Which manager could we attract?

Either way we need a change, we are definitely in a relegation battle the players look bemused on the pitch. 

 

I suspect some some of them cannot be bothered or have lost respect with Shakey.

I suppose my point more than anything else is that heads should be rolling at the top. You've got people between the manager and the board who are recultant to change more than anything else. 

 

I'd also question if the players really have the hunger any more too. A lot of them had been good servants but they are cruising at the moment. There's a severe lack of leadership on the pitch also.

Eddie Howe.

 

Get in a better DOF too, so that they can work together to find players (ie not overspending).

 

At least Howe will play good football and it'll be fast and attacking.

Won't come along with Benitez. We are at an equal footing to any of those clubs currently. No attraction to leave and work with snakey Rudkin. 

 

Just thinking of the conversation now. 

 

'Hi Eddie. Bournemouth have agreed compo and your wages have tripled. I'm the Director of Football' 

'Sorry. What's your name?'

'Jon Rudkin' 

'Who? What was your football career? What track record do you have of running a football club at the top level? Were you involved with signing Silva?'

Woy?

Someone else said that about Tuchel in another thread. What have you heard?

 

Hes in talks with Bayern according to the German press

Dortmund players were openly slating him in live tv interviews. Didn't look after certain players and there was no relationship there between manager and players. Not what we need right now .

It's easier to get rid of a manager than the players and tbh the players we have yes they aren't top 6 standard but certainly for sure if they played to there full potential would be in the Europa League position, the Thais may see the likes of Rudkin/ Whelan/ Marcia as golden and would forgive him/ her for the odd mistake or two but I am in agreeance with you, you have to ask yourself are these people premier league level? Are they competent in their roles? Do they understand football? You could argue Macia as the only one. Football isn't just a buisiness.

 

The Thais need to reflect big time, changes should have been made in the summer to rejuvenate our club.

Rafa.

Ancelotti, Tünchel or Simeone - I assume we are discussing the next Bayern Manager?

 

Rafa or I'd take Moyes

really? Can't help but think about his motivational methods at Sunderland, we'd need Samaritans on a hot line imo.

[desertfox2]

Manuel Pellegrini? He's over in China at the moment.

Not many. Lack of faith in the subsequent appointment is what makes me want to give Shakespeare more time.

We'll be able to attract even less once we're in the relegation zone and we push the panic button.

 

And we'll be able to attract even less in a year's time when we're no longer seen a as club with great potential, but a regressing club who can't get out of a rut and the owners have grown tired of spending money on.

 

That's why we need to get rid of Shakespeare now, before he rips up everything the club had built between 2012-16.

[Chico1958]

Has anyone come to the realistic conclusion to this question

 

It's not the manager it's the players

 

For me Silva or Wagner would have been the ideal solution in the break but it didn't happen

 

Rafa would be a great shout but for now I see the nob waiting in the wings as the only one who'll get the job

 

[Sharpe's Fox]

Chris Wilder for me.

Assuming he's still available if/when they can Shakespeare, they'd still have the 1 obvious merry-go-round choice left, one who'd definitely sign up - Allardyce.

I have no doubt what so ever that Allardyce would keep us up but my biggest fear is that we become one of those clubs who is happy to do just that every year and I really think we ought to be aiming for more.

 

I think that's a way you'd possibly keep Shakespeare at the club too, although having given that some thought I'm starting to wonder if he commands any respect at all. We may have tainted it with him for good.

Case and point - if we wait until we're seriously worried about relegation then we end up with a survival merchant and that doesn't really improve our situation at all.

 

Shakey was appointed to keep us up and he did that - like an Allardyce. He's the regressed the team with a boring, negative, one-dimensional playing style that doesn't suit the players we have and is extremely limited - like an Allardyce.

 

There's no point sacking Shakespeare in a panic and then appointing exactly the same sort of manager. Pearson, Allardyce, Pulis, they're all the sort of names we need to be avoiding.

 

We need a progressive, forward thinking manager with positive tactics. Someone who likes their teams to press high up the pitch and attack with pace and numbers. That's the football we used to play and it's still the football we should be playing, especially as it doesn't require great players to get a lot of success.

 

For that reason I would take Wagner. I'm open-minded to several other names mentioned in this thread. What's most important is their philosophy.

Bielsa hasn't had the best of seasons so far and attracting criticism already from the fans there!

Would take him  here like a shot ..... Has a great reputation amongst his 'ex' players as a hard but fair coach who's tactically very good !

Problem is, I'm not sure our team suit his style of play, it would be a complete revamp, and he would need a summer to get it right. 

 

You'd need to offer him a massive kitty.

 

I'd take him no doubt.

People are saying Rodgers, that's the Rodgers who lost the plot at Liverpool!

[dannythefox]

We still have a manager, the next 5 games are against bottom half sides let's see where we are after them before we start thinking about a new gaffer.

He came 2nd with Liverpool and had them playing some of their best football in the last 2 decades. 

 

Liverpool is a poisoned chalice, comparing Leicester to Liverpool is a bit silly, I'd kill to have this club in their position.

He also took them to their joint highest finish in the last 25 years.

 

Ranieri lost the plot here too but I'm bloody glad we appointed him.

Problem is, if we come out with hardly anything, thats 5 massive games thrown away. 

The 2 games we should have dominated, Bournemouth and Huddersfield, ended up with us getting played off the pitch.

Why? What difference does it make?

 

His management style is wrong for the club, the next 5 games make no difference. Even if we win all 5 it will only be papering over the cracks.

 

Long term this is a situation that will not work. The approach to matches is wrong, it will continue to be wrong and we will pay for not acting quickly enough.

I've read Ancelotti and Howe and whoever.

 

If we could have gotten a decent manager we wouldn't have settled for Shakey for this year. We reached out and got nothing. Accept it we're not as interesting as some make out.

I find it hard to believe that any Premiership team can only attract their assistant manager who has no previous managerial experience.

Not to mention all the staff he brought in who have subsequently been lost or thrown away, the gems of Mahrez, Vardy, Cambaisso to name but three.

 

What an utter nob, wish he'd never come to this club, wish we were still in League One and never got out of there, maybe even fell further down the league pyramid just for a laugh like.

 

 

If you can't see the good this man did for our football club and would rather focus on the bad then you really are an Ostrich, you don't deserve to support this club in the Premier League and ultimately don't deserve to be supporting a club who has won the Premier League - whilst he had 'nothing' to do with the title win per se, he laid the foundations for it, without him we probably wouldn't be in the Premier League and i'm quite confident in saying we wouldn't have won it.

 

I'm not saying we'd have won it if he was in charge, again i'm confident in making such a statement that we wouldn't have. I'm a big enough man to admit that (It's stating the obvious tbh) but the anti-Pearson brigade give him no credit whatsoever and it amazes me.

So if we won the next 5 it wouldn't make a difference? Take it your one of the fans that would never be happy. This is Leicester it's never easy and most of the time we make it hardwork for ourselves. We will struggle to attract anyone if we just keep sacking managers.
