TheUltimateWinner Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 Give it big Nige till the end of the season
rachhere Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 I don't think we should rush this. Get a caretaker manager in for now (any suggestions?) and then take our time up until the summer to find a replacement. Caretaker wise, I would like to see someone who has a connection to the club to revive the Leicester spirit.

Mehrez Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 One of Fonseca, Jardim or Rodgers very few realistic candidates out there, even out of those 3 wouldn’t surprise me if it was only Jardim who wanted to come
lcfcell Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 I feel like there are arguments for keeping him and getting rid. Like would it just been an interim till the summer? Or do they have someone lined up? If they had someone lined up already you could give them these next few months to experiment and implement their style considering we’re safe. The KP just feels so toxic now and I miss how it was, I feel under Puel our home form won’t change, I really don’t know what will happen!
volpeazzurro Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 7 minutes ago, Gazza M said: I can handle defeats to big teams at home. That is half expected. But the distressing thing is our inability to break teams down at home. The number of poor home results in this tenure is outrageous! We are a pleasure to play against for anyone coming to park the bus. I said a few weeks ago on here Puel needs to find a way of breaking teams down. Currently failing miserably. Alarming to learn his last few home games with Southampton returned 0 goals. Clearly an issue and carrying that on here. His lack of ability to engage with the fans is also a major failing. No rapport whatsoever. I think we should be looking at Rodgers, Benitez, Wagner at the end of the season. Puel will ease us over the line but give us an excuse to sack him when we finish 13th. Let this plonker do the donkey work of getting rid of the dead wood and then get a manager in who knows how to play football and recruit some decent footballers to compliment our young players. Whilst I agree with the first part of your argument, I really don't think Puel has got the type of players to break down the park the bus brigade. When Vardy is nullified at least we used to have Marhez who could perhaps conjure up something special. This is not a new problem for us, it existed pre Puel. I really wouldn't want any of the managers on your list. 1. BENITEZ If you want boring defensive football then he's your man, you'd get more style out of Sam Alladyce. Not wanted by the Liverpool cop at the end of his tenure, he was even more disliked by the players, some of whom are quite vocal about him. With the exception of Torres, his transfer buys were absolutely woeful overall. Won a great trophy with Houlliers team then went down hill. He's been a Spanish Tony Pulls ever since without the nous to buy big strong players. 2. RODGERS A busted flush. Good job at Swansea given. When his goal machine Suarez at Liverpool left so did his ability to manage. Another one disliked by his players due to his arrogance, see Gerrard re this. Having spoken to a Celtic season ticket holder this week, they are of the opinion that he's being found out. Whilst raving about Benkovic, he related how they tried to get him 2 years ago for 3m but the board wouldn't spend the money on an unproven player. Having been scouted by their head scout who also bought in Foster , Wanyama , Van Dyke and a couple of others who I can't remember, Rodgers sacked him to bring in his own man and has been buying shit ever since. He commented that they were looking at what Gerrard has done in such a short space of time with a fraction of the money and beginning to wonder. Well gone are the days of O'Neil and Lennon he commented, they're not convinced. 3.WAGNER Really can't understand this one. Apart from him having a German name and an exotic mate called Klopp what has he done? Got a team promoted from the Championship and kept them there by the skin of their teeth for a year? They'll be going back down this year and whilst in fairness he's had no money to spend to speak of, he's hardly come over as some tactical genius. We may as well sign Warnock! Just because he's mates with Klopp, speaks like Klopp and maybe would even like to play like Klopp, doesn't mean he is Klopp. If we do sack Puel, so be it, but if this is the best we can come up with what's the point. They'd all want another 12 to 18 months to implement their so called 'philosophy'. Would you trust the first two to spend even more money (our most recent signings haven't been bad). The last one may even want to buy and play like Klopp, so would I, but it doesn't mean I have the ability to do it. We have to be careful what we wish for as wishing doesn't equal getting.

We need a motivator. We have a young talented squad that lots of clubs would envy, we just need someone to get the best out of them. However I won’t say my choice, it’s too obvious, and will get shot down.......... O’Neill??
Grebfromgrebland Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 Well looking at the options and ideas on the forum we're probably best sticking with Puel
Kinowe Soorie Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 Ian Pardew Mark Hughes Ally Curbishley Jim Dowie Simon Grayson Got to be one of these guys, top managers with proven track records

I know it could be argued as looking back but there's no way Martin would want to finish his career on a low after flogging a dead horse for too long with Ireland. Sure there's plenty of life yet in the old dog and it would be an interesting ride. Shall we Howard Wilkinson and Dave Bassett back as well?

Guest MattP Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 What's Frank Burrows upto these days? If we can't get Barry Fry he might be worth a call.
Hollyfox Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 It would worry me if Puel got sacked, big Nige came in and done well. Like the Shakespeare situation, we could think everything is fine , stick with him into next season, realise he's not up to it and it all starts again.
murphy Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 10 hours ago, Crispin LA said: I think Adolf Hutter who's doing great at Eintracht Frankfort, they are playing high pressing attacking football, he did wonders at Young Boys where they won the Swiss super league which they hadn't won since 86. His coaching style is very similar to Ralf Hassanhuttl, who I wanted to have in the summer because he was available, but it wasn't meant to be with him. If your second name is Hindley (or close to it) it's probably not a good idea to name your daughter Myra. Mr and Mrs Hutter called their son Adolf ?????
Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 What about Dave Bartram? He's entertaining, Leicester lad and loves the club. And he's available.

Parafox Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 11 hours ago, suffolk fox said: How about approaching Derby for Frank Lampard? An up and coming manager who has extremely strong links to Chelsea. We may be able to get some loans in with some of their youngsters. He is not doing too bad a job at Derby. Certainly better than Allardyce, Moyes, Hughes etc. Lampard was my immediate thought after reading the OP. I have been pitch-side para at several Derby games since he took over and they are a positive, attack-minded, resilient side with a never say die attitude under him. Might get Keogh in central defence in place of Morgan as well.

AjcW Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 As much as I don't want a change right now, if we had to look in the summer i'd say... In order of preference... Chris Houghton (every player the plays for him absolutely loves him, creates a great spirit) Chris Wilder (He has been a success everywhere he has managed, he might well come up with Sheff Utd but if he doesn't we should be all over it) Daniel Farke (Norwich were rightly patient with him, and it's proving successful now, they could nab auto spots this season.) Pablo Machin (Got Girona promoted and almost into the Europa League first season up! Now doing a great job for Sevilla) Dieter Hecking (Guided Monchengladbach to a couple of steady Bundesliga finishes as part of their revival as well as some cup runs, now pushing for a Champions League spot this season)
SemperEadem Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 2 hours ago, Sly said: Joking aside who do we go for? Marcello Gallardo Stefano Pioli Abdullah Avci Adi Hutter José Bordalas Leandro Jardim Julian Nagglesmann Not sure how many, if any of those would fancy it!! I bet the club and Rudkin have heard of tops 1 of those names.
