MBK Posted 11 April 2007 Author Posted 11 April 2007 That looks a thrilling ride, no seriously!Wortho is a stop-gap nothing more, unless he wins 3/4 of the remaining games. Even if he wins the games, we need someone consistent. Worthington cannot satisfy us with the kind of team we demand over a season. He is an excellent decision for 5 games, in fact come Saturday we'll have a good chance for a display and goals. I can list a lot of reasons why Worthington is better than Ince, Coleman, Robson in that neither of them can provide a short term improvement as we need. Motivation is what the team needs to believe and achieve.
lookwhaticando Posted 11 April 2007 Posted 11 April 2007 Oh for ****s sakes people, settle down! He's here for five games as far as we know. Let's leave it at that. Focus on the short term (the next five games) and then worry about next season when this one's done and dusted. That's Milan's stated intention - to focus on the next five games and keep us in the league we're in now. End of. Jesus christ, if Dave Bassett came to watch a match one day, you'd all be shitting your pants at the prospect of him being manager! Get a grip already!
The Stig Posted 11 April 2007 Posted 11 April 2007 obviously will give him backing for the remaining 5 games but i would love to see coleman bought in as permenant manager during the summer. Think he has done a fab job @ Fulham agreed, good manager and i think it would be good for his career to come here, to say he dragged a Championship club out of the shit and in to the prem would be a good achievement for him.
Thracian Posted 11 April 2007 Posted 11 April 2007 just give him a chance I knew someone would come in with that. Honestly reading the saga of Leicester City these days is like reading Beano and Dandy - entertaining enough at times but all a load of nonsense. everyone we sign these days is like one of those horses off an old fashioned Merry-Go-Round. Good, solid, reliable, old hacks who've been around the block but aren't going anywhere. Footballing jobsworths. What earthly point is appointing a manager and an assistant for five sodding games? Is Mandaric so self-assured that he doesn't think the our future manager will need every minute he can get to prepare for the new season. Worthington might be Mr Experience but we've seen what that means from the loanees we've brought in and this season's signing of people like Johnson, Kenton, Horsfield and Newton. Levein tried to defend us to success, Kelly's tried to do the same and Worthington will make an unwanted hat-trick. We don't need uninspiring old fashioned ideas from yet another managerial journeyman. We need inspiration, energy, forcefulness, imagination, genuine ability and real personality to lift us out of the mire and then to plot our way for the new season. I don't know about Kelly. I'm fast starting to wish that Mandaric would sod off too. It's like pass the sodding parcel where our manager is concerned and when the paper's opened its never for anything worth the effort. Did MON leave such a legacy of in-house non-co-operation that we are simply scared to appoint non-conformist but talented men of vision anymore?. If so it's a shame. Cos Worthington's appointment is like an orgasm in a blow up doll. It's so sodding pointless.
Mort Posted 11 April 2007 Posted 11 April 2007 Is Mandaric so self-assured that he doesn't think the our future manager will need every minute he can get to prepare for the new season. I think it more likley that its a case of brininging, at short notice, to a club with an iffy squad and only a handful of games left to ensure saftey, the only manager willing to come in a do the job... he hardly fills me with much confidence, but its a stop-gag and as a "stop gap" its acceptable.
Lets Be having You Posted 11 April 2007 Posted 11 April 2007 Cos Worthington's this appointment is like an orgasm in a blow up doll. It's so sodding pointless. Love it, but its so true

Flexx Posted 11 April 2007 Posted 11 April 2007 Yeah basically Worthington is just using this as an oppurtunity to get back into management. I doubt Milan is stupid enough to offer him a contract full time, but he knows he should be able to keep us up. If wortho is successful then he should get offered another job in the summer, but i just really hope he doesn't win all 5 games (It sounds stupid, but i would rather he did the least possible and still keeps us up cos i don't want him here full time)
lookwhaticando Posted 11 April 2007 Posted 11 April 2007 Oh shit - did you have to mention Bassett Of course. I saw the posts of mindlessly panic stricken fans, so I thought I'd push them right over the edge! It's fun to be a sociopath sometimes! :D
Flexx Posted 11 April 2007 Posted 11 April 2007 Is Worthington getting paid for these 5 games by the way?
MC Prussian Posted 11 April 2007 Posted 11 April 2007 Hmm... Has anybody else already noticed that we've dedicated a sheer 10 pages to Nigel Worthington? Nigel Worthington. That's his name.

People are worried we might have found a manager who's going to win the last five games. That's what I gather from the last 10 pages, anyway.

De Vries The King Posted 11 April 2007 Posted 11 April 2007 there was very little if any chance of Coleman taking over 1 - he probably wants some time out of the game and 2 - he's now an established premiership manager meaning he would have no desire in joining an underachieving and limited team such as Leicester.
lildave3 Posted 11 April 2007 Posted 11 April 2007 I can't see him being here next season, but i'll give him a chance and if he does well in these 5 games then you never know.

Cos Worthington's appointment is like an orgasm in a blow up doll. It's so sodding pointless. I agree with sentiment if not with certain reasons you've given. But having had time to think about it, we have had to find someone straight away and had not had time to look round properly, and this person would have had to be willing to be a caretaker role for five games with no gurantee of a job after. So that rules out any one with the security of a long term job (i.e. the guv'nor) and I don't see Mike Newell wanting such a role so soon after losing his job, same with Coleman. So who does it leave? Your Robsons, your Souness's, and your Hoddles, and I'm not entirely sure they would of been up for it either. Theres not a awfull lot to gain from this from a managers point of view, five games to sort out a set of players that have been poor for most of the season, it's the definition of poision chalice. So when looking at it like that I suppose we've not done to badly.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 11 April 2007 Posted 11 April 2007 I notice there is still only one person aboard the "Wortho-wagon".
Matt Posted 11 April 2007 Posted 11 April 2007 I can't see him being here next season, but i'll give him a chance and if he does well in these 5 games then you never know. Thats what worries me, If he wins all or does well in the 5 remaining games you can't really argue, on that record he deserves the job, but RK did that when he came in as manager last season, look what happened this season. Deja Vu?

lookwhaticando Posted 11 April 2007 Posted 11 April 2007 I notice there is still only one person aboard the "Wortho-wagon". I think I tried too hard to sell the idea. I'm glad to say, the wagon is fully serviceable - MOT'd and fully insured... so if anyone fancies hopping on, I'm more than ready for them. Thats what worries me, If he wins all or does well in the 5 remaining games you can't really argue, on that record he deserves the job, but RK did that when he came in as manager last season, look what happened this season. Deja Vu? I think Matt has a point... sort of. Anyone who can get these useless feckshites to win 5 games in a row deserves consideration at least.
He's not bald Posted 11 April 2007 Posted 11 April 2007 *puts hand up*I'd like to argue, please. It seems obvious to me that Worthington would have asked the question "what if I do well?"..if by some miracle he gains us 11 or 12 of the 15 points left I think he will get his chance!

Deja Vu? Of course you can argue he doesn't deserve the job, five games is nothing.
