The timings and news of everything coming out at the minute really does make me think Rohl is going to be the next in charge.

 

Rohl is trying to mutually consent to ending his contract, all his staff are out of contract something our club will be keen on.

 

Rumours that they are happy to start with Kingy as interim manager, is that because they are willing to wait for Rohl?

Also we have them at home on the opening day! Coincidence or just randomly drawn by the fixture computer?

I’ve always thought leagues have been pretty open about hand picking the opening fixtures and then randomising everything else.

Where's the rumour about Kingy as interim manager come from?

A Telegraph article yesterday said that King might take over as interim manager if RVN is sacked next week, but it didn't seem to be based on actual info, more guesswork.

Yep, the club are heavily restricting their comms to focus either on very positive news (like the contract renewals) or essential info. I think the legal team will be advising minimal comms given the PSR issue. 

 

So that's leaving the press to fill the vacuum with speculation - that Telegraph article didn't have anything new in it but was a decent summary of the recent developments that have been made public.

I don't think any journalists have much of a clue what will happen - that same Telegraph article said that while we're expected to sack RVN next week, "there are no guarantees that will be the case". As the article was written by a colleague of John Percy, it's fair to assume that even reporters usually considered ITK still don't have the foggiest idea what will happen. The links to Dyche over the weekend were also very flimsy - just a rehash of an old story rather than anything new.

Love Kingy but he aint management material. 

No he isn't. But he might be able to take pre-season training for a few days, or even a week, before we get somebody else in.

Why not?

 

I believe he was one of the main leaders in the camp when with us.  Set the standards with the younger players in the changing room.

 

He's probably more management material than you think.  An experienced pro that's played in League 1, Championship, Premier League (winning them all, so knows about pressure) and played in Europe.

 

A lot of the top pros at the club thought highly of him

I love kingy but there is more to being a manager apart from being a top bloke, role model and leader in the dressing room.

 

there is literally zero experience in the actual part about football management.

Pretty sure the Kingy as interim manager thing would just be him (along with probably someone else like McSweeney) taking the start of pre-season training when it is just the fitness testing until the new manager in place

 

Not that he would be overseeing us for the whole summer

You have to make the step up at some point, a good recent example is Tom Cleverly at Watford and also Keith Andrew’s potentially stepping up from set piece coach to manage Brentford. Sometimes the right circumstances dictate taking the opportunity when it arises.

He may turn out to be a fine coach but he's not a manager. He's widely regarded as a very nice and likeable bloke, but to be an effective manager you need to be ruthless and thick-skinned enough to make unpopular decisions. I just don't think he's the type for that kind of role.

Didn’t do Ranieri any harm as a manager

I think you'll find all football managers have zero experience in football management until they actually become a manager.

 

Danny Rohls football career was pretty unspectacular, but a large sway of Leicester fans seem to think he's the next coming

 

I'm not advocating for King to become our manager, but it does annoy me that it seems most people have an if he's English then he'll be shit mentality.

So what is it about Danny Rohl in comparison that makes him such a hit in comparison in some people's eyes?

 

He's had 5 minutes with a poor Sheffield Wednesday side and done an okayish job. His playing career is nothing to shout about. He is in some people's eyes German therefore foreign and glamorous but is that it, am I missing something? 

 

In comparison, King has experience as a player in different levels of the English league and is a qualified coach. Yes, Rohl has had 10 minutes as a manager and Kingy hasn't, is that absolutely it? Hardly Jurgen Klopp is he!

I think there is an instagram post from last year of him having all his quals.

Being nice and likeable doesn’t mean you can’t make tough or unpopular decisions.
