Happy Fox Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 According to the Times https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/brendan-rodgers-and-rafael-benitez-first-names-on-leicester-city-list-to-replace-deflated-claude-puel-lm5cwdtrn Leicester City have drawn up a two-man short list of Brendan Rodgers and Rafa Benitez to replace Claude Puel. Puel’s position is in serious jeopardy at the KingPower Stadium after a disastrous 2019 and a 4-1 hammering at home to Crystal Palace yesterday. Leicester were humbled in the FA Cup at League Two Newport in January and have not won a game in the Premier League since the turn of the year. Leicester’s owners have shown their ambition still remains at the club, following the death of Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in a helicopter crash outside of the stadium last year. They have unveiled plans for a state of the art £100 million training facility and want a high profile manager to kick start their revival
VLC86 Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 Happy with either but both have negatives as well as positives.

mozartfox Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 I would take both. One could take charge of the home games and the other for away games. The Birch could do the Cup games and Filbert the U23‘s.

Fox92 Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 Our board really don't have a clue about anybody outside the UK do they? There's more manages out there than those that have previously managed in the PL. I don't trust the club to get the next manager right. All manager apart from two (Pearson return and Ranieri) have been shit under this ownership.
TMELcfc Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 So they’ve just been on this forum and listed our two man shortlist
RowlattsFox Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 I would take Rodgers if not was a choice between the two. I think Rafa is a good manager but I’d like to see what Rodgers could build. Whoever it is I think we need a manager who has a personality that can reunite the fans, initially at least.
whetstonefox Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 Think Rafa wil stay at Newcastle, they look like surviving again, I know he wants more than that but has strong support from the fans and can see him getting a bit more £££ transfer wise in the summer. Rodgers would be an interesting one, his Swansea team was a good watch and he nearly won the league with Liverpool. Bottom line is to attract either they’d want a bit of spending money even if the board want to focus on youth.
Guest Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 Happy with neither. If we're going to change makee it worthwhile.
Robin JD Popley Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 Would be happy with either but Rodgers for me is the better long term bet. Anything to get rid of who we have now!
Master Fox Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 Eddie Howe! Please Top and Susan get Eddie Howe. He's perfect for us.
The Doctor Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 What would be the point? Both are in jobs and might not leave till the end of the season - if it's the end of the season there's better options (I don't much rate Rodgers and Benitez would set us back to square one with his attitude towards youth and attacking football), if it's get rid of Puel now then we're paying big money to get them in when we could just do a stop gap for 10 games and appoint better in the summer.

Manager on rough streak + managers likely to need new job = STORY! It more that journalists have no idea, not the club.
Farrington fox Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 Has to be Rafa, no brainer! Would he come here though??
Kinowe Soorie Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 I'd take any manager right now! I can't believe the fag end hasn't been sacked yet
ThaiFox Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 I thought Rodgers had already ruled coming here out? As for Rafa, might be good for attracting new players, but would he fit at Leicester? His football is very defensive and I'd expect if he moved from Newcastle there would be some European clubs sniffing around for him. Fat Sam, Mark Hughes & Pardew are available
Tuna Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 26 minutes ago, ramaiya2 said: RAFA for me but I cannot see him coming He clearly wants to work in England as his family is based here, he's not going to a top 6 club, he won't be going to Everton, West Ham or Watford. Realistically we would be the best he could get if he left Newcastle and wanted an English club.
totbl Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 Spotted Nige in sportdirect in Leicester - what was he buying - a big **** off pair of white trainers...

Bluearmyfox28 Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 Probably going to get shot for this but would love for us to make a move for Arteta. If pep speaks so highly about him then he’s gotta be worth a shot at least?
Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 Not Benitez please. Overrated and boring football which would get the previous Puel outers in a tizz.
