Was thinking the exact same thing ! 

[ALC Fox]

Hope he quickly identifies the players who will actually buy in to what he's selling. That seems to be almost the entire battle with the senior members of this squad.

[Angus Scott]

Don't judge him on the first couple of games. It's going to take time for him to sort out what team he wants & he'll be very reliant on King initially

That in itself doesn't bode well for his future here. That's probably already irked the clueless duo.

He said a bit more than that on a recent podcast, BTG were talking about it recently. 

 

Mismanagement was the word used.

[FoxesTalker]

Not overly impressed by his first interview, too generic for my liking and disappointingly no mention of the club’s history. However, he’s a former player and deserves our full backing. Not convinced at this point that any manager can halt the decline though.

That was my favourite bit! Maybe he can suggest it's time to get rid of the pre match video too.

Indeed. This will be tested however, if his 1st starting eleven have Thomas at the back and Ayew up front.

[foxile5]

He's been confirmed by the club right? 

 

[ozvaldo]

Just watch him give Luke Thomas the armband, Ayew the vice captaincy and stick Okoli on corners. 
 

Game’s gone. 

[One Arm Babba]

This smacks of Dean Smith, too little too late 😔

[DezFox]

My main worry is the fact the Rowett, from what I have read, rely heavily on being defensively solid and then being very clinical in chances we create. This goes against every single narrative of Leicester in the last 2 years and the same players are still here. You can only work with what you have. I will back him, but between me and foxtalk, we are down.

Happy with this to be fair, has a lot experience in this league. Hoping he can keep us up but a lot is down to the players actually wanting it. 

Indeed !

He focused on the job that needs to be done, and he seemed very clear minded about that. Why would you want him to witter on about our history?

 

As has already been pointed out, Rowett has a strong track record of getting wins on the board quickly when he starts a new job. Personally I'm glad he's 100% focused on that rather than trying to butter up the fans by talking about the club's history.

So he should, he gets 4 goals per year more than daka, 

Daka fans will whinge, yeh but daka runs about a  bit more , I ask what's more important goals or   poncing about?

 

 

[LichesterRedSoxSoccerBall]

He's English and an ex lcfc lad. Sounds a bit like Dyche. We don't need fancy at this point we need to make these soft cvnts horrible little bstards

Rowett favours work rate, pressing, speed and quick transitions. Ayew will not be a starter under him.

[Tuna]

Talks well, says all the right things. Wish him well, have a good feeling he can turn this round for us.

[Spudulike]

He's inherited some quality Championship players but a club with a culture issue. I think it's alway's been the other way around with the jobs that he's previously had. Not sure how this will go.

I see relegation as a certainty as his or any appointment is too late now.

Its really a question of if he or whoever can get promotion from Div 1

I hope to God I’m wrong but I can’t see an escape route

So to our fans his priority  will  be wrong

[Joe90]

Wish him the best of luck, and he is gonna need it managing probably the most disliked dumb group of players ever at Lcfc

We are shit but so are lots of other clubs.

 

All to play for but I think we'll get over the line with some of the ugliest football ever seen.
