dooflip Posted 18 January Posted 18 January I’d take warnock or big sam at this point. hassenhutl a good shout, as is Mowbray and several other names mentioned. just not Brussel farting please. 1

Not that these clowns would consider or have even heard of them. Franck Haise Bo Svensson Bo Henriksen Diego Martinez Martin Demechelis I hope we take one of those two, we’d be a Bo Selecta
Loxm Posted 20 January Posted 20 January Liam Manning ey… One from Top and Rudders shortlist in the summer and 6 months later he’s been sacked by Norwich and now in league 1

Not sure why things didn’t work out at Norwich but he’ll do well with huddersfield and will be taking points off of us next season
Gazza M Posted 20 January Posted 20 January Anybody who can sort a defence. Would take fat Sam at this level in one last hoorah. He is corrupt so fits the KP bill.

FrankieADZ Posted 20 January Posted 20 January 3 minutes ago, Molson Canadian said: Chat GPT 🏆 BEST REALISTIC MANAGER CANDIDATES FOR LEICESTER CITY 📌 1) Gary O’Neil — TOP REALISTIC PICK Current status: Out of work (free agent) after being dismissed by Wolves in Dec 2024. Why he’d work: Experienced in English football and Championship‑type battles. Pragmatic, adaptable style — can organise a defence and get players working as a unit. Has managed Bournemouth and Wolves, keeping teams competitive with limited resources. System fit: 4‑2‑3‑1 or 4‑3‑3 with two solid mids protecting the back four and quick transitions — great for Leicester’s current squad balance. Cost: No transfer fee; compensation usually only related to contract terms — cheap and practical. Why he fits Leicester: He brings discipline and structure, addressing Leicester’s defensive chaos and inconsistency. 📌 Verdict: Most realistically attainable manager who could stabilise and push for promotion. 📌 2) Danny Rohl — ATTACK‑MINDED & READY Current status: Available now — recently left Sheffield Wednesday by mutual consent. Why he’d work: Modern, attacking coach who gets teams to play progressive football. Good at motivating squads in adversity — Wednesday overperformed at times under him. System fit: 4‑2‑3‑1 focused on connecting midfield to attack — ideal for Leicester’s creative players. Cost: If out of contract, no compensation. If clubs negotiate, there might be a release clause (~£5 m) but could be negotiable. Why he fits Leicester: His style could unlock attacking talent and give Leicester a clear identity going forward. 📌 Verdict: Great pick if the board wants attacking football and smart tactical play. 📌 3) Sean Dyche — DISCIPLINE FIRST Current status: Out of management (recently out at Everton); would likely consider Championship jobs. Why he’d work: Proven in tough league battles — keeps teams organised and mentally strong. Excellent at building defensive resilience and grit — something Leicester badly needs. System fit: 4‑2‑3‑1 with a strong pivot; emphasises compact defending, direct transitions, and work rate. Cost: Could attract him without huge fees; likely higher wages due to Premier League experience, but still within Championship club reach. Why he fits Leicester: Would bring structure and fight, especially if mentality has been weak this season. 📌 Verdict: Best for immediate defensive solidity and mental toughness; style is pragmatic. 📌 4) Chris Wilder — EXPERIENCE + CHAMPIONSHIP SAVVY Current status: Manager available (not currently tied down to a club). Why he’d work: Championship‑seasoned — led Sheffield United from League One to the Premier League. Aggressive, organised style that makes teams hard to beat and well drilled. System fit: 3‑5‑2 or 4‑2‑3‑1 — gives structural discipline and makes the squad tough to break down. Cost: Free agent, so low cost beyond wages. Why he fits Leicester: Has a track record of over‑achieving in England’s second tier. 📌 Verdict: A strong Championship veteran who could steady the ship. 🧠 WHY THESE MANAGERS FIT THE CURRENT TEAM Leicester’s actual squad has: ✔ Players capable of Championship leadership and experience ✔ Creators and attacking options that need structure ✔ Defenders who need a clear system and coaching ✔ Midfielders who could thrive in a solid double pivot This means Leicester need a manager who: ➡ Builds discipline first ➡ Structures defence and transitions ➡ Gives a clear system every week ➡ Can work within Championship budgets All of the above candidates tick those boxes. 🧠 BEST SYSTEMS FOR THE CURRENT Squad 🥇 4‑2‑3‑1 — Best Balance ✔ Two midfielders protect defence ✔ One creative #10 links play ✔ Wide attackers stretch the pitch ✔ Striker benefits from supply and movement Why it suits Leicester: Adds shape and defensive cover Maximises attacking talent Gives clarity to players week to week ⚡ 4‑3‑3 — Alternative (if midfield discipline is strong) ✔ Midfield trio gives control ✔ Attacking wingers ✔ Compact transitions Why it’s good: If players understand roles, creates midfield dominance Offers flexibility if teams press high 🧠 ABOUT COST AND REALISM 💰 Gary O’Neil: Free agent — cheapest, most realistic managerial switch 💰 Danny Rohl: Likely available — low to moderate cost (~£5 m max) 💰 Sean Dyche: Available — may ask slightly higher wages but still affordable 💰 Chris Wilder: Free — championship savviness at low cost yeah thats funny cos all are in jobs

FosseSpark Posted 20 January Posted 20 January I vote for Brian Little. Get the band back together Poole Mills Walsh Smith Lewis Joachim Agnew Thompson Wright Ormondroyd Gee 2 1
winteriscoming Posted 22 January Author Posted 22 January Not that we will but we really should be looking at Skubala and Challinor. Especially Skubala. Doing a great job at Lincoln. Before anyone says we should be looking higher than that look where Little, O’Neil and Pearson all started. 2

Doing a great job at Lincoln. Before anyone says we should be looking higher than that look where Little, O’Neil and Pearson all started. This is a bit of a stretch, as both O'Neill and Pearson had stints at clubs around the size of Leicester before managing us. Plus, plenty of highly rated managers we got from the smaller teams / lower leagues flopped - Martin Allen, Peter Taylor, Ian Holloway. In our current predicament, I think we should be looking at somebody experienced with a no2 ready to take over in 18 months. We need somebody who knows this level inside out and is going to command respect from a dressing room that needs straightening out. Nigel Pearson would obviously be a strong option if he's healthy. Failing that, Tony Mowbray could fit what we need well. Edited 23 January by LeePhilpottsBaldSpot

Popular Post Claudio Fannieri Posted 24 January Popular Post Posted 24 January Tony Mowbray as interim until the end of the season and then step into the technical director role in the summer and look to appoint someone like Skubala or Wellens 6
kingfox Posted 24 January Posted 24 January The annoying thing is, some intriguing managers have become available recently. But one stain remains on the availability list, and that’s who we’ll probably appoint… 3
l444ry Posted 24 January Posted 24 January Can forget elite managers for now. Mark Robins or even give Robbie Savage a crack.
Winstonthedog Posted 24 January Posted 24 January (edited) In all honesty what manager with more than 2 brain cells would want to join this sh1t show of a club .... poor squad with players you can't give away, poor owner, poor DOF, poor board ..... no very attractive is it Edited 24 January by Winstonthedog Spelling 4
beepee1984 Posted 24 January Posted 24 January Who would take this job? We are going to have to pay over the odds to get a poor manager
Winstonthedog Posted 24 January Posted 24 January Can't see us paying compensation.... so it's basically a choice of what's left in the deadwood section 1
