Well i'm depressed bout this as all you are - really was thinking MA was going places, i really liked his attitude his fight and commitment.

BUT lets not get to despondant about MM because his commitment to Leic cannot be doubted - he's doing what he thinks will get us up - he sacked and reinstated at Pompey (how may chairmen do that?)- he's a srewd man.

He'll get us there - believe

Good luck to MA and thanks for all your hard work and dedication - sorry what happened.

Got a feeling its Neil Warno

but would perfer Paul Jewel

or reinstate you no who

I think everyone needs to stop placing the blame with Milan. If you just stop and think about the facts there's going to a logical reason behind all of this.

Things we know as fact:

1. Milan isn't stupid. Show me someone whos as rich as he is without being a big brother contestant!

2. He's had plenty of time in football so 1 loss, 1 draw and 2 wins aren't enough to make him sack someone.

3. Milan isn't scared of saying he's wrong. He went back to Harry Rednapp at pompey.

I think the whole story is far from known and pointing fingers before we know what's happened isn't going to do anyone any good.

Init - what a shit 24 hrs and after such a great Sat

GOD ITS HARD BEING A CITY FAN

Totally, amazing how things just turn out. I can't even begin to think who I want to replace MA, but I hope to god he doesn't suffer the same fate. I just hope the truth will come out, surely there were more internal problems than we may have contemplated, for example, piles, big veiny plumbs plumbs pertruding from your arsehole, but in a footballing spectrum. The anus of Leicester City is bleeding, Milan, get the pile cream out now

If this 'upsetting everyone' thing is true about MA and his sacking, we certainly don't want Warnock! I suspect MM go from a more conventional manager more experienced/established at this level. Praying it's not someone Megson, I'd like to see someone fresher, more dynamic, i.e. Allen back.

I'm just actually wondering if MM thought that MA didn't have experience at this level, so he thought he would lend a hand, MA didn't like that which is where all the rift started...

I don't know just my opinion

Wise words there IMO. However dissapointed I am with this decision, I feel that things will inevitably be ok. Personally, I do think we should go for a "Name". Thats people like Jewell, Tianga, Pardew (poss?)

Then you have Simon Grayson, who may still have a soft spot for us, but I think he needs a couple more years of experience.

We shouldn't go for an "unemployed manager" (except Jewell), as they are unemployed for a reason, Ie...Sh*te.

We dont want a yes man. Im sure MM doesnt want a yes man. If you look at many successful business types, they very very rarely have a team of yes men behind them. MM is exceptionally smart. Im sure he has made some bad decisions in his career, but only time will tell. Yes i would love to see MA back here, fact is, it will not happen. There is alot of speculation about why and how MA left the club. The JFh saga was over a week ago now, right? Wouldn't he have left/been pushed then if this was the case? Who knows!

The best thing we could do is stay behind MM (for the time being atleast) and see how things pan out. Im sure if he appointed Craig Levein and we were in the premiership next year, we would think MM was Gods gift!

Time will tell. On the other hand, I used to have a cracking boss at my old job, nice, funny, david brent-esq and he even used to buy a round of drinks on a Friday night. Still got his moby number......

Sorry for the essay...

Maybe...there was that rumour about Little coming in as some kind of assistant or director of football. Didn't materialise though.

Who the hell would want to work for MM, the man is impossible?

I certainly don't want Roeder or Warnock. In fact I'm not sure I'd wish MM on anyone.

I really don't know why MM doesn't do the job himself and appoint any old fool with a badge to hold the title.

Part of me hopes that someone buys MM out, gives him a few million profit to flatter his ego and lets our club get its dignity back. But would anyone else be any better? This all just leaves a sour taste to me though I can't say I'm in the least bit surprised.

In the end I'd like someone to carry on doing what MA was doing as far as our football was concerned. Trying to biold something properly. But MM doesn't want a builder. He wants compliant wand-waver.

Simon Grayson & Brendan Rodgers are two I think who might manage us successfully and with some dignity but why would they opt for a dose of MM?.

