Thracian Posted 28 September 2005 Posted 28 September 2005 Do you seriously believe he doesn't know or get to know what's said on here?. Put yourself in his position. Are you honestly saying he will not even want to know what the fans are saying?. He'll know everything if he's the manager he's meant to be.

BenFilbert Posted 28 September 2005 Posted 28 September 2005 Just how much time do you suggest with give him?? He has been in charge for almost a year now and I can personally see NO improvement. Under his leadership we are averaging less points per game in the Championship than we ever did under Mickey Adams and the 'football' is some of the worst I have ever seen played by a Leicester side. If we continue as we have for the first 1/4 of the season then we will surely be relegated. And what is it with people who plead with us to give managers more time, that they always bring up examples of managers getting right after being given time (ie Sir Alex Ferguson) as their reason for doing so?? Have they forgot about the many managers given time who have failed to deliver the goods?? Christmas 2006
leicester1884 Posted 28 September 2005 Author Posted 28 September 2005 Christmas 2006 Fair enough - at least you answered the original question.

Are you honestly saying he will not even want to know what the fans are saying?. He'll know everything if he's the manager he's meant to be. if he did know what we were saying week in week out, wouldnt he be tempted to just try some of the suggestions, just to see how things would fair? Hughes in central role, LB dilemma etc. The results and the performances have not been going right so im sure at some stage he must have thought some changes are required. Its what changes would need to be done and whether he was brave enough to do them is a different story. The fact that so many here are screaming for Sheehan to be given a proper run, Hughes in a central role must prove something to Levein - that the fans at least have a tiny idea of what tactics may bring success. The fact that he carries on regardless shows that he prob does not see these forums .... (or does and couldnt give a damn)
leicester1884 Posted 28 September 2005 Author Posted 28 September 2005 Please back up your argument with facts as I did then. Name them, how long they had and why they failed!! The point is you complete numbskull at least they had the time to prove themselves. We aren't saying keep the guy even if it looks like we will go down!! I can't argue that you give some good examples of where managers being given time has worked, but that is not always the case. Some turn it around and some don't, and I personally just don't feel Levein will (I hope I'm wrong). I was just trying to say that just because others have with time, does not mean it is certain to happen here. Not sure of the exact statistics, but I'm sure there was some sort of improvement in the first 11 months of the examples you gave - didn't Megson turn around results quickly at West Brom to ensure they avoided the drop?? Under Levein I feel there has been no improvement and no sign of being any. Ask any Forest fan if they feel giving Joe Kinear or David Platt time benefited the club in the long term. So just how long are you prepared to give Levein?? "numbskull" - However will I sleep at night
Blue Arrow Posted 28 September 2005 Posted 28 September 2005 Were alright except we can't finish to save our lives. in unless one of our strikers steps up a gear we really need a new one in january

So just how long are you prepared to give Levein?? "numbskull" - However will I sleep at night I have never said that it WOULD definately be ok if he stayed. I was just giving people something else to think about before they jumped on the Levein out bandwagon. When people said they wanted Adams out I said the same thing as i'm saying now, getting rid of a manager doesn't mean everything will be ok when the new guy comes in. Was I not correct?? as we have stood still (on the field anyway). What i'm trying to point out is that the same might happen this time if you get rid of Levein. Get the new guy in, let him swap the squad around, AGAIN!! (which won't be easy as all of Leveins signings are on 3 year deals) At the end of it in 11 months time we could still be in the same boat. What do you do then?? Give the guy a chance or keep swapping managers every 11months in the hope one will work out? As for Forest, their fans with hind sight would probably say they should of stuck with Paul Heart (think that was his name) instead of getting rid when he had a dodgy patch. Kinnear saved them from relegation when he first joined so i'm sure they were happy about that. The budget cuts he endured would probably have finished off the best of managers to be honest!! Speaking of budget cuts, that brings me nicely to Mr Platt!! To compare him to Levein is a bit silly considering the amount of Money he was handed to bring success back to the City ground. Had Levein had the cash to spend Platt had then I would be packing his bags for him!! Read my original thread, I said how long i'd give him then if things get worse. Sorry about the numbskull, bad day at work
Nationwider Posted 28 September 2005 Posted 28 September 2005 Bring him in as a fecking striker then I seriously suggested pre-season that we should sign him on a short deal. I know it's short-termism, but if Sheringham can get 20 in this league at the age of 39, Claridge would have no probs tucking a few away. He's a bona fide hero too, of which we currently have none. As a fully paid-up, badge-wearing member of the "Give Levein Time Brigade©", I'll be reviewing my position at the end of this season. If we're relegated, it would be best for him to move on, I suspect. Anything else, and I'll reserve judgement and consider the bigger picture come May.
Hutber's Law Posted 29 September 2005 Posted 29 September 2005 CL said when he came, in his very first press conference, that it was his aim to drop the average age of the squad, to bring talent through the ranks and to have year on year improvement in the team. He's definitely succeeded in the first, is doing a good job of the second and I'm confident that the third will be achieved too. I think he's done an excellent job.
The People's Hero Posted 29 September 2005 Posted 29 September 2005 Exactly. There's a surprise for you in the cellar.... Stuey: A dead Lois? CLASSIC!
Thracian Posted 29 September 2005 Posted 29 September 2005 We passed the ball around better than Brighton We had more possession than Brighton We created more opportunities than Brighton We played better football than Brighton We should have won last night. We simply did not score Again! And we didn't select the side that would help us score - again. And we didn't play all our best players - again And we played two defensive midfielders - again And so we lost - again And the crowd was down - again And we slipped down the table - again And if you're really honest Brighton should have won with that gilt-edged chance - again
NFFC Chris Posted 29 September 2005 Posted 29 September 2005 I can't help noticing mention of our old managers.I think Paul Hart had to go personally,he made some shocking signings,Michael Stewart and Danny Sonner to name two.David Platt had a couple years and we did'nt make any improvements under him whatsoever,and Kinnear kept us up when he came in but lost the plot last season,calling us morons and he had to go when we lost 3-0 at the sheep!If I was a Leicester fan I would be thinking give Levein until christmas and if things haven't improved,I would say he must go!

I think thats the general concensus to be fair, there are obviously the odd few fans who want everything yesterday but I think if you ask the majority of Leicester fans they are prepared to give CL until Christmas before they start asking questions.
