Time to stand up and be counted, Who moaned that Puel would bring us boring football

[willie-bell-in-rothley]

When he was appointed many on here were none to pleased , i think its time to hold your hands up, some of the football has been superb.

[Fox92]

People judge stuff wrong, that's life. No need to call them out for it.

 

For the record I always backed the decision to bring him in.

[420Hashish]

I didn't oppose to his appointing because I wanted to see how well he'd do and I was confident he'll succeed because of his history with other teams and that he knew the PL better after Southampton's stint. I'm sure they want him back now. ??

 

I supported Shakey's sacking though because he's more of a PE teacher than a manager.

[Guest the fox]

doesn't matter, we are winning! 

[Izzy]

I'll admit I was somewhat surprised and a little underwhelmed with his appointment.

 

But with any new Manager I'll always get behind them and give them the benefit of the doubt.

 

I'm sure those who moaned and thought his football would be boring are more than happy to hold their hands up. I imagine we're all pleasantly surprised with what we've seen so far - and that's great.

 

Long may it continue...

Not me, never heard of him before he came here

[Great Boos Up]

It is boring. No dog fight relegation scrap, or petrified we will lose the next game and not win the league. No off pitch comedy or innocent headbutting and no chance of a decent sex scandal.

[Matt]

Me.

 

I'll hold my hands up, I have opinions, i'm not afraid to make them known, i'm not afraid to be proven wrong or afraid to admit when i'm wrong.

 

I am slowly warming to him, you cannot argue with how we're playing and you cannot deny it seems like he's massively improved us. Ultimately that is all that matters.

 

People take the piss about people like me saying I can't understand him, I can't, simple as that, contrary to the beliefs of those people thinking people like me want a joker or loads of passion, wrong, I don't, I just wanna hear his views and opinions (Certainly when it's gone wrong - Which hasn't happened too often and hopefully that continues), however he does seem to be getting more comfortable and confident.

Pointless thread, really. 

[Suzie the Fox]

Didnt have any feelings either way tbh. Only really knew of him from Southampton and i didnt think he did that bad. 

 

I sorted wanted Raffa to be our new manager (well simeone too - but knew that was never gonna happen) so i was pretty open minded 

 

Opinions are fine and everyone has them, for those that didnt want him, i'm sure they are pleased to have been proved wrong.

Is he a transgender muslim? 

[Spudulike]

The media are determined to make a story of Leicester fans not wanting him which is, mostly, total bollox.

 

I think some were disappointed as they had been suckered into the hype surrounding the likes of Mancini, Pellegrini and even Ancelotti. However, I think very few were opposed to his appointment especially once they researched his history and what happened at Southampton.

 

From what I can recall, the vast majority were either a bit meh or were in favour despite the stories in the papers.

Say ten Hail Puel's and you are forgiven.

[murphy]

I think that it would be easier to find people who where pleased at the appointment.

 

I was underwhelmed and happy to say I was wrong but all we had to go on was Southampton fans saying that he bored them to tears with drudgery. 

 

He's certainly restoring his reputation.

[Monsell1976]

Was a bit underwhelmed by his appointment, but didn’t know enough about him to comment, but he’s done a great job up until now, long may he surprise us all

[sm1]

I wanted Tuchel or Ancelotti, but once they distanced themselves there wasn't that many options. He was certainly better prospect then Pardew or Hodgson. Overall i trust the owners. Always done the best for us.

[Dan]

I was skeptical because of what the fans of his last club said about him - which for me is always a better indicator than anything those in the media generally have to say.

 

But when I had a deeper look into what he's done before as a manager, Southampton looks like the exception rather than the rule, and when you look at them this year, it makes you wonder if Puel was actually over-achieving with the side he had there. They lost big players and didn't replace them properly, and they're now in a very real relegation fight.

 

Basically, when Puel was 1/6 for our job, I was very concerned.

 

But reading deeper into it with him, he clearly doesn't play boring football. His Nice side were regarded as a very entertaining team.

[fuchsntf]

I never Care what Fans from previous Clubs say.

ITS Like This or any Forum, you only get a snippet of Views,than that of

What actually is the View /opinions from the terraces of the silent majority.

Plus what and how the individual journalists Want to sell their slant on a story,

When interviewing/collecting Views of .....10-20 Fans,or so called fan-spokesman.

Then report thats the Major View of ....wait for it!!!!    25-40 thousand Fans.

 

I for one, never understand the sorryfull critic or negatives of Manager or player

appointments/buys, before they have any Chance to Show their whole billboard of

what they really have to offer, 

giving them time and Space,to have their highs and lows,and how they develope,

and Take in the difficult Times.

Puel,because of his whole Management career, looked for me ... worth a crack.

This in Word of the Moment, "underwhelmed" I thought was quite a  pathetic

attitude that was being taken.

[Chester Dontlie]

I wanted Rachel because I thought we were about to go down...but she distanced herself.. having 'better options' 

Now I'm resigned to puelball... Neverending rows of clean sheets interspersed with occasional five ones...

Let's embrace the 3 points boredom... I look forward to post-FA-cup-win melancholy. Que sera sera as the French say.

I kinda fancy him. Something about that soft dreamy french accent. He'd probably dom the sh*t out of me knowing my luck.
