Well not my choice, but...

 

1. In order to attract someone like RM we must have an excellent budget for L1. Otherwise he wouldn't come here, & would rather take his chances once the season starts & the firings begin in the higher leagues.

2. The players that we bring in at this level should be receptive to his methods. Unlike the dross of recent years who thought they were too big time for our managers of recent past.

3. Has a good record with youth. Which will be vital for us in the coming years - regardless of the leagues we are in.

4. After the shuttle crash at Rangers, will be desperate to succeed.

5. Only 40. A baby in managerial terms. He still has his career ahead of him & plenty of scope for personal development. Let's hope he starts to realise his potential with us.

6. Nice hair & beard (as a beard guy - v important).

7. Missus.

1 we had a premiership budget for the championship last season .... look how that ended

2 Can we be certain any new manager will have a full say in player purchasing.... I think not

3 Good record with youth .... enlighten me 

4 Rangers far to big for him .... well out of his depth 

5 Personal development under Top and Rudkin.... do me a favour

6 Says more about you than him  😂 

7  The only positive

Hmm. We didn’t. We were paying inflated wages for bad performers. We made no signings, apart from Lascelles on a 6 month free. A PL budget would have been brining in some top talent. 
 

Squad will be decimated this time around, so we have to be bringing people in and will have to embrace the academy. RM wouldn’t be considering it if he didn’t get some assurances we will be dabbling some how.

1. Has a clear style and methodology 

2. Long unbeaten run at Southampton ending with a promotion in a season with 4 strong teams

3. Style proven to work in league 1 with Brum

4. It's been on the cards for us for a while, might as well get it out of the way

Wages wise the budget says  we were paying for premiership players ... no doubt about it .... if the job was that attractive he would snap their hands off .... obviously if has to consider it ..... there must be some doubt about the so called assurances

I mean genuinely there’s only one positive isn’t there. “We haven’t appointment Brendan Rodgers”. 

Or Steve Cooper, that's another bonus!!!

Last time I will post on this issue...

 

1. I was talking in terms of purchasing. We didn't have a budget last season. We haven't paid a proper transfer fee since Jan 25. Like I said, RM wouldn't come if we didn't have one. He will have either better options or will wait for a better option to arrive.

2. No. Thats not how modern football works. Manager requests the profile of player, scouts/analysts find said players. Manager/DoF makes their decisions & DoF gets the deals done. Although LCFC are said to be old school in this regard & give managers some autonomy. One may say to our detriment.

3. Tyler Dibling. Gifted but temperamental. RM is the only manager to get a tune out of him so far. David Moyes hasn't yet. Mikey Moore did well for him at Rangers. Sam Amo-Ameyaw played his first senior football under him. He's at Strasbourg now & an Eng u21 international.

4. Yes. Rangers is an institution rather than a football club. Like a low level Real Madrid, you HAVE to win. Rodgers once said managing Leicester was a holiday compared to Celtic.

5. Didn't do Maresca any bad. I recognise that he's world class - I saw signs when he was here - but he needed a proper break & he got it with us. Not at Parma.

6. Yes it probably does.

7. There are positives & negatives in anybody we appoint.

OK, I actually have a positive.

I've got a busy few months ahead with some important stuff in my own life, and this appointment has made my mind up for me that I won't be wasting my valuable time watching Leicester in the flesh.

Honestly, couldn't have come at a better time. When he's ineviatbly sacked by the end of January, I should just about be back to a position of having the spare time to give up whole weekends to the club again. 

So in a perverse way, cheers Top and Rudkin - you've just freed up a lot of spare time for me that I'd otherwise have spent tearing my hair out at the ****king Power. I'll probably just get my updates on how it's going (and we all know how it's going to pan out, be honest) from here instead.

I'm not positive about anything when it comes to our club at the moment but everyone deserves a chances, good luck to him.

 

He does talk well and maybe he can convince theses idiots to play for him, but I'm not holding my breath.
