sackmycook Posted 31 January 2006 Posted 31 January 2006 They've now contacted Preston, Luton and Burnley and have been told no each time. What did they expect the respective clubs to say 'yes'? It makes us look undecisive and the new man coming in knows how many others were approached at the same time. I do hope that these approaches are a smoke screen whilst the real negotiations are ongoing with a top class manager. (i wish)

I do hop that these approaches are a smoke screen whils the real negotiations are ongoin with a top class manager. (i wish) At the end of the day what else can they do? If a club says no it means no, we have to try for other options. They are doing one of two things... a) Unsettle a manager and hope he kicks up a fuss and wants to talk. b) Smokescreen us into thinking we are going for a good manager, when really we will end up with Peter Reid.
Manwell Pablo Posted 31 January 2006 Posted 31 January 2006 When have they approached Luton? I dunno it says we have on Teamtalk though, under the news about Davis it says we have contacted Luton and been told to go fock!? Although I don't remember seeing it anywhere else.
Suffolk_fox Posted 31 January 2006 Posted 31 January 2006 Good for the board, I say! They are working their buns off trying to find a manager - I guess you can't please everyone....
Solihullfox Posted 31 January 2006 Posted 31 January 2006 Good for the board, I say! They are working their buns off trying to find a manager - I guess you can't please everyone.... Totally agree.
Strokes Posted 31 January 2006 Posted 31 January 2006 Totally agree. I think the board should be commended for the way they have gone about this, they are attempting to interveiw all the candidates even if the the club's they are contacting are against it
Gené and Tonic Posted 31 January 2006 Posted 31 January 2006 kudos to the board, trying to find a quality manager, not a has been!
AyewJoking Posted 31 January 2006 Posted 31 January 2006 Good for the board, I say!They are working their buns off trying to find a manager - I guess you can't please everyone.... Working their buns off? 3 Phone calls?
Janx Posted 31 January 2006 Posted 31 January 2006 Working their buns off? 3 Phone calls? come on roy I think you know they ARE tryng! <_<

Janx Posted 31 January 2006 Posted 31 January 2006 I agree, its a fooking circus going on at that club at the moment OK so you would have prefered us NOT to have made contact with clubs, they were bound to go public and mouth off that we had made contact

(i wish) Asking a club for permission to speak to their manager isn't the same as giving him the job! They will want to speak to several managers before making a decision and the managers concerned will know this, it just so happens that all the managers they presently want to speak to are currently employed and they are just going through the correct channels.
LCFC UK Posted 31 January 2006 Posted 31 January 2006 OK so you would have prefered us NOT to have made contact with clubs, they were bound to go public and mouth off that we had made contact Calm down , surely the board should have one main man in mind, i.e newell or cotterill, whatever. Not go round the whole league asking to speak to the managers (slight exaggeration there yes). End of day if it was Cotterill they wanted, thats who they would have gone for and he would defo leave Burnley for Leicester, he would be a fool not to regardless of the league position. If burnley rejected, he would have kicked up a fuss. Myself i dont think its a good move, personally i would have liked to see Clough, Newall, or Allen.

What qualifies Clough as a possible Leicester Manager? Apart from getting us ready for the conference in a couple of seasons!

(i wish) to me its a good thing, they are trying to interview potential clients to see if they are suitable, they cant do thaty with out the permission of the clubs they are at, its better that leicester look at all the options by interview rather than assuming some one is suitable
LCFC UK Posted 31 January 2006 Posted 31 January 2006 Tell me again! What qualifies Clough as a possible Leicester Manager? Apart from getting us ready for the conference in a couple of seasons! Didnt Adams get rid of Cotterill? What makes you think Cotterill will stear us from relegation? and even worse stear us towards as you put it the conferance? Clough has done wonders for such a shite team, got some great youngsters there who were knowbodys to now being chased after by prem and champ teams. Theres just something about clough i like, and sooner or later some one will give him a chance.

Theres just something about clough i like, and sooner or later some one will give him a chance. Clough is still young and is going about this management lark the right way and if it wasn't for him Burton would not be in the Conference. Besides at Burton most of the money has been spent on the stadium for a possible step into league football in the next couple of Years. He seems to be following the O'NEIL route to the top starting at a Non League club. He probably wouldn't want to come to Leicester at the moment but he's one to look out for in the future if it goes pearshaped with the next manager.
sackmycook Posted 31 January 2006 Author Posted 31 January 2006 My point is that CL's job was under threat for a while. Just as the board make plans financially, for example if we are to be relegated. Surely, they should have a managerial target. This situation looks as though we will take any one of these 3 managers. And that in itself looks bad. I stand corrected but i don't remember a situation where we have made several different approaches in this manner. It amazes me how everyone seems to think the sun shines out of this boards arse just becuase they finally sacked CL. Something most of us fans would have done some weeks ago. Don't forget it was this board who chose CL over MW when he was in L1. And, remember they did not even sack MA when he clearly should have been.
Teeno Posted 31 January 2006 Posted 31 January 2006 I think the idea is that they want to talk to them all and decide what to do then. I'd more happy with any of the 3.
