Yeah and Martin failed at Rangers, and Gerrard is bad! 

Yeah but there's still some postcodes Martin hasn't failed in yet and LE is one of them.

I'm not sure there's a replacement that can succeed here currently. Not in the manner that we've been used to for the majority of this club's existence: challenging for promotion and re-establishing ourselves as a good top-flight team.

 

Success is negotiating another challenging period of financial instability. Much is speculated about King Power's financial woes since COVID, but I'm not entirely sure that they couldn't put us on an even keel if they really wanted to. The bigger problem is working within the constraints of the differing rules that the EFL and PL have imposed and continue to impose on us while rectifying the situation brought about by the club potentially flouting those rules while chasing Champions League football.

 

Within these restrictions, the academy is reaping the benefit of moving to Seagrave, and now becomes a very realistic resource of regularly producing quality talent that can form the spine of our first-team while also being used to help us get on and even keel through the sale of some of that talent.

 

But all of this is likely to result in a tumultuous period for the first team as we become a mediocre or poor Championship team, perhaps even a League One team, while our young players learn their trade on the job and we're unable to recruit quality experience at this level to push back up towards the top of the second tier.

 

These undulating fortunes will see several managerial casualties, which, if managed incorrectly by the board, could see plenty of players brought in who don't fit subsequent managers' styles of play and we could end up repeating our mistakes of overspending on talent we don't want or need.

 

So, success now, I think, is treading water while the finances are corrected. If that can be done under King Power, then I'll be back on board with them. But right now that doesn't appear to be the case. We need a manager who is willing to accept a longer stint in the division while we correct the club behind the scenes and who can keep us in the league and at a push go for the playoff spots. Who that guy is, I just don't know.

Far to sensible and rational post. Not sure what you are thinking posting it here  lol

Serious point.

 

If we go from Marti to (Russell) Martin (or even Martin O'Neill) then after that we have to go for Obafemi Martins. And god only knows where we go after that.

 

I feel like this hasn't been fully thought through.

It was pretty much his first big job, I'm sure he learnt a lot in his time at Rangers but yea your right.

 

Let's get a manager in that would get walked all over like the last 3

That’s one hell of a straw man.

Preki has been waiting in the wings a long time for this opportunity and to not have him mentioned thus far is both scandalous and disrespectful.

I find it hard to think of anyone that would realistically want to come here… 

On one hand, I completely agree with you. However I guess those managers out of work would rather be paid than not. Could lead to a better job.

 

That said, can't see it being anyone decent.

Anyone suggesting Russell Martin is a nonce.

You can't say that just because Gary Glitter has suggested him.

I think the first priority must be a British manager. I'm sick of continental managers, bringing their methods, slow sideways and backwards passes with little end product. 

But what decent manager will come with out management

With the talk today of us looking at getting in an experience manager - some names to ponder

 

Roy Hodgson ( Ayew connection put me off) but I think he would ideal in organising the team

Ralf Hasstlhoff

Gerrard

Mowbray 

Robin

the former wba manager who went to Spain

Lee Carsley for me, great with youth and plays attractive attacking football. 

Would take him as well, doubt he'd come though at this moment in time with the state we are in.

Same as above, you aware of the great job he did at Millwall, keeping Oxford up and solid jobs at Birmingham and Derby?
