Realistic Managerial Replacements

PNE picked up Wigan’s training ground in similar circumstances, picked it up for next to nothing, can see something similar happening here. 

We should sell bloody Seagrave now. To Derby/Forest whoever. We’ve been on a downward trajectory ever since it opened and as Pipes said “no hunger in paradise”. 

Get back to Belvoir Drive, muck and bullets, sausage and chips, share with the women and bring in the Dyche. He’d sort out our defence for a start.

I’ll say it again.

 

Seagrave wasn’t built just to support and grow Leicester, and this always gets overlooked. 

 

Vichai had a dream.

 

That dream was to grow sport within Thailand, powered by the King Power brand.

 

Seagrave wasn’t build as part of this “Fox Hunt” project, as the long term plan was they’d get not just the best talents from Thailand, however the larger Asia region and we’d be sustainable long term not though acquisitions, however through selling great youth prospects.

 

The issue I’ve always seen, is that’s it is a truly world class facility. However, does it have the right people running it to truly fulfil on the grand plan? 
 

If we sell Monga for £25m tomorrow, it will have covered it‘s running cost for “x” of years. 
 

What I also question now is, does Aiywatt, or King Power as a whole, have the same vision that Vichai had? We’ve lost some great people since our title win behind the scenes that will go unnoticed, as they are largely nameless. 
 

We don’t just need a competent first team coach / manager. If we truly want to be successful longer term, we need a complete setup of some of the best people at what they do in the world.

 

If we built over the next 25 years and were a sustainable football club that was within the top 10 of the Premier League, participating in Europe etc, we build a bigger fan base and a larger commercial holding. 

 

I think the stadium plans were maybe a step too far and we’ve looked to run before we could run. We’ve put the brakes on that. 
 

Anything can grow if you water and feed it correctly.

You can really tell the idiots on here by how often they moan about Seagrave.

I’m not sure people are moaning about it right now, more worried about losing it. Quite the opposite I would say.

Drink green tea you don't need the milk or the cow

[Mike Oxlong]

I'm interested to see what happens but don't really give two hoots. Apathy is so underrated 

[FoxFossil]

Increasingly of the view that the stadium expansion plan, was a paper exercise to boost the book asset value of the club. Land with planning permission for a hotel is worth more than than land without. Speculative developers do this all the time. Might help to make the club more saleable, which is a good thing. Problem might be the ground and site might be worth more for building than as a football club with owner in administration.

Yep can see Forest and Derby buying a training complex in a rival City…..good business sense, I’d suggest sticking it on Homes under the Hammer……

There are so few movements on managerial replacements the thread has turned into talking about training ground replacements 😂

Can we graze cows at Seagrave?

[RedSoxUK]

I've heard we're going Belvoir Drive till the end of the season.

Used to have a Goat there once.

I've heard we're going to be training at Beaumont Town and the new manager is to be announced in the clubhouse after training

We are finally starting to see youth players come though - Seagrave isn’t the problem, nor is the stadium.

 

its chronic mismanagement.  

We’ll still be an attractive investment to the next billlionnaire who fancies running a football club more so with both of the above.

 

We have 2 more years of parachute payments with most of the high earners gone by then.  The costs of running the club will be much smaller by then.

 

wrong thread for all this though so get Dyche in

[Fox85]

The reason that the training complex  has not worked is because we have always had managers that do not have an assertive authority since it has been built.

 

When you constantly have nice guys people get away with things its not to bad to start off with but it becomes a trend of acceptability.

 

Its not the training ground its the people running it.

Next years payment around 40 million but then goes down to 20% of the share, so more than halves. Also haven't we earmarked then as security for the loans? In which case, we've already hocked those future payments so they won't be available for rebuilding.

You could argue it’s finally paying off with this crop of amazing young talent? Hail Rudkin! 🤣

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

Nevermind speculation about who the new manager is, what about speculating when the chosen one will be announced? Is it now 20 days? 

[Sly]

The odds don’t mean a thing really.

 

Victor Pereira is still 7/1 and he’s joined Forest. 
 

The longer this goes on though, the longer you question if the plan is to just install King until the Summer (or longer). 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

A few have commented on this, but I do wonder how much of next seasons parachute payment has been eaten up already though that loan secured on it.
