While this seems like a good move for the club, their inane sentimentality could cause problems in the long run – no matter how long Shakespeare is in charge. How, you may be asking, will Shakespeare’s full-time appointment cause any problems at the club given their Premier League survival under the rookie manager? Perhaps taking the risk on a lesser known leader will work in their favour as it has for many clubs in the past! Sadly, that is unlikely to be the case for the one-time Premier League champions as retaining Shakespeare stinks of a club who are desperate to maintain some semblance of status quo. The club’s owners have had a taste of success with Ranieri and will no doubt be hungry for more but this is simply the beginning of the club’s downfall – another stint in the Championship beckons this time next year. Why? Wholly because the club is so unwilling to change anything from their previous winning formula. The signings Ranieri made in the summer of 2016 went on to make virtually no impact on Leicester City’s matchday squads throughout the season, save for Nampalys Mendy who replaced the departed N’Golo Kante, and this showed a complete unwillingness to change – something the club clearly intend to continue with. Riyad Mahrez has handed in his transfer request and is very unlikely to be a Leicester City player next season. The rest of the squad will no doubt turn out in exactly the same fashion next season thanks to pig-headed, ignorant sentimentality. Should Kasper Schmeichel remain, he will continue as the club’s number one and you can expect to see a back four of Simpson, Morgan, Huth and Fuchs to play in front of him come the start of the 17/18 season. Ahead of them you’ll definitely see four of Mendy, Ndidi, Drinkwater, Gray, Albrighton and whatever right midfielder the club signs in the summer window because Shakespeare doesn’t have ideas of his own. He learned his managerial trade at Leicester, for the most part, and is very unlikely to change anything from what the club already knows and does. Up top, Shakespeare will inevitably stick with the declining Jamie Vardy as his talisman despite the superior performances of Slimani and Okazaki in most of Leicester’s games last season because of pressure from fans and the board needing to justify his large wages – why the club didn’t sell him when Arsenal was eager to buy is beyond me. Clearly, Leicester isn’t interested in revolution, evolution or any kind of change. This is a sign that the club is in decline and, if anything, it shows they are accepting this fate. Some very experienced, proven managers would’ve been tempted by the job role but the Foxes aren’t for turning it would seem. Embracing change got them into the Premier League, sticking with change won them the Premier League, refusing to change will see them relegated from the Premier League.

Captain... Posted 12 June 2017 Share Posted 12 June 2017 Just ignore this kind of shite, click bait twattery, say something shocking spread it around social media, angry Leicester fans click on the link to be even more outraged, all the time funding the spotty little dweeb who wrote it. I'm amazed people still fall for it. The more traffic it gets the more likely we will see this sort of shite repeated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 12 June 2017 Share Posted 12 June 2017 His last sentence Bet he thought he was dead clever with that one. We went up playing the same side playing week in week out and we won the league with the same side week in week out. We nearly got relegated either side of our title win by chopping and changing every week. You half wit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poznan34 Posted 12 June 2017 Share Posted 12 June 2017 What a load of rubbish. Leicestershire based Man Utd fan? Hmm. Being overly sentimental would have been keeping Ranieri past February. "The signings Ranieri made in the summer of 2016 went on to make virtually no impact on Leicester City’s matchday squads throughout the season, save for Nampalys Mendy who replaced the departed N’Golo Kante" - Eh? He played 4 league games, he had no impact at all. "Shakespeare will inevitably stick with the declining Jamie Vardy as his talisman despite the superior performances of Slimani and Okazaki in most of Leicester’s games last season" - ?? Vardy scored 8 league goals since Shakey took over (13 games). In that time Slim and Okazaki got 3 between them. This is just the typical clickbait rubbish that is all too common, and we've all given him the clicks he wanted! Ahh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sputnik42 Posted 12 June 2017 Share Posted 12 June 2017 When we talk about relationship with managers, according to newspapers, club has gone from disrespectful and not emotional to too sentimental in just few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said on here before in the days before wall to wall tv coverage and even more so with easy access to the internet all post match discussions down the pub revolved around in depth analysis of goals and moves something I hardly if ever see discussed. I guess we're all guilty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaelicFox Posted 12 June 2017 Share Posted 12 June 2017 If you can't pick out the good points from the bullshite then you didn't come to the games first half of last season season the writer makes some very valid points to a very valid discussion yes it's negative , yes it's possibly a Spurs fan but are they 100% wrong ? NO ! Wouldn't be surprised if we struggle next season , and Shaky to last the season has to be a long shot based on the owners new found trigger happiness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog Posted 12 June 2017 Share Posted 12 June 2017 Whilst most of that article is a load of rubbish, I agree with the point about being too sentimental hiring Shakespeare who may be too resistant to change next season with fomations, tactics and personnel. There is probably some truth in that, let's see how the season goes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 12 June 2017 Share Posted 12 June 2017 Unwilling to change anything from our once winning formula is a bit harsh. Last year we changed from it, to what I have no idea but whatever it was thank god it's gone. I don't buy that Shakespeare will stick to this current game forever. It can evolve with different players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
