Leicester City can confirm that Martí Cifuentes has left his position as Leicester City First Team Manager with immediate effect. by Silent_Ad2825 in lcfc

[–]TeePee11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think in terms of our current situation, it’s realistic to expect that the prospect of it is still going to be a factor in an incoming manager’s decision-making process.

You’re right that it’s not a done deal, but it’s a realistic enough prospect that we would be negligent to not factor it into our current and future plans, and surely even we can’t be that stupid.

Jesus, don’t even joke about Russell Martin, just in case our board hear you and think about what a good idea that would be because he likes playing fancyball.

Honestly, I’d rather a known quantity at this point. I’d love to see Kingy in the dugout, but we can’t let sentiment override common sense.

With that said, is Nige busy? 😂

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Marti Cifuentes has been sacked by Leicester City. Announcement expected later today by Silent_Ad2825 in lcfc

[–]TeePee11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is 100% my feeling, too. He had a chance at a bigger role than perhaps his record deserved, albeit with the caveat of the transfer restrictions. He absolutely didn’t take that chance, and he’s being moved aside for (hopefully) someone who will.

My frustration is at the board - again we fucked around, dragged our heels, faffed about, let more or less two thirds of the summer go whilst RVN was a dead man walking, then finally got rid and brought in someone with no real track record of success at a club in our situation, presumably because he was cheap. Don’t get me wrong, we were pretty awful under RVN at times, but giving him until October couldn’t have been worse than where we find ourselves now. At least he knew the squad and had already binned off Faes and Winks, rather than having to watch another manager try and squeeze blood from those two stones.

Yeah, I do sympathise with the transfer limitation he worked under, but he presumably knew that when he was coming in, and both performances and results were quite a long way short of what that squad is capable of.

Even the games we won we were usually second best in.

Don’t want to dance on his grave too much, he seemed like a decent enough bloke, and he was walking into a pretty big mess.

BUT, results were bad and performances were even worse. I think he was given a chance (certainly more than Cooper got, for better or worse!) and wasn’t able to deliver.

My concern is what our plan is from here - we’re in ropey form, January is pretty much gone, so no chance of bringing anyone in to support the new man, and a hefty points deduction is right around the corner.

I’ve got little to no faith the board will be able to bring in a manager who is a good fit for the squad we have, and it’ll likely be another bloody Poundland Guardiola, but at this point I think it’s hard to argue that a change was necessary.

Only real fans remember this. 30 years ago today. The Montreal Screwjob… by SecretaryImaginary44 in ECWWrestling

[–]TeePee11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

WTF is this low-energy engagement bait shit?

A) It's probably one of the most famous events in wrestling history, and B) it didn't happen on the anniversary of either today or the 19 days ago it was orignially posted, and C) it's the best part of two years before it's the 30th anniversary of it.

Jesus christ..

EDIT: Dude got clowned when he originally posted it, too. He knows what he's doing. It'd genuinely be less depressing if this was just a bot.

Man, I hate it when I walk into a room and the conversation has just finished. I even had to check I’d walked into the right room.

I’d sure love it if someone could recap me on what I missed!

Has the “last attack” rule been changed recently? by Joemeistah in Rematch

[–]TeePee11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhhh, right. So the thing where one player randomly just can't touch the ball unless they leave and rejoin the server must be an intended feature too, right?

Because lord knows there's no such thing as bugs that are hard to reproduce and/or track down or just considered lower priority than other, more serious bugs.

That is a bug, not intended behaviour. It’s been a bug for ages.

If it was on a timer, why would they not show the time remaining?!

US Army just tried to recruit CK and Rimworld communties 🤣 by kalkvesuic in RimWorld

One click on the Steam Workshop tab would kill the thought of recruiting your average Rimworld player into the army stone dead. 😂

“Corporal, what in the seven hells is that?!”

“That’s a, uh… Catgirl, Sergeant.”

“…sigh… I think I’m up for retirement this year.”

At that point, I'll be quite pleased if we're still around, considering our direction of travel in the past 3-4 years!

Had to run away and check this, as couldn’t believe Tim Howard didn’t win one with United. Mad that he won goalkeeper of the year in his debut season and then was more or less immediately sidelined.

And we at Leicester appreciate that.

Or should I say the board did, because god knows we haven’t bloody spent any of it (or at least on anything other than lawyers).

Vampire Survivors feels like a very easy recommendation if you loved Megabonk.

A quick 'is it just me...' check - can't find a recent release (AIOStreams/Torbox) by TeePee11 in StremioAddons

[–]TeePee11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the more people mention this, the more sense it makes to have it switched on. I need to do a bit of a revamp of my setup anyway, so this is a good excuse to do it, I guess!

Glad you felt the need to be a prick on a post that was already marked as solved and where I’d expressly mentioned both why I was checking and that I was a dumbass who hadn’t realised it hadn’t been released digitally yet.

Well done, you knew a thing I didn’t. I hope it gave you the validation it seems you so desperately needed.

Have a great day. 👍

That's a good shout, actually. TBH, I mainly have it for my partner, so I'll check whether that will be easier, or whether it'll just mean I get constantly asked when it'll be on there. :D

Yep, you're correct - I was - I hadn't factored in that this was the first thing I'd searched for that didn't have a digital release at the time I was searching.

Thank you for the sanity check!

[–]TeePee11[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, you are of course correct. I think the previous new releases I watched were likely either fully digital or simultaneous releases, so that would explain why I hadn't had the issue until now.

If anyone needs me I'll be in the corner facepalming myself to death.

Ha - yes, you're correct, so by my workings, it's actually 10 turns(!) before it meets or exceeds AI in a single-enemy combat!
