The Reverend Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 Me too, I'll just sit on my bed listening to "No Distance Left to Run" by Blur on repeat while sobbing onto my Fox Leisure trainers! lol Very good. But if it happens, its gone too far. Support you're team blah blah blah.... well we're not supporting the team, we're supporting a numpty that changes the manager every month and i cant be doing with that.
Manwell Pablo Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 This is the end for me, I wont support this club anymore, blah blah blah blah blah. Get a grip.
LeeCovFox Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 Well that's my good deed for the day.Some chairmen, Milan among them, don't seem to realise that the manager is a figurehead for the club - more so than nearly any chairman - and that fans invest a lot in each individual appointed. I feel almost physically exhausted by our managerial changes this season. That seems a bit bizarre but this club means the world to me. You listen to the spiel, you agree with a lot of it, you are glad about most of the things said and done but the performances haven't been good. Still, surely by now someone at the top must realise that you won't get stability by changing manager every four months - and the key point is that there is no guarantee that anyone else will do any better. We look at their records elsewhere and expect them to replicate them here, just as we did with Mandaric at Portsmouth - yet there are very few people who seem prepared to let us ride out a couple of years whatever the results to try and re-establish some kind of identity. By all means we can carry on like this, randomly poaching managers at will, giving them a few months and then getting rid of them but how much faith have you got that Mandaric will find someone that will win him enough games, will play attractive football, that will not argue with him too much but will stop him bringing useless foreigners to the club? And on top of that to have fan pressure as well? Money and false hope are the only reasons any manager comes here. It's a poisoned chalice. And for all his £11million, Mandaric has done a shoddy job of trying to reach his goals. I said when he arrived that as long as things improved, then I would look back after a year and be pleased that he came along. Well we haven't improved one bit. --- Good timing that, having just read the article posted above! It's just words to me at the moment. He supported Allen days before he sacked him. I'm more inclined to believe the gutter press than Mandaric these days and that's the most worrying aspect of it all. Not bizarre at all. You have just summed up exactly how I feel. Excellent post.
Moreton Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 So if we sack Ollie and appoint Billy, say he gets us into the Premeireship are we going to then sack him a get a manager that can keep us in the League? because Davies wont keep us in the Premeireship and then nobody will come anywhere near the City job.
Tommy G Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 The most shocking thing is that Holloway offered his resignation? If thats true then he's a coward.

I wish we could be thinking about the possibility of the Premiership, not for a few years i'm afraid - that's if we stay up.
maddog Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 If Ollie was playing the players in their right positions, picking the right players and playing the right tactics and we weren't getting the results we would stick with him. The fact that he's picking the wrong players, playing players in the wrong positions, and the wrong tactics tells me to get rid of him. Norwich game to save his job me thinks.

FleckneyFox Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 im actually speechless. i dont know whether to laugh or cry this club is a joke and if Holloway goes im going to find it very hard to support LCFC. its mental that we should sack another manager its even more likely we'll be relegated we should stick with Ollie for atleat the next 10 games because he can turn it around.
davieG Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 From the BBc Leicester boss Ian Holloway has hit back at suggestions his job could be in danger after a series of poor results. Some newspapers claimed Foxes chairman Milan Mandaric was considering hiring his fifth manager in 12 months as the team slid closer to the drop zone. But Holloway told BBC Sport: "Isn't it amazing? We lose a couple of games and everyone's got Milan swinging the axe. "I suggest they come up with something cleverer than that - I've outlasted everyone else here this season so far!" Leicester are currently 20th in the Championship table, two points off the drop zone, following three successive defeats - the latest at leaders Watford on Tuesday night. As a result, The Times claimed Mandaric was understood to have "sounded out replacements" just 17 games after appointing Holloway, with The Sun suggesting Iain Dowie - sacked as Coventry boss this week - could be in the frame. But Holloway insisted he was the man to turn around the fortunes of the Midlands club. The former Plymouth boss said: "We've lost three games in 10 days, which after beating Crystal Palace was an unbelieveable shock. "It's swings and roundabouts. We've scored three good goals in three games which have been disallowed, but that's life and it's all about trying to sort it out. "Anybody can beat anyone in this division and we've just got to get out of the run we're on at the moment. I'm paid to win football matches and that's what we've got to do."

