Who's side are you on?

[vanfox12]

Clearly all some fans care about is money and not the real things that matter in football such as supporting the players on the pitch. I really do hope Mandaric succeeds in getting us back up in 3 years otherwise there will be a lot of really angry fans asking for his head.

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

As much as I'm dissapointed about the goings on of this past week (it never rains it pours at City eh!....always seem to be in a predicament...) I wholeheartedly (excuse the pun) signed up for the rollercoaster ride of the Mandaric revolution....Viva la Mandaric! All the best to Martin Allen tho

The perfect manager does not exist, and if he did, I have to concede he would not be at Leicester.

It is a sad but inescapable fact that we will occasionally lose matches. The chairman's refusal to accept this, and his consequent whinges to mates in the media, has caused this latest bout of stomach-churning turbulence.

Unless he starts showing a little more maturity, we are going to be landed with a massive compensation bill come the end of the season!

Milan has stated several times that MA's departure had nothing to do with performances on the pitch.

Doesn't sound as if Beaglehole's had much influence on the tactics.

...or the Academy might just actually be different to the real thing.

Never a truer word said. Thracian can you think of any other reason a management team you (quite rightly) praised for their footballing principles, change them when in charge of the senior side?

I can think of two reasons. One concerned the likely influence of MM on team selection and the other a known problem that was wrongly tackled yet easily avoided.

It is too involved to explain in full but, basically, Mattock shouldn't have started and, to facilitate a proper attacking approach, we needed the pace of Chambers or Kaebi at right-back, the mobility of Stearman at centre-back and three strikers throughout the game.

Today's commentary didn't sound like any Beaglehole team I have ever watched. Not once in three years. So you have to ask who was conducting the orchestra? Cos whoever it was got it wrong.

I asked why they change the style of play, you say you can think of two reasons but I can only see you giving one - that MM had an influence. Surely if that is true as it may well be - what would impress MM the most is the result, and they will therefore play whatever style gets the result.So that they changed the system from what they use in the academy means either JR & SB don't think we have the personnel to employ the same style or that the style would not work at this level, or a combination of both. Either way I think if ever there was an indicator that playing the way you constantly insist we do wouldn't work, this is it.

Of course you could say that MM just intimidated the pair into putting out his team etc but that wouldn't really say a lot about them.

how can anyone take sides without knowing any of the facts

Apart from the absent Clive Clarke, this was the same side which hammered Watford last week.

So why did they struggle so badly to create chances against Plymouth?

It seems like the fear factor which has been been so evident in recent seasons has returned with a vengeance.

Whoever takes over as manager will need to dispel that VERY quickly if we are to make any progress in this league.
