scinnell Posted 27 June 2010 Posted 27 June 2010 who would you like to see manage leicester IF Nigel Pearson did leave? My top 3 will be: 1. Tony Mowbury 2. Alan Curblishly 3. Eddie Howe
Jfox Posted 27 June 2010 Posted 27 June 2010 4. Nigel Adkins - worked magic with no budget at s****horpe
Guest Mee-9 Posted 27 June 2010 Posted 27 June 2010 Bloody hell. Another thread on this. Check the other threads first Theres a 40 odd page thread on Nigel Pearsons situation
Callabinho Posted 27 June 2010 Posted 27 June 2010 He is as good as gone feel :\ ! Obviously there are things going on in the background that have unsettled him! We wont get any one we want I don't think, it will be Kenny Jacket I feel just because he wont be on as much as Pearson is and maybe would have a raise coming here! all these names like Mowbury and Curb's do you think we could afford them? I hope its just me but I cant help but feel this will be a disaster if it comes off, I can see him taking Hobbs with him maybe even Fryatt I just hope I am really wrong .....
Asha Posted 27 June 2010 Posted 27 June 2010 4. Nigel Adkins - worked magic with no budget at s****horpe Actually, I'd never thought about him as a possibility. What a cracking shout that is.
C-man Posted 27 June 2010 Posted 27 June 2010 I'd offer Craig Shakespeare the job in a bid to keep him, Steve Walsh and the rest of the staff in place. Chris Powell as number 2. Don't suppose he'd be after much dough and might be willing to make the step up. CS is seriously underrated.
Unabomber Posted 27 June 2010 Posted 27 June 2010 I would try and get Sean O'Driscoll, but I doubt he would come.
Legend_in_blue Posted 27 June 2010 Posted 27 June 2010 We shouldn't be discussing NPs replacement. We should be discussing MMs instead. Harsh. But true.
DanTheFox07 Posted 27 June 2010 Posted 27 June 2010 id take o`driscoll or Howe, Howe is probably one of the best upcoming managers in the country!

Fox92 Posted 27 June 2010 Posted 27 June 2010 Not that I want him, but I just read the following: http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Former-Leicester-boss-Micky-Adams-could-return-after-Nigel-Pearson-departs-for-Hull-article496979.html Surely thats not true.
1964FOX Posted 27 June 2010 Posted 27 June 2010 Same list it would be for any vacancy not interested in a replacement till it's official.
Chairman of the Bored Posted 27 June 2010 Posted 27 June 2010 id take o`driscoll or Howe, Howe is probably one of the best upcoming managers in the country! What Eddie Howe did at Bournemouth during the past two seasons was nothing short of a miracle. But there were a set of circumstances surrounding his achievement that would never be replicated at Leicester. His side-kick, Jason Tindall, is married to one of the Directors daughters and he brought back Bournemouth Legend Steve Fletcher (who is his mate) and that helped to galvanise the club. Eddie is still very raw and managed to get some great performances out of average players and he didn't have to spend any money (always a problem if you have a bit to throw around). He'd be the first to admit he has a lot of learning to do and I'm not sure how he'd handle bigger, more experienced players yet. League One will be a tester for him, but he's not ready for the Championship yet. Give him time and who knows, but I wouldn't gamble on him just yet. Sean O'Driscoll would be a much better bet. He has some great Prem contacts ands knows how to wheel and deal for loan players. He also likes to play a passing game, which is what we all want to see at LCFC.

AyewJoking Posted 27 June 2010 Posted 27 June 2010 Is it official yet? Must be otherwise there'd be an official statement or something.
samjohnson Posted 27 June 2010 Posted 27 June 2010 Fabio Capello. I was just thinking the same thing :laugh: Sousa would be... different Eddie Howe possibly... Nigel Adkins would be a seriously good shout
Guest Bilo Posted 27 June 2010 Posted 27 June 2010 I've already stated why I think Paulo Sousa would be a good shout but surely Leicester would be a sideways move for him? Not all managers are like Pearson y'know. In terms of managers who may well realistically consider us, I do like the sound of Nigel Adkins. Done a great job for Scunny on what must be the Championship's lowest budget. If we want to get out of paying compensation to clubs because of our financial situation however, we should look to managers out of work who seem to have been dealt a bad lot. I'm thinking Gareth Southgate, who was sacked for taking Boro to second in the league for some reason, would love another crack at management and we would represent a decent opportunity. Another name that hasn't been mentioned as of yet, which is something of a surprise, is Jim Magilton. He may have been sacked from his last job, but being sacked by QPR is almost a badge of honour these days. He's been out of work for over six months, probably wouldn't command huge wages and had QPR playing some very attractive football before his spat with Buzsaky that led to his downfall.

Sousa or Adkins possibly. Magilton or Southgate, not for me.
irDeano Posted 27 June 2010 Posted 27 June 2010 I wouldn't mind o'Driscoll, Lee Clark, Nigel Adkins and John Still. My favourite for the job has to be Adkins though, really rate him as a manager and is used to working for a club with no money so shouldn't be too much of a shock when MM tells him "right we've got no money, get free transfers + loans" at the start of every transfer window...
Guest Bilo Posted 27 June 2010 Posted 27 June 2010 Sousa or Adkins possibly. Magilton or Southgate, not for me. My first choice would be Sousa without a doubt but we have to be realistic. Swansea finished two places below us last season, would Sousa really see us as a great forward career move? Even if he did and decided to leave Swansea, they'd want a fairly hefty compensation package. Adkins might be a different case. He'd certainly see us as a step up from his current club in every conceivable way but the fact that his entire managerial career in England is at Scunthorpe worries me. We know through Ian Holloway that a successful manager of a small club might not necessarily do the business at a bigger one, especially with Milan in charge. So Southgate is next up. Experienced at Premiership level with a club that probably has similar expectations to ours, he did reasonably well with what he had in this division. A far from perfect job I'll grant you, but time away from the game to realise your mistakes and learn from them can be a help, I refer once again to Holloway. Southgate also has great experience and respect within the game from his playing days, and would very much be one for the future if we're going to push for the Premiership again. Magilton is more of a wildcard. OK is how I'd describe his tenure at Ipswich, and his sacking for failing to reach the play-offs was a tad harsh, especially seeing as his successor Roy Keane saw even more investment and has done a worse job. As for his time at QPR, you needed only to see how they were playing early on in the season and how much we respected them before THAT game at Loftus Road in October. They played some truly lovely stuff at times and were more than capable of tearing teams to pieces on form. QPR only really imploded when he left the club and the managerial merry go-round started again.
Salieri Posted 27 June 2010 Posted 27 June 2010 I'd have to say that out of the four that you have suggested, Southgate would worry me the most. He took Middlesboro down and admittedly his sacking was a tad harsh with them being around the Play Off area when it happened, but i just don't see him as ever being a top manager. I can't quite put my finger on it, but i think part of it is that i think the best managers have to have a bit of a 'nasty' streak in them. To be able to command respect from your players you need to be a leader of men and i just don't see that in Southgate. He comes across as reasonably intelligent, and tactically aware to an extent, but that is not enough. Magilton for me is almost the opposite, i reckon he could be a right nasty bastard but has he got the tactical nous to back it up? His record, like Southgates, isn't great. I'm always happy to be proved wrong of course, and whoever the new manager was to be i would back them 100%.
