Gillies Apprentice Posted 6 March 2017 Posted 6 March 2017 Shakey is no fool and will realise the make or break situation he is in .If ,as expected ,he gets the caretaker role to the end of the season and ,also as expected ,we stay up ,he then has to convince the owners that he has the credentials to get the job permanently . Ironically ,the demise of Claudio and our subsequent revival will make it highly unlikely that a new manager will agree to Shakey staying on as his number two ,so he has gambled his career on getting the top job. The history of successful caretakers getting the job full time is chequered ,to say the least and I ,for one ,doubt that our owners will take the risk, however harsh that would be . Shakey knows therefore ,that he had to not only pull off the mini great escape but in addition ,have a coherent and deliverable strategy to present to the owners that he can restructure the squad and achieve their goal of establishing us as a permanent member of the Premier League. As previous posters have pointed out ,the strategic problems at the club are significant and have played no small part in our largely disappointing season ,none of which are Shakey's doing, but all of which will cloud his future . He is a very good coach and an extremely loyal servant to the club - I hope he gets his just rewards.
AmarteyAndChill Posted 6 March 2017 Posted 6 March 2017 When's Shakespear going to dress up in a suit ?

When you think about suits they are the most rubbish every day wear ever. They are crap in the cold, wet and heat, not very comfortable in comparison to other clothing.... Why bother?

I have worked with ft100 directors and most are pretty smart and focussed. This is a compmex role and needs someone bright Christ, now that's an impossible task right there. Bright strategic managers in the world of football must be difficult to find let alone relying on your "bright" strategic footballing managers to find them.

HybridFox Posted 6 March 2017 Posted 6 March 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39182985 Interesting from Michael O'Neill... Sill Shakespeare till the end of the season for me though!
Koke Posted 6 March 2017 Posted 6 March 2017 Roger Schmidt spent 3 years at Leverkusen and has a 48% win rate. He plays a similar game to Leicester. Very pragmatic football. Leverkusen almost wrote a eulogy for him.
Gerard Posted 6 March 2017 Posted 6 March 2017 We should look at the guy, he's got Leverkusen to great heights and would be available. I know nothing of him but Leverkusen always make astute signings and punch above their weight.
MGLCFC Posted 6 March 2017 Posted 6 March 2017 Sounds like Leicester. Decent players not playing for the manager, for what ever reason.
foxes21 Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 Schmidt has a very strict philosophy and that's to press very high. His teams main weakness was the defence. If Shakey and the lads can show him the importance of defence/counter attack, not just the high press/attack then it could be another perfect storm, like Ranieri.

goose2010 Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 reports are starting to come out that Shakey havent been given the job until the end of the season

UPinCarolina Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 Well, now *that* distraction is out of the way... go on then lads, make a run at the top 10.

Gerard Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 I still hope we give the job to the best man for the job rather than Shakespeare by default because we played well until the end of the season. I'm not averse to Shakey getting it at all but I hope he has a clear strategy he can present to Rudkin and the owners on how to take the club forward rather than just carrying on with what's here already.
Mendi Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 Well is was in the pipeline. Why change something when its not broken.

This is spot on. If there's not two young centre back on top of his list in June then we'll go backwards.
