jayfox26 Posted 20 October 2017 Posted 20 October 2017 Always a risk attached with getting foreign managers, especially if they've never managed in the prem before. For every Marco Silva there is a Frank De Boer or even a Bob Bradley. To be fair Bradley might not be a good example as anyone thinking an American could manage a premier league club is very stupid. But there is also a risk attached with the likes of Dyche. While hes worked wonders at Burnley, what would he do with many pound notes to spend? What we need and what we will get i fear will be two different things. What we need is a Benitez type who could attract players and take us forward as he is vastly experienced at different levels of the game. What we will get is Dyche or someone similar. While I'm not totally against Dyche, as he could be a top manager for us, it can be big jump going from Burnley with little expectation and happy finishing 17th, to Leicester where the expectations of the fans and owners are to be comfortably finishing mid table and pushing towards Europe. However we do need someone who will come in for the long haul and re shape the club and bring a fresh approach and ideas, so maybe Dyche is that man. Owners have a very tough decision to make as i feel the fans will turn against them if they make a poor appointment
walkerleeds Posted 20 October 2017 Posted 20 October 2017 Sadly Rudkin doesn't play FM so 90% on that list won't be considered on this occasion..

Lenny Glover, Keith Weller, Frankie Worthington to name but three of that team. Used to get 30k+ crowds at Filbert Street against the big teams in those days as well.

Brian little was about the same age i think, and MON was only about 40. Seems like we do okay when we take a chance on promising young managers.

I too have read the list of FourFourTwo's top 50 managers. https://www.fourfourtwo.com/fft-50-managers Bakhar's done a pretty good job with Be'er Sheva but managing an Israeli side is quite a bit different to managing in the Premier League, especially coming in mid season. The language barrier isn't a huge issue but I've not seen anything that reveals he can speak English - too left field of an appointment. Alamda's done well with Barcelona but they're the dominant force in Ecuadorian football and have been for a long while, there's plenty of good managers in South America but the style of play is quite dissimilar to European and especially English football, additionally he's widely tipped to take over the Uruguay job when Tabarez packs it in, maybe a good appointment but it's far too risky because of stylistic and cultural differences. Marco Silva's a brilliant manager and after reading up on what he did at Estoril I was amazed and would have been happy for him to take the job in the summer but why the **** would he leave Watford after being in the job for what? 4 months? Especially as they're flying he wont be tempted to leave just yet and I can imagine there being a lot of bigger and better suitors after him in the summer so why take the (at the moment) backwards step to join us? It'd cost shitloads to pay the compensation as well, money's not exactly an issue but we can't continue to be so lavish with our spending. Again Alonso's done well with Pachuca amongst some South American sides too but Liga MX is actually pretty well so he'd be on a wedge and I really can't see him jumping ship to us, much more likely to go into a job with a sizeable Spanish club in the future. Also can you see our board coming up with a name like this? Because I definitely can't. Eddie Howe? Bournemouth's his club he left once and went almost immediately back. Probably more attainable than the others and he's done a decent if not overstated job keeping them in the league but his transfer dealings are inexplicably worse than ours and they're perennially wet at the back. I wouldn't hate this appointment but is it likely to happen? Probably not when we've seen an out of work Allardyce ruling himself out. Berdyev did an outstanding job with Rostov but took over Rubin Kazan, again, in the summer where he loves the club, no way he leaves. Senol Gunes is a name I might have mentioned once in the past, good manager but Besiktas are in the Champions League and actually doing really well, it'd be a big step down to move to us, one league title hasn't actually made us any more attractive than the other mid table PL clubs, unfortunately. Benitez? Ashley's selling up, Newcastle are a bigger club who are currently a lot better than us. Why would he leave? What would be better about managing Leicester than Newcastle? He's already loved up there and despite some rumblings in the summer there's not much chance he leaves for a long while now - and especially not to us. This is probably the most entitled shout of all. Berizzo like a few others literally just moved in the summer, a) why would he leave a good Sevilla side so soon and b) why on earth would he move to our joke of a club? Unai Emery, are you on the fücking wind up? Rui Vitoria? Yeah, we're a much more attractive proposition than former champions of Europe, Benfica. Hasenhuttl - as much as I detest RBL, if you were a manager you'd be delighted to be working for a club with almost boundless resources with massive upwards mobility. No ****ing chance. Luis Enrique isn't going to go from being Barca manager to Leicester manager, it just won't happen. Going from coaching Messi and Suarez to trying to get Huth and Morgan to play elements of positional play and bring the ball out of the back. Hahahahah. Marcelino. Valencia are flying. Valencia are much bigger than Leicester. Valenica's a nice place. Gian Piero Gasperini's Atalanta team are really good, probably one of the more realistic shouts but that's mostly because the others are delusional I'd be extremely surprised if we even approached him let alone he somehow rocked up here. Gallardo's achieved a lot in Argentina, if he moves to Europe it's not going to be a mid season jaunt to Leicester. Favre is a possibility, a really small possibility, I'd be delighted but probably doesn't happen, which is a shame. I've been a condescending dickhead there but I'm fed up of the fantasy I'm reading on here and on twitter, we're a middling PL club that in the view of others sacked a manager that achieved the impossible which doesn't look good even though it was necessary. We're about as attractive as Stoke or West Ham which we might not like to hear but it's true.
