you scraped a fortunate victory last night. Have you got Windass now?

Carlisle 3 MK Dongs 2
Hereford 5 Oldham 0



Leicester away to Yeovil on Monday.
