"Rafa has decided not to pursue managing Leicester City as he doesn't agree with the plan for the Championship. He feels like we are a shit club, with a board who 'don't know what they're doing' and also he's pissed off that the clappers are back."

I’m going to print this post, get some monks to embellish it with colourful inks and gold leaf and shit, and lob it into a massive and impressive frame. It is (by a country mile) the best post in this thread so far.

 

The forum should have an honours system. Arise Sir Lord ACF. 

That’s Baron Sir Lord to you. 
 

Just glad to be of service 🫡

What exactly is boring Benitez football? Because possession football can be boring too. Hoofball? Something in between? 

[Glorious Leicester Fan]

Whatever league we’re in next season, our team needs a major rebuild. The numbers of players coming and going will be significant.
 

Team cohesion is therefore vital. The appointment of a manager who can organise a squad (particularly the defence) and instil a footballing system that the players understand is vital. 

 

I think Rafa can achieve this.

Here’s a forward thinking idea. Rafa comes in, settles the ship ‘, Brucey bonus if he keeps us up and then get a number two to learn from him and can transition to a modern way of thinking.

Benitez certainly cuts a classy figure on the touchline. Just can't see him agreeing to come simply as an interim, which was yesterday's latest news.

Rafa is the safe, sensible option for any outcome to our season and for where we are now.

Paddy power has Dean Smith odds shortening in last few mins progressively and Rafa drifting. No doubt meaningless

Dean Smith, oh my word

Exactly. A wrong appointment and could be in a Martin Allen situation. 

[Gazza M]

Have we actually made an approach to Rafa then? 

[HUNTA84]

I think it's probably the most sensible decision and gives us the best chance of staying up. There aren't many managers that we could attract at the moment given our position, and it would be a huge gamble to pluck someone from abroad with no premier league experience. With Rafa, he has managed in the EPL, yes he's been relegated, but came back up and didnt shy the challenge. I think we just need to find a bit of stability going into the last 8 games and hopefully the players will respect what Rafa has achieved in the past over an unknown. His CV is by far the best of the managers linked so far.

Hence forth known as a Smith-Allen paradox

Bad, bad, bad move. 

[Nolucklcfc]

**** this board 

[themightyfin]

Looking like Smith. With option to extend if we stay up maybe? That'd the only deal I see here.

Yeah agree to disagree, don’t get me wrong though I was not trying to conflate lack of protest meaning they all supported him. 
But silence is indirect support. It’s the old saying “if you are neutral in situations of injustice, then you have chosen the side of the oppressor” 

you may not agree with that, but I mostly do. 
fans that said nothing whilst watching the club burn had a small part to play in not stopping this circus from turning into the dumpster fire it is now. I don’t want to see booing, but if it meant getting Rodgers out whilst the board were asleep, it needed to happen. 

Yep. I guess it’s helpful at times like this for us all to keep in mind that probably the one thing that can unite everyone on this entire forum is that we all want the best for our club. Given the breadth of backgrounds and views it’s natural that there are going to be differences of opinion on what that looks like etc.

 

Hopefully this sorry episode will conclude soon and we’ll be able to unite around getting behind the team again.

Ornstein saying it’s Dean Smith & Shaky until the end of season.
 

Ho hum - feels we are scraping the bottom of the barrel and not very imaginative but will give them a chance.
