Your first point I can agree with, can't be any worse, as long as King is his own man with his own idea's, it as to be different to Msrti's approach, or its pointless. Your second point we have a problem. This is the Nepo Baby, Rudkin, incompetent board et al we are talking about here, they have had 3 stabs at appointing a manager post Enzo, and all 3 have been fvcking abysmal, what makes you think they get it right in the summer. The only way we get a better manager is if the current b3ll ends have gone, taken Rudkin and the other crap and we have new owners doing the hiring... 1

Divert their attention to the real problem No idea if you're agreeing with me or not but please explain. We've had Cooper/Ruud and now Marti all 3 have failed to get the best out of the same players.
Dollfhin Posted 21 January Posted 21 January 44 minutes ago, Finnegan said: If we've learned nothing and we try and recruit yet another manager to play the exact same way as Ruud and Cooper then, yeah, it's going to be dreadful. What we need is our equivelant of O'Neill going back to Celtic or Shakespeare taking over after Ranieri. A back-to-basics, galvanising figure to come in as an interim coach and just get everyone fired up and doing standard things like running and pressing with some intensity. Everyone will laugh at the notion of this but there actually IS enough quality in this team still that if it was working hard and running hard it'd still pick up enough points to be easily top half. Actually a good point to be fair. However I've just made the same point on another comment that most of this team have had the same half arsed attitude across 3 managers. I genuinely think we need 2-3 years down here, with a manager the fans can get behind and a team he can build. If we think back to Pearson and Rodgers they both had their players for their playstyle but that didn't happen overnight.
kingfox Posted 21 January Posted 21 January 3 hours ago, oxtonfox said: Trouble is this team has no leaders either. A leaderless manager amongst a group lacking voice. Shocking.. No direction, no response, a passive acceptance of events. Excellent point. I’ve been thinking heavily about this as well since last nights performance. Every good team has a strong leadership group, at our best we had the likes of Schmeichel, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs, Albrighton, the younger players in the group could rely on them. Now our leadership group consists of Ricardo, Vestergaard, Choudhury, Reid, Ayew and of course Winks was an experienced head but he wants out. What could well turn out to be our strongest ever group of academy talent, they have to look towards an uninspired leadership group. We’ve lost some major characters over the years and simply not replaced them, it’s a massive problem in a long list of massive problems that are currently killing us. I look at certain teams in the Premier League, Brentford signed Jordan Henderson, Sunderland signed Granit Xhaka. Where’s our Henderson or Xhaka? We don’t have one and it’s killing us. 1
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 21 January Posted 21 January Please get Nigel Pearson in? If only as caretaker until end of the season. It's the only thing that will make me give a shit about this club again.... 2

I've noticed this as well, and I don't think it's by accident. The hierarchy have slowly been removing anyone who might speak out for the good of the club in both the squad and management team

If we think back to Pearson and Rodgers they both had their players for their playstyle but that didn't happen overnight. Pearson on both occasions built a squad yes - especially in his second stint when he threw the book at certain faces from the Sven Era (Mills, Danns, Beckford all didn't last long). Rodgers though? Most of his key players (Maddison, Tielemans, Ricardo in particular) were brought in under Puel, and he still had key members of the title-winning squad too (Vardy, Big Wes, Schmeichel, Fuchs were all around until the FA Cup win). He had early success in his first two seasons, then the moment his chosen personnel became regulars the rot set in. Fofana's about the only one I can give him credit for, and that's more for the mad money we sold him to Chelsea for rather than because he was really that great or improved us that much. Said the other day on here that given how turgid things are, we honestly wouldn't have been any worse off to just suck it up and have given Ruud the Summer window and see where we were at Christmas.

CarolinaFox Posted 22 January Posted 22 January (edited) What really frustrates me is the lack of proactive leadership from the club. We’re on course for a mid-table finish. That simply isn’t good enough for a club of Leicester’s size and history. At this point, I can only assume that the board’s priority isn’t competing for promotion, but rather avoiding relegation, balancing the books, and setting up a bigger rebuild next season. On some level I understand that approach. Sacking a manager and bringing in new players isn’t just a football decision—it’s a financial one. And if the club is trying to avoid another PSR violation, then money has to be the limiting factor. If that’s the case, then PSR isn’t just a regulatory issue—it’s our biggest opponent this season. It would also be the only rational explanation I can see for why Marti is still in charge. Because if the goal was to compete and push for success, the current direction and lack of ambition would be impossible to justify. Just so sick of how bad we look under Marti and not understanding why he's still here. Make it make sense! Edited 22 January by CarolinaFox 1
CrazyKopCorner Posted 22 January Posted 22 January Football can be a romantic game and Kingy as Manager and Nigel as Mentor / Director of Football could be a match made in heaven and we could get our Leicester back. It's worth a shot because this current Leicester incarnation I don't recognise 1

winteriscoming Posted 22 January Posted 22 January Ex players rarely do well coming back as a manager at a former club. I genuinely can’t think of many that have been successful. I don’t want King taking over on an interim basis till the end of the season. If it’s just till the end of the season I’d have Mowbray with King continuing in the coaching role. 2

BrilliantFox Posted 22 January Posted 22 January What time does Rudkin wake up? Sacking Marti should be the first thing on the agenda.

Next 2 home games are massive for this reason we have to be winning both Plus we still have to go to Fratton Park and this squad will crumble there as things stand.

FrankieADZ Posted 22 January Posted 22 January can fans stop suggesting Pearson to come in etc, hes not well enough to remotely do any sort of managers job atm christ 1
Ian S Posted 22 January Posted 22 January Only 8/1 for relegation, Marti will take us down. Making the same mistake as we did with Rodgers, waiting far too long.
Claudio Fannieri Posted 22 January Posted 22 January He is currently 6/4 favourite to be the next manager to lose his job but a way to go yet before it would seem to be a reality.
Nolucklcfc Posted 22 January Posted 22 January If we get beat Saturday, I think that’ll be the moment those outside of the club will really start to question how he’s still in a job.
