Mine is consolodation. I had a good season this year finishing just outside the playoffs. A few loans early on and i could just get there.But my first 4 games are very hard, especially without feeder club loan players. Also i would like to strengthen a lot more which i have started to do so i wont have to rely so much on feeder club.Oh yeh and lastly im trying to build a younger side that will keep me more stable for the future

My hopes for Leicester is that we continue to progress and keep improving. We had a decent season last year by reaching the playoffs so this season I will be hoping to go one further by either gaining automatic promotion or by winning the playoffs.

I think it's important for us as a club to keep moving forward so that the momentum takes us up into the Championship and beyond (in my best buzz lightyear voice).

Hopefully with the backing of Arsenal this season we will be able to turn Leicester into a team that nobody likes playing. It won't be easy as we have a depleated squad but we have identified the areas we need to impove on and we will be working flat out to get the best possible squad together over the coming weeks to challenge for the League 1 title.

Staying in the premiership is the hope.

CRadford7 · Cult Status

My hopes are:

1. Achieving a respectable, mid table league position.
2. Having a good crack at the Spanish Cup.
3. Boosting by squad, by bringing in better players.

messiah · Cult Status

1. promotion
2. a cup run
3. beat coventry
4. reduce the age of my team

Safehands · Cult Status

Id like to

1. sort out world peace
2. have a word with Britney Spears before she loses her kids for good
3. win the lottery

and

1, win the FA cup now some of my young squad are more experienced and some new signings
2. Fight with Man Utd for 3rd place - and Liverpool and Chelsea for top spot - although my plan is still to mount a massive assault next season and consolidate youth and transfers this season - that doesnt mean we wont be going for it though!

Superb!!! I never saw anything wrong with loaning big names!

Simon · Cult Status

1) Be accepted into the new league
2) Get promoted
3) Beat Stu and become the best Spanish team (within 3 seasons though, even i'm not that good to do it in 1!)
4) keep the identity of my new club under wraps

I've already failed number 4, great start this is!

Simon

Rich , I thought one of yours would be to finally try and beat Leeds. Something your dying to do but still cant

Bluebird99 · Cult Status

Rich? Why is Rich trying to beat Leeds GG? Unless you mean Rich is trying to beat leeds players with a big stick (something that should def happen in real life!!!)

GarethGardner · Cult Status

OOOPS i meant to say Steve

Bluebird99 · Cult Status

Yeah well comments like that are only going to get my boys more fired up GG so careful or your words will come back and bite you

GarethGardner · Cult Status

Being honest im not 100 % i will be in the game for the full season. Im getting real cheesed off with people pulling out of big money deals.He knows who im talking about

Bluebird99 · Cult Status

Wouldn't be newly appointed Espanyol manager Craig Radford your on about would it Gareth??? weirdface

Safehands · Cult Status

It would be a shame if you let one bad manager or deal stop you playing mate - but i know how you feel - it has happened to me a few times over the years

GarethGardner · Cult Status

Yep thats right Steve. I didnt want to name drop, But when someone reads another message board and they read you stating that you got a good deal, does that mean your taking the piss out of them and they then drop a million off the price tag after the deal had been agreed. Very poor. The worst part about it is that iv bought in 1 winger on loan who i promised to play every game, sell my other winger and planned to use his money to buy another winger to give me a fighting chance. People like him should have warnings on them. Im now stuck with a lop-sided midfield cos i promised to play the loan signing.

Christ this is all getting very deep, lol!

Luke_C · Cult Status

Now im not the manager but having read the message board mentioned I think its only fair of you to accuratly comment.

Didnt you actually say the other manager had come in with a "Silly offer" not really the same as saying you had a good deal.

GarethGardner · Cult Status

Iv just been told the deal is now actually back on . The reason being was a bit of banter, Strange banter to me though.Appologies if im in the wrong but i didnt really find it funny

Safehands · Cult Status

perhaps this could be a lesson then - that perhaps keeping the matter private would have been a better option lads?

and if not - suely the media pages is a better avenue avaliable than stirring things up on the message board - it used to lead to a lot of unneccessary arugments on the old game for anyone that didnt know - and im sure most of us dont want to see it come back

just a thought chaps

CRadford7 · Cult Status

Gareth my friend,

Nice of you to go public i must admit, first on the Cardiff City Message Board (oh yes i do read it), and secondly on here. If you actually read the City Messageboard, you would see my reply.

I also want to state here, that not once have i pulled out of any sort of deal. And a few managers i have dealt with would know this.

Gareth, i think you took the email to heart too much fella, as it was just meant to be a bit of friendly banter, as i now how long it took for us to sort out a deal. So based on how long it took us to sort the deal out, why on earth would i pull out. (All of this i have previoulsy said on the Cty M.B)

Just off the cuff, Simon (Arsenal) am i really a bad manager mate? Lol smile

Luke_C · Cult Status

I think the FA footballing world is going soft lol

GarethGardner · Cult Status

I truly believe that if this was kept quiet then a deal would not have happened. But its happening now so who gives a ....

CRadford7 · Cult Status

Mate, the deal was always going to happen!
