Leicester City defender Matt Mills to complete switch to Bolton
Defender Matt Mills' loan switch to Bolton should be completed next week after Leicester City agreed terms with the Trotters.
As revealed in the Mercury on Tuesday, Bolton boss Owen Coyle has swooped to end Mills' one-year stay at the King Power Stadium, and his season-long loan should become permanent next summer.

City signed Mills last summer from Reading in a deal that was potentially worth nearly £5m, but he fell out of favour under manager Nigel Pearson and did not feature during the closing stages of the season.
Former City assistant boss Derek Fazackerley, who was with City when Sven-Goran Eriksson signed Mills, is backing the defender to be a success at Bolton.
"It's up to Matt now if he gets the chance at Bolton," he said.
"It will be a big season for him because his time at Leicester certainly didn't work out the way he intended.
"I think his performances were quite fragmented. He suffered a little bit for confidence but, by the time I left the club, he was looking back to his best form.
"Nevertheless, he's strong, experienced and is the kind of player you need around in this division."

You are a dumb old fart really you are. I never mentioned anything about the transfer market, or Harry in my post.
I seriously think you must have an advanced state of dementia As FF1 says and it's very, very, true, for all your purchases you have MasterCard but for sheer comedy on a daily basis we have scatterbrain. ha ha ha!!
You mention Harry Scatterbrain, well believe you me.Harry would have forgotten more about managing a football club, than Pearson knows..”

“Lastly, the official transfer season for contracted players begins on JULY 1st. Someone tell Norman09. Before then only freed and otherwise out-of-contract players move. Even that fact gets thrown at Nigel by the ignorant. I am SURE, Norman, Nigel has been sweating blood to fill your every need and will be both signing and transferring players in JULY. (He did steal a march on Hull, while they were between managers, to sign de Lait and James) I'm sure as a real City fan you'd like to give him credit for that. Hull now are hoping for a couple of 19yr olds on loan. And Nigel won't be signing 35yr.olds on two year contracts. Young and hungry, perhaps plus Shelvey.”

“How many games has 'Arry won since his 'heart attack'? What chairman would put his faith in a red-faced 63yr'old who'd had a heart problem? It's a young man's game, Norman, unless you've got 70,000 crowds so you can sign anyone you want. That's why Spurs sacked Harry. Wonderful 'geezer', hope he enjoys retirement amusing us all on TV. And I suspect 'Arry has more taxing problems to come. Ludicrous idea, Norman. Even the F.A. went for a Steady Eddie when the ship foundered.”

“According to today's BOLTON NEWS, there's a hold-up to Mills 'loan' as he wants an 'exit-fee' from City. For some strange reason City believe they've paid enough to and for Mills, So the deal is in limbo. How can you pay an 'exit-fee' on a loan deal? He'll be wanting a loyalty payment next. City and Bolton have reached agreement. Mills remains the problem. I predict a Sunday paper story from him when he does go. Light your barbecue with it.”

Not gloating at all, I was just amazed that the Irish team didn't turn up. Not comparing it with football either. The Irish let 8 tries in. I really felt for them I really did. But the ref can't end the game it has to run it's full time.
On topic
Who was in charge at the City when the trees gave us a hiding 5-1? I think was the scoreline. I know Sousa was at the helm when we let 6 in at Portsmouth. The Jury is out on Pearson. We will know in the first month if we are any good, and going to make a challenge in this division. With the squad HE has assembled, because if he doesn't he will be gone.
I don't think the owners will take much more of the likes of last season. They have shelled out enough already. (it must be in the millions of pounds) I don't like to see my club exploited by a manager with gun slingers eyes, picking up a million quid a season and producing cra@ppy footy. If the truth was known Rod, neither would you. Happy days!!”

“dont like one sided games norm, i think when the score gets 5 tries in rugby or 5 goals clear in football the match should be stopped , the points awarded and the shamed team allowed to go home and lick their wounds . at least if this system was used , us leicester fans would never get an early bath cus i cant remember a pearson side being licked by 5 clear goals because of the work ethic he installs , even the times we did let 5 in against foest and chelski, we managed to score”

“Of topic
Watched the All Blacks give Ireland a good thumping on Sat night 7.30pm NZ time. Not to many Irish eyes were smiling in the crowd at the Waikato stadium. 60--0... Yet the week before they should have beaten the Blacks for the first time in 108 years. O' Driscall was embarrassed to say the least.”

I'm glad you cracked a smile out of the water boy comment, Just when is the messiah going to assemble a competitive squad for us? He seems to be taking his time about things. Whilst everyone is picking the meat of the bone, Pearson will be left picking maggots of it if he doesn't pull finger.
I can only say to Millsy it's a crying shame he got the cold shoulder from Pearson. I hope he slots in at Bolton, and I wish him all the very best. As I did to Sol Bamba. Any player (good or bad) who has pulled the foxes shirt on deserves at least respect from us the supporters. As will Pearson when it's his time to leave.
Until then we will just have to wait, to see, what other players he drags in I guess.”

“Watching Italy v England tonight, it drives home the fact that
You can have 11 honest hard working players, who will wear themselves out chasing for 120 minutes, but you just need that touch of class and luck to win
Lets keep what class we have got left and buy in what we need to make us the favourite to win every game. If we win 80% of our matches we will go up
Good luck NP now build us the team we need to get us over the finishing line first”

“Mills couldnt find a blue shirt when passing out of defence,most went out of play or to the opposition ,big boot man,lost the ball in vital tackles concedeing goals.How many times did we all moan about him ? Most supporters have rose tinted glasses and very short memories,BUT I must admit that does help supporting City.I hope Mills does the kind of job he did for us for bolton,that will be one less team to worry about.UP THE CITY.”
