If we had a right back capable of attacking like he wants for example we’d be a better team straight away Another ridiculous comment, our squad is decent, the manager has turned them into boring dross, not one of those players suits his methods, look how isolated Vardy has become nowadays, look how average Mahrez has been, whoever we play in midfield it's always too slow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ttfn Posted 26 April 2018 Share Posted 26 April 2018 If true, the idea that you’d give a manager you’ve hired with a long-term vision for the club four utterly meaningless games to determine whether or not he’s the right man says everything you need to know about the people taking the decisions. He’s been here six months. Either you believe in what he’s doing or you don’t. Four dead rubbers shouldn’t make any difference. Exactly the sort of reactionary, short term thinking which saw us waste pre season and the first 2 months with Shakespeare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Beechey Posted 26 April 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 26 April 2018 If he's sacked, we better be willing to spend big to bring someone in and be prepared to give them time, because sacking 2 managers per season will get us relegated. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of Puel he is trying to implement a style that none of our players are suited to, they may never get suited to it and yet the majority of those players on paper are still good enough for Leicester City. A squad overhaul is absolute ridiculous talk, how many changes do we realistically need to make? Maybe two, yet as we saw against Southampton we put in Dragovic, managed to keep a clean sheet yet at the end of the day the performance was still boring and we drew 0-0. We made the right changes against Southampton yet we still remained shit, what does that tell you? Edited 26 April 2018 by kingfox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever identified him and thought he was the right manager for us needs to be held accountable as well though. The thing is though, of all the names that we banded about back in October, it seems that we were lucky to have ended up with Puel. Even if he goes, he's been a decent stopgap. What I will say is that three sackings in fourteen months is absolutely embarrassing, whichever way you look at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacamion Posted 26 April 2018 Share Posted 26 April 2018 Dearie me. Revolving door policy. I was gutted when big Nigel got the push after his lad misbehaved. I thought he deserved to see his project through and that whoever followed him would probably fail. (How prescient, eh... ) In 2016/17, even though we were quite abject and it seemed like we'd already lost every game before we entered the field (except in Europe), I thought Ranieri was perhaps sacked too soon, and I would have given him more of a chance to turn it around. At the start of this season, I thought Shakespeare was the unfortunate victim of a bitch of a fixture list and some bad luck against the big boys (imagine if we'd held onto that lead at Arsenal and the ref hadn't been awful), and that Shakes might, if given time, have turned it around. Now, if the story about Puel is true and he's on the way out, once again I think it's far too soon I can only see short-termism, systemic failure and an eventual return to the Championship for another decade. Given my previous crap predictions, however, I'd lump on us winning the Prem next year under whoever replaces Puel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esoog Posted 26 April 2018 Share Posted 26 April 2018 "Failed to win at home against Stoke Newcastle Southampton and Bournemouth". Thats reason to be terrified definitely. 2) the squad is talented already. Without much tweaking should be top half of table. 3) players just don't like him, have no confidence in him. More than enough reason to sack a manager when confidence is lost. 4) lots of money available with few players leaving. More than what any managers had at their disposal. Can't see players playing for him to save his job the next 4 games. Always been the Puel camp. But can see this a long mile. Had a lovely thread closed on kelechi twitter feed ?. But my point is that players are disengaged with the team, and have reasons to be concerned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we keep sacking managers everytime the players aren't happy no manager here will ever have any authority over the team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it seems to be at that slip up stage now, don't understand why many are on his back when he's probably still evaluating things etc; and plus maybe he has already identified the weaknesses and players he wants to bridge the gaps and has a more focused plan drawn up for next season? Feel as if the PL triumph has made certain fans set up a too high expectations for the team and are disappointed that they've failed to live up with their demands this season/since the end struggle under Ranieri. ....I am fed up of so called "entitled fans" and "over expectant fans" syndrome. We are not over expectant nor entitled we are just fed up of being told, this is the best that we are, can be, should be grateful for and to shut up. The Premier League is weaker than it has ever been, we have so under achieved and he must share the majority of the blame for this. This club is crying out for leadership, someone we can look to with the believe that there is a plan and some sort of connection with the supporters. It seems like arrogance that he has come to the club and has made no attempt to take the club and players along with any vision he has for our future. There is no connection, no sense of goodwill for him and it appears that his disconnect is not deemed to be of any importance to him. His term at Southampton is now being played out at this club and he has not accepted that what transpired last season could have been a learning curve in the art of club management. He appears not to learn from mistakes and continues to repeat the same follies over and over again. I do not believe he can change his mindset, his football style is ingrained and he has an utmost belief that his style will bring success. The problem is unless he can connect with the supporters, the players and more importantly the owners he will be a short term manager as they will not allow him to have more than one season due to his lack of leadership on and off the pitch!!!

Gazza M Posted 27 April 2018 Share Posted 27 April 2018 (edited) Its time the players moved on after this third episode of downing tools in 14 months and not the manager. There are cliques in this squad that need weeding out in my opinion. Edited 27 April 2018 by Gazza M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderHiryu Posted 27 April 2018 Share Posted 27 April 2018 I’m certainly not a fan of the rotating doors policy and think the manager needs more time. However, I would understand why the owners would get rid of him as we have underperformed with Puel in charge and he’s been here for enough time to make more of a difference than he has done. I fully expect the players to down tools for the remainder of the season based on that Percy article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callabinho Posted 27 April 2018 Share Posted 27 April 2018 If he is sacked, then I’m pretty sure we will be relegated. You can’t operate like this unless you’re Chelsea and can part with £100 odd million every pre season. It’s a policy destined to fail. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 27 April 2018 Share Posted 27 April 2018 The players must realise that they need to change things in the way they play. Puel is broadly doing the right things but something is obviously wrong somewhere. the owners and higher management at the club should be able to work that out and make decisions on the back of it. If they sack puel it will surely be with evidence. I don’t believe we would be relegated under him next season. However, I have no idea who will come in because clearly we could be relegated if they make a bad choice (eg soton) so they have my reluctant backing to get rid (I’m sure they will be delighted to hear this) but only if they get someone who is better than he is (more communicative for sure though that isn’t the most Important factor).

I’m not convinced anyone new could sort it out, given the fact there is a World Cup in the summer, it makes the logistics just that extra bit more difficult. And looking at previous appointments it’s clear the board sack without any identified targets..... you simply can’t operate like this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
