We aren't going to get Wenger, Conte or Zidane. 

Blanc is unlikely. 

Here is a list of available managers.

 

Lambert

De boer

Pardew

Bilic

Moyes

Allardyce

Ranieri

Henry

Di Matteo

 

If i've missed any feel free to add, but to those who want Puel out, who the hell do you want in?

 

We need to find the new next Pep Guardiola will the owners bank roll a top manager of his status to go with their ambition?

Dyche has not been mentioned as much of late is there a reason, just a thought Roberto Mancini or Rafael Benitez decent pedigrees could turn us round and keep us the right end of the table.

 

Its a bit of a shame really all the negativity from the pundits and Southampton fans when we appointed Puell the boring football and boring interviews, he just doesn’t have the air of a successful manager he’s had 40 odd games in charge of the foxes some great some not so great most were saying give him time to bring in his own team and develop what we have, but he’s spent a large wedge over the last couple of windows trouble is he’s not really played them sent one on loan without even kicking a ball for the foxes a defender with a great pedigree which hasn’t been near the first team only keeping faith with old Wes who’s caused a few cockups along the way two European champions in Silva and Iborra who can’t seem to get a game for love nor money.

He’s using Gray as a forward completely out of position who knows what’s going through his head when he picks the team tells them how to play he’s not really helped himself but hey it’s definately been a rollercoaster with CP in charge so now it’s just time to see how long he can stay in the hot seat before the owners get nervy and bring in “le Guillotine “ especially after the display of his team and the result today have the owners had enough as some fans have we can all but wait and see I for one just hope we can turn things round I’m not champing at the bit for another title win just an honest hard fought performance from the Leicester City team we all know and love and know they can produce, will it be with CP who knows but at the moment he is our manager and deserves our support until the time  the owners call time on his time at LCFC.

A lot of the people on here going on about the style and a project, blah blah blah, are probably the same people who left early most games last season... and let's not forget the early walkout on the 'lap of honour game!'

 

I would just like to see a Leicester team defend properly. Sod the build up, Eddie Howe gets a lot of praise for that, but he went more direct today as he saw our weakness.

Puel is just a poor mans Wenger, will never change system to defeat an opponent, it will be the same set-up every week and same tactic. When you are one of the best teams in the country, you can do it, but we simply, are not.

 

Games this season we have lost:

Utd and Liverpool we had a lot of possession and 'were the better team'... but at what point did we really look like scoring... it took a ball to ricochet off the post onto Vardy's head against Utd and Alisson to gift us a goal against Liverpool to get on the scoresheet. Possession, without carrying a threat, doesn't mean we played well!!

Today... well just utter b*******'s, especially defensively. Maddison always made himself available, but there were no other options than Vardy. Gray, was again, useless. He must be one of the most overrated players in the league, possibly in our history.

 

The games we have won... Maguire scored from outside the box from a pot shot that went through a cumbersome centre back. Take your rose tinted glasses off, we were terrible, even against 10 men, we wasted most of the opportunity passing the ball sideways. When that didn't work, we just gave the ball away and invited Southampton onto us.

 

Against Wolves... no-one can honestly say we deserved to win that... Doherty headed into his own net after they hit the woodwork twice, we then scored from a deflected shot that was never going in until that slice of luck. We were dominated at home.

We have had 4-5 good games with the Fraud in charge, but that's ok, because Chilwell plays and so does Gray… oh oh oh Puel haters, they've both been called up by England... due to injury to others...

"Oh oh oh our style of play is better because we have more possession"... when we won the league we had the lowest amount of possesion, and everyone was giving it back to opposition fans saying possession isn't what wins games... but apparently now, it means we were unlucky to lose?

 

Open your eyes, look back at the results and the performances again and seriously ask whether Puel is actually the right man and whether you are convinced he has made enough of a positive impact ON THE FIELD, not just off it.

 

As this is a post with who should replace him with... There is only one manager I would consider at the moment... He is English... he likes to play with possession, which is what you all want apparently, but with some bloody substance! He has brought through youth (which again seems to be a must)…Dean Smith at Brentford... If our owners insist on a 'name' then I fear for us this season, It'll be a rollercoaster as per usual.

