He doesn't have time to get to know the players on a personal level. His recent managerial appointments have been failures. Most at a lower level. His last Premier League game was over a decade ago following a run of 8 games without a win. He prefers a 3-5-2 which doesn't accommodate our top scorer. The positive is that the fans love him and it won't be quite as toxic when he takes us down. We need a proper tactician with up-to-date knowledge of top level football to come in and steer the team to safety. Reality is that there isn't really one available. The only one I can think of would be Benitez and he's supposedly a slow starter and we don't have time to get results going. We have Bournemouth, Man City, Wolves and Leeds in our next 4 games. We need minimum 7 points from those 4 if we want to have a chance. Not only that we need to avoid being spanked by Man City because goal difference is the only thing going for us right now. Benitez is going to want a long deal and he is definitely not the manager we want in the long term. You've hit the nail on the head the reality is there isn't an ideal candidate available for 9 games but what MON will bring is experience and he will be the appointment that will get the fans onside immediately, the buzz around the place would be unreal which will help. I'd sooner have that than a manager like Allardyce, Hasenhuttl or Pardew who the fans won't take too. 7

Popular Post Blue Ed Posted 6 April 2023 Popular Post Posted 6 April 2023 Ahhhh the good old 1990's. Return of the Mack blasting out at half time across Filbert Street, Baggy kits and Walkers Crisps. Claridge's goal at Wembley. Chat in the pub..."Steve Guppy! he'll sort out England's left midfield problem! You're not wrong mate!" Happy Dayz! 5

He probably feels like he is wasting his time as the only one who looks to release him immediately is Albrighton. If you have to wait for the build up before they think of slipping you a pass, by then it will be too late. We had the space behind the Villa defence, admitting their keeper swept up well, but balls played to Vardy's head is not going to help him or us. You have got to be looking into the channels where their keeper is not going to come out and look to play.
Cincinnati Fox Posted 6 April 2023 Posted 6 April 2023 Simply sacked Brendan too late. Should have been gone in September. but didn’t Happen and then simply had to give new manager international break and x3 game from palace to Bournemouth. That was our chance to get out of it. We are fcuked
HankMarvin Posted 6 April 2023 Posted 6 April 2023 2 hours ago, sacreblueits442 said: ... he is a good coach, we lost an asset when we sacked him as a manager!!! Managers and their coach mostly always leave together, him not being kept on means very little. I suppose the big worry for a club who has kept him on would be the possibility that he looks to join his previous manager- colleague at their new club. Football moves on fast, as for him not being kept on, It’s great you have spotted that he is a asset from afar but the 4 clubs he has worked at since that had players trained by him daily all seem to have let that asset slip through their fingers with zero resistance.

Manley Farrington-Brown Posted 6 April 2023 Posted 6 April 2023 If he did come back some of the now middle-aged fans who get all excited by it will be the same ones who loudly told him to f**k off all those years ago.

Mickyblueeyes Posted 6 April 2023 Posted 6 April 2023 O'neil in his first interview being asked about the "low press", "high press", quarterback role. I think he might punch the reporter.
ceebeefox Posted 6 April 2023 Posted 6 April 2023 My happy memories of an O’Neill Leicester is akin to watching Brentford now, when you get it out wide don’t think about it whip it in the mix and let the strikers attack it. 3 strong central defenders long throw ins etc. And what’s wrong with that? We have the defenders, we have 3 strikers for 2 spots, 4 if you play Barnes as one because he might not track back and put his foot in enough for a wing back, Ricardo on the right though. 3-5-2 was attack minded in an O’Neill side and a current Brentford one too. 2
nettle Posted 6 April 2023 Posted 6 April 2023 What I remember of O'Neill is he was a great man-manager and that team he had would run through brick walls for him. Has he still got it in him to replicate that probably not but it could be worth a go. 1

He clearly knows his football, he has an excellent record, I do t understand the negativity, in the footballing world I can't see what harm it can be to give him a 3 year contract.

Fightforever Posted 6 April 2023 Posted 6 April 2023 We may as well just bring in Big Sam if we are needing someone short term.

Clever Fox Posted 6 April 2023 Posted 6 April 2023 Martin is an emotional speaker in like Ranieri, But that's all he offers. We'd still need a top Coach to work with him. Not likely to happen for the short term.
