Leicester_Mad Posted 27 January 2006 Share Posted 27 January 2006 apparently Notts County started scouting for a new manager yesterday. Not seen anything official but this could mean we have made enquiries about Gudjon??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted 27 January 2006 Share Posted 27 January 2006 Apparently we've not interviewed anyone yet anyway. So the appointment will still be a while away. As with Mr C, the idea of Cotterill coming here really doesn't thrill me. I dunno if I can put my finger on why though, maybe I just don't like him. I assume that Foxes Trust or someone can't answer if we're looking for a long-term appointment or not. Cotterill and Joey's dad would surely get contracts for a year or more as they wouldn't leave stable jobs for a 5-month contract surely... I'm not sure I like the idea of us deciding on a new long-term manager now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-man Posted 27 January 2006 Share Posted 27 January 2006 Solid defence - they've conceded the same amount as us, whilst playing 4-5-1 every game. An eye for strikers - Ade Akinbiyi and Gifton Noel Williams? Cotterill may have done well at Burnley, but they'll never get anywhere with those tactics. He's got a more negative management style than Levein. I'd only take him for 4 months to keep us up, not that he would consider that though. He should be ashamed playing 4-5-1 at home, every game. I couldnt give a toss what kind of football we play as long as we stay up. however as Louise said, the prospect of Cotteril doesn't excite me.

Parsons Posted 27 January 2006 Share Posted 27 January 2006 if we did get cotteril i dont think he would constantly play 4-5-1 with us, we dont really have the players for it. if he did though he would play a big man up front witch means dublin or de vries great......

Len Finsbury Posted 27 January 2006 Share Posted 27 January 2006 The thought of some of those names scares the hell out of me. Bassett, Atkinson, Taylor As with all speculation, alot of it is nonsense.... Neil Lennon coming back...please! As much as I think the fella is god, what if he made a mess in his first year of management? We'd all hate him. I'd rather he had a go somewhere else first and then came to us after a bit of practice. Now what do I think about Cotterill? Undecided - he has done well at Burnley considering the situation that he's in but are we in a better financial position? I don't think we are, to be honest. The thought of 451 scares the bejesus out of me - more yawning to be done. So who else? Mcallister - don't think he'll want it + what did he ever do for Cov? Newell - Not sure he'd leave Luton whilst they're doing well in the league but I wouldn't mind seeing him at the Walkers. Rob Kelly - Let's see what happens over the next few matches, he may be a tactical genius in the making. Look at the novices that have done well in the past - O'Leary, Pearce, MacLaren to name but a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shauno45 Posted 28 January 2006 Share Posted 28 January 2006 Id imagine if we went for a manager just till the end of the season it will be one who isnt currently contracted to a club else we would have to pay compo ......only to pay more compo at the end of the season to get our long term manager. so Reid, Gregory, Atkinson, Bassett. Lennon, Walsh, McCallister, O'Neill? etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieG Posted 28 January 2006 Share Posted 28 January 2006 John Gregory stated he was interested on 1053 earlier and i would like to see him at the club. Why? he's a charlaton and left Derby under a cloud of suspicion if he became our Manager you wouldn't get me going down there again.

fox123 Posted 28 January 2006 Author Share Posted 28 January 2006 Good to see Cotterill favourite. Any other news on him at all with regards to the betting? there was a bit more money around for him today after what was printed about him in the sun, i think if he was given more of a free reign at leicester than he is obviously being allowed at burnley then he will obviously be very tempted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gené and Tonic Posted 28 January 2006 Share Posted 28 January 2006 our board doesn't interfere really, and I'd imagine he's got a pretty good relationship with them, afterall, they gave him a job here. Quote from the sun website: STEVE COTTERILL is a shock contender for the Leicester manager’s job, writes DAVE KIDD.The Burnley boss is furious at the sale of top scorer Ade Akinbiyi to Sheffield United. The Foxes board were impressed by his brief spell as a coach at the Walkers Stadium two seasons ago and see him as a possible successor to Craig Levein.

fox123 Posted 28 January 2006 Author Share Posted 28 January 2006 On a business point of view i dont want him installed as manager, will cost our company a few grand and affect my personal bonus......however on a personal point of view and being a fan i think he'll be a good appointment, let's hope his compensation fee's not to high!

Phube Posted 29 January 2006 Share Posted 29 January 2006 let's hope his compensation fee's not to high! But if he's as narked as the papers say he is then he could do a Redknapp (i.e. resign and then be appointed to us!!) this would negate the need for a compensation claim, would it not?
