What if we get a new man in and we're not top half by Christmas? Is he going to be gone too? I think the owners are way off the mark if they think we're going to be a top 6 club anytime soon. Pure guesswork, and even with an established manager and depending on the board of directors and depending on the circumstances, you can get relegated. And who said anything about us „going to be a Top Six club anytime soon“? Let‘s see how it works out after the summer, I‘ve had enough of this hypothetical „we‘re doomed without giving Puel a chance“ rhetoric right now. It can‘t be proven and it can‘t be disproven.

foxfanazer Posted 27 April 2018 Posted 27 April 2018 So the managers the only person accountable then? What about the people choosing the managers or the players deciding they don’t buy into the managers ideas Just always seems like the easy solution to bail on the manager after 6 months

I personally think the only reason wes walked back in is because he is captain and our "new manager needed to keep him on side for integration with the squad. Another new manager probably gives wes another 2 years. I understand your views. Probably couldn't go as far as to give up my season ticket but if this does happen, I will be pissed off too and embarrasses and not looking forward to next season again with another summer wasted Edited 27 April 2018 by gw_leics772 1

You mean just like it wasn't the players at Southampton who have since proved beyond doubt that they are the problem and managed to relegate what was once a model club to aspire to. It is possible that it really could be the players both times. The evidence at Southampton since he's left and what we have been discussing about our players for at least 2 years suggests this is far more likely than just saying there's no smoke without fire.

You can't keep players in because they are one of the boys, his system has failed mainly due to the defence unable to adapt and pass the ball out, anyone can see that. If Morgan and Simpson don't like it then train with the U23's and let Puel at least try to get it to work or move back to the championship where they can hoof away until retiring.

He hasn't been strong enough, should have dropped Wes ages ago, and why did he play Matty James ahead of Silva/Iborra at the time was baffling.

Some people don't want to get onside unless is suits them, I'm sure we can all agree Pearson was excellent at building team spirit. But even he couldn't get certain people to be team players and stop sniping in the background. He was given the chance to get rid and bring his own people in. Look at all the pathetic stuff that go chucked around about Pearson "upsetting players", fighting, fall outs, making them train with the youth team, not playing the great like Beckford, Danns etc. History proved him right because he was given the chance, the club didn't listen to fans whine constantly about how upset Matt Mills might be. 3

If we keep sacking managers no one decent will come to LCFC, I say keep Puel and give him a chance, look at where Southampton are now after getting rid of Puel.

As I said, if we're not top half by Christmas is he going to go too? Managers need time to build. There was some poor games under Pearson while he got rid of players and built his own up. It's though though, I do agree with what you're saying and I've seen very little improvement for the past two months or so. Pearson had a history here that gave him credit, plus they bought into what he was doing. The staff at the club all liked him as well. We just don't know what people think of Puel at the club, if the reports coming back aren't glowing about his relationships or how he handles people, or his communication. He might not get the time of someone like Pearson. Only those a the club know enough to make an informed decision. 2

Because they aren't all that and performances haven't improved with him out of the team?

I’ve always wanted our new managers to have their own summer transfer window before judging. I fear though in this instance we’ll spend the massive budget on new players which we should have spent the summer after we won the title and we’ll be left with a terrible style of football and players that dislike the manager. The noises coming out of Puel are all correct in relation to his ambition, the overhaul, the development, the transition in playing style and that makes me want to give him time but the cold hard fact is that the football is rubbish as is much of his decision making to play this style without the right players to do so at the expense of both a European place and the dressing room atmosphere. I wish it wasn’t true but from what I’ve seen so far he’s the wrong manager for us. Go get Wagner please Top.

The DoF appears to be bulletproof. Definitely fair. I don't think Puel was ever the right choice to be honest. He would have been music to Rudkins ears because he would say he'll play the youth team thus strengthening his position and he would also tow the party line which is why I think he got the job. The problem is the structure and until we sort that it'll always be the same, part of the reason that I want Puel to go is that he isn't strong enough to change it. A manager with some balls will try and change it and I hope they'll finally see that bringing in a big character is the right thing to do.

richardsfoxes Posted 27 April 2018 Posted 27 April 2018 The whole thing makes zero sense, why even give him four games to change your mind if you don't believe in him long term. I mean i keep hearing we have all this money to spend on overhauling the squad yet they go for Puel and Shakey before that. Let's wait and see what happens, @Abrasive fox Do you think they have someone lined up?