I like what our Academy people stand for, football wise, but realise our fans want a bigger "name" though, sadly I see flaws with pretty well everyone mentioned.

George Burley has some appeal as does Mike Newell but why should any of them last more than a month or two?

I suspect it will be Warnock but am actually too upset to be helpful. Apologies to everyone.

Agree with all of that. Especially the bit at the end. I've been playing CSS tonight and everytime I come off and look at these forums it hits me again that it's happened, after all the excitement and hope of the last few weeks, that now we're just sat here once again feeling shit about our club.

I've got a feeling it's gonna be Warnock sadly :( I don't want him or Glenn Roeder.

We missed out on Chris Coleman, I know a lot of people didn't want him but he was my second choice after MA.

I'd take a punt with Paul Jewell, the football will be shit but we might still go up? I guess that would be ok, although i'd prefer to see decent football on the pitch.

I'd go for George Burley. He's had a bad time at Southampton of late but he's a top quality boss. He's proven he's pretty much good at every level he's managed at.

Iain Dowie - nah.

Jean Tigana? I don't think he's even in the running and I can't see him actually working under Mandaric's dictatorship.

Simon Grayson, a good idea but I've got a feeling he hasn't got the right personality to succeed with us at a higher level.

Personally, call me crazy but i'd love to see us under someone like Steve Walsh. Right now we need someone to get behind and aside Martin O'Neill there isn't going to be anyone else apart from giving someone like Walshy a crack at it. It's risque but the support would be there I feel and right now this club needs something to get behind. I have never in my life felt more upset, let-down and iscolated as a City fan.

The question isn't who we want.................but more like who the FOOK would be daft enough to want to put their head in the firing line and work with Milan. Job security 0%. It will have to be a YES man, and then you get someone worse than McClaren.......... well done Milan...............who would want to be a manager for you ?????????

Doubt he would want to join us ......but I would go for George Burley. Doubt a scotsman would be that daft though, especially given that he had similar problems when he went to Hearts and back within a few weeks

I'm tempted to think the Bredan Rodgers story in The Mirror has some credibility. Expect to see Brian Little return as Director of Football with Rodgers having a purely coaching/team selection role. MM clearly needs an interface between him and his manager and Little would be ever the diplomat whilst giving a helping hand to a newbie manager.

didn't someone here say that mandaric has a contact there, that he leaks stuff through, and i think they got the story pretty close yesterday morning?

and to be honest, it would make sense, rodgers has no managerial form and would be thus more likely to take mandaric's shit as a trade for getting a very good head start in management.

also seems a rather obscure name for a tabloid to put their money on.

not sure about little, tho i like the sound of it, he's always liked city, and did a job for us.

- funny, people on here are talking like MA had managed us for years and has passed away, christ, the average life expectancy in the champ'ship is about a year, so this was super quick but it happens, guy last month didn't even see his team kick a ball. get over it people, stop blubbing*

*blubbing may recommence on employment of roeder or warnock being announced.

If we don't get Paul Jewell then i'm resigning from supporting Leicester while this ego maniac is in charge.

:@

Yep we need someone like Paul Jewell, we certainly dont want someone wimpy like Glenn Roeder. I keep hearing from various sources, including the Leicester City group on Facebook that Gary Megson is a favourite, and if thats the case, then god help us! :S

glenn roeder:

Team G W L D Win %

West Ham United 86 27 36 23 31.39

Newcastle United 73 33 24 16 45.21

how could he be considered as a manager, let alone, director of football

and, seriously, is this good enough....

gary megson

Nottingham Forest 59 17 24 18 28.81

i can't even see how these people can get jobs!

any other line of work, you wouldn't even get an interview.

I heard that lITTLE WAS INTERVIEWED TWICE PRIOR TO MA'S APPOINTMENT. SO THERE COULD BE SOME TRUTH THAT HE HAS LOOKED BACK AT A FAVOURABLE LITTLE.
