Leicester promoted to Premier League
BBC.co.uk - 5 April 2014 Updated 19:03 GMT



Leicester City were promoted to the Premier League after a combination of results in the Championship on Saturday went in their favour.

City, who beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 on Friday, needed Queens Park Rangers to lose at Bournemouth and Derby to fail to win at Middlesbrough.

The Rams lost 1-0 while Rangers suffered a 2-1 defeat. It means Nigel Pearson's Leicester will line up in the top flight for the first time in 10 years next season.

"It's unexpected. I didn't think the results would go our way today," Pearson told BBC Radio Leicester.

"I think it's a relief for a lot of people. It's been a tough couple of years in the sense that we've been trying to get back into the top flight and it's never easy.

"We're in Shropshire at the moment and on the way over my wife and daughter wanted to listen to the radio and I said
'no'.

"They were texting each other in the car to keep each other
up to date.

"I found out when we arrived and it was rather nice. It's
been an interesting two or three hours."

The Foxes have earned their place in the Premier League with
six games of the season remaining having won 27 of their
40 games so far.

Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel said: "If feels great. It's an
amazing achievement. We are all very, very happy and it's a
great day for everyone at the club.

"What we wanted all along was promotion.

"It's a day for celebration. These type of things don't
happen very often, but there are still six games and we still
want to win the league so we have to keep working and
keep going.

"But obviously we will have a good night and celebrate and
get back to work on Monday morning."

Schmeichel, who joined City in 2011 but is out of contract in
the summer, was quick to praise Pearson and said he wanted
to sign a new contract.

"I can't speak highly enough of Nigel - I really can't," the Dane
said. "From day one he has been brilliant. He has his way of
doing things. He took a bit of time to change things around
and mould it to how he wanted it - and this season he has
got it exactly how he wanted.

"It just goes to show that he was spot on with his
decisions.

"I am so happy for everyone in the team and the whole
coaching staff. There are a lot of people behind the scenes
who don't get the credit.

"The Premier League is where I want to be - there is no
question. I enjoy playing at Leicester. At the moment is is not
really up to me but I hope to stay."

Other Leicester players - past and present - took to
Twitter to celebrate their promotion.

Forward Gary Taylor-Fletcher said: "We are Premier League,
say we are Premier League! Get in."

Ex-Leicester and England striker Gary Lineker, who scored
95 goals for the Foxes, tweeted: "Leicester City are
promoted to the Premier League. A sentence I've been
waiting to say for 10 years."

Pearson calls for focused minds as Foxes chase Championship title after promotion

Leicester manager Nigel Pearson has turned his attention to winning the Championship title rather than celebrating clinching promotion to the Barclays Premier League.

The Foxes' return to the top flight after a decade-long absence was sealed on Saturday following defeats for QPR and Derby.

But Pearson is focused on the next challenge - making sure his team maintain their nine-point cushion over second-placed Burnley at the top of the table in the remaining six matches and go on to be crowned champions.

'Everyone associated with the club deserved to enjoy it over the weekend, but it is back to work now. We want to win the title,' said Pearson, whose side face play-off hopefuls Brighton at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday night.

'To secure promotion with six games remaining is a great achievement, but we want to see the job through properly.

'We are back to work now and ready to focus on a tough game against a very good side.'

Pearson did briefly allow himself to look ahead to next season.

The 50-year-old believes that the bulk of the squad that has helped Leicester to secure a return to the Premier League for the first time since their relegation in 2004 can hold their own in the top flight.

'I think we have a lot of -players in this squad who are capable of making the step up, and I intend to keep the whole squad together,' he said.

'I am talking about the squad that is currently involved in the games. I will do everything I can to keep those players together and add to that to make us a team that can function when we get where we want to be.'

Dulu sih Leeds terkenal dengan banyak pemain mudanya yang berbakat, kalau sekarang seiring tidak berlaganya mereka di Premier League akhirnya jarang ada pemberitaan tentang Leeds di media ...

[Bloody "Devil" R3d]

Kalau nubie sebenernya kepengen bisa lihat Nott'm berlaga lagi di premier league, serasa dah lamaa bingit gk pernah promosi ke top division...

Alasannya, Nottingham Forest termasuk team ternama di Inggris Raya, pernah memiliki era keemasan, bahkan di Eropa ajang Piala Champions pada zamannya, jadi sayang ja kalau mereka gak muncul lagi ke permukaan
