I find this kind of thing so odd.

 

You stuck with it with Rodgers and then decided it wasn't good enough now we are winning week-in-week-out and the players appear to actually enjoy football again? 

 

What made you quit?

I’ve been fed up for years and was planning to sack it off whether we stayed up or went down. The decision was made before he became manager and I didn’t renew in the summer, but the games I have been to or seen, have left me feeling pretty much the same.

 

That’s not all down to the football, I’m at a different point in life with a young family and a business to run. I’ve seen us win it all, so the appetite isn’t what it was. 

 

I’d need something that gets the blood pumping in terms of style to whet my appetite again I think. It’s no longer just about winning or supporting at any cost, I find that entertainment is now a massive factor, when in the past I just saw that as a bonus. 

 

Enzo has done a grand job and you won’t find me having a go at him about anything. Football in general, is just not for me at the moment. 
 

I’ll chat about it here or there, but I don’t really post much on here either any more.

Gonna be fun when he leaves and we get someone in who tries to play the same way but doesn't get results.

People still talking as if we're a small club with nothing.

 

I would imagine a lot of decent managers would like to manage us.

I guess the question is, would you prefer to see the 0-0 game we played against newcastle at St James last season, or the game we played last night? 

 

If its the Newcastle game, ask yourself why that might be.

Weird comparison. I prefered the 4-1 win against Spurs, or do I have to compare with only the Newcastle game?

I am pretty passionate about this as you can tell with my 100 odd posts on this topic 😂 I am a massive fan of Enzo and what he is doing, there is another point to factor in, most if not all the players have bought into his methods and talk passionately about his energy and focus ……. what do you think will happen if / when he leaves and we end up with one of the usual suspects in the job, and the wheels well and truly come off, but as long as get it forward quicker hey ho

If the games is about tactically outthinking the opposition by passing and drawing players out of position then if you're watching that you're not going to be vocally backing the team, it seems to me that this style of play will result in a much quieter atmosphere for periods of time when this is taking place and sometimes that is quite a long time. 

It doesn't necessarily justify 'get it forwards' but I don't think you can expect a non-stop noisy atmosphere.

Come on now, it would be career suicide to walk away when you are in this position. No one would employ him and risk it happening again.

C'mon, Ric, that's such a knee-jerk reaction.

Basically I want the stadium to be rocking, the fans right behind the team. I'm pretty sure each and every one of us has that same want. 

Absolutely we do but the fans seemingly refuse to get right behind the team unless it's playing in the exact way they want it to, which I think is what Enzo is confused about. I'd have thought at a certain point people would go "you know what, it's not necessarily how I'd ideally want us to play but it's clearly working extremely well, the manager and players are all on board and on the same page, there's no reason why they would start doing things differently, maybe I'll just get on with supporting the team".

 

It's not up to Enzo or the boys to create the perfect conditions for supporters to support the team and even if it were, they would have done a very good job of doing so.

Mate during lockdown I watched the Liverpool vs Newcastle game from 1996 which is considered a premier league class between two of the top teams in the league and I couldn't believe how bad it was. It makes me laugh when people wax lyrical about the Arsenal and Man United teams from the 90s and 00s when in truth the Man City team of today would rip them apart. 

Or bore them to death 

[Bert]

He’s not going anywhere.

I understand he has told the club if they don’t do any business this window as he requested he will leave in the summer.

Nah, not within the next few weeks. I wouldn't be too surprised if he's offered a job at a big club in Italy or Spain in the summer and jumps at it though.

Why is this always the option?

People said this before we ended up with Enzo.

 

We are a big enough club to attract a decent manager.

Even if the West stand were throwing eggs and him, and singing baldy baldy play it long, he isn't walking out on a Championship title on his CV. Not a chance.

Why would he? He knew what he was signing up for. We never do much (like everyone) in January. 

 

Stop spouting rumours that are blatantly made up. 

 

 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

The point about wanting a rocking stadium. Everyone does, at every club. The reality is very different, particularly in this country, and for many reasons… 

 

It doesn’t happen!

 

I’ve sat in the home end at Arsenal - my god that is way worse than the KP. Same with Man City (just listen to Pep!), or Man Utd. Even Liverpool after they’ve sung YNWA. This issue is not distinct to Leicester or the KP.

I dont think Enzo pulls the plug during the season. A promotion and one that is on course to be as convincing as this would be an incredible add to his CV. 

 

I can see him getting pissed off with the atmosphere, the middle manager director of football and man child owner that he leaves before the PL season starts. That is a genuine risk. 

 

He has come from a club which, despite its questionable behaviour is still very well ran. That can make the shock of the current Leicester leadership an even bigger shock. 

 

We should be buying into the philosophy we employed him for. That means everyone from the board, players and supporters. He is bringing success and its immediate success. You cant fault him on that. If he ever feels he hasnt got that, he just needs to time his exit right and he will get on some pretty decent jobs out there. Leaving in March/April on the verge of promotion would be based on bad advice and decision.

And after they were screwed over by rodgers I would expect them to show him the door …..

 

the board seem only able to operate in straight lines 

 

maybe they think potter would come if we’re a PL club (I doubt he would )

Don’t shoot the messenger but he wasn’t made aware we had to sell to bring in Sensi - comms are awful.

Who do you class as a decent manager? I certainly don't think we'll be able to do any better than Jesse Marsch if Enzo goes

[westernpark]

Away from his grievances with our matchday fire drills, surely his agent would have warned him regarding our incompetency, considering the agency/agent is the only one we deal with. He’ll stay till the end of the season but if there’s an opportunity to go at the end of the season, he will. I wouldn’t be surprised if he went to Brighton.

Suppose you could also pick from most of the other 38 rotting games that got us relegated.

Top level sport is about winning and that is the source of the "entertainment", nothing more, IMO.

In most top level sports, yes. 

 

Don't think that's the case in football though. A lot of "entertainment" comes from things other than winning. In the past 10 years, even when not winning, we've had some other sort of interesting drama. Banter with friends, colleagues, off the pitch stuff, schadenfreude about rival teams misfortunes etc. Not just style of play, although that is also part of it. It is all entertainment.
