splinterdream Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 As mentioned before I'd like Lampard or Arteta but I think it'll be Wagner, we wanted him before so I've heard and he's available and will be eager to get back in. I think Benitez will want too much money and is he the long term future? Rogers will also be very expensive and it's a 50/50 whether he'll come, Wagner could take the job straight away which I think would suit the club.
lcfcsnow Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 Considering we happily waste millions gambling on the likes of Ghezzal, it’s time to spend the money on a decent manager not out of work for once.
Leicesterpool Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 Zinedine Zidane ... least we don't have a transfer ban.
Scotch Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 I've always liked Wagner. People focus on the run up to his dismissal but let's not forget the fact he took a team tipped for relegation from the Championship to the EPL and kept them there for a year. My only problem with him as manager is Vardy and Kasper. If they don't get their way with him, they'll turn on him and I don't think he's a big enough name or character to survive that.

The man wanted a break following Huddersfield, pretty sure a few months isn't long enough for what he wanted. Besides, would rather have some one with added European Pedigree
Guest Bilo Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 I wouldn't be shocked to see the board go for someone like Lampard. Young, good contacts and respected. It might fit with what they felt Puel was trying to do better than a Benitez or Allardyce option. I get the impression that Rodgers is first choice, but that they wanted to bin Puel in the summer before making a move.
Langston Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 Van Bronckhorst is a really interesting shout, no doubt the work he's done at Feyenoord is incredible but Cocu's abject failure at Fenerbahce after leaving the Eredivise throws me off the idea of recruiting from there a bit. I'd take Rodgers, don't care if he has an ego, he's realistically the best available manager we can attract and has a history of playing good football. I think some of our younger players could really excel under him.
splinterdream Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 Absolutely not thought about this since seeing a tweet but if OGS is not given the Utd job following the Liverpool match.........
Gubbins Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 This thread pretty much sums up why I wasn't keen on getting rid of Puel as there's absolutely no consensus on who we should bring in. It's an absolute gamble whatever we do and even a successful pick wont have us achieving much more than Watford are this season. A decent proportion of the names mentioned would be sacked before next season is out and Wel just be on a similar thread discussing the same names again next season.

Lampard has got a bright future in football but he's still long way to prove himself, I rather him spend more time with Derby and see where they end up in time. Would Antonio Conte be impossible, heard he's keen on a return.

STUHILL Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 Brendan Rodgers seems like the right fit for me and has done for a long-time. Problem is, he is highly unlikely to be available until the summer, so what do we do until then? Not many decent managers would come in just for 11 games and no chance of securing the job permanently. I hope Top has a plan!
Foxes04 Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 One of Lopetegui, Ten Hag or Arteta would be perfect

Pretty sure that Rodgers wouldnt be such a strong front runner if he wasn't so strongly linked with us as well.
80footgiraffe Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 I understand the lack of realism about these options, but someone like Inzaghi from Lazio or Howe from Bournemouth would show so much intent. I would be very happy with Rafa however, Wagner seemed to just not make it work at Huddersfield, and tactially they looked very poor before he left, so I’m not 100% about him. I understand limited resources etc but I’m just not that convinced
80footgiraffe Posted 24 February 2019 Posted 24 February 2019 Ten Hag or Arteta would also be incredible.

Giovanni Van Bronckhorst is available in the summer, he will be departing from Feyenoord at the end of the season. Also another good choice for Leicester would be Adolf Hutter who guided 'Young Boys' to win the Swiss Super league playing like Leicester did when we won the league. I just can’t see Herr Hutter being successful in English football with his name as it is.
