Surely the answer is a bigger release Clause in the Contract would help. Though a lot of it has to do with how the Club support the Manager. That can be a difficult balancing act if they dont talk regularly.

Yes also true, But we're in need of some high level of Skill like Facundo. Ut'd have plenty of top talent just waiting for a chance. Remember Pearson bringing in Drinkwaterwater and Matty James.

Carsley has a much better pedigree than some names mentioned. Improved every team he worked for, So clearly a good Coach. A winner with the England under 21s which is what got him the Senior job albeit tempory. Again qualified as top of the group. Clearly looking for a chance to show what he can do.

Ruud would also be in a great position for loaning a few of the UTD academy players.

Pearson as DOF would be a brilliant appointment. He knows the club well but more importantly he has a proven record of building Clubs from the ground up. Has the contacts within the game to work through finding the right people to fill the right jobs as we continue to move forward. Lets get it sone.

Sad to lose anothe Leicester legend. RIP.

I wasn't aware of him until I read a little about him. He seems to be a top Coach and very young also at 29 yrs. He may be a bit early and too left field in this appointment as we have to get it right. But cerainly looks like a future top Manager in the making.

Or you make the release clause so high to put Clubs off. If he really wants the job he'll take it. He's a risk but I think it's one worth taking given the prestige he'd bring to the Club. He's been Coaching for 10 years now and worked with some of the best, So he must have learned a lot. Imagine him and Vardy Coaching the young Strikers coming through.

Everyone has their own favourites but looking back as far as 1960 this is my list. 1. Pearson I'd put Pearson first because he was the catalyst for everything good that came after the takeover. Even though I don't think he himself would have won the league with the same squad. Also because of the great escape I thought we were so unlucky to be in that position that season. We hit the Woodwork 11 times that season I think. 2 Ranieri He was a bit of loveable Charlatan. He had the good sense to realise what he had inherited and just needed to nourish it by his cajoling methods of the Players and talking down our success. 3 Enzo Because he's the greatest Coach I've seen in my 50 years in the game. Plus he delivered what he was asked to do. Win Promotion. 4 O Neill He brought in some great talent during his stay which won a few trophies and his passion for the game. He gave Fans belief. 5. Rogers First 2 years great, With a Cup win most thought we'd never see after losing the 69 Final when we were favourites and lost. But a Narcissistic Mercenary at heart. 6. Gillies In the 60s Gillies signed some great players and managed to take us to two FA Cup Finals. Something I'd never witnessed before. 7. Puel Who I thought got a raw deal from the Club but did bring in some real talent. 8. Armfield A charming old school Manager who knew his Football. 9. Little Done a decent job while here, leaving aside he jumped ship to join Villa. 10. Kelly Who I thought done a decent job at a very difficult time. Saving us from relegation to league one. And had us mid table with no money to spend before being sacked. The most disappointing were Taylor who wasted a fortune and Bassett who I thought would do better after his heroics at Wimbledon.

I just could'nt take his Bullshit drivel with no passion or emotion for the game.

He 's a poor imitation of Enzo. He proved that at Chelsea. Look at the job Enzo has done here in such a short time and then repeated it at Chelsea. He's an elite Coach who will take Chelsea back to the top.

If Southgate comes here I'm finished. I would'nt tolerate that incompetent Clown.

Ben Dawson is taking training until someone is appointed.

It seems the chat before hand and the meeting with the players after the game convinced Top to act.

But not with the same level of experience. Carsley was a decent player and an International player. He won the under 21s European title in his first season and done ok with the Senior appointment. He strikes me as a possible great manager like most of the best managers who never quite reached the top as a player. Ruud could be a risk. Does he come in with the Keane attitude, I'm it and your shit or does he reset himself mentalily in that he has to prove himself all over again.

Why so, He has a proven pedigree of working and developing young players and has done ok with the England job. He'd cost less than others and would come with no baggage.

I said VK wasn't good enough when we signed him but many on here thought I didn't know waht I was talking about. However, I'd say he's the one player I'll attribute to Cooper improving somewhat this season. Bad as it is I feel the defense will improve as a new structure is employed by the new Manager. But we do need new signings.

That's quite easy to understand. After winning the Cup they believed Rogers knew what he was doing. It's the time old problem of do you back the Manager or not. After turning around our fortunes and winning the Cup they decided to back him. They allowed him to spend 200 million on mostly poor players. That's a receipe for disaster for Clubs our size. It's reasonable for the Club to assume Rogers would bring in more quality after his early success and convinced the Club things would work out ok. Of course we know it didn't. Clubs are damned if they do and damned if they don't support the manager. Rogers screwed us over big time, I would'nt blame the club in anyway for that.

Some reports suggesting we'll have an appointment before Brentford. I just hope we dont rush it and take the time to get the right Man. My choice would be Carsley or Ruud. I think they would both bring the energy neccessary to the job. Cooper is more of a slow burner. Give him time and he'll get it right. But we don't really have a lot of time. We need results and quickly, a couple before January would help. Then a few out and 1 or 2 in in January would help. Things are looking up lets enjoy the recovery.

I feel sorry for the Club because they were blindsided by Enzo's departure to Chelsea. With the season 2 weeks away they were paniced into appointing someone. Cooper was never near the right appointment. Now I hope they either have somone lined up to take over or take there time to make the right appointment. Even if that means placing somone of the senior players temporily in charge. People like Vardy, Coady, Vesty have been around long enough to know whats required. The most important thing now is to get the Appointment right.

We've got to get back to preventing Goals As clean sheets make points. It's going to be difficult, But it is a winnable game if we're properly up for it. Mads Coady Vesty Okoli VK NDiddi Facundo Skipp El Kanousse Vardy Mavadidi

I understand the thinking, But you have to get the quality right also. I'm think of the like of Huth, Evans, Cottee, Ferdinand, etc. proven quality. Out of this years signings above Ayew and Reid are the only 2 with real prem experience. Buonanotte has real qualities but again we should have agreed a purchase price if we wanted to buy him. ( Maybe they tried. ) Skipp is only starting out on his career but we paid way too much for him. Eduardo could be an Asset but I feel he gave up on the game years ago and is only in it for the money. We should send him back. I've said it before the right Manager is where you first spend the money, Get that right and everything else slowly falls into place. We really do need someone who knows players and the game at the Top, Otherwise we'll fiddle around for years hoping to get lucky.

What's also difficult to understand with the history of Defending the Italians have, How he so poor with the basics. I still can't understand how he's an International either. The Italain league standard must have really dropped of a cliff. However we're stuck with him and I feel he can get better.

So I'll put it another way. What does he excel at. ?

Top certainly does'nt know how to run a Club. But it's unfair to compare him to Vichai. Vichai owned KP. He could click his fingers and things happened. Things changed dramaticly after the accident. Top is Chairman though answerable to the Board. A Board that have little connection or interest in Football other than supporting Vichai's wishes. The mistake Top made was trusting Rogers too much which started our decline because the Board rightly cut off the money with the poor signings he made. He got his replacement right in appointing Enzo, Sadly he was poached from us and Cooper was a last minute panic choice. Now we're back to rock bottom and need someone to guide us in the right direction. Who better than the likes of Pearson, even in a consultancy role in helping choosing the next team to take us forward again. The next appointment is crucial otherwise we could be set back for a decade.
