Awful take. If they don’t get Europe and we stay up we’re the more attractive proposition by some distance. 

 

Better project. More money to spend in the summer. Bigger club. Bigger stadium both now and in the future. Better training ground. And a lot bigger of a contract.

Would like to think so, but I am not convinced we are as bright and vibrant a prospect as once we were and our ability to spend is up in the air

Did we pay Rodgers off? Any truth to the rumour that we had a clause to not pay him, if we were out of the cups and in the bottom 3? 

That seems way too convenient of a clause, but mutual consent does suggest we haven’t paid him off in full due to some agreement or clause somewhere along the line.

Absolutely no way

 

but it may have been a bit more palatable in this scenario than it was two weeks ago

Anybody who thinks that Thomas Frank or anyone else is coming to Leicester because of a few nicely mown pitches off the A46 is an idiot.

We’ll surely thrown in Youri’s (soon to be) old house in Quorn to any prospective manager as well?

Perhaps, but we’re still very attractive. Some on here have been a bit too Brendan brainwashed I think and think we’re a dead end club all of a sudden.

 

Our only obstacle is getting through this shit show of a season and getting to the summer, and we’ll attract the right sort of names we want.

The thing that worries me about the names being mentioned are that i think we could attract a really good coach in the summer. Someone like a Slot or Galtier, and you can throw the likes of Kompany in there too. So much depth. Especially when you consider any top job will be taken by Poch, Enrique, Zidane, Nagelsmann etc.

 

Which makes me think we don't give anyone a contract that lasts longer than the end of the season. For that I'd either leave it with Sadler and Stowell or bring Shakespeare back in.

Too  right, we are still a very good opportunity for someone, just hope we pitch it at the right sort of candidate, and I guess that is impacted by what we expect to be able too achieve this season.

Hutter was apparently in talks with Palace. Get the feeling with our lot it’s appoint the manager with the best agent. Certainly felt that way when we got Puel

I'm only quoting something I read on here, I have no clue, but it does seem a plausible clause. Brendan wouldn't have ever thought we'd be down there. 

I do feel that he's put us there on purpose as bad as that sounds, I'd rather he has just quit but don't think he could stomach that.

For Potter, it's interesting where he thinks his next opportunity might come if he skips us. West Ham maybe? But Rodgers will be after that too I'd imagine.

More than half of the managers in the PL have been fired in the last year.  He'll have plenty of opportunities and he knows it.

I think he probably just wants to wait till the summer. He might well come here. Wherever he ends up I imagine he'll want to put together a team to go in there with him.

 

At Brighton there was an entire team in place. He was the Head Coach, but the team is what made them successful. The Sporting Director Dan Ashworth is now at Newcastle (he was arguably just as important for Brighton). But Potter took some recruitment people with him to Chelsea (one of whom Paul Winstanley was made a Director and jointly fired him). And his backroom staff is all still at Chelsea.

Prefer his first match at Saltzberg :o

Putting to one side its Red Bull Salzburg, prior to joining them he led a tiny provincial Club called SV Grodig to a Europa League spot at the end of 2013-14 season. He joined RB Salzburg immediately thereafter in 2014.  

 

Given the size of the Club, to achieve that as a true minnow is miraculous even by Austrian Bundesliga standards.

I think the appointment of Potter depends on our next two home games.

Marcelino

Experience battling relegation and also guiding teams back to promotion

Intense style of play typically with 4-4-2 (not Dyche or Pepe Bordalás terrorism football though) it's compact, counter attack-oriented and importantly he's drilled in the fundamentals of his system quickly before

Plus hewon the Copa del Rey with Valencia despite Peter Lim's best attempts of sabotage

I think there's also an obsession with the need to have someone with previous Premiership experience.
