Claude Puel’s personal tribute to Vichai

Beautiful statement from Claude.

Wow, well done Claude, lead us to greatness.

I've been Puel in since the start, and I still am. I really hope this can put some perspective on the situation and help us to unite behind the manager once again, obviously we should not just be using this tragedy as an excuse to blindly follow, and we will no doubt have good and bad matches, and could even finish mid table this season, but I truly believe Vichai believed in Claude, and for that reason we should be rallying behind him. 

The coming months will be a very difficult transition for Top and his family, the last thing this club needs is a fractured fanbase divided. Let's kick on with the spirit of Vichai in our hearts and give everything we have to the players, management and board. 

 

No good will come from being divided especially in these times.

I've been a Puel out man for many months.. Still don't believe he's the long term answer but right now it seems unimportant and I'm firmly behind him,  quite frankly if we get a hiding in the next few games..... So what!

Whatever you think of puel that took alot of strength and character. It would of been quite easy for him to send someone else to do the interviews. I just hope now more than ever we get behind him and the team they are certainly going to need the fans.

Beautiful from Claude. Must’ve been very hard to have done that in his non-native language too.

 

He’s going to need everyone’s backing at this club for the foreseeable. No matter what your opinion of him this club can’t afford to be divided at this moment in time.

Lovely stuff from Claude, I think he hit exactly the right tone. I hope his delivery wasn't too boring for everyone 

[Gamble92]

What a man. Think alot of the shit he gets at times is because of his reserved character but he's shown so much character today and he i wouldnt rather have anyone else in charge.

[FLAN]

No fan of his but he did that with real warmth, dignity and clear grief and not in his native language. Gone up in my estimation 

[Tuna]

We'll need his quiet, assured leadership in the coming weeks in the wake of this tragedy. He's handled himself with real dignity and class. That was a beautiful, heartfelt statement.

Dignified and emotional - well done Claude. I think we will probably see Wes, Kasper and Vards all start on Saturday because of the relationship they had with Vichai and rightly so. For the first time in a while our supporters and our manager and our team will offer each other complete and unquestioning support.

So many fantastic efforts to put into words what we are all feeling.

 

I have taken great comfort from the contributions of so many, at a time when it must be so hard to find the right words. We ought to have a thread of hat tips to the many big LCFC names, who have fought hard to say something coherent to us, when on the verge of breaking down. Birch, Piper, the Kasabian lads, Puel (who got rave reviews for his presser), Taggart, Shakespeare and many, many others.

 

And as for Stringer, may I suggest we forgive that man for the sins of the past, because he has been immense. I saw him (I think) on Sunday afternoon, white as a sheet and clearly struggling, but delivering the raw emotion that swirled around outside the King Power to listeners. He is a talented broadcaster, and if any award was going for this kind of thing, he deserves it, imho.

Love you Claude

I'd have to agree with this, as someone who said at full time last week that I've conceded he just isn't the answer.

 

It's irrelevant now. His handling of that was brilliant and everyone needs to get behind him in this period.
