roblcfc84 Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 Apparently the owners asked Simpson, Morgan and Huth which managers style would most their effective long passing style - now we just need to book in those samba lessons for the whole team for when we eventually score

He has been approached to see if he knows anyone decent to manage Leicester
Ric Flair Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 Hahahahaa oh no. Percy knows his stuff as well. Praying Hiddink is keen.
foxes21 Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 there's nothing on Percy's twitter about Pardew? If we replace Claudio with Pardew we deserve to go down and Rudkin should be sacked.

I know he's usually a good source but to me it looks like guess work based on what other journos have said.
Ozwin Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 Hopefully they've leaked talking to Pardew so the fans see Pearson's appointment in a better light. If we appoint Pardew I will genuinely find it hard to follow our club with an ounce of interest, the man is an utter idiot who thinks he's some sort of media savvy LAD with bags of credentials. He's lucky to even be considered for Premier League jobs after the state he left Newcastle and Palace in.
Wymsey Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 Shakespeare may be a 'hidden gem'. Knows the team well, and knows the team's strengths and weaknesses. I believe somewhat he and Ranieri didn't get on 100% as some claim due to Ranieri not willing to change anything despite Shakespeare's advice/suggestions.

AKCJ Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 The more I think about it the more I'm inclined to keep Shakey. He's clearly got the right temperament. The FA had him in the England set up so he's obviously got the ability. He can handle the pressure. He's got the respect of the players. He's very 'hands on'. He's got a lot of ticked boxes, only "experience" remains unchecked.

I wouldn't be against Shakespeare taking over til the end of the season and with a review after that. These are special circumstances. Our title team was so well bonded and Shakespeare was a part of that bond. If they've indicated that they'd like him in charge I can't imagine anyone else would have a greater short-term impact, and that's what's needed just now. He's indicated that he'd like the job and feels capable of doing the job. I don't see too much downside compared with appointing a perhaps non-ideal manager in haste and the importance of restoring stability quickly. People keep going on about widespread changes but we simply don't have the right replacements available. Certainly it's worth involving people like Gray and Ndidi but anyone believing they're the human equivalent of the Holy Grail is misguided. Both are a long way from being a finished article.
Hugo Sanchez Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 If it's padrew , I seriously would start protesting against the owners.
RonnieTodger Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 Anyone but Hodgson or Pardew. Hodgson would really make me reconsider renewing a season ticket. Despise the twat.
fazzyfox Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 With the Sky cameras there tonight I propose a few mask wearing notebook holding fans dotted around to get speculation going. In rank order of likelyhood - Mancini Pearson Pardew Lennon (Neil) Lennon (John) Lord Lucan Rusty Lee Alan Curbishley (Always the bridesmaid never the bride in these things)
drofmor55 Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 I believe whoever the owners appoint will be the right man...their record is 2nd to none....got us out of the championship, won the premier league and still in the KO stages of the Champions League...yes i know we are in the bottom 3,but i trust them to get us out of it by the end of the season

If we've sacked the nicest man in football to replace him with an incompetent weapon like pardew then I despair.
Al-aLondon-Foxile Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 My no.1 choice right now would be NP. Based on his knowledge of the playing staff, and theirs of him, and knowledge of the club, i think he'd be best equipped to turn it around in what is a short period of time. I actually don't care about his arrogant attitude, it's all part of his character, the same one that defends his players, he's old school but the right player will buy into that and run through brick walls for him. He's a PR disaster though, and will be difficult for the owners to appoint i imagine. If not him then Shakey would get my vote. None of the others particularly inspire me, or give me confidence of keeping us up.

Getting Hodgson in until the summer is basically, get him in and if he keeps us up the owners will think he's done well and then he'll get a 3 year deal and we're no better off except for still being a PL club but with a manager most of us don't want long term. The short term options really should be from short term specialists. 5 minutes ago, Watson said: and these would be exactly the same people who questioned whether we were Pearson fans or Leicester fans and to support the club whatever I think it would take a change of owners to get Pearson back

Out Foxed Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 If we appointed Pardew, I'd stop following the club
Guest Mickyblueeyes Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 Our search for a manager is as disorganised as our recruitment policy. How do you go from Mancini and Hiddink, to Pearson, to Pardew, to two up and coming young Portuguese managers. Not one is similar to the other. What exactly is the policy on a candidate here? Sit down as a board and ask yourselves what do you want the club philosophy to be. Establish a criteria. Than, set about listing a set of candidates. Why do we do things so unprofessionally each time.
