Can't really fault that. Who knows what would've happened if he'd stayed. Fair enough! Wasn't aware, I thought it was down to the form to be honest because they lost a crazy amount towards the end of his full season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I know I know, I think he has a lot to offer, look at his goals against Everton, he should not be on the wing, he's a on the shoulder man with quick through balls, not lofted over the top punts to the wing. He's playing in a dreadful team having moved from a completely different league. I'm trying to ignore his performances this season, as well as all of the non performing new players, Not everyone can make an impact like Kante or Ndidi. If we start playing decent football, I think Musa could be a dark horse for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I hope you're correct because at the moment it looks like we may as well have spent 16m on a solid 24ct gold replica of the PL trophy!

But of course you are correct, he COULD one day, when he learns the ability to pass and control a football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSpaM Posted 24 February 2017 Share Posted 24 February 2017 I think the danger of putting Shakey in charge is that the players will feel they don't need to impress in training, like they would a new manager This team needs a serious shake up, and I dont think he's the man to do it unfortunately His ideas will be too close to Claudio's to make the immediate impact that's required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazly Posted 24 February 2017 Share Posted 24 February 2017 Hiddink would be a good drop in till the end of the season. That'd give the owners 3 months to find a solution. Or maybe Klinsmann as a stop gap come full time if he pulls the great escape II off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sphericalfox Posted 24 February 2017 Share Posted 24 February 2017 Shakey's replies to questions at the press conference suggesting that the players were 100% behind Ranieri was utter nonsense. It was PR to suggest that any incoming manager would be able to hold court and not worry about mob rule. However, it's obvious to everyone that this is exactly what has happened. Mourinho even sounded worried that this kind of behaviour is dangerous for managers. Why currently would we look like a good place for a decent manager to come? We have opinionated players who only listen when they hear what they want to hear, and we're a point of relegation? Mancini probably understands this, he left Man City after falling out with his players. As much as I would have liked him here, it would have been very optimistic. Given reports are that he's not interested, it would take a real good negotiator to bring someone of standing to the club at the minute. Who's in charge of the recruitment does not leave me at ease.

maddog Posted 24 February 2017 Share Posted 24 February 2017 Give it shake 'n' bake until the end of the season as interim manager then take our time in the summer to make the right appointment regardless of what division we are in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 24 February 2017 Share Posted 24 February 2017 1 hour ago, ttfn said: The thing about Hodgson is that as drab and uninspiring appointment as that would be what we need right now is somebody accustomed to making teams hard to beat straight away. Hodgson's England tenure ended up being a bit of a disaster but if you go back to euro 2012 he turned us into a very solid unit very quickly. I think what what we need is a short term fix to the end of the season and then we should have a look again for a long term appointment. Realistically the only longer term options are Mancini, Rowett and Pearson, all of whom would have to come in and work with a group of de-motivated, unfit players and could very easily have their first act as Leicester manager being the overseeing of the club's relegation, which is hardly the basis for a successful long-term career. Hodgson wouldn't be my choice by a long shot but I would not be at all surprised if he ends up in charge. Said it months ago, he's not the awful choice people make out and I think he ticks a lot of boxes any owners in our position would look for. Knows the league, knows the players, knows the opposition, been in this situation before with West Brom and did a brilliant job, good with the press (the owners like good press and he'd be good with them. Certainly not a long term option, but for my a far less risky short term option than a Mancini, Rowett etc. if we wanted to wait until the summer for a long term appointment.
