Vichai 'considering options' on manager role

[Foxxed]

Reading play Huddersfield on the 29th. Gotta wait until then.

 

I wonder what manager would be willing to say yay or nay before knowing if Vardy and Mahrez stayed or went.

You can't bring in a new gaffer and have shakey in at number two. Who will the players listen to? Who has the command? He's either appointed manager or he's out. Prefer the likely former

Shakey's one of my top choices but Schmidt is my number one. He seems a great fit. His style is along similar lines to ours but a bit more attacking. I get the impression with him we'd need to seriously invest in the defence (even more desperately than we already do) but we could be Europe dark horse under him.

If we continue to persist with Shakespeare in charge we will stagnate as a football club.  We won't develop tactically and we're more than likely to regress imo as and when players leave.

 

The only constant in football is change - we've gone against that for too long a period of time, albeit doing very well for ourselves in an extraordinary perfect run, continuing to persist with what we know, with little to no diffierence in our approach.  We need to freshen it up.  We need a change.  Many teams have sussed us out and we don't appear to have an answer to it, to be able to adapt our play and to force the game onto other teams.  Yesterday was another classic example of a need to work hard to get back into the game.  We can't continue to play like this.  It's too limiting and it will end up with us midtable.  Again.

 

We're behind in the transfer dealings.  We're effectively two windows down on where we should be.  Hence the need to bring in at least 5 or 6 players who need to hit the ground running for us to make up lost time on our poor efforts of last season.

 

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.  Well, it's broke, in more than one or two places.  It needs fixing.

 

Bring in a fresh face, with fresh ideas and have Shakespeare on the coaching side of things, doing what he knows best.

 

Its these, notions, and thoughts (With a couple more) 

... that  Are Going to be asked and  have to be asked.

 

 Shakespeare will be put through the wringer, on his own ideas, and how he looks to improve on our performances, where is he going to find

that release trigger that, gives us the full 90minutes...

Schmidt to Watford...surely we can't stand by and let that happen.....

We can always go in for him next summer when he gets the inevitable sack

Southampton got Koeman after losing shaw, lovren, Lallana and lambert etc

A rut that started..........when? Immediately after beating Watford 3-0? During Man City away, which could easily have been a draw or a win, where the team went for it in the 2nd half? A rut that was started by a bad gamble failing at home to Spurs? Or the rut that was a poor first half against Bournemouth?

 

Let me know exactly when this chasmic rut was dug, that the team could not be extracted from, please.

But that's all coulda, shoulda woulda.... We won 2 of our last 8 - For me a rut given just how well we were playing in the 6 match unbeaten run - the snowball effect of that starting with Shakespeare's decision to rest half of the 1st team away at Everton.

 

Beating West Brom and Watford, given they were among the worst teams in the league for form at that time, does'nt alter the worrying trajectory we were on.

Big Sam with Shakey as no 2 ? Remember Big Sam gave Shakey the England gig

Allardyce pairing up with Shakespeare, I can see the potential.

2 things. I actually said 'could' once. And it isn't possible to be in a rut and on a worrying trajectory at the same time.
