Walsh wants job

Agreed that he has never managed before, but that means he has never succeded or failed. Does he deserve a chance?

Also are the likes of Megson & co really up to the job? What is this great fear of the unknown Walsh failure or success?

It's not just a case of either succeeding or failing though - he'll have to understand what the job actually entails. This is where Kelly fell down. He's a coach (not a particularly amazing one either for crying out loud) and he couldn't cope with management. Walsh isn't even a coach, he's made no attempt to get into football management other than declaring his interest in our job a couple of times! What sort of passion or commitment is that? He's not exactly putting in the hard yards. He's just mentioned he's interested and is letting people like you do the hard work for him by trying to rally support for him!

The other thing is that, whatever you say about Megson, he did organise the team. Okay so it was defensive but they did look like a proper football team mainly in terms of fitness and work ethic. I remember Taylor's team with the likes of Jacob Laursen - they didn't even look remotely fit.

And to say you'd want an experienced manager as assistant is ludicrous. If you're that desperate to get Walsh involved then it should be the other way round.

Quality player, will always be a ledgend at the club.

Leave it there walsh and always be a hero.

Im torn on this one, I would love to see Walsh take over and make a succes of it but like many I would fear for his status if it went wrong.

Totally rightymundo Fezzarinho.

Terrible idea making him manager. I doubt the bloke would know where to start.

The fact is having had 4 managers in 5 months the one thing we can't take is another massive gamble that may go tits up and end by the new year. Walsh represents this gamble. Sure his passion may rub off and work, but there's more to man management and organising a winning team than passion. Just ask Kevin Keegan about his England spell!!

Plus, could you imagine booing off a Walsh team if it didn't work out. It'd bring me close to tears! Thanks for the memories Steve, but stick to the pundetry (or be a coach if you're really keen).

Why take that massive risk though? It didn't work with Kelly and I don't see why it would work with Walsh? Managers should start at a lower level than this if they want to manage a club like ours, not just waltz into a big club with the pressure and expectation that's attached - just because they used to play for us.

Fair enough you would be willing to take the risk but personally I wouldn't trust this football club to be managed by a beginner. It needs someone who has an idea what he's doing.

we were supposedly not taking a "risk" when we employed levein. taylor , basset ,allen etc etc they had the credentials but still could not cut it ; you take a risk with any manager , they come with reputations and experience but all too often are just men of straw ;

steve walsh could turn up every day and sit in his managers chair all day with a dunce cap on his head and not do any worse than some of the shower of idiots we have seen fit to employ ;

i do know what you are trying to say about the need for so called experience and appreciate your reluctance to endorse a walshy type move ; but i'm not sure I believe it anymore after leicesters piss poor years with the so-called experienced tw*ts ;)

He's not a football manager.

But Fez, he's a legend. He loves the club.

Why does it matter he has never managed before? He says some great things on the radio.

If all goes wrong, we can always start again.

Not forgetting, he's a legend.

Hey don't put words in my mouth big boy!

If we were to give anyone a job, give them the whole job none of this director of football nonsense.

Megson did a very good job with the defense a bit like Cotterill did under Adams for his short time here. Megson was never my fav and others on here can tell you that! As for Walsh and his bandwagon I will always support him just because of history just like you, maybe tho you are being very logical and if it was anyone else I would agree that Leicester is far too an important club to start your career at. But this is Mr Leicester, can you imagine Walshy in charge at Stamford Bridge for the first time and we won? Amazing if that were ever to happen (dreamland!) :D:):unsure::cool::rolleyes:;):D

I'm a bit alarmed by people saying that things couldn't have been any worse than they have been for the past few seasons.

Yes, it's been tepid and tedious and the results have been shocking, but we haven't been losing 3 or 4 nil week in week out. It may not have been acceptable but it's hardly the time to throw out conventional football logic and take a chance on, well, a chancer

We will end up hiring some other clueless loser whatever so we may as well have Walshy, who cares if he's crap at least he'll look interested. :whistle:

True. I think you need at least two brain cells to have other things on your mind.

Blackpool took the chance with Grayson 2 years ago and look at him now, he is wanted here.

So Grayson had been doing BBC Radio Oopnorth for a few months and then just mentioned he fancied a go, did he?

good point and one that keeps being lost on the posters that seem to think experience comes with any guarantee ;)

Grayson moved into coaching in 2004-05, managing the reserve squad at Bloomfield Road with some success. The fact that the reserve side were winning and playing passing football didn't go unnoticed, and he was named caretaker manager of the first team in November 2005 following Colin Hendry's departure. After successfully preventing Blackpool from relegation that season he was given the job on a permanent basis for the start of the 2006-07 season where he has steered a Blackpool side battling against relegation last season to promotion contenders.

What an idiot! All that effort! He should have just gone to live in southern Spain and moan occasionally about how crap Blackpool were!

You're agreeing with something thats patently bullshit. Will you think for just a second, please? Pretty please?
