THE CUNNING FOX - LEICESTER CITY NEWS - 13.07.2010

News Bulletin: investors, pre-season camp and rumours

A new week is here and we have put together a new news bulletin that hopefully will give you the
full view on all that happens in and around the club

Pre-season
Leicester City flew out to Slovenia today and will be there for a couple of days to prepare and of course give Paulo Sousa a chance to take a close look on what he got and what he needs for the next season. There is no secret that Sousa will prepare a team that will go for promotion. To manage that we all know that a number of changes must come in place.

Investors and a possible takeover
Leicester City CEO Lee Hoos denies the fact that the club can be taken over as early as this week. A supposed Indonesian investment group could be in line to take over, according to website foxes online. All the news about a possible takeover or more investors coming in, makes everyone excited and hopefully it can bring in more cash to buy more quality. We all know what Leicester fans would like, to get back to the Premier League and stay there for good.

Hot, cool and cold rumours
Leicester have so far added Tom Kennedy and Miguel Vitor to their squad. Both players looks certain to contribute next season. A number of names are now linked with City.

Barnsley midfielder Hugo Colace is a name that frequently turns up on a number of transfer rumour websites. Swansea midfielder Darren Pratley is another name. Both players are top quality at this level and would be great additions.

Andrea Orlandi is also linked with a move to Leicester. The Swansea winger is currently out of contract and a possible candidate to rejoin Sousa at Leicester.

Arsenal youngster Jay Simpson has also been linked with a move to City.

On the way out
Robbie Neilson could be on the way out. The former Hearts defender joined Leicester from Hearts last season and never managed to win a place in the team. There are rumours that a Norwegian club has made inquires about the player.

Nobby Solano will join Hull and the Peru international will be a new so called "old star" that makes a few appearances and dissapear from Leicester. Collymore, Keown, Cunningham and Freund will welcome Solano in their famous club.

Steve Howard, Matt Oakley and Nicky Adams are all players who have been linked with other clubs. Howard with Cardiff and Oakley with Peterborough. Adams looked close to a move to Brentford but would like to make a last impression on Paulo Sousa and hope for a new lease of life.

Injury report
Alexandar Tunchev is reported to still have a problem with his knee. The 29 year international looks certain to miss a number of months of the new season.

Former foxes on the run
Radostin Kishishev is back in England and turned out for Brighton in a friendly. He will try to find a new club after leaving Bulgarian club Litex Lovec.

Joe Mattock could be loaned out to Ipswich. Roy Keane is eager to sign up the former fox and England U.21 international. Neil Lennon who recently was appointed manager at Celtic has brought another former fox to Parkhead, Garry Parker is the one.

Kit manufacturer
Burrda will be City's kit manufacturer for the next three seasons. We will also add a new all yellow kit to the the black and blue. Who will be our shirt sponsor is still a "secret". We just have to wait and see.
