LVFox Posted 9 February Posted 9 February 3 minutes ago, GlenParvaFox said: No, thankfully. I work with a number of people that know Skubala or went school with him and they're suggesting it's happening. Having said that, they've fed me some bulls**t over the last few seasons. Appreciate the clarity - I hope they are right!

Les-TA-Jon Posted 9 February Posted 9 February 4 minutes ago, Sol thewall Bamba said: For a team that gets plenty of practice, we are ****ing shit at appointing managers. It's like every time we have to find a manager everyone is doing it for the first time. But I guess that is just life under King Power in general. It's not so much that we operate like it's our first time - it's that we decide to sack the current manager in isolation about who the replacement is. I'd rather have had Cifuentes in charge that King the last 2 games. Surely the board meeting that decided Marti was gone had to also discuss 'OK but who are we going to get in and how close are we to appointing them?'. We seem to only start the process of identifying, let alone appointing, a replacement after we've sacked the previous guy. Is there some sort of employment law that prevents us from sounding out replacements before we sack the current manager? I've no idea how to build the dataset for comparisons, but I wonder how long most other clubs take to appoint replacements? Surely they don't take 2+ weeks like we do? 1

I wrote something similar earlier - I'd be kind of ok with the time frame if after 2 weeks a new manager was a credible replacement, but we spend weeks looking for the new guy only to appoint someone inferior.

ian__marshall Posted 9 February Posted 9 February Really hope it's not Skubala. The position we find ourselves in is no position for taking a gamble on an unproven manager who's had half a decent season managing 1st team football in the league below. That said, it likely will be him simply because Rudkin will love the fact he was a former P.E. teacher. 2

BrilliantFox Posted 9 February Posted 9 February Skubala is ethnically Polish. So its him then. I thought "ambitious" would have meant Ange Postecoglu.
LCFCCKEANO Posted 9 February Posted 9 February From reading up on Skubala it sounds like what we have all been asking for- fluid, will change shape even in a game itself and plays aggressive pressing football. Not fair at all to judge him for being a former teacher, everyone needs to start somewhere. Sarri was a banker and an amateur footballer
Deeg67 Posted 9 February Posted 9 February Most of the speculation on twitter saying it's Martin, but I don't think it's insider knowledge.
BrilliantFox Posted 9 February Posted 9 February The scenes at Lutterworth College when he gets announced 1
teblin Posted 9 February Posted 9 February Ruud was a top class striker, Gerrard a top Midfielder. Neither have been great managers. So certainly wont judge Skubala based on his past life. He's done pretty well with lincoln and work pretty high profile roles with the FA I believe. 1

Not saying it does, just don't think giving a job of this magnitude given where we sit in the table to someone who has only had 33 games behind them, nearly all of which are at a lower level, would not be a wise idea. We need someone who has experience in these types of situations if we hope to survive. The pressure on whoever comes in will be massive. Edited 9 February by ian__marshall 2

No, nothing could be that bad, he was an utter useless fraud. Every game he was in charge we were getting worse. At least the last 2 games the players seem to have been running a bit more. Cifuentes was out of his depth and should have never been given the role. 1
