Nick Posted 23 May 2017 Share Posted 23 May 2017 I do wonder if they are talking about retaining his services in some capacity rather than 'permanent manager'... I have a sneaking suspicion our owners will have a 'Plan B' that will involve appointing Shakey as 'First Team/Head Coach' rather than 'Manager' and bringing in an experienced director of football (with management experience) to oversee stuff - which basically can be justified due to Shakey's lack of experience and means he can be demoted or fired if it all doesn't work out and the DOF can neatly slot into the club manager role on permanent or temporary basis.... The DOF may also help in transfer profile negotiations.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arriba Los Zorros Posted 23 May 2017 Share Posted 23 May 2017 Excelente. Let's not let a couple of end of season games with an injury ravaged squad detract from the great job CS has done, it is short term thinking. The right move by the club hands down to give him a chance. Now get NP in as assistant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarriedaLeicesterGirl Posted 23 May 2017 Share Posted 23 May 2017 When you have a lot of star players on contract who have been saying publicly they want Shakespeare to get the top job, and he gets the top job, it will be harder to convince the club to let you move over the summer. Mahrez and Schmeichel spring to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as it hurts to say, that's an accounting error for the club at this point. I hate money, especially the money I don't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnfox Posted 23 May 2017 Share Posted 23 May 2017 Shakey deserves a shot at it. He has done a solid job with skeletal coaching staff and key players missing. His brief when he took the job was plain and simple - keep us up. What we need now is a 2 - 3 year plan which will require a different approach. It'll be interesting how CS wants to put his stamp on the club - not just the team. He deserves a shot at it. Good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already have a 'Director of Football', Jon Rudkin. 11 minutes ago, norwichfox said: 1 more goal v Bournemouth would have bought us another £5,8 million, hardly "a dead rubber" scenario. And the players tried....to be stumped by a tight call on offside. The players will have had bonus pool payments riding on a higher finish. I suspect of all those involved, the owners probably the least fussed given the CL windfall. 16 minutes ago, Babylon said: I can't believe how much a few dead rubber games with an injury crisis can actually alter peoples opinions.

Yet Marco Silva gets suggested as a replacement despite his last three games being a 0-2 loss to Sunderland, a 0-4 hammering and a 1-7 whacking.

We scored one more goal... not really his fault the lino decided to flag for it or Slim missed a couple of sitters. We've struggled against Bournemouth in every game we've played them, even when we won the title. That second half was about the best we've played against them.

foxy boxing Posted 23 May 2017 Share Posted 23 May 2017 they probably want to see how the summer recruitment and the start of next season goes i'd imagine before offering him the job on a more permanent basis, at the same time as looking at other candidates and determining how they would work out!

I doubt the recruitment would go very well if people don't know which management team they are signing for. We got lucky with Ranieri in that the club was in a pretty stable situation whereas now we are at a crossroads where it will be a battle to keep players as well as recruit the correct players. Certainty, well as much as you can reasonably expect in football is what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christoph Posted 23 May 2017 Share Posted 23 May 2017 Rather it be a one year extension than 3 year contract. If things don't work out, it will hopefully mean he survives the year and goes back to assistant manager rather than being sacked and probably having to move on.

Gerard Posted 23 May 2017 Share Posted 23 May 2017 I'm hoping the club don't appoint Shakey as manager. If it was up to me I'd try and keep him onside and to make him feel highly appreciated by the club but we want him utilised in what I feel is his best role as head coach. I just feel there will be complacency by the players with Shakey as manager and going forward it would be a lot better for the club to bring in a new manager and liven the place up again with maybe some new ideas and a different voice.

Almo-Fox Posted 23 May 2017 Share Posted 23 May 2017 I think shakey will get the job with one year extension wich leave him with pressure and can get sacked as was ranieri n the half season if th results are poor Hope he wil do better with real recruitment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
