Next Manager

[winteriscoming]

We won’t pay for Rohl or anyone currently at another club. Seeing as we won’t look abroad I’d like us to get Mowbray. Just what we need an experienced manager at this level and not just a big name.

Bit of a mixed bag of results but I still rate Domenico Tedesco quite highly.

Burnley is also an absolute hole. That would have impacted recruitment.

I don’t think that matters now, players mostly only want to live in London or Manchester and just commute to wherever they need to

It's not snobbery it's just sense. 

 

I don't think Dyche football would be in any way an intelligent way to get us out of the Championship in the first place. Everyone's going to see us coming and be terrified even the second time around, teams are still going to be playing defensive against us and we'll still have to break it down. 

 

It's also silly to suggest getting promoted and playing anti football is the only way to stay up. 

 

We keep talking about Brentford, Bournemouth, Brighton, Fulham, etc on here but for good reason. They've all gone up and established themselves without having to resort to caveman football. They all had the good sense to know when they had to park the bus occasionally when the got promoted, it wasn't all naive silliness. But they're also capable of beating sides. 

 

I don't need us to hire the next Pep, I'm happy with a different tactical approach, we can play fast counter attacking football, sit in a lower block and wait for transition. I don't give a shit if we make like Nuno and win off 30% possession. 

 

But Dyche is a football terrorist. I don't want that shit. He's just one man out of literally tens of thousands of coaches on the planet, it's not a case of we either deluded ourselves we can perform some miracle and get Fabregas / Still OR get Sean Dyche. 

 

Who on here is going to claim they'd have thought of Silva, Iraola, Hurzeler or Frank before they moved to English football? 

 

Granted this is all moot because our board have no imagination and they've probably already approached Martin ffs but I absolutely cannot get my head around anyone as sensible as you are trying to justify Dyche. 

 

Why on earth would you want to watch that? 

 

Dyche wouldn’t make my top 10 but this is King Power’s Leicester we’re taking about - we appointed Cooper who is the ersatz/tinpot/heron foods Dyche anyway. 

 

Bournemouth/Fulham/Brighton were all

promoted into weaker PL seasons, the drawbridge has been pulled up now and there’s basically one or two weak links - there wasn’t in 21-23. Us, Wolves, Palace, Everton, Southampton were soft teams in a way there aren’t now (United maybe lol).

He’s had an under-resourced Burnley up twice and had a couple of top ten finishes, admittedly he couldn’t do it now but he’s more likely to keep a team up than ideologues like Martin.
 

The back end of last season was football terrorism. We played anti-football at Plymouth and Millwall, zero threat, zero impetus - it’s not like we’re beyond it.

 

Parker and Wilder have shown you don’t have to have 65% possession to go up. Burnley are 4th and Sheff Utd 9th whereas Norwich and Swansea are 2nd and 3rd.

 

Carrick is exactly the sort of touted manager that we’d walk into the trap of appointing; despite his teams being decent they lack the cutting edge with an over emphasis on short passing, with tidy enough players too.

 

If you detach his name, face and demeanour from his record it’s a completely different proposition.

 

Dyche has achieved more than Martin, Cooper, Gary O’Neil, Mowbray - the sort of pool our myopic twats are

looking in.

 

He can also manage upwards far better which is what we need. Substance over style is necessary.

There are people that would rather we go for Tony Mowbray, who has just been sacked by West Brom, than Sean Dyche?Good lord.

I think some people are clearly quite delusional - turning up their noses at Fabregas and Dyche - the former is never in a million years going to come to Leicester and the later we should be lucky if he says yes. Leicester City is a shambolic, terribly run club at the moment with evidence of being untruthful to potential managers about transfer funds, PSR looming over their heads, a jumped up squad with players who think they are too good to play for us and are on insane wages for their abilities. Honestly I think Big Sam would even think twice. 

[HankMarvin]

Parker linked to spurs 

Angie will need a new club 😂
 

Farke could be a free agent soon 

 

“ahead of appointing Farke, Leeds were blocked by Rayo Vallecano after making an approach for Iraola”

One of my friends has a mental health problem and has lost nearly all his memory due to the experimental drugs they are giving him.

He can remember very little of the last few years but sadly, and very weirdly, one of the few things he can remember is how bad Leicester have been.

Now that's tough.   

 

I have his permission to write this.

I'm convinced our own fans hate us and want to see us burn

I don't want any of them either though

 

Tony ****ing Mowbray, is it 2003?

Have felt for a very long time that Gary O'Neil is right up our street as a club.

Purely on the basis of proven history regarding youth development, yes. 
 

Mowbray has a fantastic history of working with younger squads, Dyche on the other hand is completely the opposite. 
 

But in an ideal world, I’d much prefer someone younger who also has a decent history of youth development.

He's a coach, not a manager. He'd be a disaster.

[lcfc_forever]

Romano posted that Fabregas is set to stay at Como so can rule him out. Seemed like a non-starter anyway given their position vs. ours. 

 

ChatGPT said Carsley should be the manager, probably a better judge than Rudkin! 

[Tuna]

Should clarify I'm not for a minute endorsing O'Neil, just feel he's up our street as what we would do as a club.

[RoboFox]

Leicester City are a Championship club, Andy King is back with the first team and Tony ****ing Mowbray is being mentioned as potential manager. 

 

Did I just wake up in 2006? 

 

What next? New signing Mo Sylla? 

[Nick]

What’s people’s thoughts on Lee Carsley?

[ramboacdc]

From previous experience we are all running a fools errand looking at people we have heard of. Has anyone checked the Ukrainian 3rd division to see if any of their coaches are looking for a new challenge? 

[Hirsty The Blue 94]

Same people turning their nose up at Dyche are the same ones that did the same when Moyes was linked after Cooper (not that he necessarily wanted to come)

 

He has achieved far more than some of the journeyman being touted about here, getting Burnley to Europe is given their budget was an outstanding achievement.

 

Think people fall into a trap of judging a book by its cover when talking about his style. It isn't just hoof it, he likes to get the ball wide, get balls into the box. To me that is more exciting than having 65% possession amongst your centre halves and goalkeeper. Also I would say it's much more likely to keep you in the Premier League (as he did with Everton despite being completely hamstrung.) Pearson falls into the same category from an outsider, they see him as some sort of Brexit manager, but our football under him particularly in the year we went up was entertaining, and the back end of the great escape the same.

 

He would have to be backed to bring his type of player in which to me would ne the biggest obstacle as can't see many of our pathetic mob being able to cut it.

Rumours Leeds are potentially looking to replace Farke, would prefer him to Russell Martin I think. 

[Sankey93]

Leeds rumoured to be getting rid of Farke for the premier league! He will be linked if that’s the case
