Leicester City fans- fancy some time off work? If so, you might want to monitor this situation closely.
One Foxes supporter, with a particular admiration for Argentine midfielder Esteban Cambiasso, has made a valiant attempt to get time off work from his employer on religious grounds.
A tweet from @general_dawson revealed his ambitious plan…
I'm trying to convince HR at work that I'm entitled to have a day off for my beliefs in 'Cambiasso' an Argentinian religious group #lcfc 😂

To add a bit of depth to his brilliantly ridiculous request, Andy then posted a screenshot of his email.
Amazingly, this prompted a bit of research into Cambiassoism which unsurprisingly didn’t prove very fruitful.
So, despite such an ambitious plan, it does appear that it may just fall short of freeing up a day or two. But it has gained some support on Twitter…
@general_dawson if the HR people need proof that Cambiasso is a religion, here's some holy evidence #magic https://t.co/rFNvCleZCE

While we don’t approve of folk bunking off work for completely made up religious festivals, we can at least salute such an audacious attempt.
