City's Welsh international Robbie Savage has sent out an email plea to fans of Leicester in an attempt to stop some of the hatred directed at manager Peter Taylor.

In the email, sent from LCFC webmaster John Sanders account, Robbie explains that it is the players and not Peter Taylor who has let City's fans down and that "The gaffer" has taken alot of stick unfairly.

The email, delivered to all of the people registered on the official LCFC website, is reprinted below for you to view incase you are not a member of the site.

One thing FFS would like to know though is why there is a bit of code attached to the email that seems to do nothing? Very strange!

Let's get one thing straight ... all the players owe the manager big time.
We've got to repay the faith he has shown in us by putting in a quality performance at Arsenal on Saturday.

Our display against Bolton was simply not acceptable - and I include myself in that.

I have to say that this week has been one of the hardest during my time at the club.

The manager has taken a fair bit of stick ... unfairly I believe. I get on with the gaffer great.

He's looked after me and he is a great person who deserves better. I signed a new contract in the summer because I believe in him and I believe in the club.

These last few days in the wake of the Bolton match have been tough. There can be no excuses for our performance on the opening day of the season.

The manager picked what I believe to be the strongest team he had available to him.

Pre-season had gone great. Everyone was genuinely confident and we all felt capable of getting a result.

A lot has been said about systems but it didn't matter whether we played 4-4-2, 3-52 or even 9-1-0.

Once we crossed that line it was down to the players and the blame must be laid at our door.

We've been working hard on the training ground this week and now is the time for us to show that Bolton was a freak result.

Of course, we could hardly have picked a tougher place to visit than Arsenal. Even when we have been flying in recent years they have tended to bring us down to earth with a bump.

But the players can assure the fans and everyone that we will be giving it absolutely everything at Highbury.

We showed some great battling qualities against them at Filbert Street when we played with 10 men for an hour last season and earned a point in a 0-0 draw.

We have to show that same spirit resolve again at Highbury. And I believe we will.

After Highbury we have got a two-week break before our home game against Ipswich but I shall be on international duty with Wales.

On Sunday I will be playing in a charity golf day for Gary Lineker in Surrey. Gary rang me a couple of weeks ago to invite me to play in the tournament and I'm delighted to accept the invitation.

Form there, I will travel directly to Cardiff to join up with the Welsh international squad.

We play Armenia at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday and then jet out to Oslo to face Norway in another World Cup qualifier.

We are not due to fly back until Thursday so I won't be back at the club until the day before that Ipswich game.

Right now, though, the only thing on my mind is Arsenal. And I can promise all our supporters that we will do everything possible to set the record straight.

Take Care

Robbie
