There are Leicester fans who are annoyed that we beat Chelsea because they think it helps Puel stay. Twisted

 

Havent beat them at theirs in 20 years and they couldnt enjoy it. Thats not right

I think his comments after the Chelsea game 'this changes nothing' are not very assuring I may be reading into it, don't know if its already been discussed on here

Car from it, they're very reassuring. It shows we're on a path of progression and he's not going to be persuaded to go for any quick fixes.

What he's done in the past Month or so is put Gray, Vardy, and Maddison in their place. They now know he's no pushover and have benefited from it. 

Gray is now showing real promise and working for the team.

Vardy was brilliant on Saturday and despite having a little moan, showed in that game that he is learning and developing a more rounded game to suit our style.

Madison possibly got ahead of himself a little after his England call up. But has been excellent since his recall.

These are big calls for any Manager to make but for Puel to do it when he's supposed to be under pressure shows he's not afraid of making big calls for the good of the Club or of being sacked.Sent

He deserves more respect than he gets from some of our fans, but then that's the nature of modern football.

I also heard that he likes fruit, especially the skins of nectarines. He stabs them with a toothpick to release more juice and never misses an inch. Therefore there will be holes all over the peach.

I hope Puel finds a way to make it work here in good time. Its clear for me he finds it easier to find ways to beat high attacking/pressing sides, And struggles to get city fired up for games against mid/lower end teams. Lets see what happens..

When is this sacking supposed to happen?

On the day he gets the sack I assume

Just seen on a betting site that he's 1/1 to go next, Ranieri is after that at 10/1. I know odds don't mean jack but that is some difference. All the stories in the paper making people back him getting the sack most probably the reason.

Ranieri at 10/1 isn’t a bad shout imo

Last season in Mars, then in June, then after the West Ham game, then "imminently" according to people who have rock-solid sources...

Even money is a very short price to take considering we are 9th in the league, he was as big as 5-1 earlier in the week! Trust me odds do mean jack, I personally think it was due to the fixtures with Chelsea and Man City, he was strongly backed to lose his job but with the modern day bookmaker is doesn’t take too much money to shorten the odds!

I won't be backing it. I was just surprised at how short the odds are.

I think Puel will be manager until at least end of season, but if this is correct, Benitez may be looking to move on:

Oh please another Rafa fan, if you thought Puel was playing defensive football then what is Rafa's style, he certainly does not play counterattacking football, and doesn't tend to play youth like Puel does. 

All those those 'Rafaites' do you really want a manager who's old and past it, then a younger up and coming manager who has new ideas and has more hunger then a manger who seems to go from one Premier league club to another!

I live in the north east and have been to a few games this season. I know a few fans who have questioned some of his decisions. Starting with 5 at the back at home to Fulham...!

Backward step... 

Eddie Howe is a big forward step.

Based on what ?
He hasn't accomplished half of what Puel has in his career.

He has to play with what he's got and that's not a lot. He's performing miracles keeping that poor side up as it is. I'd rather have him than Puel any day.

Puel in here, but while I like Eddie Howe the only way he moves on is to a big six cub, so pointless speculation. Rafa? Pass.

[Metal Lover]

Settle down and let Puel do his work.  I don't know about you lot, but I dreamed about mid table Premier League.

 

What the heck are some of you thinking?

 

We are a million miles away from the dark days we went through.  The top 6 is a really hard nut to crack, but so is top 10 from where we were.

 

Chill and enjoy.

6th isn’t unrealistic... winning the premier league was unrealistic.
