Paninistickers

I was the other way around. I liked his work with us, albeit mystified by his selection decisions in cup games. Yet, I have heard from a good source that the dressing room were totally bemused by him. He'd walk in to the dressing room after a defeat looking at stats and mumbles 'well played'. That was the extent of a debrief. A very contradictory and enigmatic reign.

Hardly read the thread but I'd be surprised if there's spite. Most are ambivalent right? Or maybe even slightly pleased. It's the first - maybe only - managerial change I've known following City where it suits all parties. He's done well and so have we.

Good thing apart from if they get, say, 5% of the vote they get one or two seats instead of the 15-20 they deserve. With an absolute passion I despise the fptp system designed only for two parties.

He had a strange second half to the season. He absolutely won us games prior to Xmas. Mid second half game changing saves at Swansea away after a Ricardo howler at 1-1 .... Blackburn away at 1-1. Cov at home when Hadji went 1 on 1 to out them into an unassailable two goal lead. But those big big saves seemed to dry up after January

He did his job. He'll be fondly remembered. Left while the going was.good. We get 8m for a manager that we probably had a 75% chance of sacking next season Everyone wins.

Agree. As you point out, not as a RB tho..Centre mid in a two ...or right.attscking mid (Wilf role)

Some great points there. JJ at RB and VK at overlapping LB is a delicious thought. Fatawu can tuck in when JJ goes forward. Im relishing a.conventional system that plays to our strengths. Personally, I'd still.lead with Vesty at the back and look to upgrade on Wout Faes. Still think a double pivot of Hamza (energy, snap and recovery runs) and Winks (recycling and positioning) could do a very respectable job. Edit. Basically,.I can't wait to.move.on from Enzo's system. I think it's spent. Edit edit. Bizarre view of the night. I'd cash in on Hermansen and go with Stolarcyk.

😂 On that basis we need to be worried about Pardew, Woy and Big Sam

Helluva a gamble at PL level, but Danny Roehl at Sheffield Wednesday did an insane job for six months to turn that shower of shite around

Agree. Though strangely it should work the other way. 100k a year to 130k a year is helluva difference back in the 80s. Yet they didn't move as much as a 21st century PL player already set up for life yet chooses 11m a year over 10m a year.

Hundreds. If not thousands.

It's an odd one. Chelsea buy a left back for 50 odd million every summer. Sometimes two. All for a manager that despises full backs

Just a general comment. Players don't really give a shit about managerial, or player, transfers. They'll be fine. It's a selfish business is football. The likes of Winks, KDH, Vesty etc al, who've all benefitted under Enzo, won't bat an eyelid.

Still think me and Soulsby are right. But then I'm an outlier. I like his cycle lanes and train station plans too.

No plan could surely involve turfing out a permanent trader Is there that many? Not that I got to the market much (as it's dreadful) but can't be more than 30 traders surely. For me, they'll be better branded as boutiquey homestead stalls alongside the independents of silver street and the arcades. It's a natural fit. And the city gets a potentially very impressive open piazza to boot. I can see only upsides

This Soulsby idea with the market. I know the knee jerkers in the Mercury will slag anything he does, but he's got this bang on right. We have a potential piazza where market place is and, using one stone for two crows, he can shift the market towards the boutiquey St Martin's (and more artisan food hall) and give the down-at-heel market a huge uplift Credit where it's due. I hope he sees it through and doesn't bow down to the usual Leicester naysaying

I wanted him sacked. And when we went up, I was hoping he'd leave one way or another. Legacy intact. All leave as friends. Was a good season for both parties. We are both happier apart than together. Wins all round

He was mugged off by a quarter of the Division's managers who each had players who wouldn't event make our bench. If you combined the entire starting xi of Millwall, Plymouth, Bristol, Blackburn ....they'd have around 2 players max in our team. The rest wouldn't even .Ake our bench. Yet each manager easily outfoxed Enzo. This is an extraordinary bit of luck for our football club. 10m for a.man who'd we'd have been paying off in October.

Bearing in mind we might get 10m compo, if we can .move on Souttar (needs to be 12m for profit on amortisation) and Kristensen (18m) and Faes (15m) that raises us 20m or so clear profit and a chance to keep KDH Then we buy three or four new players after the June 30 accounts deadline

Like they have any reason to! They had a rivalry back in the mid 70s which, assuming you were 10 years old in 1974 to remember that rivalry, you'd now have to be 60 to recall it. I'm not sure that anti Derby post will be of much consolation to Leeds tho!

Quack quack ooops.

Licensed the name out years ago. I think the only original (Wayne) Linekers was Tenerife playas Americas.. Money making machine. Fair play

Union in Aylestone. That has city stuff painted on the exterior

Very true. However, you then need to rely on real talent. There's a million people who want to talk football for a living. The cream rises to the top. His best bet is probs a podcast / YouTube spouting nonsense

It does make you wonder how he will now make a living. It's not as if he's a trained broadcast journalist. He blagged it.
