I would as well, but he has the sort of reputation our owners are drawn to. Recently been quoted as saying he has received an offer he will likely accept, I don't think it is beyond the realms of possibility if the rumoured 100 million plus transfer budget is true. He definitely wouldn't stand for funny business from the players. Maybe that's what we need. 

Just as well Hamer is out of contract then.

• Ranieri will 

You don’t remember how we treated the only manager who has won us the title in our history?

Im sure he does.

Not a hope in hell.

The sooner the better just to stop the rot in the dressing room let the players and supporters breath again, salvage what can be salvaged. Play with Ploncquer or Apples as interim let the owners carefully consider their options. At this point although I never was a big fan and it would be admitting to our post-title win failure/ incompetence I'd gladly take Pearson back in, that's how bad it's become. We have 8th biggest budget in the league but we're in relegation form since January and what's worse we play with no heart, no effort. Puel sucked life out of Leicester and has to go. We have a team of zombies and we need a thunderous dilly ding dilly dong call to wake every-****ing-one of them up!

Any idea who?

LVG will probably end up at Everton in the summer cos they got PSG DoF Marcel Brands as their new DoF who is a fellow Dutchman who LVG is friends with.

Perhaps people voting for Puel to stay are thinking that it would, ideally, be fair to keep the manager and allow him to rebuild rather than allowing a disconcerted dressing room to get its way.

 

I assume this is the logic, because in practical terms it seems impossible to keep him when there's such a consummate breakdown in support for him from both the squad and the terraces. It would take a lot more than 6 or 7 signings to restructure this dressing room in a way which might give him a chance. It'd be a massive risk on our part.

 

He needs to take a lot of the blame for that. This happened to him at Southampton, where he implemented things which the squad weren't ready to implement, and which had only really worked for him in a weaker league. Had he learnt from Southampton, or come to Leicester with a greater respect for what had previously worked for Leicester, then the goals might not have dried up and the transition might have been manageable.

 

You can argue that between Appleton and him they initially turned our form around and kept us up (much like Taylor did back in 2000-01 - although Puel can't be accused of unsuccessfully remodelling the squad in the way Taylor did). But the poor second half of the season, erratic match-day decision-making, clear inability to communicate, breakdown in relationships and the way that all this - together with what happened at Southampton - indicates that his methods aren't successful at this level... when you add it all up it makes sense to let him go.

 

It's unfair to blame the squad for seeing off yet another manager. Many of these guys played in the 3-and-half year reign of Pearson and got on perfectly well with him. They won the league as much as Ranieri did, and when he left there were little more than dubious rumours that the players had ousted him. It seemed more likely to me that Ranieri's decision-making - for instance failing to train for systems which were then introduced on the Saturday - had more to do with it than player-chairman meetings which never happened. Add to that the fact that Shakespeare had their backing, and that the current 'trouble-makers' aren't actually the 'old guard' according to insiders like John Percy, and it seems (Mahrez aside) wrong to blame them for anything other than getting older and less effective.

That's not your concern - it ain't coming out of your pocket or any others of the mythical 'we' you quote. The Club and Srivaddhanaprabha have done alright out of it, moneywise, so far. If he wants rid of Puel but doesn't want to pay him off, he could sack the existing Football Operations Director and stick Puel there.

 

Srivaddhanaprabha has to take responsibility for the choices Rudkin and others have made - presumably he's been party to all the appointments. Being a businessman and business owner he should have realised the complexity of the situation he was getting into and the need for effective managers to employ - in order to make those decisions he wasn't qualified to make. He's a big boy - he can suck it up.

 

 

Er, Of course it is not my money, I just refer to everything Leicester City as 'We'. Thought that was obvious.

Not seen us so bad in a while. Even under Ranieri when it was bad we were just inconsistent. Now we just look all over the place.

We were equally as bad in the last throes of Claudio's time here, let's not kid ourselves.

If Fulham don't go up I would go for Slaviša Jokanović.

Got Watford up, Nearly got Fulham up and they should go up this season as they are a really good side.

Swansea (a) 0-2 was desperate considering what was at stake - we went five without scoring !

We haven’t been relegated and are looking for someone to get us back up ..... maybe this time next year !!

It's a shame in many ways that w'eve been safe these last few games then it would get a better indication of whether it's all down to Puel or the the end of season player malaise that so many clubs are showing, Man U v Brighton, WBA v Spurs and now Sunderland 3 Wolves 0.

 

It's ok saying Puel should be able to motivate them but there's plenty of examples of better, proven more successful managers failing to do so.

The Brighton players were flying into tackles on Friday night and I remember thinking that I couldn’t recall our boys doing that for months

can't understand why he can't communicate with the players, show abit of passion like Sean Dyshe, it shows that the guy above you bothers about how your doing ( well it helps me at work when my manager chats to me when I'm working)

That's just his personality I guess. It's not gonna change overnight or most likely ever.

 

His personality resembles our team performances sadly.

They have done but in very short spells, I still say it is down to the players not knowing what they are supposed to be doing, stray passes, taking up strange positions where they are neither far enough forwards to attack or back enough to defend, two players taking up the same position, passing backwards when in good attacking positions or passing forwards when it was ridiculous to do so.

R u saying we should keep puel on?

[Suffolk_fox]

Every team in the relegation zone has had more points in the last 5 games than us.

 

I think that tells us and hopefully the owners everything we need to know about where we are and what is likely to happen next season.

Yes/No I'm saying certain situations make it difficult to make an objective decision. Like the Mahrez incident which based on results seems to have had an effect on the team, then you've got people slagging Puel off for bringing him back when we don't know the circumstances behind that decision.

 

So many factors can affect a team's performance outside the managers influence.

Not just the relegation zone, everyone has got more points than us in the past 5 games.

if the same lot that hold sway in the dressing room stick around then the problem is only going to repeat itself

Even if this is true, he's displayed absolutely no convincing signs that he'll tackle this.

 

I don't think Puel is a rubbish manager, but he's not the right man for this job as it stands.

Makes it more critical! We won the Premier League Title after finishing the previous campaign in Champions League qualification form. Our trajectory is worrying...

I'm still backing him. His record proves he needs time. Man City proved that a title-contender team could take a couple of years and look where they are now.

 

The problem is that the fans are letting the PL win get to their heads.

think if performances were better there would be more support for him to continue as manager, but on the pitch they arent there, tactics, team selection and results....all 3 of late have been compete and utter trash
