Just now, Pliskin said:

The job he’s done at SW is actually unbelievable… they were dead and buried when he took over, and it’s clear they’ve got mountains of problems behind the scenes. Yet despite all of this he’s managed to keep them up, and last season within a short distance to the playoffs. He’s very, very highly rated and will eventually go on to manage a top side. 
 

He would be a million times better than Wilder or O’Neil. And a better long term option than Dyche. 
 

Hiring either Wilder or O’Neil would be a disaster IMO, and both would end up being sacked, and both will end up costing more to hire, invest in and sack, than Rohl will be to get out of his contract.

I take the point, but that cannot be a strong recommendation as that is not our situation (yet) and all this about cost to sack Wilder or O'Neil is hyperbole, as there is a half decent chance any is these less desirable names could at least get us into contention, then the sacking question becomes moot. 

 

This is no recommendation of any of the potential names, as they all have risks and downsides.

The top names on our supposed shortlist, other than the unknown or Rohl (who for me is by far the best option) will all have the same inevitable end. Looking at the history of Wilder, Dyche, O’Neill - their spells have ALWAYS ended in a sacking at the top level - and a fair sacking due to football reasons. What would be different about them being within the current Leicester set up that would mean they’d suddenly become a success and not sacked? The answer is nothing, all have failed at equally well/badly run clubs as us with a similar squad strength to what we have now and it will be a case of rinse and repeat.
 

None of them have the aura of a manager like Maresca who can motivate players to play above their level. All have been tainted by past sackings that have been fully deserved. An appointment of a manager within the merry go round of the usual suspects at this level, very much including Wilder, Dyche or O’Neill will be the final proof to the players as well as us fans after the Cooper fiasco, that we are aspiring to be Middlesbrough or Stoke. Teams that are happy with being underwhelming also rans in The Championship.

I cannot believe this. They've had SO long to work on this appointment and it's ****ing Gary O'Neil???

 

Absolutely clueless negligent *****.

Sheff Weds preparing for life without Rohl, go figure. 

Hang on a minute...does that mean they are accepting Röhl is leaving somewhere? Like, I don't know....Germany? lol

I'd take GON over Wilder every single second of the week, Wilder would fall out with everyone for starters 100% the bottom of the barrel.

A properly run club at our level wouldn’t consider either of them OR Dyche. Southampton certainly wouldn’t and  recruiting Will Still shows way more ambition.

Burchnall’s a Leicester fan pretty sure.

We also seem to want these underwhelming choices at the wrong moment, too. Cooper, having finished in the top six three years in a row would suit a promotion bid better than a survival season whilst O'Neil would be more understandable in a firefighting type role last February to give us a boost.

I did miss that, twice earlier

 

And now you’ve just made sure I didn’t miss it a 3rd time just before I settle for bed.

We like to hope for the best and give our board undeserved credit. 

 

I've all but accepted it's O'Neil. I'm on the counselling trail already. 

If Wilder and O’Neil both wanted to the job, why on earth would they choose O’Neil?
