Silva Fox Posted 15 January 2019 Share Posted 15 January 2019 Every time he speaks to the media his comments seem to cause more division amongst our fan base. Although some of this is probably deliberate "provocative" journalism I find it difficult to believe that he doesn't have a similar impact on the players and coaching staff. He comes across as stubborn and arrogant and nothing is ever his fault. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the Leicester Mercury, it can't be. The club's propaganda tool working against the club? Not so sure about it. Then again, I've worked for my local newspaper on the side for years, and still hear about what's happening there and do take into consideration what's going in the press industry in general, with layoffs and whatnot. Sad affair on its own. Media in a crisis, needing to rethink their approach to generating interest, to research, news and coverage altogether.

Without context the comments may seem a distasteful to some but to me it seems like another case of people desperate to be overly offended by something, again.

That ended a long time ago, they are more interested in clicks now as the club treat them the same as any other member of the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arriba Los Zorros Posted 15 January 2019 Share Posted 15 January 2019 Bit of a dick move to use this as an excuse to hide from the pressure he's under if true. I haven't read the article in full and despite being a crap manager he generally conducts himself well and is respectful so will just assume this has been taken out of context.

You haven't destroyed anything. You simply stick up for the manager, not the team and not the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grebfromgrebland Posted 15 January 2019 Share Posted 15 January 2019 Truth is that we have no idea how it's affecting the players and other staff whether they're having counseling, therapy or are just really unhappy about these events. Then they go onto the pitch as a young team and when things don't go to plan 32,000 'fans' bitch and moan and boo them. They want to be entertained. Well done us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Agnew Posted 15 January 2019 Share Posted 15 January 2019 It’s not working out for Puel at our club. He is criticising fans for too much ambition, lack of patience and now short mementoes over Vichai. Too many excuses! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could look at it as £30-40-50 per match is a hell of a lot of money to some people, and we pump that into the club, and that the boos aren't at the players, but at Puel's tactics, substitutions, game plan, style of overly negative and defensive football?

Shaggy Posted 15 January 2019 Share Posted 15 January 2019 If the boss was still here,I don't think Puel would be, 2 years ago we were the tops,and now we have a poor manager,who was at Southampton & now Leicester, what the hell is the board doing now,it seems to me that they are not bothered,I can see the fans are going to vote with their feet,it seems to me that Puel as some hold over the board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's his recurrent tactic, besides twisting words and only looking at one side of the problem, when he's a bit cornered. He tries then to dismiss your arguments using the nationality bias. He does have some good points though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is an example of the provocative journalism you refer to, particularly as this interview was conducted before the Southampton match. Strange timing to publish from the Merc.

MC Prussian Posted 15 January 2019 Share Posted 15 January 2019 Just for the record @yks: I'm not against Puel per se, I just don't think these recent interviews coupled with recent results are doing him any favour with regards to the relationship to the fans. I think the timing is wrong for these press pieces and that he doesn't appear to be able to reflect upon his deficiencies and (false) decisions as a manager. Most of the time, matches under Puel are a carbon copy of each other. If he were to approach games with a more proactive gameplan, (slightly) more attacking football, two strikers even (or let's say Iheanacho behind Vardy), if he could minimize the constant sideways and backwards passing aspect of his overly cautious tactics and deploy a system in which Jamie Vardy sees more of the ball, my bet is we wouldn't be having this discussion at all.
