Yeah sorry I’ll not support the appointment of a poor average manager. They sacked managers because they keep getting them wrong. So no, you should not get behind any decisions that will be yet another mistake and end up in a sacking.

We now know we are looking at Rohl (R Dorset) it would seem things may at least be happening Wednesday’s side but there is no guarantee that it makes it any easier to land him. But the club shouldn’t just give up if honestly this whole inaction is based around getting Rohl. However if it isn’t and owner and director went on their jollies, while doing zilch, we’re bang in trouble. If we get Rohl I’ll get behind them in difficult circumstances (of their own making) they got the right man, if they got anyone other than Dyche I think I’ll probably never get another season ticket until KP have gone. Think it’s a bit of a sliding doors moment for KP’s time at the club but I don’t believe it gets any better.

Think Sheffield Wednesday will announce Pedersen as manager shortly, they all seem adamant this is the case. Will this finally allow us to sort Rohl out. Probably not. If we don’t go for him after all this time, wait a little more, our board just empathises how incompetent they are to have no plan, half hearted pre season and end up with the least appealing option of O’Neil.

Some seemed overly confident we’d be there around the playoffs, not saying it won’t happen but after the likely sell off of some of our assets we’re more than likely a hell of a lot weaker than perhaps 4 or 5 teams. Birmingham, Coventry, Sheffield United, Southampton, Ipswich and Wrexham will have momentum at the very least. We’re in the dark about most things and who knows how competitive that team will be. But hopefully some on here can see as other teams build strong squads looking better prepared as the weeks go on that their expectations are brought a few notches. It’s not beyond the realms that the club magically pull something out of their ass and for instance get Rohl in and keep Bilal, then I’d sit up and think maybe we’re going for it. As the weeks drag on and we’re not doing anything and see teams like Brum make these signings we haven’t got a chance, they’re on the up and have momentum - we’ve still go Faes and Daka.

Some are pretty delusional on there so I wouldn’t take that as he’ll suddenly stay as it’s being discussed on their forum. One discussion involves whether the new owners will redevelop Hillsborough or build a new stadium and host internationals, some seem to be getting overly optimistic. They haven’t even got any pre season games booked. Having said that I think Top will be wowed by a Wasserman master class and opt for Wilder.

Rohl may be buying out of his contract directly, which for both managers and players are now allowed but rare. By not paying staff and players, Rohl is definitely in a better position to negotiate any clause lower. I am sure he'll expect a good signing on bonus wherever he goes, which will cover the cost to buy himself out. It be worth any eventual club to wait.

Yeah probably clutching at straws. But a very short article written by two journos, not so sure about that, Mike has been writing about the Wednesday stuff ongoing for a while. However you’re right, it probably doesn’t mean anything 😀

It’s worth noting, that it’s Mike McGrath the likely writer of that article, who writes on topic’s nationally. Percy is the Midlands correspondent, maybe he’s included within this article for a reason…

Like here, Owls talk know as much about Rohl’s side as we do. Check Brentford’s forum, he doesn’t have his own topic (from what I can see) which you imagine would be slightly weird if it’s Brentford discussing compensation... On the Brentford forum they have discussed it but this discussion also includes don’t they mean Röhl’ assistant and wouldn’t this undermine KA knowing he’ll take over should it all go wrong. The lack of movement just points to us being the club. They’d have announced King by now. Dyche I assume could come in should it fail with Rohl and assume we’re not letting on to anyone we’re negotiating anything to ensure we can keep our options open. The better not just go for King though like others have said he isn’t ready and wouldn’t stand a chance. Ecstatic he is learning with us though.

Prepare for the meltdown on the Rohl thread.

Stop taking photos then you perve

yes put us out of our misery, go on do it.

Sorry I should have been clearer. I was talking about being pro or non pro Dyche, so if we did sign him then most would be in favour. I would favour Rohl too but most people are likely to be ok with Dyche if it were to be him. But who knows with this board, it’s them where the change needs to be made.

I’d rather Rohl but Dyche is favoured higher than he isn’t in the recent poll. Its a very real possibility that we get neither , options far far worse.

No one is ever is ever held accountable and how we have anyone on here defending the board still, is beyond me. It’s all the little things that go wrong, left to the last minute and all the lost revenue, it all adds up if you constantly fail to sell players when decent money was offered. And we seemingly treat good pros like this - and why it’s all needless.

Only so many people the club can get away with trying to fool. I wonder if we are completely fcked and we’ve no one immediately lined up and struggling to even convince our targets to take the poisoned chalice.

There will definitely be a section that refers to his struggles due to the nasty Leicester fans.

Yes, if you read their forum it’s horrendous. Their chairman openly argues with fans on Linkedin it be hilarious if this wasn’t all very serious and depressing for lots of people. Mismanaged into their current mess. Rohl did very well considering and we will benefit if we get him.

Agreed. I hope the club are actively pursuing him after all this. I definitely think the club needs change at the top but the very least a forward thinking coach like Rohl I can get behind.

Can’t see that. Think there is a tweet posted (posted here too) that stats compensation likely agreed but doesn’t give an amount. May just be me being blind.

Yep if I put £1k on Wilder (😀 @jamesmilner ) then the odds will decrease for Wilder. I could be just a buffoon taking a wild bet.

The bookies should never be held as an indicator of anything.

if anyone wants a look https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/search/2/image?family=editorial&phrase=leicester city football club&sort=best&page=2 These will be updated during pre season.

It’ll be the same situation, other club not willing to match the stupid wages and us trying our best to haggle our way out of a sale to avoid a balance sheet loss on the fee. Buyer pulls out and lose out anyway. Vestergaard could easily have left but didn’t fancy it. What’s annoying is this better not prevent Ben Nelson getting into the team.

All have been on international duty, so will be back later, although Hamza is back it doesn't surprise me he is back earlier
