beloveddeparted Posted 17 January 2006 Share Posted 17 January 2006 Just heard from somebody I know who works behind the scenes at the Walkers that a behind closed doors meeting is being held tonight with a press conference at 10.45 tomorrow. He belives that it is to sack craig levein. But I think it may be to announce what he has to do to stay at the club. either way it looks bleak whatever the outcome.

To call a board meeting you are usually legally obliged to give notice to all board members. This could explain the delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try not to think of Levein being a Scot as he embarasses me. He's an embarassment to my homeland is the most passionless Scot I've ever seen I mean a lampost has more personality than him.

Umm I guess, but frankly I would have thought that they would have told him, loose e y & z or don't get x amount of points and you are out mate ... Maybe its working out how much compo to pay him ?

The Reverend Posted 17 January 2006 Share Posted 17 January 2006 There is no way Craig levein will be sacked. That means that the board will have to admit they made a mistake which aint gonna happen. League 1 here we come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 17 January 2006 Share Posted 17 January 2006 If Levein takes us to Div 1 and still keeps his job Div 2 is a distinct possibility with his management ability. Sad but true It's a shame Martin O'Neill gave us his seal of approval when Levein was appointed, it might have saved alot of heartache for alot of fans. I wonder whether O'Neill genuinly meaned what he said about Levein? If not then that makes him a liar and if he was telling the truth then he's a shit judge of manager abilities.

I think maybe O'Neill was just backing a fellow professional as people in the football business normally do as I remember O'Neill giving P Taylor a similar vote of confidence. O'Neills just a nice bloke and not his fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemon Harpic Posted 17 January 2006 Share Posted 17 January 2006 the board have realised it is the fans who keep the club afloat and if the fans dont like the manager then they will have no option but to get rid I wish. Tim Davies and Craig Levein are totally divorced from the fans and what we want. They have no idea how we feel. It's like we live on one planet and the chief executive and management live on another. Don't be fooled. We have absolutely no say in how the club is run. We hand over the money that keeps the club going, and are expected to just shut up and watch as City sink without trace. On the few occasions we can make our voices heard, Davies and Levein just dismiss us in the most arrogant and condescending manner, trying to downplay the number of people who want the manager out, telling us to support the team, and waving away the criticism Levein gets as being "part of football". It's only part of football, Craig, when your inept handling of team affairs brings our club to it's knees. There's something badly rotten at Leicester City, and I don't beleive we'd be in this position if the fans weren't so marginalised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something badly rotten at Leicester City, and I don't beleive we'd be in this position if the fans weren't so marginalised. You're being overly cynical IMO...It isn't a one-man show you know! Davies can't fire Levein at will, it's a board decision. And the board are looking at the finances first and foremost, the rest is secondary... I think you'll find that Davies is more open than most Chief execs out there, and I think he knows pretty well how the fans feel. No we don't run the club (thank God as we would bringthe club crashing down within a few months!!!), but we do have a say nonetheless. It's no secret that Levein's tenure is hanging by a thread now...Which is due to dwindling attendances, some fan pressure and poor results...

It's no secret that Levein's tenure is hanging by a thread now...Which is due to dwindling attendances, some fan pressure and poor results... If the manager does go, it will be because of dwindling attendances and the prospect of League One football. Fan pressure is just ignored by the board and the management. Levein's tenure seems quite secure now, which is incredible when you look at where we are. The board have taken the decision to support the manager and hope that results magically improve. The fans wanted the opposite approach, to cut Levein away as soon as possible and give his replacement the maximum amount of time to turn things around. Like I said, two different worlds. If results change then the board's approach will be vindicated, if they don't change we will be relegated and fundamental changes must be made to the way the club is run.
