He makes a fair point. JJ has clearly been good. El Khannouss, Fatawu, Hermansen. Plus some decent fees recently for McAteer, Coady, Justin, Ndidi. Yes we've made bad transfers as well but just acting like a nihilistic teenager about everything the club does is ****ing boring.

I'm so naively optimistic I'm really excited about these signings. 2 of whom I'd never heard of last week (Divine Mukasa, Whisper Richards) 1 of whom I vaguely knew the name of (Joe Aribo) 1 of whom I wouldn't have been shocked to find out was retired (Jamaal Lascelles) 😂

True, but still puts him in the shop window at a place he's succeeded previously.

Can't say I know anything about him but we need an extra body in midfield. The noise coming from Southampton fans is worrying, but I'm glad we're at least getting somebody in.

Of all the names linked, this is comfortably the one I want done most. Relegation threatened teams need to build from the back and Hermansen is a massive upgrade on Stolarczyk. West Ham are probably desperate to get rid and he's probably desperate to be in the shop window / to get minutes to get in the Denmark squad for the World Cup.

Bumping this thread because Vardy (or whoever runs his social media account...) likes a post on Instagram Some of our fans treat him like an ex girlfriend they can't get over...

I can't see it happening but obviously if he's mad enough to come here we should get him in. Would solve the "we've got no good fit full backs" problem as one would spend half the game in midfield while the other was basically a centre back Every player who he had before could feasibly step up massively from what we're currently seeing. Ricardo, Veste, Winks, Mavididi and Fatawu were all team of the year candidates now playing as also-rans. I think he got much more out of duffers like Choudhury and Daka too. It goes without saying he's tactically better than what we've had since, but more than that he seems to control locker rooms and knows how to handle big egos.

If he can get fit I'd be very happy with this. We need leadership and somebody to organise the defence. However, I don't really trust we'll get him fit or keep him fit, so this feels more like a Conor Coady signing than a Robert Huth.

Spoke to a Man City fan yesterday who said there's a lot of hype around Musaka. Man City youth academy seems to churn out good players, so it's as safe a bet as a teenage loan can be really!

It feels unlikely but worth asking the question. Clearly was well thought of while here and might have a bit of guilt for leaving the way he did. Should be quick enough to get an answer if he doesn't fancy it, and then we need to move onto the next candidate asap!

Leicester, Wigan, Portsmouth and now Palace. Non-"big six" tams winning the FA Cup unlocks a curse.

Maybe it's nostalgia but seems like there are loads of really good business in there (until the helicopter crash, at least). Strikers alone: Kane, Kramaric, Wood, Yakubu, Phillips...! This team would win the league at a canter: Schwarzer Bruma Morgan Huth Van Arnholt Mahrez Tielemans Ndidi Gray Kramaric Kane Even a second string would probably batter our current XI Ricardo Woyo Bamba Wague Mee Marshall Drinkwater Amartey Tete Wood Yakubu

They say good things come in threes... Faes out, Cifuentes out, Soumare out. It would be nice if we could spend some of the fortune saved, but I genuinely think our dressing room, team and training will be a better place just taking those elements out.

Give it a couple of years and it may well be whoever is unsuccessful in the current bids for Sheffield Wednesday...

Does Matt Mills count? Matt Elliott's son-in-law. Though I think they're divorced now. Maybe he's Gary Mills' nephew as well. Who knows.

They hired him for Leuven... Quote from the appointment Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, chief executive of King Power International, added: "Nigel is an incredibly good manager with a wealth of knowledge, good people skills and a strong winner's mentality. He will put OHL on track for the next few years."

Has Top definitely gone? I know his plane has left, but that doesn't necessarily mean he was on board.

Signed for Sevilla after a brief spell at Marseille. 6 goals in his last 59 games. Must have some agent.

He'd be great. Proven firefighter at Wolves last year, plus a whole lot more.

I had this thought when Coleman got mentioned. Similar to Preki and Jesse Marsch (who we'd take in a heartbeat now...!).

I'd like it in the summer - not mid-season into a relegation fight with a burning dressing room. The last two managers have been prospects who drowned in the job. Let's get some experience in the dugout until the summer - then go for a longer-term option like Skubala.

I'm by no means a massive fan of Gary Rowett () but he's been a top half Championship manager for the last decade. Improved Brum, Millwall and Derby loads. His career is basically "takes over a basket case, stabilises them, then the club looks for somebody sexier". We could do a lot worse than have somebody with that experience as an interim. FWIW Oxford are a League One club with mental directors. Apparently Rowett is stubborn and stood up to them. Again, not something that would be bad at Leicester...!

I live in Oxford, know lots of Oxford United fans who really rated him and didn't want him sacked. They were in a worse state than us last season when he came in and he comfortably kept them up. Know how to firefight and knows the Championship inside out.

As a summer appointment maybe, but we're in a crisis and we need somebody who has experience dragging a club out of one. And quickly.
