As is Luis Hernandez

Congratulations Bochum! What a comeback. That Asano who came off the bench on the right wing is rapid btw!

What are the positives? We’ve lost our whole management team just as we get promoted to The Premier League as Champions. When has that happened before? How can that be positive? We are now favourites to be relegated with the bookies ahead of both Ipswich and Southampton. Enzo has absolutely shithoused us.

Foxes talk is no barometer

Moyes is an absolutely massive risk from a spectator’s perspective. His teams definitely don’t entertain. Ask West Ham fans.

It’s not the same as a normal job is it? Firstly as a manager your contract gets paid in full even if you aren’t good enough to do it. What normal job rewards failure and incompetence in that way? Enzo is now taking the whole vision that got him the job in the first place, the whole coaching team that helped him, with no handover time and no real time to have built the resilience into the club that could continue the vision. We’ll be starting from scratch in the most difficult league in the world and as such we are now definitely favourites to be relegated. He’s not even given it a year. I don’t remember the last manager that has shown such a lack of loyalty in the English game never mind at Leicester. Irrespective of whether you think he would’ve got us relegated, he shouldn’t be praised for making a decision that betrays the players he signed and coached and the fans that sang his name and expected a bit more loyalty than 11 & 1/2 months in The Championship.

Not sure how many companies with your very high standards there are that can afford Premier League sponsorship tbf. 😂

What you’ve outlined is not the decision making process of someone who truly backs themselves though. That’s a decision of someone who doubts they may be good enough to get another offer!

That was my point mate

Glad you know his thoughts. Doesn’t make much sense though as usually people use poll results to demonstrate a general consensus rather than knowingly not as you appear to suggest. Anyway who cares.

What did he mean then? My understanding was he suggested the poll reflected the opinion of Leicester fans at the time, otherwise why mention it?

You do realise that the VAST majority of Leicester fans wouldn’t even be aware of this Enzo out poll don’t you? Social media and reality are two very different things.

Fact is, he’s turned Brighton down and is staying at Ipswich. This will be his third season with the Tractor Boys. Maresca has given us one. I’d say committing to 3 years is loyal. Staying just for 1 season is definitely not.

Suddenly Soutts might be back in the picture at Leicester now Enzo is taking the step down to Chelsea. Enzo didn’t rate him but he’s so good in the air in both boxes and he’s a better ball player than he gets credit for.

McKenna has more sense than go to Chelsea. NO manager is a long term success there. 2 years at best, most last less than a year.

McKenna has shown loyalty. It does exist. I have no issue with being used as a stepping stone but after 1 season? Not having that, we should expect better as fans, I’m sure the players that have worked hard under him, players like Winksy will be surprised and disappointed. I agree with your Xmas prediction though!

Leaving after less than 12 months is not respecting the badge in any way. It’s a lack of respect and loyalty for the club that has given you a fabulous opportunity. He’s had a great season but if he leaves this quickly having remodelled LCFC as part of a supposed long term project he talked about then he goes in the same bin as McGhee and Megson!

It’s Chelsea, perhaps the worst of the lot of the snake 6 for how they run their club and how they deal with other teams. So irrespective of how I really liked Enzo last season, if he goes, I genuinely hope he and his team fail next season! Preferably spectacularly fail! 😂

Did they not appoint Potter and Lampard then?

We’ve had multiple players asset stripped by Chelsea and now potentially a manager and a coaching squad. We didn’t get Fofana to revolt against St Etienne, Chelsea very publicly courted him and thus encouraged his behaviour. Which club have used Luke Chelsea have used us over the last decade then?

I’ve been a Leicester fan my whole life and if I was in Enzo’s shoes I wouldn’t go there instantly. I certainly wouldn’t be drip feeding through Romano that I was ‘super keen.’ Have some class Enzo ffs. I’d expect a bit of loyalty considering he was plucked from a coaching role after failing badly in his first managerial role. If he does go, I hope he fails, mainly because other than 2015/16 Chelsea have classlessly asset stripped us, tapping up Chilwell mid season, encouraging Fofana to down tools and have generally lived up to all the negative characteristics that the big 6 get criticised for.

If Enzo is confident in his ability he wouldn’t be ‘super keen’ to go to Chelsea, He’d realise that he had a project at Leicester and he’d be super keen to finish that! Every manager that Chelsea’s owners appoint end up leaving acrimoniously after no more than a year, even if they win a major trophy like Tuchel.

I’d say Poch’s reputation hasn’t been enhanced by him taking over Chelsea. Same for Potter. The most memorable thing about Potter during his Chelsea time was his ‘glow up.’ His football reputation was at its peak just as he left Brighton and it dipped with his sacking and after what de Zerbi did with Potter’s squad of players at Brighton. The Chelsea job also pretty much ended Lampard’s career as a potential top level manager.

First of all I’ve been a massive fan of Enzo since day one. I’m desperate for him to stay. I think him potentially going to Chelsea after all of their own financial issues and terrible manager history is very disappointing but the silence from the Maresca camp is deafening. If he leaves then I hope the move fails tbh. With regards to the story, the word I used was ‘supposedly’ but you’d be naive if don’t think this factor wasn’t drip fed off the record from a Maresca source. Similar concerns are expressed in The Times and other sources. It’s pretty much everywhere with no Maresca denial of any links or any details.

We do have money. It’s the PSR that may prevent us from spending it!
