Fans Cautiously Optimistic

Last updated : 07 July 2004 By Graeme Smith
In the biggest ever response to a Foxes Mad poll, 33% said that the Foxes would be promoted, provided the right players were brought in, 11% said we'd make the play offs, and a further 11% said we would definitely be promoted.

Even the bookies agree this year, and have Leicester City has 3rd favourites for promotion behind West Ham and Wolves. There are several strong teams in the 'Championship' league this year, and Leicester will have to perform at a consistently high level to achieve automatic promotion. This is why Micky Adams does need to strengthen his squad further.

It has been reported today that the Jason McAteer transfer may not be off, as has been suggested in recent days. His agent has reportedly said that he still hopes McAteer becomes a City player.
