Ricey Posted 7 July 2019 Share Posted 7 July 2019 Don’t disagree that Puel did some good things, but I doubt he had much to do with Tielemans coming in. There is no way he would have negotiated such a deal. It came out of the blue because Monaco wanted Silva. He may have greenlit it, but who wouldn’t. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AKCJ Posted 7 July 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 7 July 2019 Puel laid the foundations but he absolutely had to go. Never been so disinterested in supporting Leicester since probably the Levein era. Everything was ****ing miserable. We had all these great players but they were forced into absolutely putrid football. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More popular than you’d think…. Stay or go was a Leicester City fans Brexir as it split the support down the middle…. However even the most ardent of ‘outer’ would probably recognise (hindsight being a wonderful thing) that Puel did a lot of good for our club Dead wood out and new young talent in, is how i’ll remember him… 5 months after he was sacked, this could be his crowning glory!

The whole world smiles Posted 7 July 2019 Share Posted 7 July 2019 Puel had to go but you only have to look at our current suspected 11 to see that his legacy will live on for many years: Kasper: puel had no effect Chilwell: Puel bought him along brilliantly sticking with him in his first season when every supporter wanted him dropped for Fuchs. Ricardo: Puel signing Maguire: Puel had no effect Evans: Puel Signing Ndidi: Puel had no effect Maddison: Puel Signing Tielemans: Puel loan signing Perez: Nothing to do with Puel Harvey: Puel bought him back and straight into the side (although arguably a lot of managers would have done that after his WBA form) Vardy: went backwards under Puel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise he played nearly 500 games for Monaco and won the league title with them 3 times as a player and manager. I would say he had everything to with Youri coming here on loan from Monaco. 14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him becoming DOF apparently just happened to coincide with the most successful period in the clubs history? It all seems to have stemmed from a couple posters on the forum claiming they have heard negative things about him as a person, and it snowballed from there. But I’m yet to see any concrete examples. Not sure if the Adrien Sliva debacle was anything to do with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the way he's brought on Barnes and chilwell Evans was a target from before he got here Hit or miss based on First team activity Ward Miss Soyuncu miss Benkovic miss Ghazzel miss Diabbate miss Ricardo Hit Madison Hit Tielmans Hit im not sure his overall recruitment was good, it’s just the players that are hits are very good. which masks the £60m on players that were misses. But if the 2 young defenders go on to become good first team players then it will have been a good window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Babylon Posted 7 July 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 7 July 2019 ****ing Puel? About to pull off a signing I thought nearly nigh on impossible due to how god damn brilliant the lad looked and we’re talking about Puel. It’s as tedious now as the ITK shiiiite. To be able to see a whole season of this lad play for us at the least is worth the season ticket money alone. We are going to see some great stuff this year! 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm not sure every surporter wabted Chillwell dropped for an aging Fuchs. Just the short sighted ones. the Chilwell thread tells it’s own story. lets not pretend Chillwell was plucked from Obscurity, Plus Fuchs was the most taken on defender is his last full season.

City1884 Posted 7 July 2019 Share Posted 7 July 2019 25 minutes ago, Matt said: Whilst many people had major problems with Puel I think you have to hold your hands up saying not every single thing he did was bad, most of it but not everything. I said all of that at the time. The fact it was awful football, I was so disinterested and on the verge of hating something i'm so passionate about was where alot of people stand however. There were lots of comments at the time saying they could imagine Puel being a very good DOF that still remains, as a football manager, certainly in England, he's awful. He was bought in to do a job, he arguably did that job and we will probably look back and be thankful, but what we saw footballing wise was turgid, depressing, disinteresting, godawful football and something had to give. On either side of the argument regards Puel most people seem to find it hard to comprehend you can have such an opinion. Totally agree with this. I was firmly in the Puel Out brigade, and I still firmly believe it was the right decision to get rid, but i’m also willing to accept he did things that helped us. He cleared some of the deadwood, firmly started the transformation into this fresh new side we have now, and gave crucial game time to young players even though (arguably) they weren’t quite ready for it yet. (It clearly has benefitted them though). As stated though, we were playing absolutely turgid football, losing to teams we absolutely shouldn’t on a regular basis, we weren’t getting the best out of the talent he brought in, and our 20 goal a season striker looked isolated, lost, and therefore devoid of confidence and goals. Also, without Brendan coming in when he did, bringing renewed hope, confidence and results, I honestly think Maguire, Chilwell, Ricardo, Schmeichel, Vardy etc would all be actively looking to leave this summer, and players like Tielemans would have absolutely no interest in joining us now. Puel is due some thanks, absolutely, but we also got rid at the right time, and getting Brendan is already looking like a masterstroke. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
