foxfanazer Posted 5 June 2025 Posted 5 June 2025 Carrick wouldn't be as horrendous as some of the other names mentioned but just feels dull and uninspiring
pmcla26 Posted 5 June 2025 Posted 5 June 2025 I’m convinced from some of these suggestions that people haven’t actually watched any of Middlesbrough, Southampton or Sheffield Wednesday in the last 2 years. Absolutely baffles me who the popular choices are on here.

He’s accused of being too slow and predictable and having no plan B. They’ve gone backwards for 2 seasons and they feel the squad was good enough to finish much higher than teams they’ve finished behind. A firm no to Carrick from me. If he isn’t good enough for them, he’s not good enough for us. Despite what frustrated Middlesbrough fans may think, the reality is that in player terms, I don't think he had much to play with tbh. Like many managers now, when they first arrive they appear to do a very good job. Carrick was no different and there were quite a number on here who would have willingly had him. As time passes and players get comfortable and cliques start in the dressing room, managers seem to lose their influence. Carrick is no different. Beggars (us) can no longer be choosers. There's not going to be many managers out there that would want to come here! The club is a mess, that much is quite transparent now and yet again we face a potential points deduction, which is hardly a sweetener! Some blue tinted folk don't quite seem to accept it. I don't think Dyche, like Potter, would touch us at present. As for Carrick I don't know but I'd far sooner have him than Russell Martin!
trooky Posted 5 June 2025 Posted 5 June 2025 We need to sack our manager before we appoint a new one and that isn't going to happen unless the board start talking to RVN. What a ****ing farce. 1

Arjan de Zeeuw? Ed de Goey? Vincent Tabak? Edited 5 June 2025 by TamuffFox

However I guess a gamble on an unknown manager without any experience or dealing with a PSR breach would be the best for Leicester. League 1 awaits. Indeed, and if we were in the bottom three of the PL facing a points deduction and desperately needed somebody to come in and make us defend well enough to grind out some ugly results and maybe stay up, I’d agree that Dyche might be that man. But that’s not our situation. We’ve already been relegated and we need to rebuild with a clear vision for the future. We’re not battling against relegation next season - our aim should be to be at the top end of the division whether or not we get a points deduction. To do this, we need a modern, tactically-intelligent manager who will promote youth and enable us to return to a more sustainable model, not a dinosaur who scorns the very concept of tactics and whose transfer strategy would likely decimate the value of the squad. 2

I agree the sustainable model is how we thrived, and I wouldn't chose SD. One thing that worries me slightly is "modern, tactically-intelligent manager", as not that could be anything. People in the game like Pep would say Russell Martin is that. NP wouldn't have been described as that even. I think what we need is a flexible manager, that can work with what he's got but also help build the whole club again, work with the youth players too. I don't think we are going to have changes at board level, so we need a strong manager tha can bring in good people to support that culture change.

Not my choice but just a coach out of work. No from me, I'm not a big fan of "Mr Charisma" Did you see how lifeless and boring England were under him. 1
Happy Fox Posted 5 June 2025 Posted 5 June 2025 I can see Carrick going to Bristol City, don’t think he’s the calibre of manager we would go for imo. 1

He's far too 'establishment' for us wanting to do everything the right way (as they see it) and is just ever so nice. We need someone a bit rough around the edges and isn't afraid to use the dark arts. Also a personality that makes a connection with the fans and pumps us up. Unlikely that Southgate would want the job anyway, fortunately.

Lol Pls LCFC Board just fvcking act, come out and either back RvN or go get Rohl. The release clause is naff all compared to prospective player fee's we will spaff up the wall. I'd rather miss out on a mediocre defensive midfielder that we don't need and actually some youth instead, than miss out on Rohl. Edited 5 June 2025 by Guppys Love Child 1
winteriscoming Posted 5 June 2025 Posted 5 June 2025 Rohl will definitely be this summer’s Corberan. 2 1

Spudulike Posted 5 June 2025 Posted 5 June 2025 Clubs, not just us, seem to be very reluctant to pay manager compensation. Not sure why as the manager position is so important. Rudders probably did very well with the £10m Enzo compensation clause which got us out of a sticky PSR swamp. 2

Presumably it's because managers generally don't have any resale value. Nonetheless, it still seems like a massive false economy if it means choosing an inferior candidate who isn't up to the job. Obviously we'll never know what would have happened last season had we forked out £3-5m for Corberan, but the way he completely transformed Valencia suggests he may well have kept us up. And apparently he wanted the job, too - such a missed opportunity. 4

Jakemoore Posted 5 June 2025 Posted 5 June 2025 Compensation should be earned. It should be based on a certain win % or points total. I can’t get my head around having to pay RVN millions of pounds for being shit.

Popular Post Claudio Fannieri Posted 5 June 2025 Popular Post Posted 5 June 2025 Frustrating that we wont pay compensation for a manager who effectively is the person to set the whole tone of the club and yet have no issue spaffing big money on shite like Skipp, Ayew, BDCR and Eduoard. Absolutely baffling mindset from the club. 5
Guest Bilo Posted 5 June 2025 Posted 5 June 2025 (edited) Dyche would have been perfect for us in February 2023 or November 2024, but wasn't available in either of those. We lacked fight, identity and resilience in either and there was little to no chance of adding to the squad. Dyche would, especially in the former, have dragged us to survival even if the football was repugnant. We'd have had to jettison him within 18 months as dragging a poor side playing poor football to survival is probably the limit of his abilities these days, but he'd have done it. But what Dyche is is an underdog. A guy who can rally his team to fight hard against better sides despite the odds. Backs to the wall stuff. Great if you're in a relegation battle, not so much if you're wanting to go up with one of the better sides in the division and build a sustainable base to stay up. He doesn't play young players, the football is horrid and he hasn't managed in a situation where his side have been favourites in a decade. Edited 5 June 2025 by Bilo
Wsl Posted 5 June 2025 Posted 5 June 2025 The more this goes on, I worry the greater the prospect that RVN stays. There's no harm in announcing they are looking for someone else - either they pay up what he is owed if they terminate early or they play out the contract, but there's been some suggestion that they two are linked - they're not. It's very frustrating and just drives the disconnect between the fans and the Board.

Oddly, he may be interested (unlike some on some wishlists I've seen) but I agree we need a manager to grow with, who will be able to build a team for the long term. It drives me mad that, when we're up against it, we don't use one of the good things we've got, which is the young players.
