ARM1968 Posted 18 October 2017 Share Posted 18 October 2017 Sean Dick would be a sideways step. If we want to progress we collectively need to put away these security blankets. If the owners want to genuinely move forward then a top manager and a wedge in January is essential. Forget Sean Dick and Sam the Big man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget Sean Dick and Sam the Big man. Who? It's alright saying we want a top manager but who will come here? Tuchel has turned us down and would prefer to sit around than come here. Ancelotti probably won't even batter an eyelid at us. Top managers want top clubs. They're already filthy rich so throwing money at them doesn't work either. We are in the bottom 3 and have owners who are known to sack a manager. Can't see any "top" manager coming anywhere near us. Hardly any available either.

I would prefer him over Dyche tbh. He might feel now is a good time to get out too as Bournemouth have started poorly. If he gets relegated with them, then his stock will drop quickly.

City1884 Posted 18 October 2017 Share Posted 18 October 2017 Here’s my oddball list of managers that could end up being in the frame, make of it what you will........ Aitor Karanka Steve Bruce Gary Rowett Guus Hiddink Carlos Carvalhal Garry Monk I think a couple of these are the ones that are more likely to come to the fore in the next few days, when Dyche rules himself out.

Currently at Fulham, but has done well everywhere he's been - including winning the Thai league. Agreed, I suggested him when we got rid of Ranieri and we're stalling over Shakespeare. He's got all the makings of a fantastic manager. I'd welcome the appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 18 October 2017 Share Posted 18 October 2017 Top proven managers won't come to Leicester, stop being delusional. People available to us as those at smaller overperforming clubs at our level, out of work (for being crap) managers, or someone from lower/foreign leagues who are unproven here but fancy a crack in England and aren't already at a decent club. Top managers is the sense of top quality, proven almost guaranteed good appointment managers don't tend to fall into those categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All guess work as figures aren't released. Claudio was apparently on 1.5 Million before the title win. So getting a bumper contract to 3 million would make sense and I guess Shakey asked for the same terms. Bare in mind, we went on that impressive run straight after Shakey took over. I think looking at that list, it is unlikely, but then again, it is still only 58k a week, which when you consider what Vardy and a few others are getting, it might not be that of a stretch to believe. The owners have certainly never been tight with their money. With the owners wealth though and seeing how Stoke, West Ham and Palace are all paying their managers over 2 million, then I would have thought our owners would be certainly comfortable paying someone around the 3 million mark. Whether Shakey got that, who knows. Claudio probably did though after the title win. Dyche and Howe should really be using us to get a new deal at least. They are well behind the others and doing a better job in some cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfoxes Posted 18 October 2017 Share Posted 18 October 2017 After reading some posts on twitter and other reports in the press it seems as if there are two main candidates for the job as Ancelotti has said he wants a time off Big Sam wants a bumper pay day in the good old USofA and Mancini has said no, so it looks as if the two candidates that seem to be on the forefront are Chris Coleman who’s left the Welsh job and Sean Dyche who commutes from Northampton on a regular basis from his family Home to Blurlnley Lancashire! After reading some articles it seems he’s actually mentioned he’s interested for two reasons 1 Leicester’s only about 45min away and he also thinks we are a better prospect and a more ambitious club than Blurnley !! Really hoping the owners sit down and have long hard thoughts about who to put in the hot seat and really hoping Rudkin Fuchs off And has no input whatsoever in choosing the right man for the job, Infact I just wish Rudkin would take his useless incompetent Arse and FUCH off right out of Leicester City FC with Appleton’s Boot up his sad Ass !!

fuchsntf Posted 18 October 2017 Share Posted 18 October 2017 My concern , is how the owners are going to approach the business in hand. Are they going to outsource the search, then take it on only when a short-list is presented. Will they be out of Europe believing Skype or other distant communications will suffice. IMO, we need them to get their hands dirty,and a commited European presence . I have no confidence in the board because the dawdling and non commitment dealing with CS appointment. The negative come from past observations, and Allowing a complete decimation of what NP built up, and destruction of everything good he set up. I wouldnt be too set back if NP returned, but I would like to see a descision on a manager who can take us again that next step further, and then hold and stabilise... One thing we have to realise...We have returned to being just an average club, so we need someone c with a long time vision..5yrs plus, who is prepared to rebuild, with good, but not top financial clout. We aint a Man.city, and cant afford to throw mangagers about until we find a good one, plus a large pool of quality, after the top 14-15 players we cant carry.So youth needs to be motivated.. We need instant small-time success, waiting until January cant be an option. I hope the bosses, took it on themselves to meet with Appleton, telling him of still wanting to realise positive targets, not to allow any dispirited drudgery....

Recently successful with Wales. Can handle big name players (Bale, Hal Robson-Kanu). Previous successful Prem experience with Fulham... Just finished 3rd in a truly crap group for the World Cup, these days it's easier to qualify than not for major tournaments.Had a lucky run in the Euros,even p*** poor England beat them for gods sake, track record at club level is poor but apart from that really fits the bill.
