RowlattsFox Posted 16 May 2023 Share Posted 16 May 2023 It should be a job that interests a lot of managers. Despite the potential squad overhaul. Wonder if we'll go back in for Marsch? Hassenhutl could potentially be ok, I do think we need someone with a bit of energy who can maybe connect with the fans. As always I'd be surprised if we went for a manager in work, unless its from a low level. There is plenty of out of work managers who I can see our board looking at as they fit what they usually look for. Parker, Gerrard etc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we continue our form we will be mid or lower mid table championship easily. Tbf that’s a one off cup game. You can’t compare teams in just a one off game. Hence there are great examples of Cup upsets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markko Posted 16 May 2023 Share Posted 16 May 2023 Whoever it is they need to know what they are getting into and be able to manage on a shoestring. I hope some of those in the background who have their feet under the table go. When Pearson was here he built a team of hungry players who had pace and he looked for leaders not one but 7 or 8. That is what we are going to need. Recruitment and rehabilitation need looking at. Something has gone very wrong with both. In 15/16 we had the same team out every week. Injuries have crippled us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather there be a full investigation into why things have gone the way they have before we go sacking everyone. We’ve some top, top professionals in the sports science and medicine side of things, I don’t believe they are as bad at their job as the talk would suggest. I know up until 2016 at least, the club operated a policy where any staff member could voice their opinion and it would hold equal weight irrespective of their position. This made everyone accountable, manager, coaches, sports science, S&C, analysts, physios etc, we saw how effective that was and how it worked for a good period of time. I have my suspicions that a former manager probably wanted a bit more control than that, hence certain key figures leaving and our club becoming an unrecognisable shambles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Fannieri Posted 16 May 2023 Share Posted 16 May 2023 Has to be Pearson, someone who has a proven track record of putting in strong support structures, clearing out deadwood and building young hungry teams. The parallels with both his previous reigns are uncanny, one following a relegation and the 2nd time when we had assembled a floundering and overpaid squad and needed to go back to basics. we have a world class training facility and Pearson is renowned for building good sports science and medical teams, he would absolutely maximise the marginal gains of such a fantastic facility. He is also a very good operator in the transfer market, his philosophy and player profiles align with the clubs and most importantly he knows the championship inside out. The club needs a complete rebuild and foundations put into place that enables us to go back to what made us successful, clever recruitment, good coaching and top class sports science, conditioning and fitness. Our club has lost its identity and he is the man that will not only bring success on the pitch but also put in the foundations off the pitch that will enable us to push on again, but it’s going to a long hard slog…… 10 years work thrown up in the air and flushed down the bog by what can only be described as chronic mis-management across all levels of the club over the last 2 seasons or so. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Renard Posted 16 May 2023 Share Posted 16 May 2023 (edited) I would like to see Pearson back in a Director of Football role, we need someone who can reset the culture at the club, he needs full control over all football operations. As for the coach/manager I haven't got a clue who would come to Leicester. Edited 16 May 2023 by Le Renard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most important thing for me is to cut down on the coaching staff, too many voices on the bench offering absolutely nothing from Stowell and Sadlers time in charge. . I do not know why Smith is listening to Sadler, it is as if he has a direct line to Rodgers!!! What we are seeing at the moment is the muddled thinking of Rodgers and leaving out obvious players that could do a better job. In the end little blame can be apportioned to Smith, the situation was already bigger than an 8 game spell, but he is not the person we should be looking at, further down the line.

Couldn't agree more. In the history of football certain clubs and individuals just work. Pearson has been here on 2 separate occasions already and done a rebuild. I wouldn't be at all against a 3rd coming. Seems all set up, although it may be hard to prize him from bristol city. Have had a look on their forums and they think the squad has been rebuilt on a shoestring with hungry players now ready for a promotion push. Players with no ego and strong leadership is which is exactly what we need. Just imagine what nige can do with seagrave for example.

HitchinFox Posted 16 May 2023 Share Posted 16 May 2023 This thread, alongside the "which players should we sign for the Championship" one, is a desperately depressing read. The lack of quality in the suggestions is only made worse by the fact that they are realistic ones. We were never mighty, but we are certainly falling. And falling hard. The shock to the system will be severe next season and I do fear that we will go all the way down to League One if we're not careful. He's been pretty bad since we signed him, but Souttar is probably the only one prepared to deal with the type of football and cadence of games (46 per season + cup games) that's heading our way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa would be good but I doubt he would come, seeing as we didn’t even offer him the contract. My worry is we appoint someone like Russel Martin or Scott Parker, and we will just flounder in the bottom Half of the championship. Hasn't Scott Parker got promoted twice out of this division in a short managerial career? What's wrong with that? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AjcW Posted 16 May 2023 Share Posted 16 May 2023 I'm convinced Rob Edwards is an absolute superstar in the making. I think given he was burned by Watford though he might be after a bit of stability and Luton love him, so even if they don't go up he'll likely stick around. Also doubt we have the vision to appoint someone like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
