My dad still attends so have bought him vouchers since though. Quite happy to stop that if the club puts itself into an even bigger hole by appointing even more lazy shite like that Get your dad on the King Power Out train. We need as many people boycotting as possible.
Mista_cle31 Posted 8 February Posted 8 February I genuinely think that they'll wait until the summer, before they poach Lincoln City for Michael Skubala. That's my gut instinct. We'll probably get a temporary manager until the end of season, someone like Tony Mowbray or Gary Rowett. 1

Likely we go down and then up…..Would he drop from the championship to L1 to mange us?

orangecity23 Posted 8 February Posted 8 February The crazy thing is those 2 games were back to back. We let in 11 goals in 1 week, and the hierarchy still didn't twig that they needed to do anything about it. 1

I completely agree Rodgers should’ve been sacked far earlier but these guys being prepared for it at any time ? Nah. Once they sacked Rodgers, the candidates were Benitez, Marsch and Smith. They sacked Cooper last year and hired Ruud with no back room staff at all. They’ve stumbled across Enzo. Hired Cifeuntes who had achieved zilch up to the date he joined us. we were only heading one way because neither Rudkin or Aiyawatt want to work hard. 3

Do you correct the downfall of a club with a brilliant infrastructure or you're paid handsomely to be sacked Like five of the last six managers have failed to do. Maresca's the only one who enhanced his reputation under Aiyawatt and Rudkin, and that's because he got out relatively early.

There’s no way Gary Rowett will come here until the end of the season when Blackburn are going to offer him a full time roll. said if since MC left, Rowett is what we need. Need to go all out for him. He’s nothing spectacular but he is good at sorting broken teams out.
Grebfromgrebland Posted 8 February Posted 8 February I'd take Steve Cooper back. We're still paying him too. 1 1 1

grth2004 Posted 8 February Posted 8 February (edited) 1 hour ago, Tommy Fresh said: He's done fairly well at keeping teams in the league that appeared to be in trouble. He also did pretty well at Millwall taking a side that had finished 21st the year before him, he then never finished outside the top half and had them very close to the playoffs twice. I don't want him on a long term deal but as an interim I think he'd be fine, I'd rather that then them rush a long term appointment and someone better becomes available in the summer. Fair enough but he has not had success just not done bad and most teams have parted with him after 12 months. He has connections to the club so that maybe a positive. I’m not a fan of Rowett coming at all but I hope it works if that’s the way it goes Edited 8 February by grth2004

My main concern would be him doing okay in the interim and then them giving him a 3 year deal 1

I completely agree with everything you say, but I think the speed of the fall in 2022/23 has absolutely screwed the club. I'd go as far as saying it's the single most damaging Premier League campaign a team has ever had. Even with what those two had in place, you simply have a better chance of rolling a six if you're a solid Premier League club. You can get people fall into your hands like we did with Maresca - when you're appealing. We now have the combination of being a genuinely risky, not attractive job (and I say this as somebody who has spent years saying it was attractive) and already being rubbish, and in a crap position. I used to wonder if their whole "our search for the new manager will now begin" thing on statements was just political talk, but now I really do think they actually mean it. They have absolutely nothing about them whatsoever. They're weak. They're flaccid. They have everything dictated to them, take zero initiative, zero responsibility. The club is like a primary school child thrown into the workforce. 8
