MON Posted 25 October 2004 Share Posted 25 October 2004 Lee - wants to manage Leicester Former Wolves and Walsall boss Colin Lee has applied for the Leicester manager's job.Lee had a spell with the Foxes as first-team coach under Mark McGhee and would relish a role at City, who have been in the charge of caretaker boss Dave Bassett since Micky Adams resigned two weeks ago. The 48-year-old, who has also been linked with the Shrewsbury job, has been out of work since leaving Walsall in April, and said: "I have applied for the Leicester job. "I would be interested in going back there whether as manager or a coaching job, I've got both strings to my bow. "That would be a great opportunity for me but if that doesn't work out then I'm keeping my options open." He would be a good coach for a younger inexperienced manager, but why did he leave walsall, i have forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 25 October 2004 Share Posted 25 October 2004 Shocking, he's been here before with McGhoo if you didn't know.Shocking record as a manager, don't come near our club please. 29135[/snapback] Agree quote; "I would be interested in going back there whether as manager or a coaching job" Of course you would so would I and any other out of work football nobody looking for a well paid job in football. Message to all those football failures, never has beens, management nonentities don't bother going public about your interest in our club, if you were a serious contender you wouldn't be talking to the papars about wanting the job - Oh and by the way that applies to you Harry & Howie.

King Kyle lcfc Posted 25 October 2004 Share Posted 25 October 2004 it seems to me that alot of the mangers being talked about would be a backwards step fom Adams escpecially the ex city rejects who were either shite or shat on us e.g Lee, Mcghee, Gregory, Little bassett etc Thay should let basset have it till the end of the season and bide their tim till someone like megson looses his job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anish Posted 25 October 2004 Share Posted 25 October 2004 People keep saying he's done feck all as manager etc - fair enough, but then that applies to people like Gary Mac, Stuart Pearce, Mike Newell etc. At least be consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is true that all have done little, but people will take a gamble on the bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMR Posted 25 October 2004 Share Posted 25 October 2004 It is extremely rare for any manager who has publicly said he has applied for the job to be given it, its usually just to alert other clubs as to their availability, they know they wont get the job they applied for. The only exceptance to this is when a caretaker manager publicly says they want it full time, sometimes they get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
