Dames Posted 14 January 2019 Posted 14 January 2019 Looking at this from a purely statistical stand point most people are going to say no as Huddersfield are rock bottom and we are currently 8th. In statistical terms there is no arguement for sacking Puel for Wagner. However he has proven that he can get a team playing above and beyond themselves. Unfortunately there is only so long you can keep that up for without improving the quality. On a budget like his he’s done well with a club like Huddersfield and without significant investment there is no manager that can take them further than he has. What we are currently lacking is a manager that can motivate the team to play above and beyond themselves and really push on, there is so much potential there and Wagner has proven he can maximise a limited squad - can he do the same with ours? Because Puel certainly can’t and is just happy to plod along safely. I can’t say he would do better than Puel but surely with what he got out of that Huddersfield team he can’t do any worse? Add the fact that rumours are Rudkin has fancied him for a while I wouldn’t be surprised that another 2 or 3 poor performances/results Rudkin will be eying him up before someone else has the chance too.

Even proven managers sometimes fail at certain clubs. I think Wagner has proven to be an excellent coach and man manager. With better resources I don't think it's as much as a risk as people think. I know and when I typed that I was expecting this reply but I still disagree. He has had 1 exceptional season and then momentum carried them over to see them stay up. I guess a team like us needs to take risks if we are going to unearth a gem but they really have been terrible this season.
Tielemans63 Posted 14 January 2019 Posted 14 January 2019 At the end of last season I'd have said he was a great option for us..... ....but then he signed Ben Hamer and you have to question that. Probably where it started going wrong for Wagner to be honest.

moore_94 Posted 14 January 2019 Posted 14 January 2019 Who has been lumping on Wagner joining us on PaddyPower? Down to 6/4

Apparently its ok for the top teams to play a weakened team and the bottom teams to play a weakened team but not us! How dare we not play Jamie Vardy for 90 minutes of every single game!

You must agree that that's a very tenuous argument for replacing a manager currently on course to achieve successive top-half finishes with us?

He's going to look a bit of dick leaving Huddersfield, citing burnout as the reason, only to rock up a week or two later at Leicester.

If the season were to finish tomorrow then I would agree. However our form has taken a nose dive in the past 3 games along with the quality of our performances and if we continue like that for the rest of the season it will be a very underwhelming end to the season. Puel does however have a habit of pulling something out the bag when things start to look ropey, i’ll give him that. I’m not calling for Puel to be sacked for Wagner right away. I’m just throwing the idea out there that if Puel does go Wagner might not be a bad option. This Leicester side has bags of potential and if he can get that Huddersfield team playing to their maximum, imagine how good we could be if the same happened to us.
Hollyfox Posted 14 January 2019 Posted 14 January 2019 I don't think the Leicester public will ever take to Puel, and it's easy to understand why tbh. Our squad and set up is far superior to Huddersfield and Puel is not getting the best out of it. I don't know if he's the answer but someone's got to get this squad playing to it's potential. Watching the Spurs v United yesterday the winning goal came from quick direct movement and it was a good goal. Post Jose, United are now playing with freedom and are far better than they were. Whilst I appreciate what Claude has done and will continue to support the boy's , I'm bored shitless by a succession of dreadful home performances and either want him to go , or to change the way he sets us up. Him staying and continuing what he's doing could , if not already, turn the KP toxic and that would be inexcusable to Top and Co after what they've been through.
peach0000 Posted 14 January 2019 Posted 14 January 2019 I’d take him, with better players he would player a different style and would be a progressive choice.

No one knows what he could achieve with a great budget and stronger team. The only thing we know is that he would bring the fans closer and make us the 12th man again. Waggy come on down. Gerrimin It amuses me that the Puel Inners seem to have no grasp of the value of the bond between fans and team / manager
Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 14 January 2019 Posted 14 January 2019 Rudkin was a huge fan previously and wanted him ahead of Shakespeare.

One defeat and you'd hate him just as much as you do Puel. It's who you are.
