He's probably a decent bloke - He certainly handled the tragedy well but unfortunately I'll never forgive him for dropping Vardy. 

 

I went all the way to Brighton and on the coach journey finding out that we only had Shinji upfront I knew he had to go. Vardy came on after about 60 minutes and ran the show and got us a 1 - 1. 

 

It's probably the singularly dumbest selection decision I've ever known and in my book totally unforgivable  

"Jamie gave us this feeling to believe in ourselves. It was important to protect him in the first half because he was injured for two weeks, but I wanted to bring him on in the second half."
 

Apologies on a post card to Mr Puel, France.

Jamie did not look injured when he came on for sure and looked more than a little frustrated. 

 

Apology declined

I don't get the hate towards puel. He made some great signings, was a decent transition coach and did his job to the best of his ability. I hope he does well. He wasn't the devil in human form. Just be respectful and move on 

Agreed! I'm guessing that the majority of people on this post venting a real dislike towards Puel's time of being here and saying he was among the worst ever managers here are those who must suffer from acute amnesia who surely can't recall that five years or so of sheer "treading water" mediocrity in the Championship before the shock of a trip down to League One - or who only started supporting us after we won the Prem. pehaps?!  Also those who were likely to be too young to remember some of the times under Peter Taylor when his promising start after O'Neill turned to dust - then before that things like the Pleat years and others mentioned before Pleat's time like McLintock. To label Puel as being among the worst ever managers this club has ever had is rather bewildering!  
 
It's fair to say the football wasn't great or enterprising under Puel at times and he wasn't the most interesting interviewee but that was probably as his command of English wasn't the best. He also didn't cover himself in glory with his deprioritising the cup competitions or indeed dropping Vardy on that one occasion. Moreover though it was he who basically managed to stabilise the club in the Prem. after the mess we were left in after Ranieri's and then Shakespeare's sacking four years ago when we were only going one way at the time - while impeccably overseeing the darkest hour/era in the club's history (helicopter crash tragedy) .... whilst also spotting/buying some real talent along the way with a little help from his friends - Maddison, Pereira, Tielemans (initial loan). His successor BR is a better fit for sure but BR inherited a much better squad than Puel, lest we forget!

Surely the “worst” manager we’ve had recently if we had to pick one would be Paulo Souza?

 

Now there was a manager who literally came in and ripped up a lot of work, especially around player fitness behind the scenes - wasn’t he also the one the Birch alluded to who had removed the “Foxes Never Quit” logo from above the tunnel?

 

I remember Portsmouth absolutely destroying us under his leadership, including us taking a kick off and them nicking the ball and scoring again within seconds, we looked beyond lost as a side with no idea what we were doing.

Holloway, however, gets away with murder really - said recently in the "worst ever managers" thread. It's as if he didn't come in with 30+ games left of a Championship season and the division's best defence. We weren't great, and a circus off the pitch - but that squad shouldn't have dropped into League One.

....spot on...!!!

His time with us should rank very high up as one of the worse.

  He knew getting this job was too big for him, it was as if Christmas had come for him everyday.  I saw him at Fosse Park before his first game and you can see he had gone on a spending spree, so many bags and waiting for a taxi or someone to give him a lift, far too much to carry.

  It just never seemed that he believed we could fail with him at the helm. His personality and humour was going to see us right.

  How wrong he was!!

Que? I mean it's BS from Mr Claude as he got pelters for it - Keep up It's not difficult 

 

As I said he was a decent bloke and there were some good things during his tenure so not a Claude hater but ultimately he had to go and citing his well known dropping of Vardy is an example of poor management in my book.

He clearly was not injured - were you at the game as a matter of interest? 

Oh…. You can’t read.

How many syllables do you need? 

Puel explained he had been injured before the game: https://www.brightonandhoveindependent.co.uk/sport/football/leicester-city-striker-jamie-vardy-could-miss-brighton-hove-albion-match-205443

 

Puel explained he was being cautious after the game as he hadn’t been back training long.

 

And your evidence to the contrary was that he “didn’t look injured”. Why the fook would he look injured.

Just because you write something does not mean that it is true - Puel dropped Vardy on more than one occasion 

If I post all the evidence and quotes clearly stating he’d been injured before and after the game, it proves me a damn site more right then you about the Brighton game. 
 

He dropped him once! Spurs. Unless you think Rodgers “Dropped” Vardy in midweek and didn’t rest him.

You're a bit of a twonk aren't you. 

 

 

Says man who bases an opinion on whether someone had been injured previously, on how injured they look for their game back.
