AKCJ Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 The absolute state of those people commenting in the bit at the bottom of the BBC article.
ealingfox Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 As I heard several times on the walk from the ground back to the pub on Saturday, they 'gorragirritimnow'. 100% win ratio, best in the club's history so it's a no-brainer
lgfualol Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 Makes the most sense to just give him the job until May. Only problem is that he might do well and decide to leave in the Summer to manage another club if we bring in someone else.

Fox 4 Life Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 12 minutes ago, Nod.E said: Why would that concern you? Pearson is one of our most successful managers of all time. You don't half come out with some tripe you. Because that was Pearson's main weakness. He has limited tactical ability and no plan B whatsoever. The main thing Ranieri did add here was some tactical awareness last season, he knew when to make subs and change formations and won us games by doing so. He lost the plot this year but the difference between him and Nige in that respect was huge.
Guest Danny Clender Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 19 minutes ago, Kitchandro said: Totally sensible to give him it until the end of the season, but not full time. I've heard that he was in charge of tactics under Pearson, which worries me a lot, but after 2 good performances he's shown he can keep this team up and we need to do that. Of course, if he wins the next 11 we'd be mad not to review. Does that mean I'd be right in saying, Pearson's team played with Shakespeare's tactics, Ranieri played with Pearson's Team with his own tactics, now Shakespeare is playing with Pearson's team with Ranieri's tactics?

"Leicester deserve to be relegated for the way CR has been treated. You won the league a few months ago and now you have sacked your manager. I think the supporters are a complete joke and disgrace. Shame on any supporters who backs the boards decision by attending future games."
ajthefox Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 I think this is the right decision. I think the difficult thing is that if we don't offer him the job in summer but he wants it, you can guarantee he'll be off.
Larry_LCFC Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 Good news but having a good long term manager sorted asap is equally as important for the summer. Could massively influence who stays, who goes and who we can capture.
IrememberBobHazell Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 Its the right decision, call it an extended interview or probationary period. Yes the last two results (and performances) have been a lot better but you can't give it to him full time (yet). After all he has no proper managerial experience and two games isn't enough to warrant a Premier League job. I obviously want him to stick around regardless but the Rob Kelly example did stick in my mind. Wonderful short term impact and fell apart later on. Mind you the finances of the club at the time, and the reluctance of Rob to carry on doing the job despite his initial success, would also have played into the final result.
esoog Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 Only negative to this is we have lost a great assistant. If he doesn't get job next year or at any point replaced, there is no doubt he will look find a managers not assistant job elsewhere.

I'm not buying that a manager who took us from League One to the Premier League and kept us there has 'limited tactical ability'. Total myth.
Nugent Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 Good news. Imagine there will be a fair few of us winning a decent amount of money on this! Happy days!

Nugent Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 Just now, ktfox59 said: £1200???? Nice mate well played! £200 for me, knew I should have stuck more on but first decent win in a while so very happy!
brucey Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 £1500 for me 16/1 what were they thinking, even before the Liverpool game that was a ridiculous price
ktfox59 Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 Just now, Nugent said: Nice mate well played! £200 for me, knew I should have stuck more on but first decent win in a while so very happy! I kept backing him at the best available odds 8/1 down.all with hills and paddy power. Even went and got my £30 on at 6/1 when Roy was 6 7/1 on. Anyway. I do believe it's great news regardless. I'm 58 and watched a lot of Leicester city football. I hope he makes a great job of it.... if he decides to take it on the terms the owners offer it to him, which tbh I did allude to a few days ago. He may want 2 years and they may not want to give him that long initially. A compromise could be 18months

fleshdaddy Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 I'll be on for between £6-700 if it comes off. That'll go nicely towards this summers holiday!
Izzy Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 Knew I should have had a bet on this, bollux! Good news if true though and the right call IMO. Well done Shakey, much deserved
