They’ll stick with safe option. Cifuentes should have done that at the start of the season instead he stuck with the experienced shit we’re stuck with. We basically have the Spanish Steve Cooper in charge. What makes it even more depressing is that Russell Martin is a certainty to take over with these clowns in charge. It’s either stick with this clown and his shit anti attacking tactics and inability to motivate or try and find someone else with a better record than 1 goal per game. who that is I don’t know.

I wouldn’t mind if Cifuentes at least tried a different approach tactically. He doesn’t. It’s just change the personal and stick with the same system that hasn’t worked for 60 mins. 1

He hasn’t got any good ideas to start with. He has JJ, Ricardo, Fatawu and Monga at his disposal yet he has turned them into boring, greedy and inconstant players. I haven’t like him from the start, as soon as he said the clean sheet waffle I stopped listening to any interview. Then I gave him two back to back Soumare games. He’s just not very good at his job. It’s not his fault he passed the interview stage.
lcfc sheff Posted 2 November 2025 Posted 2 November 2025 I am one of the biggest supporters of giving a manager a chance but I think even I am done. give it King till the end of the season 2
Popular Post Vowels Posted 2 November 2025 Popular Post Posted 2 November 2025 Under no circumstances should we give the job to Andy King. Its a weird thing that so many people are obsessed with. He is already doing a bigger job than he probably should be. I'm surprised he's not been gifted Whelan's old job. What next? Gerry Taggart in as CFO? 7

No other reason not to plan for the future and start to blood some of the younger players as this point. The issue I have and will continue to state is we need to change the system. We don't have the players for wing backs, Fatawu cuts inside everytime which isn't good in a wing back. VK is wank, Ricardo isn't a CM, We need to go back to basics 442 and play players in their proper positions, play more direct with a faster tempo and overlap the fullbacks. Daka, Carranza Monga, James, Winks, Fatawu Thomas, Nelson, Okoli, Ricardo Stolarkzyk Left back and strikers are a problem, maybe Aluko at LB but I don't know anything about him. Strikers we could also play Ayew and Evans. We just have a horrible squad full of ***** and no creative midfield spark. The only player that genuinely seems to care is Fatawu, but we'll end up over playing him and he'll get injured. Edited 2 November 2025 by trooky 1
Popular Post Noahfence Posted 2 November 2025 Popular Post Posted 2 November 2025 I just want to watch some entertaining football. I don’t even care if we finish mid table. It feels like years since we were genuinely fun to watch. I have no idea what we’re trying to be under Marti. 6
chesterfox Posted 2 November 2025 Posted 2 November 2025 Confidence is a strange thing and without it players start to hide rather than perform, managers go on the defensive and fans start to get anxious. Look at Mavididi - apart from the fact that he can''t catch a break at the moment - at the best of times he is a good mood player and can't do the most basic thing right at the moment. Lack of leaders on the pitch, apart from Vestergaard they all go hiding but things can turn really quickly and need to starting on Tuesday. The problems however are deep, much deeper than Cifuentes. I think it is crazy to consider sacking him - win Tuesday and things change but the problems remain and that isn''t down to him. He is a good coach but hasn't been given the right tools to do his job - whoever bought Carranza needs to check whether he came with a receipt cos he should never wear a Leicester shirt again. He has to be bold and that means trying Jake Evans get the midfielders on shooting practice and I beleive we will improve. Promotion has to wait but the inquest of how this has been allowed to happen needs to be had......and we know that won''t happen 1
sm1 Posted 2 November 2025 Posted 2 November 2025 Just checked his Wiki page to see what he'd done before QPR. The answer, absolutely nothing, and that's in Scandinavian football. No wonder he paid to come here, he probably couldn't believe his luck.

Has done an incredible job at Stockport and his contract is up next summer. A rebuild is needed and he’s the sort of manager we should be looking at. I agree he is exactly the type of manager that should be under consideration. Plenty of experience in the lower leagues and reminds me a bit of Nigel Pearson. 2

Groby_Blue Posted 2 November 2025 Posted 2 November 2025 (edited) I really liked him when he first came. Said all the right things and did some good PR with those videos. The video of his first day at Seagrave was very encouraging. Looked calm, confident and in charge. Look at him now. He looks like he doesn't know what to do on the touchline and when the camera was on him yesterday, he looked like a rabbit in headlights. I just can't understand how we looked so good against Fiorentina to what we've seen since. It's a completely different side. I've only been to one match this season which was Charlton away. It was appalling. A team just relegated from the PL playing a side just promoted from League One and you genuinely couldn't tell which team was which. He's at the last chance saloon now and if we don't get anything out of the next two games I can't see how he survives. Who he gets replaced with is beyond me. It'll probably be Martin as the club just seem to troll us all the while now, but I can't think of anyone who could do anything with this shower anyway. The players are just as cupable as anyone else, if not more so. Edited 2 November 2025 by Groby_Blue

Has done an incredible job at Stockport and his contract is up next summer. A rebuild is needed and he’s the sort of manager we should be looking at. He's done an incredible job pretty much everywhere he's gone, just at lower league level. Perhaps employers have wondered if he's a guy who might not be able to make the step-up, but having heard him speak I think he's not a Martin Allen / Steve Evans type. The transition from League One to FLC probably isn't as great as the step-up from some foreign leagues. The big problem right now is that the squad needs a serious overhaul and it looks like that's impossible in the short term. While I strongly doubt that Cifuentes is the right man for the club, I can also sympathise with anyone who fails to get a tune out of this squad. Maresca managed, for a while at least, but he did have significantly more talent, and funds, at his disposal. I honestly doubt that anyone could turn that side into a force now.
Eskay Posted 2 November 2025 Posted 2 November 2025 (edited) His interviews do my head in. There's absolutely nothing football related discussed. It's the same old crap of sticking together and needing a reaction. Offers nothing in terms of positions doing well or not so well. Only talks about the game in regards to phase of each half etc. I worry that his knowledge is incredibly limited and underestimated the oil tanker that is King Power FC Edited 2 November 2025 by Eskay 1

Trouble is we could be swapping places with them, which a couple of seasons ago would be unthinkable. But your right him maybe Wellens or such like need to be looked at .We are not even a top championship club ,so anyone thinking we can attract a top name manager think again ,them days are gone . 1

Trouble is these players barely gave RVN, a hugely successful player an ounce of respect when he tried to raise standards and change the rancid culture at the club, so I really can’t see some of this current mob giving someone like Challinor the time of day. the sooner some of this mob move on the better and then we can fully reset with a focus on young hungry players that buy into a project and a culture of the highest standards. Rather than some who think they are bigger than the club and this division.

I’m getting round to that way of thinking. We desperately need another Pearson type rebuild. Him and Wellens should be who we are looking for that.

john ridley Posted 2 November 2025 Posted 2 November 2025 (edited) We need someone similar to when Brian Little came in and turned things .But to achieve that most of this squad need to go and be replaced with hungry championship,league 1/2 players hungry to prove a point,rather than players on their way down with shit attitudes.
