Bossman Blessed It Posted 3 March 2017 Posted 3 March 2017 If we win against Hull I'd be absolutely gutted if CS didn't get the job - at least until the end of the season. Roy is 70. He's experienced of course, but you'd have to look all the way back to his Fulham days to find the last time he did a decent job.
WinslowFox Posted 3 March 2017 Posted 3 March 2017 I want him nowhere near the club I think it would be a car crash of a disaster. I'm already having nightmares about this, I've just woken up from a terrible dream where he took over and CS left the club!!!
KP Fox Posted 3 March 2017 Posted 3 March 2017 I bet Albrighton is worried about being replaced on the left wing by Vardy if Hodgson is appointed.
dayday Posted 3 March 2017 Posted 3 March 2017 I can't get that England team selection out of my head when I think of Woy, was it something like 5 strikers on the pitch at once?, a no from me.
Strokes Posted 3 March 2017 Posted 3 March 2017 6 hours ago, Chester Dontlie said: He may be but he was also one of the few (the only one I can remember) managers who genuinely praised our style of play last season while others were patronising or talking in cliches. What's more important he helped us in the crucial moment of the season, they didn't roll over for Spuds. Ian Huntley said nice things about us too, I might start campaigning for his early release. I mean only the good guys like Leicester right?
Vacamion Posted 3 March 2017 Posted 3 March 2017 When I go to type Woy, my phone auto-corrects it to "Why". Says it all.
Number 6 Posted 3 March 2017 Posted 3 March 2017 5 hours ago, Struwwelpeter60 said: "But does sacking a football manager have an effect? Not very much of one, a growing body of evidence suggests. There is over a 90 percent correlation between teams’ wages and their results, according to analysis of teams’ spending and results from 1973 to 2010 in “Soccernomics,” a book by Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski. That leaves less than 10 percent to be decided by other factors — who its manager is, injuries, scouting and plain old luck. In English football from 1973 to 2010, Kuper and Szymanski found, only 10 percent of top-flight managers consistently overachieved when wages were taken into account. A very select few managers do make a difference, but most have a negligible impact on how a club performs." Tim Wigmore, FiveThirtyEight "Today, the average Premier League manager — except Arsene Wenger, in his 21st year at Arsenal — lasts a little over a year, slightly shorter than Ranieri’s reign. That doesn’t leave much time for a manager to leave a mark." Tim Wigmore, FiveThirtyEight Just something to think about. But we increased everyone's wages and got massively worse?
Lesteban Posted 3 March 2017 Posted 3 March 2017 11 minutes ago, Number 6 said: But we increased everyone's wages and got massively worse? Our total wage bill in 2017 is lower than Newcastles was when they got relegated, according to the figures available online (of course these aren't exactly famous for being reliable). As it goes on to say, for the way we were playing (chances created, chances conceded etc. Presumably a model with a huge number of input variables, 538 are notoriously good at data analytics) we have been the most unlucky team in the league, with a goal difference about 10 worse than should be expected.
Raj Posted 3 March 2017 Posted 3 March 2017 Currently 6% want him. This 6% need naming and shaming....
Fox92 Posted 3 March 2017 Posted 3 March 2017 Just now, Col city fan said: Who are the 6.8%? I'm on... He's not my number one target Col but he'd keep us up. Get him in short term - untill the summer. Horrid football but I'm sure he'd stable us and make us difficult to break down. He saved Fulham when they were in a worse position that we are now. For all his faults with England his record in the PL isn't too bad (ignore Blackburn and Liverpool )
foxinsocks Posted 3 March 2017 Posted 3 March 2017 Thr owners are ambitious. ... roy is spent.... his handling of his resignation showed he was out of touch ie failing to understand that he owed an explanation to those who had supported him. ... to explain his reasoning for team selection and tatics

No disrespect Fox92, but after last season, I was hoping for a bit more than this. Even though England had 100% win rate in qualification, it was the most boring uninspired games of football I can remember watching. After last season, I was shot down in flames for suggesting Defoe as a striker and told...Come on man, we're champions of England. Where's your ambition? And now some are happy with Hodgson

It's all very well saying "but Claudio had a torrid international job immediately before we signed him", but the difference there is nobody on this board had been following Greece closely like we do with England and by all accounts the team he had was so bad that it didn't really matter who the manager was (note how they lost to Faroe Islands a second time once he'd left) whereas with Roy we all had ample time to see his baffling squad and team selections, we were all party to his pathetic interviews like saying that tactics don't matter. The guy's lost it as a manager and if he comes here we're doomed. Fortunately I don't believe for one second that we will offer him a job, I reckon our owners are far more intelligent than that.
erlee Posted 3 March 2017 Posted 3 March 2017 SUN BETS have suspended betting on Roy Hodgson becoming the next Leicester manager. The former England boss was backed in to as short as 1/5 in a matter of hours this evening.
Babylon Posted 3 March 2017 Posted 3 March 2017 10 hours ago, Sharpe's Fox said: Could people stop saying they would just be "disappointed" or even "content". Pathetic. Take a view you cowards, this would be a disastrous appointment for any club who would claim to have confidence in its current staff and wants to portray themselves in any way as modern. So you think there are only two emotions then, happy and unhappy.... just so you know, there isn't.

This Vardy and Drinky stuff is getting boring.... at least he actually picked them. The reality is he had Kane in his position and he wasn't going to replace him. So he tried to fit him in the team.

I think... someone like Hodgson short term to keep us up. Then go again for Mancini in the summer.

I wish they would show it when they come to managers then... their first criteria seems to be nice to the press and then whether they are famous or not. I can't believe for one second we've studied managers who are out there and researched who would fit this club, because if we had we'd not be constantly going through the same list time after time of old managers.

I'm pretty sure their track record goes "washed up ex-England, unproven foreigner, media-unfriendly genius, genial Don". Not sure there's a very discernible pattern...

I definitely think he is a dinosaur, but he should have enough to keep us up as he will also want to silence his critics. If we give him a long contract then I will be totally uninspired and #Rudkinout, but Hodgson until the end of the season and then a younger innovative manager in the Summer would be fine by me. Or just keep Shakey if we do well tomorrow.
