League One - Who manages us?

[jonny_wright]

I hate this ownership, so out of touch with the fanbase

 

Worst possible appointment

How to say 'we haven't got a ****ing clue' without saying it

Going to mean the club will try and cling on to the likes of Vestergaard and Winks won’t it

According to the article Vestergaard's off (doesn't say who to).

 

Ben Nelson as well.

 

Agree with you on 'Winksy' though. Will be central to this mess no doubt.

Someone very very reliable told me there's nothing in Martin. 

Whoops.

[Pliskin]

To be fair, I’d actually take Martin at this point in our current predicament, he’s probably a coupe at league 1 level. He has a definite style of play, no matter how boring it is, but at least it’s an identity, which we will desperately need, but he will need the tools to do it, there’s no point appointing him to set up a certain way and then not give him the necessary tools to build the team. 
 

But my biggest concern, is what the **** are we paying him?

“Just think those fans already judging this appointment are the reason we’ve lost our opening game. It’s really affecting the players and manager. Been going 65 years” 

[Cropwellfox]

One microscopic bright spot is that league one players aren’t as clinical as higher up so won’t take as many of the gifts this woeful style of play will serve up to our opponents.

The ‘coupe’ in question.

[County Fox]

Oh my days, the guy is going to have a sizeable percentage of the fanbase on his back from the off. Don’t get me wrong, I will give the guy a chance and do my best to back him but many others won’t.

 

KP could have made things a lot easier for themselves by appointing nearly anyone but him. I think Rowett would have been a popular choice, in comparison!!

 

Im going to kid myself and say that he is only joining us because the board have promised to back him in the transfer market. Also that teams will stick 10 men behind the ball against us and that this style of all play may work (if I tell myself enough, I may start to believe it!!!) 😝😂

 

KP know how this appointment would go down amongst a fractured fanbase, so they are either very, very brave or very silly (I’m not going to comment on which I think it is). 

[jayfox26]

Folding the club seems like the best option right now. Everything is utterly miserable and appointing that total bell end will make it even worse. I've felt every emotion supporting LCFC over the last 30 years from pure joy to despair, delight to disappointment but never have i actually hated this club until now. I hate everything about it. The owner, the board, the last few managers, the players, our fans that are KP/Top lovers, the atmosphere, the culture. There is not one single thing to enjoy or feel proud of about this club right now. Disgusting!

That identity is an infinitely shitter version of what Enzo did. He’s a ****ing fraud.

Agreed.

Recruitment must be on point.

People calling this a coup is nauseating and further indication of what we're willing to accept as a fanbase. The club are laughing at us

season tickets sold out, we could appoint rusty lee and the robots would be happy.

Lets have the @Phil Mitchell take

[stu]

The only thing I’m clinging to is this has to work for Martin and much as it does for the club.

 

If his football doesn’t work in league 1, then he is literally finished as a football manager.

 

His career is literally on the line, just as much as the existence of Leicester City Football club.

 

So let’s hope he has adapted his philosophy some what, so he does succeed.

As much as some people want to see us in administration, it will be the worst possible outcome for the city of Leicester as much as the club.

 

People’s livelihood’s are genuinely on the line here.

He'll go abroad if he fails with us, but in England, not sure where he'd go from here. Lets hope he suceeds!

I get what you're saying but that won't suddenly give him the ability to be a good manager
