didn't he leave Burnley due to being home sick for the south coast?

Think his mum died while he was at Burnley and he wanted to move back to the coast to be with his family, perfectly understandable to be fair.

I do think Leicester fans in general like having a manager who builds a togetherness and team spirit, and we like that connection with a manager. I think Wagner would do that but it would be a bit of a gamble, but would rather that than one of the merry go round managers.

This for me, sick of seeing the same managers go from club to club. Would much rather give someone like Wagner a chance

[suffolk fox]

David Wagner will not leave Huddersfield in order to manage us, especially if he keeps them up.  Why would he?  If we sack Puel who honestly and realistically would want to come? 

 

Our club is in a mess both on and off the pitch at this moment in  time.  Does anyone really trust Mr Rudkin to get things right re playing staff and managerial appointments.  I am pleased some on you on this forum have faith in him because I do not.

 

Its all very well saying sack Puel oh another manager gone but who in their right mind would want to come.  Media reports of player unrest,  disharmony do not help but many believe the rubbish they often write.

 

 

[les-tah]

Whats the point in getting a new manager with some of the current players? The dont like change. No one will come here until certain players leave the club.

Money talks and managers are ego-driven. We're offering big wages and a big budget at an established Premier League club, there will be plenty of managers who believe they can be the ones to turn the club around and be 'better' than the last guy.

The club is not in a mess it does have a challenge to manage expectations of the owners and the fans.

 

internally the club has gone through huge change and the pace to keep up is extremely challenging but we are in very good, balanced capable hands who are building the infrastructure for the future - stadium, training ground etc.

 

We won the league two years ago with a squad that peaked except for a few - Kante, Mahrez and Vardy all have grown since and we were always going to have a challenge in moving to the next level.

 

Two appointments one in sentiment and another to do a job now need correcting with a quality appointment to change, build and develop the first team squad.

 

Despite CP being completely the wrong fit the job and club is massively attractive with great plans to grow.

 

i would be more worried if we give the CP the transfer window and the Summer but don’t believe that will happen!

Short term money and a ruined career when he eventually gets sacked in 12 months time when players down tools and finishing 14th in the premier league with the fans still screaming for Wes Morgan to be dropped after starting 38 games straight in 2018/2019 campaign.

It is clear that the club is planning a major overhaul of the playing staff this summer. Whoever is in charge will have the opportunity to shape the team in the way he wants. The question is whether Puel has done enough to show that he can be trusted with that task. Keeping him and replacing him are both risks - do we stick or twist? Personally I think we should twist, but it's not my decision... 

[Corky]

I'd be ok with it. I have little faith in us doing an extensive search for a manager so Wagner is probably attainable.

We really aren't that much of a mess. The sackings have dented how people view us, but it's still a great project. Money to spend, new training ground and stadium expansion potentially. 

 

The aim is to be the best of the rest, challenge for the odd euro spot and establish the club. With the aim of becoming as big as the likes of Everton and Newcastle.

 

I'm desperate for the expansion to get a set in stone date. That really sells you as a club striving for the next level. Managing a club getting 40k+ in this league is a big jump from getting say 24k like Huddersfield, or less at others.

 

Winning the title could actually stop us getting who we want for years, they'll think the fans and board expect too much and they'll think it's a thankless task, that's one of our biggest barriers.

A 'ruined' career? Bit dramatic. Management is a short term game - they come and go all the time. Some get sacked unfairly, some get sacked after being total shit - the average tenure of a Premier League manager is only about 12 months.

 

You're acting like we have some ridiculously high managerial turnover - we had a caretaker in charge who took over full time after Ranieri, which was probably a mistake, and we've appointed Puel which just doesn't seem like it's working out after a prolonged period of poor results and performances. Would hardly say we've been trigger happy since winning the league.

One of Puel's major downfalls in my opinion. Even when we were doing well when he first arrived, it was difficult to see any type of connection with him and the players, as well as the fans. 

 

 

[Ted Maul]

I watched some of their game at Man City at the weekend and it struck me how much his style would suit us- pressing, hunting in packs, forcing errors and winning the ball high up the pitch. If they had more quality to be able to exploit the space they were finding with the ball, they would be much higher up the table. They're basically everything we should be in terms of philosophy and mentality.

 

I just get the feeling we need someone with a bit of charisma to get the group fighting for the same cause again, everything just seems so disjointed at the moment.

 

Would he leave Huddersfield if they stay up? I'm not sure, but he'll be looking to move to a bigger club at some point surely.

 

We'd get him easy if they went down.

Because Leicester are a bigger club with more money and better players and with far greater potential than Huddersfield? It honestly comes down to how ambitious any prospective candidate is, and whether they are confident enough in their own ability. The fact we have a reputation for sacking managers would only put off managers that aren't good enough anyway. If Wagner stays with Huddersfield if we approach him, then I would genuinely assume that he isn't ambitious enough to manage Leicester and he also doesn't believe he is good enough to manage at a higher level. In which case I wouldn't want him anyway.

I have a feeling they may get a point tonight. I think he would still be interested in joining us though, although he did talk recently about owing Huddersfield and their chairman a lot of gratitude. 

 

I'd still prefer Marco Silva or Eddie Howe but Wagner is an interesting prospect and preferred to the likes of Big Sam! I still think he may be too negative though, as even in the championship, they went up with a -2 GD.

Generally I agree but the celebrations after the Mahrez goal against Bournemouth suggested at that moment the squad was behind him and still together. But since then, as confidence has dropped Puel has been unable to remotivate and stop the rot from setting in.

I would like Eddie Howe, but Marco Silva is a bit of a myth in my eyes- did okay with a Hull side who were already down and had Watford midtable for a while before he decided he wanted to leave.

This is the question that needs to be asked and talked about.

No brainer for Wagner if they get relegated

Edited 9 May 2018 by esoog

I'm waiting for the thread wanting us to sign the WBA guy now that they're relegated. His record is far superior.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

If they go down, I think we could get him. If they stay up, I don't think we would.

If we go after a manager fresh off the back of a relegation in his first and only season in the Premier League then I would seriously question the ambition and thoughts behind that appointment. Having said that I'm not overly keen on going after a manager that has guided a newly promoted team to 17th (so far). Its not exactly an achievement that deserves positive recognition, its just like 'meh, not too bad I suppose'. 

[cityfanlee23]

If Wagner can bring in Schindler, Lossl and convince Mooy to sign for us on a permanent then GERRIMIN

If this were to turn out to be the case, I'd be happy with that in all honesty.
