But what happens when the manager dosent want/need him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tetly Posted 27 May 2017 Share Posted 27 May 2017 He definitely deserves a chance, I just hope the club has a plan to help him reshape our squad. He is very well respected he just needs the right support from the club. I think staff recruitment could be as important as player recruitment. We we must be light in the coaching department after all the departures when the old manager was sacked. I would like to think we have our recruitment staff in place and targets identified. If we manage to get the right players in I am confident we can have a good season next year. We also need to keep most of our current squad.

No other manager was approached for the role, only Roy Hodgson and his agent approached the club of his interest a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacreblueits442 Posted 27 May 2017 Share Posted 27 May 2017 Surely the delay is eating into our timetable to recruit new players. The owners appear to be in no hurry to make a decision but the potential to pick up your number one target is imo being lost, due to complacency.

So no rush but I agree it needs sorting asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ithuriel Posted 28 May 2017 Share Posted 28 May 2017 Some peeps I think are worrying over nothing in our seeming lack of transfer activity. The way I look at the way we recruit is this. The club needs to bring in a player to create adequate competition or to fulfill a certain requirement. Players are identified and their clubs or agents are approached. If they are interested, negotiations take place over a period of time and if everyone comes to an agreement, numerous medicals take place before an announcement is made as the player signs a contract or agreement. So if we are truly in for certain players and are serious then their agent is not going to let their client agree to anything until all their options have been looked at. It is of course silly season for transfer rumours as agents, the media, clairvoyants and the piss head down the local pub have all heard stuff that's happening. Sometimes I get the impression that peeps think that men in dark cloaks wait outside the training grounds waiting to chloroform players and then torture them into signing agreements like some sort of Spanish inquisition .

We should have been in contract with players as soon as we reached 40 points. Things should already be in motion& the fact we don't even have a manager yet is why people may be annoyed and players may not want to join us.

A have a wonderful Chinese friend who spent hundreds of pounds on a Burberry handbag. But on finding it had the smallest imperfection took it back to the store in Bicester that she bought it from. She might have kept it for herself but as it was a gift for a close friend so it just wouldn't do and had to be returned. Some bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to the guy - he's not just got our owners to please, but and a whole lot of ungrateful Leicester fans who clearly can't wait to hammer the bloke on any pretext whatsoever. I just hope he's got satisfactory compensation sorted out for when he's sacked. Cos as poisoned challices go, this must be up among the best of them. First thing Shaky needs to do is change his name and place of birth to something like Muller/Bavaria and learn to speak in broken English, just to give himself a chance. Could be worse though. I doubt if his appointment would be allowed at all if Corbyn were prime minister. Englishmen in positions of power? Could the bloke even sleep at night let alone answer a straight question?.

Being fair I think the transfer activity has been ongoing and with Shakespeare's input. But the uncertainty won't have helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree about the Far Eastern bias towards big names, I think our owners are far more savvy than you give them credit for. I'm sure they can clearly see that Shakey is the best choice going forward and will act accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 28 May 2017 Share Posted 28 May 2017 Our owners have always made great decisions.. bringing Nigel back was an inspired move, bringing in Ranieri was too, as was letting him go. They learnt quickly with Sven and if they are putting their trust in Shakey then I will too.. if there is anyone knows what is needed to improve this group of players then it would be Shakey... for the most part, deals are done after a two week break... players come back from holiday and then make their decisions... the meeting to identify which targets we want was had a few weeks ago.

I've never been more impressed with the leadership of our club but disagree that they've always made great decisions...and I suspect they would too...which is a good sign and perhaps covered by your comment about learning quickly.

Time will tell. I've nothing against constructively justified criticism but some of the contrived negativity about Shakespeare's management in recent weeks suggests there are some who can hardly wait for the bloke to fail.
