City
fans down at Filbert Street have e-mailed FFS to say that
they saw George Graham driving in there at 4.30pm this evening.
He
has always been in the frame for the job but still has his
outstanding spat with Spurs to sort out over his severance
pay from there. The court case comes up on monday, which would
not be the best way to start his new job with Leicester!
Can
he pip favourite Harry Redknapp to the job? Both have apparently
indicated their interest, but could we afford Graham?
So
what do we know about George apart from he likes a good defence
and we'd have to start out boring boring Leicester chants
again?
