Kasper Schmeichel Retires

[Soar Fox]

Would love to know what went on regarding the 149 consecutive games. Was it a Brendan Rodgers decision or had it come above him and he was told to bench him.

Whenever Schmeichel has spoken about Rodgers since he's always spoke highly of him. Then he joined him at Celtic. So a lot of the stuff about him being annoyed at him was clearly not true. 

 

It was bizarre though. Very typical of Brendan too. Always liked making decisions that never really made sense but gave him all the attention.

Sometimes players can become the opposite when they become managers, of all our players in the last 10 years Kasper is the one I can see going into management.

Yeah good point 

 

Him and Fuchs..

[Clever Fox]

He surely has enough experience and seen enough to give him the managers job. He wouldn't take any messing from anyone.

 

I think he'd make a top manager as he exudes buckets of confidence.

 

We're starting from Rckbottom and he's starting a new Journey. We can both achieve greatness again.

When my son went to his first ever game with me, he assumed Schmeichel’s name was actually “Sir Michael”.

And joint top goalscorer among Leicester goalies, whatever the record books say.

For all the great memories and 400+ games and promotion as champions and two major trophies for some reason I'll only ever remember him for 3 things

 

1) Having a gob like a sailor away at Braga

2) Seeing Daniel Amartey freeze with the ball at his feet, taking the ball off him and booting it up field

3) Everton at home in 2022 when he was so keen to get the ball forward, he rushed out, won a throw-in and then took it.

 

We really lost something when he left, no doubt.

I don't mean to pick on you specifically but I can't believe I keep reading this stuff as if it's that simple. Give X role to: King/Wes/Fuchs,/Kasper/Albrighton/Vards (as appropriate), that will solve our problems!

 

Good player does not translate to good manager, no matter who you are. It's far more than that. There are plentiful great players who have tried management and not succeeded. Kasper is doing his badges but has no experience coaching as far as I can tell. I think you are right in that his attributes will probably lend themselves well to it, but throwing him into this situation with no experience of management? I'll pass, thanks.

 

One of our problems has been being too sentimental, giving out overly long contracts to people with any sort of connection to the club and jobs for the boys regardless of merit. Giving a coaching role to a young, up and coming coach with some experience who is doing well makes sense, but this clamouring for every title winner to be involved forever is closely linked to the former as much as the latter and is fuching tiring.

Wouldnt surprise me if ends up bookies list sooner or later.

Thanks for your consideration I understand but it's all about opinions.

 

While it's true that good players don't always make good managers. It's also true that many of them do. Dalglish, O Neill, Cruyff, Pep along with others.

I do agree with you about giving jobs to people just because they played for the Club without considering if they are suitable. King comes to mind.

He had his failings as a Goal Keeper but he never let that hold him back, which is usually the sign of a winner.

 

However, I do think you're missing the key points Kasper would bring to the job.  1. he'd come cheap because he's only starting out. 2. He knows the Club inside out.

3. He'd command respect because he's been a Prem League and Cup Winner. He's also someone for young players to look up too. 4. He'd be an attraction for new signings.

5.He's on first name terms with Top and might just get through to him the harm JR has caused the Club, unlike a strang Manager coming in.

6. We know he won't be intimidated or messed with by anyone unlike Marti and others.

Yes, He'd be coming in with no personel experience of Management,  But given the Clubs and Manager's he's played for he must have learned a lot from all of them.  And that's something we could tap into. Yes theres an element of risk but no worse than any new Manager coming in.

 

Look at the Job Michael Carrick has done for Utd, A young inexperienced Coach after the failure of numerous high profile Managers at Utd. 

Why do you think that is. It can only be because he grew up at the Club witnessing what went on from one of the best in Ferguson.

Keith Andrews at Brentford another in expereinced Coach who should get Manager of the season for the job he's done for Brentford.

 

There's every chance Kasper could do the same for us while he builds his Resume and Profile as a Manager.  And let's be honest, I'ts not the most difficult task to get us out of league 1.

 

Personnaly I think he'd be to big a Charcter for JR to handle so unlikely to happen. Probably end up with another subservient loser.

 

[JimJams]

Carrick didn't grow up at Man utd.

[filbertway]

Can just picture players begging the club to sign them because Kasper is our gaffer. Clever Fox is on a mad one

 

May be satire, so if so. Fair play you got me. If not. That list of key points is bloody hilarious haha

It would be more progressive on your part if you actually gave your critique of the key points he made rather than just a throwaway dismissive comment which is meaningless.

Has he done his badges? Because if not he won’t be managing us anytime soon.

Well worth a read of his post-retirement interview:

Doesn't look like he's done his badges yet but he's open to coaching/becoming a DoF. The club has an open goal here to get him part of the set up in some way and start putting standards in place, but given how they've handled things, you expect they won't take advantage. Morgan similarly wanted a role but the club let it pass, probably to protect the untouchable Rudkin.

I said it before but I’m sure I watched an interview with him saying he’d rather go into the technical side of it all. Would be great if we can get him here coaching. 

[CL Fox]

His Dad never did his badges yet randomly applied for jobs and then said he was hard done by so expect similar here.

Love him. Club legend and speaks so well. However……. And this might not be popular…….. there is an argument to say he was always the ringleader in the various player takeovers/revolts. I don’t think he always covered himself in glory in that regard.

Where did that come from?

 

There's more evidence to suggest others were greater instigators of episodes of unrest than KS.

He probably was - 99% of the time for the right reasons

This is a fair point. And as I said I like him a lot. Just left a slight bad taste at the time for me personally. It seemed to be done slightly on the sly.
