We weren't battered today. We were the better team on every attacking metric. But we absolutely shouldn't be keeping Rowett on.

Off ya trot ya w**ker

[Dmitry]

Probably made at least half a million off Top’s largesse; Shit manager, one of the worst I’ve ever seen, worse than Cooper and Cofuentes.

Anyone in the world could’ve done better than this specimen.

Watch Rudkin give him a 5 year contract.

[Rubbersoul]

He’s shown himself to be a bit of a spineless guy. Honestly didn’t expect that from him. 
 

Unless the conspiracy theory that he doesn’t pick the teams is true 

[Wizerud]

I would keep Rowett. Arguably, considering he's managed Championship clubs pretty much his whole career, he's above our level now  I think he'd get another shot with a Championship team next year if, as seems likely, he goes.

 

I understand the record hasn't been good enough. What is it, W2 D8 L4 but even though we didn't win enough games, we were harder to beat. And this is with a bunch of players who don't care about the club, bar a few.

 

And that's not even mentioning that the managers we've had this year are distinctly third in the who's to blame stakes. The board and the players easily take top two in that regard.

 

I'd keep him, on a fairly short leash, and see if he can help us bring in players who will give a shit next year. We're in League One - we need to be realistic. Who else will come to us?

[Guesty]

Playing the same tactics every game is bad enough. But it's what he says and his press conferences that surprise me. They make me lose all faith in him. He just says clichés.

 

Two recent ones off the top of my head.

 

Today he mentioned Hamza's best position is in midfield and he brings passion, tenacity there. If that's the case why hasn't Rowett been playing him there more. Instead he plays Skipp and Winks (sometimes together) who are just pass completion merchants who offer very little defensive protection to one of the worst defences in the league.

 

The other day when asked about picking youth team players. He said he wasn't going to just hand out first team starts - and players had to earn it. On the face of it that sounds good. But he keeps playing the same underperforming players and not winning. It makes no sense.

 

He just seems totally out of his depth.

Then that alone shows how spinless he is for agreeing to that concession.

 

'I'm the manager and I pick and train the team as I see fit, its what you pay me for'

Should.be his only words with regards to that conversation with the LCFC Board.

 

Imagine if Top/Rudkin tried to set that stipulation with Pearson.  They would be receiving a firm headbutt and a swift crisp white trainer up their ar$e and told no fvcking way that was happening.  As any manager should really.

Gary Rowett said he could be “exactly what the club needs” as he made his biggest appeal yet for the Leicester City manager’s job.

Rowett rounded off his 14-game contract at City on Saturday, earning his second win, a 1-0 success at Blackburn.

Now City have to decide who they want to lead them for what will be just their second-ever season in League One.

And while Rowett has overseen the club’s fall into the third tier, he set his stall to remain in the role, saying he could be the man for what is a “fantastic opportunity” at the King Power Stadium. He said brave decisions need to be made as the rebuild gets under way.

“I see a fantastic opportunity here,” Rowett said. “There’s going to be some big decisions. It’s going to need someone who is brave enough to make those decisions.

“This team needs to look very different, the culture needs to look very different. But it’s a great opportunity so of course I would like that opportunity.

“But what’s more important is the club getting it right, because it’s a fabulous football club.

 

“I’ve enjoyed the 14 games. It’s been tinged with frustration and disappointment that we’ve played well in a lot of those games and lost four of them. We shouldn’t have lost that. We should have won a lot more. But it’s easy to say that.

“It’s important the club get it right, whatever decision that is. But of course I’d like this opportunity to rebuild this. I think I could be exactly what the club needs.”

Rowett took 14 points from his 14 games in charge, and believes it could have been more had City had a killer instinct in both boxes.

They showed more of that on Saturday at Ewood Park, helped by another excellent performance from Harry Souttar at the back on the Australian international’s second appearance of the season.

Rowett said: “If you look at the games, we’ve conceded silly goals. They were almost comical at times. You can’t win games of football with that.

 

“We created the second most chances over the last 14 games but if you can’t take those chances, you’re not going to win games of football. That’s been the biggest frustration.

“The first half was a bit of us in the 14 games. We looked nice, we looked good, we were comfortable on the ball, we build well and get into good areas, but in both boxes we’ve lacked that killer instinct that someone like Harry Souttar has.

“Even our corners he’s getting his head on everything, so you can see the difference he potentially would have made.

“But there’s no point crying over it now. It’s nice that he’s back. He’s had a long period out of the game so it’s nice that he can play the last two games. Now he’s got a big summer with Australia. It’s really nice for him, he deserves it.”

Fukk him off. He chats shit, he should get banged.

 

He's incompetent even at league one level

[sdb]

He made us harder to beat, but couldn't buy a win. With the players available, it was ultimately yet another poor managerial appointment. 

 

He's ultimately got us relegated, so of course he shouldn't stay. It's just a shame that we'll hire someone worse, but at least it's obvious enough that Rowett isn't the one.

So not you then, Gary, since your decisions have been anything but brave in your time here… “experience” got us relegated, you weren’t brave enough to try anything other than the old guard that let us down repeatedly.

Really Gazza..brave

 

 

There’s going to be some big decisions. It’s going to need someone who is brave enough to make those decisions.

“This team needs to look very different, the culture needs to look very different.

 

So basically polar opposite to what you had the opportunity in your 14 games to be, to act like and to implement, but failed hideously in doing so.

Your actions, decisions, man management, and implementation of the ' correct culture needed for success' were, well basically fvcking abysmal mate, falling way way short. 

So what makes you think you will suddenly develope that you claim is needed overnight......clueless tw@t

 

 

[Chelmofox]

Its been a miserable few years at our club. I even look back at the Enzo season with a little sadness as he left at the end of it and we couldn't work out what to do.

 

But this chap is the biggest waste of space to sit in that dug out and should be nowhere near us next season. What an opportunity he had, and i think he could have semented a little kudos for himself. Drab football, a draw-oholic who sidelined the kids and continued to play the dross the fans hated. Good riddance. 

[HankMarvin]

Keeping him would be a sure fire way to make any talented youngster want to leave 

couldn’t get in the side when they were struggling to win.

Two things:

 

Firstly: If he was in place in December or straight after Marti was sacked, we would’ve stayed up.

 

Secondly: He shouldn’t be anywhere near the club come June.

Little story so forgive me if I have mentioned it before.

 

Work with a chap that came though the youth at Leicester and played for us a couple of times in about 1988.  
 

He was coach with the youngsters at City years ago - with players like Ndukwu etc - and on one occasion he’d briefed the players for a youth game regarding who was involved etc; then suddenly from nowhere; Rudkin tells him that there are two Thai lads that HAVE to play.

 

Make of that what you will.
