He's taken them from near the bottom of the 4th division to just outside the 3rd division playoffs. In a very competitive league with some big clubs in it. I'm not saying he's right for Leicester but he's obviously done a superb job.

This. The post above yours showing the 6 game form is a bit silly as every team has ups and downs and they played a lot of the top teams in that run, who they will be dwarfed by financially.

 

Obviously the expectation around Leicester will be promotion pushing next season. Whether he is ready for a jump from a team punching above their weight to a team with such high expectations in the league above, I don’t know. Even just on this thread, there are many people scoffing at the idea who no doubt would be waiting for the first loss to gleefully saying ‘I told you so’ if he did come. 
 

Personally I like him and he is doing the hard yards working his way up which is how it should be. There were loads creaming themselves over RVN due to his name and fashion sense and look how that is working out!

Get where you’re coming from, kinda. 
 

But there’s a very distinct difference between Wellens or Danny Rohl for example.

I'm not sure there is really, they have both taken teams with very low budgets and got them stable shef wed 11th in the champ orient 10th in league 1. The main difference being that Wellens has won a league title with his team Rohl hasn't

Think we would probably be best served going abroad/a big teams coaching staff like Enzo, best in the championship (Rohl/Corberan) are not options. Just make sure it’s based on their style not beating our shite twice in a row, which I think a toddler with some crayons and a sheet of paper could manage tactically this season
