Kelly Has A Good Idea Of What The Club Needs
Today Rob Kelly gave City fans a well needed reality check. After seeing his side fall to a 2-0 loss at Southampton on Monday, Kelly realises his team need to put in a lot of work if their dream of Premier League football is to become reality any time soon.

With no money available, Kelly knows he will need to perform a miracle if he is to significantly improve the squad in time for the new season.

Talking to the Leicester Mercury, Kelly said:

'I wouldn't think there will be a load of ins and outs... We have got a good squad but not a big squad... I have got a good idea of what we need anyway.'

With this is mind, Kelly and the team know that any talk of a Play-Off challenge next season is pure speculation:

'It is a bit silly and foolish for people to think we will definitely be in the top six next season. Don't get me wrong, we want to finsish as high as we can, but let's be sensible.'

Meanwhile, earlier in the week, Kelly announced that Ray Graydon and assistant manager, Mike Stowell would not be with the club next season. When talking of Graydon, Kelly said:

'He did a great job for us and was a great help to Mike and myself when we needed it'
