Bob Weasel Fox Posted 5 July 2015 Share Posted 5 July 2015 The longer is goes the less I want hiddink, never wanted Lennon, would of been happy with big Sam, but that ain't gonna happen, this is just getting depressing nowPie in the sky I know but if we are all honest would we want big Nige gone? No of course notBut now we are here in this position I do believe the owners need to pacify the majority of fans and make a real statement of intent 1) Klopp 2) Di Matteo 3) O'Neill 4) Hiddink? Ok maybe not everyone's cup of tea 5) Laudrup Any of the above I think would show some real movement from the owners Or big Nige back? . . . .

Bagworthblue Posted 5 July 2015 Share Posted 5 July 2015 ok after a few days to consider Who do I think it will be? Hiddink Who do I want it to be? 1] O'Neill - He won't get us relegated / his system suits us / he knows a lot about our squad already - least change / he has potential to get us top 10 / keep existing backroom team 2] Klopp - It's friggin unlikely / he is a great coach / he is ambitious / keep backroom staff / he won't stay long 3] Hiddink - atrracts big names / can't see us getting relegated / commercially good option / keep backroom staff / bit worried about his state of mind 4] Di- Matteo - unlikely he will get us relegated / will probably stick around for many years if not sacked / prem experience /query retention of backroom staff Who don't I want it to be? For me, there are no other names that would interest me in the slightest and would be too high a risk! Top bangs on about falling in love with LCFC when we won the league cup - Imagine O'Neill will be a consideration for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_77 Posted 5 July 2015 Share Posted 5 July 2015 Any reason why Shakey and Walsh couldn't handle this? Nige certainly delegated a lot of work to others on his staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LCFC_World Posted 5 July 2015 Share Posted 5 July 2015 1. Nigel Pearson Then in no particular order... 2. Neil Lennon 3. Martin ONeill 4. Klopp 5. Allardyce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 5 July 2015 Share Posted 5 July 2015 I have come to my decision.. I don't want these big names, Guus Hiidink, Klopp - you know that if you get these there is only one thing that will being them here and that is £££ - and lots of it. They won't have passion for the club and our fans, and no matter how much of a 'tactical genius' you are it won't help a club like us if you have no passion. So, if we can't have Nigel back then I would love to see ... NEIL LENNON. He has passion, commitment and isn't scared to get involved when needed. I like a manger who risks getting sent to the stands for the team, it just shows he cares about the club. Not only that, he has a history with us which shows he will be giving it 100%. He would be for the long term not like Guus who would be here for a maximum 2 years. So there you have it, Neil Lennon is the man, he may not have the needed 'experience' but everyone has to start somewhere... I think he would get the best out the players and keep the dressing room together. He has a lot of team spirit. #NeilLennonIn. Seemingly our owners don't.

jimmer Posted 5 July 2015 Share Posted 5 July 2015 Craig Shakespeare promoted to manager with a new assistant manager (maybe Kevin Phillips)? Certainly wouldn't shake things up too much (excusing the pun) I have been thinking along the same lines too. Pretty sure Pearson said in an interview that Shakey has a desire to manage one day and wouldn't stand in his way (or did I imagine that?) He is always very switched on and articulate in interviews and obviously knows the club and players inside out.... gets my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 5 July 2015 Share Posted 5 July 2015 Shakespeare seems far more level-headed and aware than Carver, who appeared to be a supporter who'd won a competition at times with his actions and outbursts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"When Jurgen signed for Dortmund there were other clubs who had better prestige and were in better financial mood. Nevertheless he decided on Dortmund." That's Klopps agent talking. Its possible.

foxychik Posted 5 July 2015 Share Posted 5 July 2015 Ok so I realise this is almost completely deluded but this is Leicester so anything is possible .... MON as director of football ( he never did the training ground stuff as far as I can remember anyway) With Klopp as coach Ridiculous maybe but could it work ? It would certainly be entertaining that's for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he was eventually sacked wasn't he? Chelsea is Chelsea and he should have a good win percentage there. Just not sure about him at a club our size at this level.

RowlattsFox Posted 5 July 2015 Share Posted 5 July 2015 It looks as though we are looking at a head coach rather than a manager. So it needs to be someone who is good motivator but also good tactically. Hard to convince managers to be this, that's why west brom ended up with Alan Irvine last summer and why we'll probably end up with Steve cotterill.
