Ahh, so we're planning for the future. Got it

He was always an absolute baller, a right old charisma explosion and he was a big part of our joyful times a decade ago.

 

His ability to speak well, laugh and joke in a second language, and now to succceed in a job using a second language, as well as what appears to be a well honed business acumen, suggests he has plenty in the attic and oodles of emotional intelligence.

 

He'll do well in whatever he chooses to do.

 

[filbertway]

That seemed like an impossible job when he took over. Fair play. If hes attainable id go for it.the guys smashed his apprenticeship

[teblin]

Wouldn’t even be thinking about him if he wasn’t associated with us. 
 

that said, doesn’t mean he wouldn’t be good, but a massive risk. 
 

Would need an experienced head with him.

[LCFCJohn]

Loved him as a player for us. 
 

But no as manager. Looking at how the title winners talk about KP, I just don’t want any of them coming back in to manager us under this ownership. They are too close, had all the nice gifts and stuff and won’t see anything wrong with how the club is being managed. See the likes of Albrighton, Morgan and Huth who we know have standards from their playing days but won’t call it how it is. 

[South Shire Fox]

Rather Wellens if we are going down the ex player route. Hes done well at a number of clubs hes managed. Has a bit of the Pearson era of doing things in him as well

Totally agree. He would do well to stay clear of the circus we've become. 

We would ruin him. 

[Old Fox]

He’s very smart and will if he wants to be a top manager - I would rather take someone who sets high standards, has respect as a winner and will know the club.

 

I don’t think Richie Wellens will have the career that Fuchs will and even though Fuchs needs more experience where better than rebuilding our club in league 1 - he has done a truly remarkable job with no resources at Newport and given access to even this shit show will have the where with all to start setting standards.

 

i for one would get behind Fuchs and he would be the most exciting appointment for manager in the past 3 years !!

[Hales]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuucccchhhhhsssssss

 

Get him in!

 

Get Wes, Kasper, Albrighton in to set standards, culture, respect etc....

 

Many of them are willing to help but are being ignored

 

TOP OUT

RUDKIN OUT

[sdb]

He loves the club, has masses of personality, is clearly driven to succeed in management and passionate about the game. It's a small sample size but early signs are highly impressive and given the manager will have to work with youth, who better than one of our own greats? 

 

The thought of Fuchs as manager actually excites me, and that's more than can be said for the usual shite we bring in. 

 

Go for it, I say. Better than some failing journeyman or agency connection.

What had Pearson done previously…

A lot more than Fuchs…….

[Reg Vardy]

Played 31 won 9 drawn 5 Lost 17……a managerial record we are all familiar with….love the bloke but Nah……..

[foxy tiler]

Its a no from me....I wouldn't want it to ruin his standing within our history when it goes wrong at some point.

Given how shit they looked before that's a pretty decent record.  Prior to his appointment they'd have been on for around 33 points.  They've finished on 43.

I'm not advocating for his appointment but using his record at a team that was bottom of the league, had finished the previous season in 22nd place, hadn't spent anything and had their best player in Braybrooke moved on to another club by ourselves in January, isn't all that damning.

Oddly based on his PPG if he'd been in charge all season they'd have had more points but wouldn't have finished any higher (unless they'd have taken those points off of Shrewsbury).

[winteriscoming]

Don’t want an ex player as manager. 
king and Rowett have highlighted that it doesn’t work. 
Rather have Wellens than Fuchs if we go down the ex player route. 

[Quorndon_Fox]

Would love him to manage us one day but not whilst this jokers are in charge of the club.

[21st Century Fox]

This is why we can’t have nice things.

 

I wouldn’t want any more of the 15/16 squad anywhere near the club until Top and Rudkin are out.

 

They don’t need to tarnish their memories by being part of the inept conveyer belt of managers.

Probably a bit outspoken for our overlords...

 

Although if he did get the City job, he could probably repeat this interview in a year or so.

This is EXACTLY what this club needs, but you're right, our owners prefer managers to tip toe around everything and allow the players to do whatever the hell they want. 

Very refreshing to see Richie hitting back here. 

[5waller5]

I’m absolutely behind RW now I’ve heard this - He is exactly what we need right now - someone that holds the entire club to a set of standards.

 

It is exactly the reason he won’t be anywhere near our shortlist

[RoboFox]

One of the best things I’ve ever witnessed first hand was him launching the ball into Alexis Sanchez’s dickhead face. 
 

Gerrimin.

[KFS]

As much as we all want a straight shooter, he’d be that honest here and it would fail. You need someone who’s got it all at a club like Leicester. Knows when to get irate and also knows when the arm goes around the shoulder. It’s why Enzo was so effective.

 

Problem is we’re now looking for that in ****ing league 1.

Brendon Rodgers did that after the fa cup loss at forest, and kept doing it until the day he was sacked

Yeah it can definitely backfire if you're not careful. Richie has waited until the end of season to unload on them though as he now has a full summer to get the dead wood out, something Rodgers needs to learn from. 

Will be following the transfers of Leyton Orient over summer for sure to see who he brings in and forces out!
