On the 3rd April 2012, days after Leicester City were beaten
1-0 at London Road by Peterborough United, manager Nigel Pearson spoke out
about the public bust up with striker Jermaine Beckford.
‘I wasn’t happy and I will deal with those sorts of
things internally”.
Almost 4 months later, it
seems this ‘sorting out’ is taking shape.
Beckford, who scored in
last nights behind closed doors friendly with York City at the King Power
Stadium, has apparently been told he has no future at the club and to look for
another employer.
Former club Leeds United,
where Beckford made his name, are reportedly ready with a bid of around £2
million.
The news, just like Beckford,
seems to split opinion at Leicester City.
Former captain Steve Walsh
tweeted on the news, “Beckford is 10 game a
season player! Right decision for me. We need 100% attitude and commitment to
Lcfc”
Some fans share this view
and clearly many others don’t.
Leicester supporter Andy
Winter commented on Facebook “Best striker we've got, but I suspect this is all about cutting
the wage bill”
Preparations for the new
season continue tonight with Leicester City traveling to Burton Albion in
another pre-season friendly.
