norwichfox Posted 22 December 2018 Share Posted 22 December 2018 (edited) It would be interesting to know what the feeling is by squad players other than the title winning "remainees" who are rapidly approaching their sell by date and are looking to hang on to a ridiculously high wage.

los dedos Posted 22 December 2018 Share Posted 22 December 2018 At the end of last season he looked like he was a gonner . I think Kun Vichai was very close to letting him go but in the end he decided to give him a full window and a good part of this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 22 December 2018 Share Posted 22 December 2018 I’m sure at this moment in his life Top will not want to begin a search for a new manager. He would prefer the football side of things to run itself for a while. I think we’d see a temporary appointment and I worry who that would be.

If not, we're just going to keep seeing the same nonsense every year. One thing is for certain - unless everybody is pulling in the same direction I think we need to accept that mid-table mediocrity is here to stay. I’d be happy with that. Back to the Bloomfield days where the instruction was “go out there and entertain”. Queue a load of foxes talk derision... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My conclusion is the guy is clueless, the type of football we play is dire, the players he has brought in are average and his tactics are bordering on insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More chance of Rachel Riley; though she would improve our numbers on possession based percentage obsessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully understandable if you ask me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crinklyfox Posted 22 December 2018 Share Posted 22 December 2018 I am convinced that in order to get the managers job Claude Puel will have laid out his strategy for improving the club to the owners, and that they were convinced by his presentation. They would not have appointed a manager who did not have a strategy. If the rumours are to be believed then there is discontent within the playing and backroom staff. This will reduce the effectiveness of Puels management as while discontented employees may provide compliance with a managers instructions they are unlikely to be motivated to 'go the extra mile' and provide enhanced performance. That is only achieved when they are happy in their jobs and motivated. So the owners have a choice, and it may be based on their belief in Puel's strategy for the club. If they still believe in this strategy, they should replace the players who are unwilling or unable to adapt to it; if they have lost belief in the effectiveness of this strategy they should replace the manager with another who has a more credible strategy. If the latter option is chosen, Puel's fate has already been sealed and the only delay to his sacking is the recruitment of a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, I dont think that I have seen my last LCFC season in the second tier. I am not at all convinced that Puel has lost the dressing room. I'm not sure fate really works like that, If Southampton had appointed Ranieri would they have won the League? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the whole 14 second disaster happened, but he finally was able to train with the players, reports came out that he was the most technically able player we had and there was a lot of excitement about him finally coming into the team. Looking at his posts on social media too he's remained nothing but professional throughout all of this, is training hard outside of official training sessions and he always posts in support of the team even when he doesn't even make the squad. If we do get someone else in, I really do hope that he sticks around for at least another half season and we see what that new person can get out of him.
