It would be such a Leicester thing to view Ruud leaving as an absolute bolt out of the blue and we now take 2 weeks to bring someone in. How much compensation would we have to pay Rangers to get Russell Martin? 2
Motty Posted 29 June 2025 Posted 29 June 2025 2 hours ago, Product of 84 said: Hopefully, the appointment will be made public tomorrow. Looking back now the dust has settled I think Ruud was told his replacement once we were relegated. I also think his replacement was dictating selection over the last few games and talking to our players. I think that's why the youngsters have signed up. I hope it's not Dyche- I've convinced myself it's not. I think it's either Rohl or Carsley. My betting would be Rohl as the press believe he is leaving and wasn't at Wednesday for their pre-season work last week. Whoever it is- all I want is to see us play a style this season that, if we are fortunate enough to be promoted, we can use in the Premier League. I believe Vardy's 'shit show' phrase is about the transition from Maresca' s over playing to Cooper's pragmatism to Ruud's rigidity and inflexibility. Players can't keep adapting. They need a pattern/s of play instilled in pre-season to take into the league games. Andy King it is then. The late run whisperer. I can see it now. Ruud says to all the players as your so sxxt and don't listen you can all sit here for an hour and think about. Andy you stay and makes sure they read those pamphlets on pointless tactics. Andy 5 mins later, ok he's left let's start on these new and vastly improved tactics I printed out earlier when you ran round the training ground 30 times. Ok someone get the practice balls out and dust them off.

I’d be happy with Hassenhuttl. He’s readily available and has experience in this country. Would be just like us to sack a manager with the worst home record for not scoring in consecutive games to the manager with the worst home recorded defeat.. and then lost again 9-0 away.. "They continued to struggle throughout the rest of the season and won only four of their last twenty-one games" sounds like Ruud. I know they finished 11th the season before but is he really that good ? I do like the way he wants to play could work I guess.. Still think we will get Rohl though.

But if not him I’d have Hassenhuttl. I want us to look abroad but that’s not gonna happen. He kept Southampton up for 2 seasons despite those 9 nil defeats and has a decent record around Europe. Not outstanding but we’re not gonna get that with where we are now. I like Hassenhuttl and would definitely have him over Dyche. 1

Don't hate the idea of Carsley at all he plays some entertaining stuff with the U21s. Whether it would work at league level is yet to be seen but Bothroyd and Southgate have done pretty well after the setup. you don't have to negotiate with Chansari, Rohl has a buy out clause just pay it if you want him

I'm just not convinced King has that edge. Based on what do you know him? Again not advocating he is ready to be our manager but he’s never even tried it yet and people already saying he will never make it seems ridiculously harsh and unnecessary comment

Not for me - this time I think we need experience - I really do not understand the lack of appetite in some fans for Dyche Got Burnley promoted - punched above their weight for many seasons on a shoestring whilst maintaining prem status Kept Everton up with a mad owner and no budget Granted footy was 4-4-2 and limited but was not working with that much Still a prem manager that has got promotion and won’t have fancy dans like Faes, VK or Soumare anywhere near our team - do for me and I think it would be quite a coup to get him and every other club in this division would know we mean business !

There was evidence for all to see that ruud didn’t know much about us past or present and something tells me he wasn’t sat at home working overtime on new tactics or researching opposition. He likely relied fully on what he already knew. Andy King certainly wouldn’t have that ego and I’d bet anything when he gets a chance he’ll put as much work into being a success as possible. There’s a reason worse players tend to make the best managers because without top level talent you usually make it by sheer determination, work and using your head. 1
Popular Post Driver Posted 29 June 2025 Popular Post Posted 29 June 2025 Burnley fan. You might be surprised by Dyche in the Championship. We actually played some good football and he did get us promoted twice. The first time, second to you, we were favourites for relegation and sold our centre forward, Charlie Austin, the day before the season started. It worked out well as Vokes came into the team and struck up a good partnership with Ings. It became stale in the end but the board wouldn't buy anyone as they were looking to sell. Players were getting older and only Mcneil came in as a young player. He is also good at sorting clubs out and getting everyone on the same page. Did it at Burnley and Everton, who were in a right mess. He says he likes to mix it up so sometimes on the deck but go long when you need to. One season Liverpool were top of the tree for long balls but if it's Liverpool it's a long pass, if it's one of the lower teams the exact same pass is a long ball, so don't believe everything that is said about him or what you have witnessed over a few games out of the hundreds he managed. 10 6
MPH Posted 29 June 2025 Posted 29 June 2025 Can we just announce Rohl’s appointment and sacking on the same day and just get it over with?
Popular Post owlsend Posted 30 June 2025 Popular Post Posted 30 June 2025 Announcement today... Not go far wrong with Danny if he can perform miracles with a team that hit rock bottom . And with very low confidence I can only imagine what he's going to do with decent players and a good facility setup. Good look for the season Leicester I hope it all goes well 9 9

Lambert09 Posted 30 June 2025 Posted 30 June 2025 On 22/04/2025 at 10:54, Lambert09 said: He’s a possession focused manager but with an emphasis on creativity and attacking. or at least he is with the under 21s. I found that whilst he is focusing on possession he isn’t one to stop his players taking risks which is about the best balance you can hope for. Seems to have players focus on particular roles rather than rigid formation and that fluidity worked really well for the under 21s. I think the blueprint is perfect for a championship team who would be expected to dominate possession. It’s hard to say how he would fair in a relegation fight but one to worry about when you get there. he’s very highly rated by the football community, same sort of reputation as someone like McKenna before he went to Ipswich. Id be more excited for this than I was about Maresca so a high expectation from me. In fact, I think he is very much groomed for the next England manager, 4 or 5 good seasons with us then he replaces Tuchel… who says no. Still can’t believe there was a majority on here that didn’t want Carsley. By far the best option available to us and a real shame that it would seem out of our reach now. Superb tournament from him again!

Realistically there is very little reason to believe that Lee Carsley would leave his job to take over at Leicester. I don't think he's not wanted just unlikely.

Carsley is a coach and unfortunately in our situation we need a Manager. He looked really uncomfortable with the media when he was caretaker of the senior side and has little experience with club football. 4
