Why do people love to hate our manager?

[FoxSinceBirth]

Is it just me or does it seem like a lot of people are hating on Puel. From what I can see we doing well in the league sat in 8th, potential to get a Europa League spot, still in the FA cup, It seems everyone wants to hate Puel. I admit there have been a few strange decisions but bloody hell some people need a reality check!!!!!

Just modern football fans, exacerbated 10 fold in our case with the title win.

Everyone's entitled to an opinion but the most venomous seems to come from people that think they are experts in Management and probably couldn't run Whelk Stall FC if given the opportunity.

Because he's not Nigel Pearson

[weller54]

Because he's an Ostrich? 

[Foxy harry]

I think the lack of charisma he shows in interviews does him no favours.

[artic fox]

I don't think people hate him, l think they hate the way we are playing at the moment,we are like crabs as every pass seems to go sideways. We seem to have lost our way in regards to getting the ball up to our Forwards in a speedy manner.We seem to be passing the ball with no logic,thus allowing the opposition to get back into position! I'm not sure even the players are enjoying it to be honest.

2016 ruined our fanbase. A daft proportion will only ever see what happens here in the context of 2016 from now on.

 

Whatever Puel actually goes on to achieve with us now, the morons have already spoken - they'll never warm to him. Same as the stubborn jackasses who couldn't bring themselves to give Pearson any credit at any point during his two spells in charge.

I usually flick to the match threads while watching. If we're not winning (or looking like battering the oppo) it's grippingly embarrassing. Like a verbal car crash. I know I shouldn't read it but I can't help myself. Some posters really ought to just shout down to their mum for a cuddle.

 

I couldn't help think of the over-reactions to a 1-1 with Bournemouth when I started reading this last night https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0190227354. Here's a quote from a guy on the western front, caught under fire in the woods (he'd already been shot at this point);

I lay for a few seconds wondering where it would get me, the bullets splashing mud all round me. Suddenly I felt as if someone had gently drawn something rather hot along my shoulder and round my throat. This could not have been the bullet as it appeared to me to take quite an appreciable time to get from my left shoulder to the right side of my throat. I think it must have been the blood flowing. Certainly as soon as it reached my throat I began to cough blood through my mouth and nose and felt as if I were choking and everything looked a sort of blue colour. I thought I was done for and wondered how my family would take the news and whether I would know how they took it. I felt aggrieved and angry at the thought of leaving this jolly old world for to me it had always been a jolly place and it seemed hard lines having to leave without seeing Roger and Madge again. However, I prayed to God to hurry the matter up as I was getting very uncomfortable.

The venom I tend to see if from people who never liked him, so I'm not sure that's the case at all.

Utter bollox. Holloway also had the media eating out of his hand. And he was shit.

 

It's all about results.

We are creating more chances that we have for a long time.

Because the interviews and the usual commonplaces that comes with are so relevant to judge a manager.

 Nothing to do with the fact he has won 4 from the last 14, the club has moved on financially over the last 3 years.

So our expectations should rise in line with that.

its not a case of self entitlement, little old Leicester had the 14th highest turnover in world football.

Rejecting 50m for players

It has a lot to do with Southampton fans and lemming effect.

Seems strange how this seems to happen from the 70th minute onwards in the last few matches 

[grobyfox1990]

It's just the minority though, like in any walk of life. This is a forum after all. Nobody is going to open a thread entitled 'I think Puel is doing OK and things are generally alright' eveb though that's presumably what the vast majority of our fans think

Negative people need Drama Like oxygen

     Stay positive

It will Take their breath away..

I feel sorry for him, basically he's took us from the bottom 4/5 to 8th in 4 months. Also to the quarters of both cups and still with a shout of getting into europe. People seem to forget this isn't even his team he's put it together how he wants. I'll admit his interviews are dull but I'm happy where we are. Shock horror were on a bad run but with the expection of the top 4/5 everybody else is.

Have a word. We're eighth in the Premier League and have a decent chance of winning the Cup. We've hit a shit run of form, granted, but all the nobbers going overboard about how we're rubbish to watch and how time's running out for Puel need to give their head a wobble and get a sense of perspective. Half the division would kill to be in our position at the moment, and our fanbase would have too before 2015-16 happened.

[KFS]

To be honest no one hates Puel, they hate all the missed opportunities to capitalise on 2016. We had a great few opportunities to build on great things that have happened over the last few years, but the immaturity and inexperience of those behind the scenes have ruined that.

 

Puel is now in a situation where every missed opportunity against the cack teams we're losing/ drawing to feels like a microcosm of our last two Summer windows and the sacking of Ranieri/ appointment of Shakey.

 

What he needs to do is scrap the memory of 2016 (unfortunately that means players too) and start again. This time with better infrastructure. The training ground plans and u23s starting to perform being two vital pieces to that puzzle. 

 

We all need to refresh and go again, Puel and the squad jncluded. See where we can get in the cup, but bring on next season already.
