So you are saying we will have a new manager in before Saturday then? This is LCFC you are talking about remember. The problems lie alot deeper than the manager.
Babylon Posted 17 October 2017 Posted 17 October 2017 Time for the club to stand up and make a progressive decision.
lgfualol Posted 17 October 2017 Posted 17 October 2017 ****ing hell I think he should have been sacked but didn't think the owners would pull the trigger so early. Rudkin next please, before he employs some absolute melt who we will end up sacking in 5 months. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE IT TO APPLEBOTTOM JEANS

ultrafox Posted 17 October 2017 Posted 17 October 2017 Remember the first match vs Liverpool after Raneri was sacked. One of our best displays. What was it someone said today. The Dead Cat bounce? Swansea will be an interesting match to look forward to now (I was dreading it)
davieG Posted 17 October 2017 Posted 17 October 2017 In effect sacked by the backroom guys ineptness.

He'll just hire him as his assistant haha. I say that jokingly, but with us being the Harchester of real life, it'll probably happen.
cityfanlee23 Posted 17 October 2017 Posted 17 October 2017 Thankyou for your hard work and dedication Shakey. You are one of the best investments this club ever made for your work as assistant, many times when the boat has been rocked you've been a stabilising factor through transitions. However as a manager you were found out at this level, I've no doubt one day you'll be back managing this level, but first you need to drop a division to ply your trade as a manager. All tbe best.
Harry - LCFC Posted 17 October 2017 Posted 17 October 2017 Thought they might have given him a few more games to improve our position but ultimately I'm not that surprised. Disappointed as I think he would've made the necessary changes given the chances but I don't feel broken like I did with Pearson or Ranieri. The obligatory list of thank yous: - The magnificent performance against Sevilla at home. My favourite ever game? Not sure, but bloody close if not. - A great effort against Atletico Madrid. It takes some ability and charisma for a manager to have the team come out and batter Atletico the way we did in the last 45 minutes of the tie. - Turned our league campaign around as we slid towards trouble in February. - No doubt played a significant role behind the scenes in the 13/14, 14/15 and 15/16 seasons - all of which were enormous triumphs for this club. Craig, thank you. You aren't as popular as Claudio or Nige but I know you've done a fair bit for us, chap.
adam Posted 17 October 2017 Posted 17 October 2017 Sad news but definately the right call. Time for the club to show a bit of ambition now. We need a clear out of all the backroom staff and Rudkin too. Lets start again.
SheppyFox Posted 17 October 2017 Posted 17 October 2017 WAHEYYYYY!! Get rid of his beady eyed second in command too, and Rudkin and the crap recruitment team!

Sad it didn't work out and he's been stitched up by Rudkin who I hope also goes. I'd have given him another couple of games, but the owners will have their ear to the ground at the club and things can't have been good for them to act so quickly. All the best Craig... now please god can we do some sodding research this time. Was set up to fail, as wasn't experienced enough, should have had an old experienced head with him, and amateur stuff above him. I agree, time for the under performing employees at all levels need clearing out, clean house, fresh start.
StriderHiryu Posted 17 October 2017 Posted 17 October 2017 Just now, TiffToff88 said: they'll be relegated next season then Maybe! According to a friend in France he's been easily the most impressive manager in the league though. Nantes had a poor team with little investment and their chairman is a bit nuts. But after losing their first two games they've been unbeaten since. He'll never come back (nor do I think it's a good idea), but despite how bad our form was last year, Claudio is a great manager on his day as we all know :). Optimistically I'd hope for Tuchel or Ancelotti, reality is Allardyce or Pardew. I like Craig Shakespeare but he did look out of his depth sadly as a number 1. Whoever comes in next needs to change our style. If we have another 442 merchant we will struggle to make top 10.

Guest Posted 17 October 2017 Posted 17 October 2017 Need to spunk a ton of cash on the only man who brings enough of a name to keep our players here, being in better quality in the future and guide us towards the top again: Benitez.

Swarles Barkley Posted 17 October 2017 Posted 17 October 2017 I am more confident we have someone lined up this time than after ranieri. I feel we wouldnt have been this urgent with the sacking had we not have
m4DD0gg Posted 17 October 2017 Posted 17 October 2017 One down and one to go in Rudkin the wonder pony then hopefully we can get back to where we should have building to 18 months ago after winning the league.....a top 6 team.

ZeGuy Posted 17 October 2017 Posted 17 October 2017 Wow, quite shocked that it went so quickly. I gave him until the end of the month. Really sad for him but the writing was on the wall. Who's gonna take over then?
