Some sort of "loan" deal with Warnock and Torquay until the end of the season would be absolutely perfect, as part of the deal we can create a partnership to send youth players there for the future.

We were on a knife-edge this season, and the cost of messing it up was massive. At the start of January we were within touching distance of fluking the playoffs which would have potentially given us just enough to save the club financially, providing if we fluked promotion we then followed a coherent plan to continue to get rid of the 50k+ earners and bring in a summers worth of young talent for the prem, we could then afford relegation and be on a solid financial footing. The flip side to that is where we are now, we stay down, and still struggle with big earners on the books that we cannot afford to mutually cancel deals with, cannot afford to bring in the players we need, and essentially are forced into a 3-4 year rebuild with minimal spending. Or the worst case scenario, we go down with a wimper and potentially go bankrupt. We were 4 points from saving the club, but we persisted with MC and now we are facing ruin. I'd love to see Hassenhuttl come in because he's got a reputation for not taking any nonsense from players and forcing his views, but as every day and each loss passes, I'm beginning to think we need to be in contact with NP and just pray his health can sustain an interim role with a lovely office waiting for him upstairs at the end of the season.

Gun to head, Marinakis or Top? Ruthlessly aggressive arguably to the detriment of the club, or complete indecisiveness to the detriment of the club.

Hopefully people will get this stupid idea of their head now. He is at very best an assistant right now, who knows if he's even that. More than happy to have him as a coach, but right now he's nowhere near enough.

Every passing week we move further away from needing the "right manager" and move into the "we need a firefighter", right now, Warnock on a short loan style deal with Torquay seems sensible. Him and Lascelles need to be commanding that dressing room. I can't imagine a scenario where King went in there and rocketed them.

Give him the armband. He's the best defender we have by a country mile, and he was actually organising the defence and vocal, he did the job Pereira has failed to do.

Ffs, just contact Torquay and beg them to loan us Warnock for a few months. In the space of a month, we've gone from being 4 points off the playoffs to collapsing into League 1, with some of the most stupid players I've seen wear a football shirt. Bring in Warnock, give Lascelles the captain's armband and let them both sort this mess out before it's too late.

Can we convince Torquay to loan Warnock to us until the end of the season?

I was expecting 6 points after an appeal, we should appeal as I think we can make a clear argument that we have been actively hurting ourselves as a club over the last 4-5 seasons trying to get the wage budget down to comply, we have made the odd blunder along the way with the likes of Winks/Vestergaard, but on the whole we have pretty much destroyed ourselves trying to comply.

Very very good signing if he can stay fit. Called for us to sign him on multiple occasions in the past when we were in the prem, the sort of signing that could potentially take us up multiple levels if he can command the dressing room. One of the first names on the teamsheet for me.

Hopefully, Monga stays, but likely won't, will be wasted here. He has had way too much pressure put onto his shoulders, though. People were talking about him being an 80-100m player in the future, talks of Barca and Real Madrid, but he's struggled to have an impact at Leicester City in half of his appearances. Raw talent is there, the ceiling is massive, but the overhype can't be doing him any good if he reads the news/fans' opinions on social media.

I'd take Gracia.

Marti compounded the problems.

3 weeks ago, we were still only 4 points off the playoff spots, with a 6-point deduction that put us 10 points off the playoffs with half of the season to play, and a team with more than enough individuals to compete with the likes of bloody Wrexham. I first started to talk about Marti being a bust around game 6 when it was obvious to me that we were entering the "when it clicks we will be fine" territory, with absolutely zero evidence that Marti knew how to make it click, but that was too early to properly call for the guy to lose his job as we were sat in about 4th or something, by game 10 it was blindly obvious this guy was a dud, yet again, King Power have done what they do best and cling on out of pure copium, desperately hoping we suddenly go on a massive run of wins. Reality doesn't work that way. If we had sacked Marti just 4 weeks ago, we could genuinely now be talking about a Top 6 push, unlikely? Sure, but more than possible given how inconsistent this league is. Once again, this incompetent owner and incompetent board leave it too late, and now we face a 15-point mountain to climb if we get a 6-point deduction, and we now face potentially years in this division. This season was the absolute best chance we had of saving the club's finances. My love for this sport in general is waning, and my love for LCFC is declining rapidly alongside it. I watch sport to be entertained, I haven't been consistently entertained since Rodgers first 18 months in charge almost 6 years ago.

Yeah I cannot see it happening personally. I'm not sure I want it to happen, but if it did i've no doubt it's a better position than we sit in this morning. Huge risk for him, but if he did come in and immediately turn us around, that would give him a huge boost for his next role in the summer which could easily be a team like Spurs.

Oh Christ, we'd end up with Balague again, wouldn't we? Fold the club.

Eugh, trying to be realistic here, if we managed to get Enzo in our current position it's a huge coup. If it's a multi year deal and he actually wants to stay here to rebuild, then I think we have to snap his arm off to save the club. The recruitment would no doubt massively improve and we could probably trust him with the limited funds we have at this level, the funds themselves would limit his capacity to spend big. But by god I am not looking forward to sideways ball again, especially with a squad so devoid of direction, talent and attitude. This is a very different squad to the one he left. He's the absolute best we could do in terms of an immediate solution, but I just cannot get excited by the idea of watching his football again.

Is he a monumental improvement to our situation? Yes. Do I want to watch his football? Hell no.

I will not watch this club if Martin is announced. I cannot deal with sideways ball a second longer. If Martin is announced I’ll just watch Bournemouth until we wake up.

Hassenhuttl IN.

I don’t think he’s ready to pull us out of this mess, we need to bring in a foundation builder manager for him to work under, so far the 2 managers he’s worked under have been a catastrophe. Give King time as the assistant to a proper football manager, not a head coach. Nobody was expecting a massive turnaround today, but at the very least he needed to get them fired up for the game, on that we have failed once again. Bring a manager in ASAP and prime King to take over in a couple of seasons.

Thought it was a 3pm kick off today. I think the players did too. I do not want a nice manager. I want a manager who will walk in and headbutt someone. Pearson or Hassenhuttl MUST happen.

Boom. £1.7m in wages saved + the £5.64 we sold him for. Winks next.

Martin Jol! Incredibly underrated manager imo. Wanted us to go in for him a couple of times in the past.

We just need a big earner out of the door!