Look how long it has taken Klopp, look how long it has taken Howe in the premier league. 

 

I know he wont get the time, but that’s what it takes. 

 

This is modern day football though so we’ll more than likely have some other ****er in within a few weeks.

 

Having said that. Win one lose one probably takes us to 8th at the end of the season so perhaps that’s all that’s required from the board? 

Eh up mate where we having this pint ;)

 

I did ask for Howe after we sacked Ranieri and although I like Howe and how he plays attacking football, I don't think he'll leave Bournemouth again.

He'd only leave them for the top six or Everton. Can't see any offers coming in from them anytime soon.

The criteria for a new manager

 

1) a track record of investing in young players

2) willing to play 3-4-1-2 or adapt to the strengths of your squad

3) capable of blending different styles of football. Both counter attacking and being comfortable in possession when required

4) has more than 10 englishes phrases and sentences to use in press conferences and interviews

5) a motivator

 

Any ideas of such a man?

Point one is probably the biggest stumbling block.

The biggest question is what direction do we head in?

Do we persist with trying to be a team that has a majority of the ball and that wants to bring through young players?
OR

Do we revert back to type and get a manger in who will make us hard to beat and will take us back to the predominently counter-attacking route?

The thing is, Puel has now been here for close to a year and has now had a full pre-season to work on his strategy.

One could say that the whole of last season's period between February and May was one big experiment.

 

I don't see any red line connecting the league performances so far, apart from the fact that one full-back likes to play winger, leaving his whole right-hand side fully exposed for opposing attackers to thrive in, and that Maddison is a wonderful player as an attacking midfielder, but I'm not sure one striker alone up front is the answer. We need more attacking threat, Gray blows hot and cold again after a great pre-season and Ghezzal hasn't truly been able to leave his mark on the pitch, comes across as a phantom at times.

 

Do we really need two defensive midfielders behind Maddison at all or shouldn't we go for a diamond with two outside midfielders and two attackers instead?

 

4-2-3-1 it is apparently, but we look like an assortment of football players rather than a unit. And where's the leadership?

That's both irritating and somewhat frightening.

I hate this "but who's currently free?" argument. We've got a squad any manager outside of the top 6 would love, an £80m training ground on the way and a world famous profile thanks to winning the title.

 

Who wouldn't want to come to Leicester City right now?

 

We should have our pick of 95% of managers in the professional game and we're a top class manager away from challenging that top 6 on a regular basis (or at the very least making 7th a given).

His results haven't been great. 

He doesn't seem very inspiring and that is reflected in the play. 

Southampton fans seem to say the same about him. 

I agree he needs more time to implement his system but in my eyes he's done nothing to deserve the credit he's getting from some quarters. 

 

I don't like him yet and that's unlikely to change until we get our act together.

Well it felt like nobody wanted to touch us when we sacked Shakespeare. I really wonder whether we're as much of an attractive proposition as you think. 

 

Feel free to make suggestions of who you feel should be our manager and whether they're realistic or not.

That’s not for us to decide is it?

 

There are professionals at the club whose job this is. Their time should be dedicated to finding someone who believes in entertaining football that is committed to scoring goals and worth watching. Someone who is suited to the club and the English game.

 

He doesn’t have to be well known, he doesn’t have to have managed in England, he doesn’t need a track record of keeping teams up - and they don’t realise this. He just needs talent and he needs to like football. Their philosophy is what’s important.

 

I mean, how have Leeds ended up with Bielsa and we’ve got this depressing twat?

Like it or not, Leeds are still a sleeping giant and can attract a big name manager - as well as a more than competent manager! Despite us winning the Prem. we seem to have been unable to attract anybody good to the role since Ranieri lost the plot! That said, it's still worth noting that we were unable to beat Bournemouth in our Premier League winning season!

REALLY ?? I don't think we are any more an attractive proposition for a new manager than the likes of Palace, Wolves or Fulham.

Everton are a far bigger club than us and have  more pulling power than we do and they are mucking around with the likes of Silva and Allardyce.

Sacking Claudio left a bitter taste in the mouth of the football world and will not be forgotten in terms of treating managers badly.

Be careful what you wish for.
