Walsh wants job

[Trumpet]

Be honest, you lot.

If he came in and had an absolute NIGHTMARE, and we were losing 4-0 at home, would you be chuckling to yourselves and saying 'Good old Walshie' or would you be howling 'You don't know what you're doing' and 'Walsh OUT'? His legendary status would count for nowt if he died on his arse.

I appreciate that he's regarded with affection and was a fantastic servant to the club but he's about as well qualified for the job as we are. Does anyone actually read his column in the Mercury or listen to what he says on the radio? It's all just cliches and sabre rattling. No substance. Great for whipping the fans into a frenzy and local media punditry, but for winning football matches? It takes a bit more than that, I suspect. MON, Mourinho, Ferguson, Wenger, Benitez etc are all passionate but they've all got some brain cells as well

He's got the balls to risk that. I still think he'd be a legend.

I can also see walshy giving them a roasting at HT

I know he has something of a reputation, but could he combine his managerial duties whilst performing a roasting at half time?

If it takes a good roasting for the players to "get going", so be it. Roast em Walshy, Roast em good

Perhaps a good roasting at half time will lead to us coming from behind in the second half

[Bellend Sebastian]

Hold on, you seem to have brains and I bet you're pretty passionate about Leicester.

Bellend Sebastian for manager!!

Thanks, but I rang up to ask for an application form and they said strictly no bellends

[Father Ted]

Although are you sure you didn't get the wrong number because Megson and Allen are bellends. What makes it different now?

We might be drawing

I agree, Walsh needs to be involved more with the club. You never know, he may be the next Roy Keane

I've no problem with Walsh becoming the manager of Leicester City, but I'd just like him to prove that he's got some aptitude for the job and the only way to do that would be manage elsewhere. Keane may well end up as the manager of Man Utd in years to come, but they would never have given it to him as his first job in a million years.

I'm a bit sceptical about Walsh's motives. If he really wants to be Leicester manager, why has he never bothered to get his coaching badges, which would make him a more realistic candidate? If he's expecting an LCFC board to take him on sooner or later with no qualifications or past experience then he's madder than anyone on here

[James.]

F**k it, while we're here why don't we just get the whole f**king team back in.

Who cares if they're a bit old/retired/dead - they've got more passion than you could shake an Ormondroyd at.

Lennon, Izzet and Savage - there's the midfield sorted. Gerry, Matty and Walshy knocking lumps out of the opposition. And each other's wives. Collymore and Heskey up front (they scored 4 against Sunderland y'know!)... Good old Pegguy on the bench ready for his next clean sheet.

What's Worthington up to know? Or Shilton maybe? Gary's busy ragging some new bint, doubt it'd take too much to get him back in action though.

There. Problem sorted. All this crisis talk is utter nonsense, the answer's right f**king here. Just need passion. All that skill, aptitude, competence, badges rubbish is over rated anyway.

[Ultra]

I'm old enough to remember when Frank McLintock was manager.

He was one of the best players we had and took us to three cup finals, but he couldn't manage to save his life.

There's no reason to think Walsh would be any different.

Passion isn't enough - you need a few brains to be a successful manager. And sadly I think he'd be found wanting.

[Boycie]

Yea i totally agree with what you are saying about the coaching badges but Southgate didnt have any badges when he went Middlesbrough and they have got round it alright so why can Walshy?

[heskey 4 england]

its not just that he lives for the club and that hes leicester through and through and hes a legend ... he knows his reputation is on the line .. if hes ready and willing to put it on the line for our club then im prepared to give him a chance

2nd option grayson not only does he have the badges etc .. he also loves leicester city !

[Flynny]

I do not believe this.

The man's passionate but thick as shit. Sorry.

he really isnt as thick as you keep making out

and also you dont have to be academicly clever to be a football manager you just have to have a good football brain which he certainly has and he could get his message along alot better than previous manager we have had i really cant understand why ur putting the man down .. he wouldnt put himself in the frame if he didnt think he could do the job beacuse he wants leicester to do well more than *almost* anyone so he wouldnt risk it i dont think i trust him to do well !

[dandannieldanok]

Seemed to make a whole lot of sense on the radio, and has successfully pointed out our problems.

Totally agree mate

[Flynny]

I think the entire percentage of out fanbase that aren't clinically retarded can point out our problems, thats not hard at all. Stopping them before they happen, thats what makes a good manager.

Does he fook talk sense on the radio. The man failed to spot a 5-3-2 formation for christs sake, told Barber "no thats 4-4-2". Pretty basic. I know thats only one example but christ, you make him sound enlightened just for passing comment on the wireless.

I dont think Walsh is the right man for the job, but where do you get this idea from? Do you know him personally?

listen to yourself man Mr negative .. only a positive movement in the leicester city ranks will get us out of this dip

Yeah but if we lost he'd shout a bit and stuff, then we'd win.

cant see walshie being the answer in the long run.

he should be involved somewhere down the line but not at the highest level.

Just cos he is a genuine Leicester legend doesn't mean he should automatically be given the managers job.

After what Grayson has done at B'Pool he should be given a chance more than any of the Martin O'Neils' old Boys.

Having said that a combo of Walshie and Taggert would scare the shit out of most of our wanna be footballers!!!

100% agrre grayson no.1 choice walsh/gerry no.2

[Matt]

But surely every manager who manages the team who they have played for most of their career has that risk. It would be the same as Roy Keane going to be the manager of United in a few years time. Come on even if were losing 4-0 i think the fans would still want him to be the manager, and knowing him he would give them a massive bollocking and they would go out next week and win 4-0.

lol

Oh dear....If only it was that easy...

You are joking? right?!

[He's not bald]

100% agrre grayson no.1 choice walsh/gerry no.2

Sorry not the way to go.

I love those boys to bits, I was very much a part of that era but even Larry has done nothing yet to prove he can get us anywhere near!.

I know it would be fantastic for a start and we would win a few matches because of the buz but we just don't have the depth of ability in the squad to turn that into a play off spot at the end of the season.What we need is some old hand who can steady the ship and grind out results until January then sit down with MM and discuss what we need to make a push up the table...that's boring I know but the death or glory approach will end in failure!

[Rocky Dennis]

Please explain that one.

Errrm ok, he..... was....... a......... shite......... manager.......

[Hullfox]

Like I said it's going to be a long night.

Best be lighting a fire, there's a distinct level of dimness about the place.

I'm telling you guys, if he gets the job he won't last as long as his ban for twatting David Geddis.
