If this is a real suggestion then I despair to what cuckoo land we are operating from He could see it as his 'football-fix' temporarily until the season-end. And, if he impresses again, the alleged idea of him replacing Guardiola at Man City in the Summer could well come into fruition for him - but that hugely relies on him, if he does come here, to make a great immediate impression again performance-wise (although he'll know it'd be a massive risk for him in accepting to return in the first place). - Have a feeling that Aiyawatt is very lost and unsure what to do. It's frustrating listening to his recent interview, with him appearing quite unprepared to what to say and lacking any strong response as to how to improve things - a sign of a weak 'leader', for sure. However Vichai, as irrelevant as it may seem to suggest now, would know what he'd do straightaway; can imagine he wouldn't take this situation anymore and would've made drastic action. One does scratch a head as to how all of this has unfolded to what has come to this, and what/who started it, given King Power's ambition to increase stadium capacity etc not that long ago.

Claudio Fannieri Posted 1 February Posted 1 February ……..drop that we are interested in bringing Enzo back, a big proportion of the fanbase get excited and then the club can say we tried but it wasn’t the right time but we have hired someone who plays the same principles, enter Russell Martin 😂 3
teblin Posted 1 February Posted 1 February No chance of this happening. It’s surely like the potter to cooper situation 2024. Only slight reason is Enzo knows someone else is getting the city gig, and he will be given complete football control here. Even then still surely no chance.

The Mirror story suggests we’ve only asked Maresca to take charge until the end of the season, which would enable him to take whatever job he wants in the summer. However, I agree this seems very unlikely. I just don’t see what’s in it for him. Edited 1 February by ClaphamFox
Spanner73 Posted 1 February Posted 1 February 7 hours ago, Corky said: He basically walked out of a Champions League job with some of the most exciting young players in Europe. I can see a Championship relegation battle with an awful squad and virtually no transfer money being really appealing. Aiyawatt is that arrogant and delusional he probably wouldn’t understand why he wouldn’t want it.

If it goes wrong, his reputation will be tarnished and bigger clubs might have a rethink. I don't think Top is arrogant, I think he's totally clueless and is panicking. He think he's doing the right thing. Contacting Enzo is a sign of disorganised mes we are in. This is why relegation is happening. Points deduction now takes us in there. And with Top stupidly wasting time on this just shows how screwed we are. Rudkin should be advising him to say we need to be realistic and try to stop him.
Katy Posted 1 February Posted 1 February The pair of clown shoes that are Rudkin & Aiyawatt seem to love embarrassing this club. The hubris to think that Maresca would come back here, it’s just a massive piss take. 3
Horibbly Wrong Posted 1 February Posted 1 February £5m for 6 months work when you're basically on the dole is nice. Big Sam made a career of it
LeePhilpottsBaldSpot Posted 1 February Posted 1 February It feels unlikely but worth asking the question. Clearly was well thought of while here and might have a bit of guilt for leaving the way he did. Should be quick enough to get an answer if he doesn't fancy it, and then we need to move onto the next candidate asap! 1
winteriscoming Posted 1 February Author Posted 1 February Why don’t they instead of wasting a reported 5m on a manager only until the end of season go and get someone in long term even if he’s at another club? I know it’s extremely unlikely but get someone with a long term plan. These clowns haven’t got a clue. No chance Enzo will come back here.
Gravel Posted 1 February Posted 1 February Sir Alex Ferguson must be bored and desperate too, right? Get on the phone Top!
Popular Post ClaphamFox Posted 1 February Popular Post Posted 1 February I enjoyed Enzo’s time with us fan and was sorry when he left, but I’m not convinced his high risk/high reward approach would solve our problems right now. It needs a lot of coaching to play his way, and we don’t have the luxury of time for him to get it right. 5

Besides, I'm sure he'd rather tow the company line than put his cushy, pension top up job at risk.
Ricey Posted 1 February Posted 1 February It’s ludicrous to even try and get him, but it’s scary to hear that it will be a lucrative deal. The club just doesn’t learn. I’m not convinced it would work anyway. His style of play is not conducive to a scrap or battle, which was clear in the second half of the season two years ago. Cifuentes’ style was, on paper, very similar. It was just executed terribly. Let’s not forget that most of us hated his style of play last time around, even when we were winning most weeks. We need someone who can tighten us up and get us battling. I think Maresca would create a reaction, but it’s not nailed on that would be enough.

The bit that makes me smile most is the fact the club still believe they can make a play off charge, they are either deluded or the points deduction isn’t coming until next season
jv1 Posted 1 February Posted 1 February (edited) Surely they are just pulling our pants down now - after 2 hours of watching the pits of the pits yesterday this has made me actually laugh out loud - the audacity to think that could be possible scares me more than that interview of tops last week - we are absolutely 💯 going down Edited 1 February by jv1

We look nothing short of the 2nd worst team in the division at the moment. History repeating itself, blindly sleepwalking over the abyss. Expect one of the ****ers to come out with a Maddison like tweet after we get stuffed next weekend at Brum. 1

winteriscoming Posted 1 February Author Posted 1 February Not that I want him but wouldn’t surprise me if it’s Gerrard. Another manager with Wasserman as his agent and Aribo was with him at Rangers. 1
Happy Fox Posted 1 February Posted 1 February I wouldn’t be surprised if the club leaked this to show it’s still ambitious to any incoming manager
