Leicester complete the permanent signing of Harry Worley from Chelsea on a three-year deal.
Fans’ chiefs are divided on the future of Leicester City manager Holloway.
I have been asked many times since Sunday how I feel. Family, friends, everyone I know, have been kind enough to enquire. You’ve probably had the same. I was "shocked" at first. Then I settled for "devastated".
Harry Worley spoke of his determination to help Leicester City return to the Championship after penning a permanent deal at the Walkers Stadium.

Chief executive Paul Aldridge says Leicester City should take time over any decisions on the future of the club and manager Ian Holloway.
They were supposed to be keeping their eye on the ball but some Leicester legends had their minds elsewhere yesterday at Steve Walsh’s Golf Day at Glen Gorse
Iain Hume today apologised to Leicester City’s fans following the club’s relegation, admitting a lack of goals was to blame.
Chief executive Paul Aldridge has admitted relegation to League One is a “big financial blow” to Leicester City.
Upon hearing the rumour that Holloway's office has been cleared, what sort of things would you expect to find in there if you were clearing it?

Leicester City’s chief executive Paul Aldridge today called on the Blue Army to stick by the club in their hour of need.
Supporters Club chairman Cliff Ginnetta is calling for Ian Holloway to be given more time as Leicester City manager.
The harsh reality of football has now hit home to Leicester City – no-one is ever safe. Too big to go down? Too good to go down? With our stadium? With our army of fans?
Leicester City owner Milan Mandaric insisted he wanted a Premier League place “now’’ as the 2007-08 season dawned. He re-adjusted his original three-year plan to reach the promised land.

Leicester City’s battling draw at Stoke yesterday was not enough to prevent the heartbreak of crashing into the third level of the game for the first time in their history.
So, it has finally come to this. The unthinkable has happened, and Leicester City will be in football's third tier next season for the first time in their history.
Embattled Leicester City manager Ian Holloway said he took "full responsibility" for Leicester City’s relegation and admitted: "We have let everyone down."
Milan Mandaric says he will "take some time" before deciding whether to stick with manager Ian Holloway following yesterday’s disaster.
does anymore have knowlege of when our current crop of superstarts are contrcated until, whos out of contract ,etc?
I want Leeds to win the play offs and get the fcuk out of our new division.

Feel that despite all the obvious bad feeling this afternoon, Stearman deserves a special mention.
