I have never hated a Leicester City manager before. Disliked plenty but in all other managers we have had I could see a plan. All previous managers i've thought had 'earned' the chance to manage this great club. Gained experience elsewhere and been successful and therefore (some more than others) deserved the chance to manage us. What on earth the board saw in RVN i'll never know. And why on earth RVN ever thought he was good enough to manage us i'll also never know. I can't stand Ruud. I can't see any method in his thoughts. I can't make sense of his formulaic substitutions and the fact he picks Patson Daka in the starting 11 loses any slight respect or thought I had for the man. I have seen worse Leicester City teams in terms of players, but i've never seen one so poorly coached and so tactically useless. Ruud is completely out of his depth. That phrase gets thrown around but its never been more evident than it is watching RVN manage in the premier league. He absolutely, unequivocally and without doubt must not be our manager next season.

Looks like my ex's fanny

He really is as bad as everyone says he is. The biggest issue with this club is recruitment. its so so poor. Players like Daka are the reason we are in such a mess. Awful player, on a long contract, on massive money. Repeat throughout the team.

I can definitely see this working

Could be worse. I called my lad N’Golo

I think the owners are looking for a manager with the conviction to change things. Its clear we need a change. Personnel, style of play, tactics etc. But change is a difficult thing for people to handle and will only happen if the people required to change have confidence in the people making changes. Change requires believe, knowledge, character and communication. I think Puel has the first two qualities but not so much the second two. Would you be inspired to believe in change with Puel as your boss? We don't know what he's like behind closed doors but his mannerisms on the touchline during games isn't one of dynamism and to me doesn't get the response he needs to initiate change during 90 minutes let alone over the course of a season. You can only initiate change when people are willing and able. Clearly, presently our squad are neither so therefore you have to slow down your quest for change until you have the right personnel in place to make it work. His style of play should have been more precedent at the start of next season with new players in who can do what he's asking. No good manager would ask Danny Simpson to play as an attacking full back and no good manager would as Wes Morgan to be a ball playing defender. This is not the sign of good management. Big Sam can positively change a football club in a short space of time. Rafa too. Whether either of these would ever consider us is another thing but we need a PROVEN manager who has done what we need in the past. Puel won't be the man to succeed I am sure of it.

Usual Monday morning for me. *Checks 'do they mean us thread' *Gets wound up by some idiotic, uninteligent opposing fans *Checks Premier League table *Smiles uncontrolably and chills out. ​

Who even cares what Adrian Durham thinks? His opinions to me are about as valuable as my mate Tim's. Tim by the way is a scientologist and genuinely believes we are descendant from aliens and is the sort of guy who thinks the Matrix was a documentary. I tend not to worry what the crazies think of Leicester.

I often see a clubs history as a burden in some cases based on a clubs current position. For example when we were in League 1 because of our 'history' I was quite embarrassed to be there. It was a fall from grace relative to our clubs history. For me its always about the here and now. When we beat Villa did I care they used to be good? Nope. All i cared about is that we are/were better than them at the current moment in time. It must be awful being a Forest fan for example. Based on their history the club should never be where they are now. It's a fall from grace and therefore its hard to have pride in 'yeah but we used to be good line'. Gary Glitter and Jimmy Saville were pretty big in the 70s and 80s but you wouldn't be a member of their fan clubs now.

Only been to Hull once to watch Leicester play. Accidentally typed 'Hell' into my satnav. Still got there

To and put some tangible basis behind why i have reservations about him are; IMO Twice dragged out of position against Sunderland Two rash challenges Didn't seem to communicate well with others Widely recognised that he will receive more than his fair share of cards He cost £5.5 million If there is not a lower league centre half who is not better for similar or less money I'd be shocked. Quite happy to be proved wrong and I have every faith in the scouting system. Lets be honest Marcin is a similar type player except older and slower and I have grown to love him (Only because if there was ever a chance he had heard I didn't like him I don't think I'd ever be brave enough to walk around the city ever again).

Can we use ben Marshall's chant for Okazaki? Always enjoyed that and it fits

I think it's because you sound very condescending in your arguments. You use a confrontational language that sounds more akin to a solicitor rather than 'banter or debate with a mate'. it maybe unintentionally but you certainly rub people up the wrong way. there are ways and means of airing an opinion.

This is an immense illustration of a character using convoluted vocabulary to demonstrate one is more resourceful than one actually is. However, based on one's viewpoint of Mr Nigel Pearson's ability to manage a football club based on the evidence of a fine finishing position in the Premier League clearly you sir are a bit of a tw4t. Of course this is just my feeling toward the matter and in no way is a representation of this communities views as a whole. Although I would hasten to argue approximately 89.8%* of said community would concur with me. *Based on invented facts PS I have to say I respect your trolling :-)

This is laughable. Without question it's a team effort and I'm in no doubt that the team were responsible for the turnaround. However, your opinion on Nigel being 'bereft of ideas' can only be based on 4, possibly 5 games last season of which Leicester looked out of the games. It's a common opinion that even though we were losing matches and we were bottom of the league that the team were not completely outclassed tactically in almost any game we took part in. Granted Villa in the cup was awful. One game! In comparison the Spurs cup game was tactically brilliant. One game! In every other game the team were never tactically outclassed. Ultimately Nigel Pearson no matter how much you argue otherwise led this club to one of the greatest platforms it's ever been on and to call him tactically bereft after all the time he has not only been at Leicester but has been in football is clearly ridiculous and is certainly in a tiny minority of opinion.

Makes me smile how many criticise others for putting our team down when so many of our own fans were much more critical last season when we were bottom of the league. It's their job and really matters not what they think or say at this stage. However, it can be a lot more damaging when our own fans are ringing in phone ins and writing on the web criticising the team based on as much logic as these 'pundits' are using now.

Talksport chatting about us now. Usual stuff. Not sure why we have done what we have done as a club. Stuart Pearce thinks we will struggle.

Well if Richard Jolly says we are going to be 20th then it's really all over. Richard bl00dy Jolly

The main thing I miss from Filbert Street was the 'SCOREFLASH' Scoreboard. Used to get score updates during the game. The Main Stand would cheer when an interesting score came up and the away fans in the East Stand would wonder what on earth was going on as they couldn't see it or even knew it was there. Just random crowd noise to them .

Oh yeah they absolutely can't stand us. Which makes the reading that little bit sweeter Interesting debate they are having. What comes first the stadium or success? Would we be we are now if we were still in Filbert Street?

From the Forest forum. Have to say I enjoy reading the envious quotes from other fans. Keeps a perspective of how well we are doing and how 'the other half live'. I remember for so long being behind all of our local rivals but now we are such a good footing. It would take a massive overall from Forest and Cov to get anywhere near where we are currently and where we could potentially go. However, we are always only one crap manager/owner away from disaster. In Nigel/Top we trust
