It’s very concerning how some on here think he is the answer, he is well and truly not! 

True but the club generally do the opposite of what the fans want. In which case I really hope we hire Russell Martin

No purely because I don’t want to end up hating him.

Same reason I never want any of the 2016 team back as coach or manager

Yes !
What a brilliant idea 

More decline please 

 

[bovril]

Is Kingy a happy-clapper KPFC flask of coffee kind of player? Just because my Mum (who is very much pro-flask, pro-M&S wrap) just text me with "what would we do without Andy King" and now I'm worried that supporting him will damage my street cred.  

[Analysethis]

We need a new team, coaches as well as a manager. Kingy isnt the right person at the right time iMO.

How did he do in pre season ? I’m sure he took charge of some of match, before MC came in.

I think we lost them all bar maybe 1.

They will do it without a doubt in my opinion.

 

- It's the lazy option

- It's the cheap option

- They will see what Carrick's doing at United and think this automatically means it'll work here

[Vindaloo FOX]

No doubt let's back our boy, no better man that knows the club and fan base,

 

Good luck Kingy !!

Give it to him for the blance of the season, then take a look once the drainage crew enter the swamp and begin the clean-up. There needs to be a massive re-build from Rudkin down to Filbert. 

 

Pointkless doing anything now on the assumption we are not in danger of going down.

[gurru991]

It really doesn't matter who the interim manager is. The club is rotten to the core with the team needing a total ground up rebuild. Kingy can see us through to the summer until we possibly get a DOF who can manage the rebuild.

If Rudkin is still running the show in the Summer then who cares.

 

[iancognito]

I'd accept it because its Kingy but still scarred by the Stowell/Sadler thing. Still have the idea that had Top not been here on Saturday, Marti would still be in charge. There's been no planning or strategy with anything else at the club so why would this be different. At this stage they have no better idea on a new boss than we do.

This is spot on we have become an easy ride club too many average people in position too long. I would love King to be successful but I don’t see him as the hard leader we need. I think there will be a bounce as the players see one of their ‘clique’ in charge but cannot see it being sustained. Love to be proved wrong.

[murphy]

King for the remainder of the season would create a buffer for KP powers.  They know that many would struggle to turn on him. 

 

It likely won't help us get results but it will protect Top and Rudders in the short term. 

[Tommy Fresh]

Love King, him and Lloyd Dyer are probably two of my favourite ever players, and apart from seeming like really nice blokes, you instantly link them to finally getting back a decent club to support under Pearson. 

 

Who knows whether he'd be good enough or not, or even if he'd want the job full time, I don't want him to have it solely because it wouldn't eventually turn bad and end up with him being sacked like all managers.

 

Although I don't buy in to the "he's worked under the last two shit managers, so he's crap" ignoring that he'd of likely been working under the instruction of both of those.

After hearing Stowell’s(?) match analysis on Radio Leicester, I was surprised he was so on the ball after such a dismal run as manager. Made me think about how deep the rot at the club is and that there’s no guarantee any manager will turn things around.

Our aim this season should be to stay up and that’s it. Talk of finishing high up in the table has made us look embarrassing in past seasons when it “didn’t work out”. The only other possible aim IMHO is to have a decent amount of the academy players on track to be squad/first team players. No money for players or a managerial replacement.

[AjcW]

No issues at all BUT we have to do what other clubs do (  ) and give him the tools to succeed.

 

He needs a VERY experienced coach alongside him (Chris Powell type? He's at Luton sadly)

 

We also currently need a first team coach, a goalkeeping coach and some sort of defensive specialist.

 

If they're willing to do all that, and he can be the public face that brings everyone together. Then yes

Assuming the rest of the coaches bar Andy King have gone he will need assistance?

[teblin]

Assuming they go down the path of giving it King until the end of the season, i have been trying to think of team mates or coaches he has worked with that are currently coaching(or recently coached), that might are more senior to him that have more experience.

 

As a manager, coach you want to work with people that share your vision, but also challenge you too which you can imagine, Shakey and Walsh did with Peearson.

 

Chris Powell Jumps out at me, but he's a Luton, we are a bigger club than them but he's not been there long. 

 

Can anyone think of anyone else? Not Perason, but people who might be ahead of him in a coaching journey, but aren't head coaches/managers.

Might aswell throw Vards in there as "Chat shit get banged" coach

[Foxin_Mad]

Be interesting to see. King is a winner. 

 

There was a photo last week of training where he appeared to be giving Marti a WTF look! 

 

The club needs to instil a winning mentality. For too long the approach has been style above winning, when actually winning is all that matters, or at the very least giving your all. If this pathetic bunch of spineless gutless nobodies who have won nothing in their lives and never will don't sit and listen to a Premier League Champion then they have no hope and need sending to play with the Under 18s. 

 

He really could do with some experienced championship coaches in there, or to work alongside an older head initially. 

[skolfoxes]

They'll be desperate to give him the job permanently or at least until the end of the season.

 

1. He's already on the staff so almost definitely the cheapest option.

2. From a PR perspective, they know that fans will be reluctant, understandably, to get on his back.

 

Would be interesting to see who the KP loyalists would back should Kingy get the job until the end of the season and it continues to go down the path it currently is. Andy King, a bona fide club legend, who represents everything good about our rise from L1, or Top and Rudkin, who represent everything that's caused our downfall.
