OFFICIAL: Shakespeare is named Leicester City's permanent manager.

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Muy bien 

[RowlattsFox]

Personally thought now would be a good time to go down a different route but he has earnt a shot. Its a big summer of recruitment and he needs to get it right and adapt our style. 

 

Interested to see who he gets in as help. 

[SheppyFox]

Let's get buying some much needed depth added now.

[MrSpaM]

Think that's our dream of getting in Europe down the pan then but at least we'll probably stay up

[Cropwellfox]

There's no certainty in this sport. Could be an inspired appointment just as readily as a huge disaster. His backroom additions to the team will be critical, as will our recruitment policy, but our support for him just as important too. Congratulations Craig, an English manager appointed into the premier league isn't something that happens particularly often.

• Craig Shakespere signs 3 year deal, Teresa May wins by a landslide Donald Trump to receive an apology from the FBI and all charges dropped. Great day to be a blue.

[Guest Col city fan]

Good, I'm really happy with this decision. 

Now I hope the club doesn't pee about with taking ages over selling the players Shakey don't want and signing the ones he does. 

Im sure this won't be popular with the usual suspects on here, but I'd like to see swift and decisive dealings in the transfer market, not indifference and drawn-out contract negotiations.

Lets ship out those we don't want, and get in those we do.

Deserves the chance now we can concentrate on the Summer ahead, which will literally make or break our chances for next season.

Unnecessary crap. Plus, of course, the Democrats are Blue in the USA.

I can't say I'm comfortable at all with it given how we ended the season, we had a chance to really kick on and get a proper manager in. It seems like a risk not worth taking, unless there really was no other candidates.

[Innovindil]

Best man for the job. 

 

Well done shakey! 

[An Away Move]

Just look what a journey our owners have been on. They sacked Nigel first time round to get a big name manager in Sven to match their ambition. Now they could have got a big name manager but have rather promoted Nigel's old sidekick from within. I like that, Hope it works out for all parties, including us the loyal fans.

[RonnieTodger]

Good stuff. It's a big opportunity, but it's one that he thoroughly deserves. 

[Burmesefox]

I'm shocked! Absolutely shocked.

 

[Ted Maul]

About time, not sure why this took so long. Now let's crack on with assembling a squad capable of challenging for Europe (or comfortable midtable, at least)

What, you mean a 'proper' manager like Sven or Sousa?

 

[NeilLCFC]

Good news. Knows the club inside out and continue building on the foundations that have been laid over the last couple of years, rather than a new manager coming in and changing everything.

 

 

[GaelicFox]

3 years fantastic 

 

 

[Blodge]

Why are we appointing a manager who has the highest win % for a premier league manager, saved us from relegation, knows the club inside and out, helped us reach the last 8 of the CL; giving it a real go, when we could have appointed a big name manager , or someone like Marco Silva who managed to get Hull relegated? Another terrible decision from the owners. ShakeyOUT....

Emoji's would help your comic sarcasm

MUST WIN MUST WIN

[Monk]

Glad it's 3 years and not a year - a statement of confidence by the club for sure. I have no idea how things will go longer term with him in charge but am hopeful we can press on and finish top half next season. 

[Tielemans63]

Can't help but feel this was a rushed decision.

Just reward as well for saving the club from

losing 80m with relegation

Yes agree but a 3 year contract will mean nothing unless he gets the results to take us forward.

 

I really hope he's a success and that we can kick on. We should all get behind him.
