That approach hardly worked well post Maresca, a short term approach would be better appoint a manager that gets us promoted and then keep us up, and then look for a progressive manager with potential once we have stayed in the premier league.

But he wouldn't leave until proven in the PL so equates to your option. Any successful manager or player will leave us it's inevitable.

 

A short term manager would be difficult to find that plays in the style of a progressive manager so we'd be back to having team of the wrong type of players.

Well that would immediately rule out Dyche then.

Exactly 👍🏻

Dyche would love to have Ayew and Bobby Reid.

Decent imo foreign managers who are readily available and we have a realistic chance of getting. 

Urs Fischer 

Quique Sanchez Flores 

Brian Priske 

Bo Svensson 

Mark Van Bommel 

 

I know I’m wasting my time because there’s not a chance we’ll go for these or that these clowns have any idea who they are. 

[Fazzer 7]

Whoever it will be they'll be a bargain basement manager. What decent ambitious manager would come here with the clown Rudkin in charge and his understudy, Top.

Do people genuinely want this type of shit to potentially happen at Leicester City 

Hahahahaha that is abysmal, we have a potential golden generation of youth talent as one of the only things going for us and people want this as our manager

Even if they did know who these guys were they are more used to working in moderately competent football club structures. Zero chance of that at the current King Power Comedy Show.

My disdain for the ownership runs so deep I genuinely think Klopp and Pep would struggle at Leicester.

Terzic > Bournemouth

 

Big Ange > KPFC

An attempt to add some names from further afield:

 

García Pimienta

 

Just left Sevilla, but he's not the only manager in recent times who hasn't been able to get them back where they want to be. 

 

Made his name at Las Palmas, earned his badges at La Masia. Got Las Palmas promoted from the second tier, and kept them up.

 

If you want to try and replicate what Maresca did with our bunch in the Championship, this guy is very similar. Las Palmas had the second highest possession stats in La Liga with him in charge. Subscribes to the rule - if you have the ball the opposition can't score. Has proven this strategy can be implemented with inferior players, but the "Gerrit forward" brigade probably won't enjoy it.

[FoxesBraun]

Wouldn’t mind Farke if there’s any truth to this - although it is the Mail so probably bollocks

[davieG]

Worth repeating

 

Suggestions that City may hold off on sacking van Nistelrooy because of concerns over Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) for this financial year do not appear to stack up.

 

City are close to the wire on PSR for this season, hence their January business being limited to one £3m signing, but waiting for the new financial year to sack van Nistelrooy would be leaving it too late.

 

 

The accounting year runs to June 30. If City waited beyond that point to sack van Nistelrooy and appoint a new manager, they would be interrupting their pre-season preparations for the new Championship campaign.

If City do want a new manager in the hotseat to lead what they hope will be a Championship promotion charge, then they will need to make a decision on van Nistelrooy before June 30, and so in this financial year.

What so we could sack if we got promoted and then have to start all over again - No thanks.

It's being widely reported, so there may be something in it. It sound like Leeds are looking at how the previous six promoted teams have fared in the PL and have decided they'll need to be ruthless in order to survive. Good for them if so.

Fair but same can be applied to Dyche/Martin.

 

Slightly better option imo.

No thanks then. Reminds me of Rodgers and ‘death by football’.

 

I’ll take your word for it but Spain is a different division to England. You can’t beat teams with possession football in England unless you have similar quality players, it’s as simple as that.

Good on them if they roll the dice and show some ambition - take note Mr Rudkin.

 

Although imo if anyone is going to break the trend next year it’ll be Leeds with the current squad and financial backing they have, even with Farke

Has to be someone who’ll show faith in youth and im not talking about having a full 11 made up of academy players but consistently having some involved.

oh I agree.

How does one become 'good friends' with John Rudkin?!?!?!

 

Do they live near each other? Dyche is northants/leics isn't he? I know he spends a lot of time on nights out in Notts too.

He owns the flats that we stick our new signings in

It makes no sense anyway. You'd just stick him on Gardening leave if it was such an issue for the current period.

Rodgers generally kept about 55% of the ball. Definitely wasn't "death by football".

[winteriscoming]

If we hired Farke for next season and he got us up we would give him a 5 year contract extension even though his record in the premiership is awful. That’s how clueless our owners are.
