Managers worth bringing in?

[foxes21]

When Ranieri goes (probably at the end of his contract) I'd go for Pulis. Not the most popular choice I know.

 

But Pulis knows how to organise a team week in week out. With good owners behind him like ours & a squad with potential like ours.. He could build a team that doesn't just offer stability, but success too.

Has anyone menioned Steve Cotteril?

Proven in the Premier League with both Swansea and Liverpool. He ultimately failed at Liverpool because they got top 4 aspirations. We don't. Success for us is finishing in the top half and winning a cup. Rodgers is not beneath us. 

Just because you've worked in the Premiership doesn't mean your proven. He was dreadful at Liverpool. Klinsmann bombed out of the US. Mancini spends a fortune in Italy without results, Benitez and O'Neil happy and I don't think the latter would ever come back for more than one reason. Howe if anywhere would go to Arsenal but why leave his project at Bournemouth to come here? Ranieri is only a small part of the problem some of our players need a good hard look at themselves with Marhez and Vardy being the first two on that list. A few of them are an absolute disgrace. Big wages and a medal have left some of them thinking they are more talented than what they really are and they're not putting the work in. Don't always agree with him but on this occasion I think Souness has called it right. When he returns to the team, regardless of natural talent, if he doesn't show a bit more work rate and loyalty then Marhez needs dropping.

Hogdson and Pardew

 

Probably the worst 2 options out of available managers in world football. Rather have Preki.

[Firegrande]

Two seasons ago people were arguing left right and centre for Pearson's head when we were playing better than we are now!! 

Yet if someone voices their opinion on Claudio people get all fickle and start getting abusive. 

We're in the shit people, -13 goal difference already, shipping goals like they're going out of fashion, players don't look like they care, sauntering around like they don't wanna be here!!! Laughing and joking with opposition players after the game. 

Let's discuss what's going wrong without arguing and disapproving of others opinions shall we.

Are you claiming NFP was sacked because our owners are egotistical?

No but our owners should've maybe given him the benefit of the doubt here (after the great escape feat), after his son's Thailand shenanigans. I wouldn't say our owners were egotistical like Derby's owner, they're just business minded....but you sense their patience may be starting to wear thin with CR.

[FoxInTheBirstallBox]

Do you lot seriously suggest that we should have a manager like Gary rowette or pearson again to carry on champions league games this year and you lot say ranieri has no clue about football?! Sounds like most of foxes talk don't either.

And you think pulis will leave West brom now to come to Leicester?

What have you seen to Base this on? Fact? Or your own bias? The only thing I have seen in interviews or writing since ranieri has been here is when vardy got banned and he referred to the club as his "beloved leicester city"

But no I'm sure you are in the know and go for a cup of tea with the owners and they tell you all of this

 

Unless you have fact don't speculate bull shit you just make yourself sound daft

Im getting at the fact people thought CR was the best manager ever last season yet now calling for his head.

 

 

He was clearly the best manager at that time? We won the league. 

 

Every manager has a shelf life at a club. Maybe that time has expired for Ranieri, and we need a new direction, but it'd be silly to insinuate we made the wrong decision firing Pearson and hiring him. 

[bald reynard]

Boot Claudio 'upstairs' (Director of Football or some such title - to reward him for last year) and appoint a Coach / Team Manager - preferably someone who Claudio wants (and possibly has worked with in the past).  One choice could be Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink - he played for Claudio at Chelsea and Athletico Madrid - and I read last year that each had loads of respect for the other.  I know he has recently been a bit of a flop at QPR - but that was as sole Manager - he could be much better with Claudio's guiding hand. East Midlands background - he did really well at Burton.

[RowlattsFox]

We'd definitely end up with a Pardew/Hodgson type appointment. A big name like Mancini might be interested in the summer but not sure they'd risk it mid-season with a team struggling.

 

I couldn't see our owners going for someone like a Marco Silva like Hull have done.

 

I hope Ranieri shows something in the next couple of games which means he can last until the end of the season and part ways.

If we are going to change Managers I'd like to see Eddie Howe come in. He's done a fantastic job with Bournemouth and has had very little money to spend.

Can you imagine the job he could do here with our budget.

I think he's done a very good job and they clearly have a way of playing which has helped recruitment. It's wrong to say he hasn't had money to spend though and they generally seem to have overpaid for people.

[foxfanazer]

Alan Curbishley?

[Tayo]

Only want 1 of 2, sean dyche or eddie howe. Both are young, both are revolutionary when you do a bit of research of them. Plus if we go down they will get us promoted

I said at the end of Ranieri's contract . Providing we are still in the PL and with the owners ambition, Pulis could be tempted.

If NFP acted in the way I've been told then the owners had no choice but to sack him, there was no longer anything like a working relationship.

He's clearly not an easy person to work with, hence the amount of 'gardening leave'.

So basically the Thai's hand was forced to get rid, which doesn't bode well when it comes to removing Ranieri. I don't think they're in any way decisive enough on matters like this and it bothers me given I don't think Claudio realises how serious our situation is.

[Thracian]

Pulis, Dyche or Howe might suit our situation were we not so close to the closing of the transfer window. I'm not sure they could effect enough change to solve our problems in time to prevent relegation though. And I don't think any of them would join us from their current situation. We seem to be snookered til the season's end unless there's a big change of attitude among the people we've already got.   

[LCFC FOX]

If we do go down. I want a proven championship manager. 

 

Gary Rowett would be a good choice if he's not in a job at the end of the season.

 

Garry Monk (if Leeds don't get promoted), 

 

 

Wagner? Klopps ex number two and has massive potential to be just like klopp. I reckon this would be a great move.

Brendan rogers??? Please no.

He spent a bucketload of cash and then some more in his time at Liverpool and ultimately failed, the only reason he is doing well at celtic is my gran would win that league with her eyes closed and only her playing. Swansea was a team and philosphy he inherited, so no kudos for that. 

Thanks but no thanks

Rodgers took over a shambolic Liverpool side tbf. We're not Liverpool and we don't demand top 4, so for us he'd probably do alright. 

 

Rodgers is not a bad manager. He's not a top 4/5 manager but he certainly isn't too shit for us.

Please God no. This would so seriously test my 45 year loyalty to my beloved home town football club.

 

His 4 year tenure as England manager was an unmitigated disaster. Sailed through the qualifiers because the groups were so easy but had no clue at all when the crunch time arrived during tournament football.

 

I can't be any clearer that Roy Hodgson is a 100% no in my opinion.

Every manager is a disaster for England because a) he's got to pick English players b) the pressures from the press and fans etc. Hodgson lost his way due to that and never really stuck to his principles. I'm not going to judge him on England. He did good jobs at Fulham and West Brom when expectation wasn't so high and he could do it his way without too much outside influence.

 

As a long term manager, no thanks. But if we got into deeper doo doo than we are now then I think he'd be an ideal candidate to call upon until the end of the season. As I mentioned before, he knows the league, all our opposition, many of our players. Despite England I think he's still get respect from the players, he's used to dealing with fragile egos at the highest levels and can sort teams out tactically. A steadying hand who can make himself clear and the players understand what he's saying and what he want.

 

Again, long term no. But if you're sacking people in February / March you're only going to get people who "failed" in their last job. Anyone doing a good job elsewhere probably won't be available.
