joachim1965 Posted 8 January 2019 Posted 8 January 2019 I understand people's frustration but we are 7th ffs, as I have said before , if we hadn't won the league people would be spaffing at being where we are now, it is a realistic position for a club of our size. At the moment we are the best of the rest.
mozartfox Posted 8 January 2019 Posted 8 January 2019 NO. If and when Puel is dismissed, we need to change everything at the Club from Coaching to Recruitment, the Academy, the Under 23's to Scouting. This will take years as it cannot all be done at the same time. Complete refreshed approach and new ideas required next time a new Manager comes in.
Foxes1 Posted 8 January 2019 Posted 8 January 2019 Don't see why not I mean Mclintock did a brilliant job when he came back as manager didn't he.
VLC86 Posted 8 January 2019 Posted 8 January 2019 Get Elvis in. Bugle AOTS in the dressing room and team playing with PASSUN (mentally unstable, down to 8 men 35 seconds in).

I really don’t get it, you are criticizing the academy and U23 when we sit 2nd in the league and bringing a plethora of youngsters through the system more thann most clubs so please explain to me how that could be bettered currently? scouting we make mistakes but have success to so again harsh. As many others have said we are currently 7th in the league so could you please enlighten us in your blueprint where you see the club in say 10 years.
Finnegan Posted 8 January 2019 Posted 8 January 2019 I don't particularly mean right now, to replace Puel, but I'd absolutely love it if Wasyl had a successful stint as a manager here. To think the press were scared of Nigel
volpeazzurro Posted 8 January 2019 Posted 8 January 2019 For Leicester, nobody immediately springs to mind. Solskar though isn't exactly a rooky however, he's been managing for a few years now and has cut his teeth quite successfully. I think he can be forgiven his experience at Cardiff as that was always going to be a tough task for anyone. I do find him one of those characters that would be very hard to dislike and wish him well. A bit like Ngolo Kante, I always like to see him when he pops back and was really pleased for him at the World Cup. After a period of management elsewhere I do think Cambiasso sounds a good shout, still one of our most exciting ever signings albeit at the end of his career. You could still see the class. My only reservation would be whether he could be one of those players that finds it difficult and frustrating to work with players that could never be on the same level of skill and commitment as himself, Gullet and Keane spring to mind.

Change the structure of the club to give us long term goals? A new style of play means a change to coaching, recruiting and scouting. The academy is producing players that we are starting to use because of Puel and the U23s have won 4 in 4 I believe. So what exactly is a different manager going to do? What Puel is doing is a different approach that doesn't look refreshing at the moment but given time I believe we will be a real force to contend the top 6. The problem that a lot of people are having is they cant accept the way we are currently. The game vs Newport is plain to see that our squad has too many players that cant adapt to the way Puel wants to play. So given more time I believe our team will only get better, whether that be through coaching or recruiting players suited to the style already. As far as I am concerned, Puel can crack on with the job he is doing and only when we are staring relegation in the face do we then decide that it isn't working. Yes the cup competitions are a huge frustration and I am desperate to win the FA cup, but I can see that Puel has a monster job on his hands and the fact we are 7th in the Prem is testament to how good of a job he is doing whilst we are in this transition phase. Yes there are questionable decisions that I have on Puel, and I do hold some reservations over him because of these decisions, mainly over substitutes. The bigger picture shows that he is in fact doing a good job though. Its crazy how a manager can divide opinions so much
ultrafox Posted 8 January 2019 Posted 8 January 2019 Remember when Frank McLintock took over from Jimmy Bloomfield. I think we learnt our lesson then.
AKCJ Posted 8 January 2019 Posted 8 January 2019 We're not a Manchester United or a Barcelona or a Real Madrid. There is nothing to 'get' at Leicester. There is no 'Leicester Way' or a specific brand of Footie that we're famous for. Those 3 aforementioned clubs have had success promoting from within because those clubs have an easily identifiable style of play that has served them well.
Grebfromgrebland Posted 8 January 2019 Posted 8 January 2019 I hear Richie Wellens would be up for it
Fox92 Posted 8 January 2019 Posted 8 January 2019 Solejkaer will get found out when United actually play a good side.

I am just commenting that in the event he is binned, promoting from within ‘ain’t the answer. May be read my post again.

Do people read on here? The topic was do people think someone from within can do the job. My view is no. The next person coming in might want to instil more wholesale changes in how the whole playing side is set up instead of staying with what we have i.e new coaching methods throughout all levels. I note you do not mention scouting and recruitment. Please read properly before responding. BTW. check all my posts and you see I have never said I am in the Puel out camp.

When I read that a 'complete refreshed approach and new ideas when a new manager comes in' that tells me that you aren't happy with anything Puel is doing. You also suggest that if and when he goes we need to change everything. Another line that screams out you aren't happy at all with what he is doing. Therefore we take your stance as you want him to go. Apologies if that isn't the case but surely you can read your post and see how we have come to that conclusion I certainly agree that promoting from within isn't the answer.
StriderHiryu Posted 8 January 2019 Posted 8 January 2019 I personally think we will see Wes or Kasper as Head Coach of the club one day, perhaps 10 years from now and possibly even as a combo of manager / assistant manager. Kasper especially always comes across as intelligent and articulate and the owners clearly love him. Cambiasso is also a possibility given how decorated his club career was. But if such a thing happened, then the player(s) in question would have to prove their managerial ability somehow first. E.g. coaching the U23's / Reserves or being succesful with another team, even if that team is in the lower divisions or abroad. For Cambiasso, perhaps he's the sort that could be given it straight away but even decorated players like Gerrard and Lampard in this country have had to go to the Championship / Scotland before being handed a Premier League job. When we get to that period of time then I wouldn't be against it. In fact I'd quite like it because then perhaps we would start to have a "Leicester City way" or at least an identifiable nature with players who achieved the title in charge to hopefully see us punch above our weight again. But whoever is in charge has to be good at their job or at least show potential to be good at there job. It's a results orientated business after all!

What happens when fans get sick of the new managers approach and ideas? Do we then get another manager in and another and another etc? We all scream for stability and a long term vision, yet when we have a manager who is looking to implement his 'vision,' 50% of the fans want him gone. His vision or approach may not be the most attractive to fans but we are currently sitting in 7th. I am by no means saying he's the answer and I've been very critical of him but us football fans are so fickle. We literally do not give anybody as chance. My worry is that we are going to turn into West Ham or an Everton where we believe we have some form of divine right to play a certain style of football because we have been successful doing it before. I do believe recruitment / scouting needs to be looked into. I mentioned this in another thread. It's about time Jon Rudkin had his job looked into. Edit: Before you lose your lose shit at me too, from paragraph two I am talking about fans in general, not you.
David Hankey Posted 8 January 2019 Posted 8 January 2019 Could a former player get us higher than 7th, progress pass a lowly placed team in the FA Cup and get us to a League Cup semi/final. Can't think of anyone at the moment.
ClaphamFox Posted 8 January 2019 Posted 8 January 2019 9 hours ago, Stadt said: What does "knows the club" mean? What tangible benefit does it bring? Ian Holloway knows the club, Peter Taylor knows the club, Joe Mattock knows the club. I hate the phrase. Because a former player knows where the training ground is already doesn't help them manage. I've always felt that knowing where the toilets are at Belvoir Drive and being on nodding terms with the security staff would be a massive advantage for a new manager and I'm constantly amazed that the club seem to overlook these qualities when recruiting.
Matt_Lcfc Posted 8 January 2019 Posted 8 January 2019 Iheanacho player manager. nah seriously the only one I’d take is Esteban Cambiasso
