Sparky Posted 2 February 2006 Share Posted 2 February 2006 He does have a point, whether you like it or not. i disagree davies maybe true but not newell or cotterill . burnley and luton do not have the stadium / training facilitys and probably wage budget to compete with us , when signing players im sure they would prefer a move to leicester than burnley or luton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we have a higher wage bill, but that can mean nothing. There's a huge risk attached to coming here. You could be throwing away the chance of Premiership football next season to get us out of League One. I would suspect most managers would rather try and fail in the top flight with a small club and limited resources than add a promotion from what is really the 3rd division to their CV.

Louise Posted 2 February 2006 Share Posted 2 February 2006 Much as it pains me to stick up for Bill, that quote was taken out of context. He went on to say that our position after winning against QPR would make us more attractive to those kind of managers. Last night's win at QPR will not have gone unnoticed by Leicester City's next manager and that may be the most significant aspect of it. Chief executive Tim Davies is trying hard to sell the potential of City but he needs the league table to make better reading to justify his efforts. Why should, for instance, Steve Cotterill, Billy Davies or Mike Newell, the three most readily-touted candidates, leave clubs where they are popular for another where, inevitably, they will be treated differently - and for a club who are in a perilous position? But if City are looking a bit safer, as they do right now, then the picture changes. City will be perceived, rightly or wrongly, as a bigger club whose turnaround would be a great notch on the old CV. True, the new man cannot really lose. If City go down, it is not his fault and, if he keeps them up, he will be a hero. Sometimes football can be seen as that simple.

andyh1884 Posted 2 February 2006 Share Posted 2 February 2006 My beef with the wan ker is him implying that city fans would not welcome the new manager. I, for one, will get behind the new man from the start whoever the board appoint. This c0ckface is basically saying any of those 3 would not be popular here & the fans would turn on them from the start. I appreciate we might not be an attractive prospect given the circumstances but the comment before that just shows his utter contempt for the people who ultimately keep the club alive - the fans. Utter tw*t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's less to do with City's own attractiveness, and more the personality of the managers concerned. If any of the three like an easy life, don't like the challenge or whatever, then this job will not be of any interest. Whatever we think, it's a huge risk coming here.Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to put us down, I'm just keeping a bit of perspective on things. Leicester is the 7th biggest city in England. i'd say that is pretty big, wouldn't you? Hull and Bristol are both bigger cities than Leicester, would you say their respective clubs are bigger than ours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
