Still not as good at Nige.

Nige instructing his players

to go forward and bag some goals.

I miss that warm barmy summer of 'Nigie-ness', going mental when Eric scored at Preston, despairing when we played Norwich, on the verge of tears against Brum, content and smug against Barnsley and deflated against Wolves... happy days!

And all the time i never doubted that he was a decent, credible manager and was by and large confident, havent felt that way since about Allen, Megson or Ollie...

Promotions from the Championship/Division One:

Allen: 0

Holloway: 0

Worthington: 1

You know it makes sense. :D

It's not going to happen... he's got a nice cushdy job over in Ulster, plenty of travel and stays in swish hotels included, to swap that for a return to the LCFC-Asylum would be... well, madness.

Mickey Adams a Leicester Legend. Thats a bit strong :giggle:

In honesty Adams inherited a Premier League Squad and didn't actually lose many players in that Summer, so he effectively started in the Championship with a Prem Squad, No real wonder why we were promoted under him. Problems began when he was allowed to sign players. He actually signed a lot of quality but he never knew who his best 11 was, what's more his substitutions were uninspiring and a lot of the time too late. No real wonder then, we were subsequently relegated back to the Championship. We lost a few players and more importantly Adams lost the players respect in the dressing room. That's why it never worked out for him, Not a crap Manager just not strong enough to manage City when he did.

IMO obviously :thumbup:

Anyway, all irrelevant, he's gone. We got Ollie, and we are going down fighting for survival.

If you think the players decide alone the league position why even employ a manager?

How is sheff utd doing with their prem squad? charlton in the top 2?

I'm pretty sure Olle will be out no matter what our fate is, if we stay up or if we go down. The difficult thing with this new manager thing is that it all depends on when Olle gets the boot. If it's before the end of the season i imagine it will be someone who Milan knows can keep us up, possibly another short term deal (like with Worthington) but I honestly hope that we can survive get into the post-season and bring in Steve Walsh as the new gaffa. This club needs something it hasn't had for many years and thats passion. Sure he has little experience but Walshy is passionate about the club and with a new and good coaching team we could see a revival. Its probably going to be Dowie though lets be honest.

A what point did I say that? all I stated was a fact, we had a squad of players that had played in the Premiership and IMO we were one of the strongest squads in the Championship that season. Mickey did well with that bunch of players but he never really added anything to the squad, the problems occured for him when he began dealing in the Transfer market the following Summer. Try reading the posts properly before commenting.

Neither are WBA who IMO have the strongest squad in this division. But that has nothing to do with anything that happened the Season we were Promoted with Micky Adams.

I would like to reiterate (as you appear to have missed my point) that Im not slating Adams at all, I just dont think he should be classed as a Leicester Legend. IMO he is a good coach but not up to the task of Managing at Championship or Premier League level.

NOTE : They key to this really is IMO. If you dont agree fair play :thumbup:

The fact that he spent time this season as Colchester number 2 says it all for me really.

You shouldn't have mentioned that - you'll get the pro-Micky brigade on yer back.

And also the fact he left Coventry in relegation trouble, but yeah, let's ignore that.

I was reffering to a comment saying jade could have got us promoted that year, he had a squad advantage yes but there was still work to be done for promotion. I agree tho he is no legend but he was our last good manager.

Fair enough ( I never mentioned Jade though?!?!?) . At least we agree he is no Leicester legend :thumbup:

For me the last good Manager was Martin O'Neill and half the fans wanted him out to begin with.. :unsure:

next people will be saying brian little is a bad manager because he had less success after he left us.

He won the League Cup with Villa after he left us, Thats success isnt it? If not then sections of our support claiming to be a "Big Club" are even more deluded than first thought.

He has had a few dodgy seasons with Tranmere and now Wrexham but in fairness to the bloke they were both struggling before he went there.

Little was quality with us and Villa but the Managment Team he had with Gregory and Evans would be the major factor along with that.

Similar to how O'Neill worked with Walford and Robertson, the Manager managed and the Coaches Coached.

What's it matter? We'll get another blinkered soul who fill the side up with people who defend well but can't shoot and can't/don't create much.

Its a sobering thought that we've failed to score in 17 games this season including, extraordinarily, eight since January when Holloway got his new team.

Which means that City are scoring in proportionately fewer games with the new team than the old!

Reassuring that. Especially as, with Shush!, Dodds and Gradel exiled, Kingy being used simply to make the numbers up on the bench and Beswick not getting a look in I don't see too many potential scorers or even makers of goals among the options.

It's even worse when you realise that probably half or more of our modest goals tally have come from set pieces and our set pieces look generally awful now.

But I'd have Taggart/Beaglehole til the end of the season at least. People who know the club, know the players and hopefully know how to get the best out of them.
