Prepare for next season now. Monga evans need to be playing now, mcateer does too skipp winks will stay give them time now, nelson if fit, daka needs minutes as if vardy is done at the end of the season he may be the one to start next season. Horrible season. 

Monga will never play for us.

He will be loaned out, impress and taken off our hands

[Leicesterpool]

Time for interim I think, just someone till the end of the season just till we decide what to do over the summer, I want to say Dyche but I'm not sure he wants to come.

Winning and losing goes so much deeper than the surface & if rvn is sounding beaten, how can the players react any different. Confidence looks at rock bottom & that is a huge problem. How can you respond to anybody that doesn't think you're good enough. Surely p1   of the manual is to make your players feel and play way beyond their ability! Unforgivable- just as it was with BR who did the same

[Levi Port]

We can’t afford to sack him he’s staying 

[FLAN]

I suspect the board would t want to sack him due to what he’d probably call out about broken promises. Maybe he has refused an NDA

The players turned on him and wanted him sacked, so the honest answer is likely we wouldn't of got another point. 

But it's also completely moot, he lost the dressing room and you don't come back from that, half the first team calling Top and Rudkin to complain about him wasn't going to end up with improved performances.

I'm sorry, but this is nothing but hearsay, unless someone who was there produces a document to that effect. The bottom-line is that under Cooper we were 17th, 2 points above relegation; we are now 19th, 6 points from relegation. A net effect of -8 points under the new manager, and with discontent not only among the fans, but among the players, spilling out for all to see, unlike the rumors you quoted as fact.

No worries, I would point you to almost every main stream media outlet that sited a disconnect with the players.

 

Outside of that, and I know you won't believe me but I know for a fact that 4 or 5 of the first team were telling the hierarchy he was out of his depth.

 

Out of interest why do you think he was sacked so quickly?

 

[GraceRoader]

The gap between the championship and the prem is colossal. I don't think it is possible to play attractive football and stay up. I watched Leeds the other day. You can see why they score loads in that league but if Farke sticks to his 'principals' like he did at Norwich they will drop like a stone. They are just not good enough to play the way they do in this league. It was really ugly under Cooper but we were scoring and scrapping a few points here and there. There was a plan.  RVN has not got a clue. I have never seen a worse organised defence in my life. Haven't a clue what is the way forward but it ain't this bloke. 

[DezFox]

I’m not sure if this is taken out of context but if Van Nistelrooy has said exactly this, he is basically saying I give up, not my fault, sack me. Get this test gone!! Awful manager. 
 

 

'We have to accept we are in a position now where every week we face a team better than us. I cannot ask players to do more than perform at the maximum of their capabilities. With the squad we have, it’s a huge mountain to climb to stay in this league. The situation we are in is alarming and the mountain we have to climb is huge

Would we not have to pay the remaining wages for the rest of his contract ? Surely at least 3 million

I really don’t think playing on the counter attack is unattractive. 
 

It never has been and never will. There’s genuinely never been anything wrong with it but football clubs are just obsessed with playing the pep way.

The pep way is dull 

 

Sends me asleep 😴

I don't want a goalkeeper that thinks he's a centre mid

Absolutely agree. Watching Brighton pass the ball relentlessly backwards and forwards along the back 4 is as dull as football gets.

Choose the best manager in the world and we still get relegated. It makes no sense to sack RVN now, nor over the summer. He must be given the chance to work with his players; we had no arrivals during the transfer window apart from Coulibaly, described by RVN as a good back up and addition to the squad. Don't forget both Ipswich and Southampton brought in several players; both concede as many as we did on Friday. We must stick with RVN and give him a decent run next season. And Dyche is not going to be our saviour!

It seems there’s a bit of revisionism going on with Cooper now. One of the major issues was that there didn’t ever seem to be any plan or system of playing.

I'm sorry but this is the worst effort by a Leicester Prem manager ever. How we could stick with this for another 12 games I don't know.

Well absolutely everything about the team has got worse. And by a lot. We would probably have dropped but not like this.

But he wont be here over the summer!

Simply because another clueless owner will be starstruck and offer him a better job sans Rudkin.

And frankly who could blame him.

I'm genuinely interested to know what you have seen in his managerial performance so far that gives any confidence at all that he can be an effective manager for us.

As to working with his own players; how many would that be?  Another 2, another 4, another 6, another 8? Whilst I'd agree we have not backed him in the last transfer window I don't see anything that gives me hope that things would be any better if we had. 

His post match interview with the BBC on Friday basically revealed that he has given up. Full of the "gap" between us and the likes of Brentford being unbridgeable.  His side's performance pretty much backed that up. 

Truth is terrible financial mismanagement followed by two terrible manager appointments and very poor recruitment has left us in the mess we are in. RVN was a gamble and one which has backfired spectacularly.