"Paid to win football matches"? Four out of 18, or 19 if you count Southampton in the Cup. I wish someone would pay me on that basis.

maddog Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 Mandaric dismisses Davies Rumours Leicester City chairman Milan Mandaric has rubbished rumours that former Derby boss Billy Davies will replace Ian Holloway as manager. Davies has been out of work since leaving the Rams in November, but Mandaric says he has faith in Holloway, despite his trigger-happy reputation. "This is the time for trust," Mandaric told BBC Radio Leicester. "Ian's our manager and has full support from all of us. I'm urging supporters not to listen to speculation." Holloway took over at the Walkers Stadium a week before Davies left Pride Park. But Mandaric insists the former Plymouth boss has nothing to worry about, despite the fact they are hovering just above the relegation zone and have lost their last three games. "We have a good enough team and manager to stay up and start to work and think about the next season," Mandaric added. FROM BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ity/7244810.stm
maddog Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 I don't believe Milan. He lied to the press saying his relationship with MA was fine and there was no way he would sack him..... Then he sacked him. If we play awful Saurday and lose, im afraid thats it for IH. If i was Milan i would sack him if we perform awfully on Saturday.
DaveTrevaskus Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 Backing from Milan...Leicester City chairman Milan Mandaric said today that making a third managerial change of the season was "the last thing on my mind". With City on a bad run, speculation has been rife that Ian Holloway's position could be in jeopardy, especially as Iain Dowie and Billy Davies, who were former tips for the City hot-seat, are out of work and available. But Mandaric is determined to support his manager and insists City's fortunes under him are going to change for the better. He said: "I can't stop the speculation and I can understand why it is there. "But changing the manager again is the last thing on my mind. "I think Ollie is the right man for the job and this is the time for us to support him all the way and that is what we will be doing. "I made a change at the beginning of the season because I thought things were wrong and then another manager left. What we need now is stability, not another change. "I believe we now have good enough players not only for us to get away from the bottom of the table but to get up near the top half of the Championship. "Of course, this is a difficult time, but that is the reason everyone should get together and support the team and the manager. I am sure results will get better, starting with Saturday's game against Norwich, and we can start to climb the table." This is the same Milan Mandaric who said "Ian Holloway is not in my mind for the manager's job" 8 days before siting next to him in a press conference?
Zingari Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 This is the same Milan Mandaric who said "Ian Holloway is not in my mind for the manager's job" 8 days before siting next to him in a press conference? no you must be mistaken , thats an altogether different milan mandaric our milan mandaric is a paragon of honesty
DaveTrevaskus Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 no you must be mistaken , thats an altogether different milan mandaric our milan mandaric is a paragon of honesty Gotcha. Thought I must have been mistaken. Was it a seperate Milan Mandaric again who assured the press that he wasn't going to sack Martin Allen? Gosh, there must be a lot of Milan Mandarics around. Lucky for you, you've got the only honest one!

Lucky for you, you've got the only honest one! yes ; Milan Mandaric is a very common name in Leicester and he's often confused with less honourable types and erroneously tarred with the same brush if i were he I'd change my name to Jeffrey Archer or something
Thracian Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 yes ; Milan Mandaric is a very common name in Leicester and he's often confused with less honourable types and erroneously tarred with the same brush if i were he I'd change my name to Jeffrey Archer or something :D

Flynny Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 Two things make me think he's not going: Chris Charles is the guy who interviews Holloway every week, and will have spoken directly to him. That, and Mandaric's support is a lot more convincing this time around. "Trust" isn't a word he uses very much, I'm guessing.
gosfox Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 Jeffery Archer.... Jeffery Archer.... Jeffery Archer..... always a true blue
beemeroo Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 Does anyone see any massive parellels between us and the likes of Newcastle and Liverpool. Both teams have boards and fans that think they're way bigger than they are and lay every inch of blame on the shoulders of the managers. Ofcourse, the only difference being, we're way, way smaller than they are. What have we done in the past few years to deserve this massive community ego?
