MOT Posted 28 December 2010 Posted 28 December 2010 He was sacked by Man City and Mexico. He took the job at Notts Co when he was unemployed and when the owners were proved to be frauds he waived the £2million still owed to him. He was offered an additional contract at the Ivory coast after the world cup which he declined. How does any of that prove he's a mercenary? Sacked by City, the very next day he has the Mexico job? Took a quick payday from the Ivory Coast, amanged them for four months then pissed off. Getting pissed off with this MOT guy. Getting pissed off ? You've had something against me from the minute I joined. Without basis may I add. I've only said things that have been echoed by other Leicester fans.

Because your annoying little WUM and i really do not understand why you post here, you never have anything positive to say and just generally piss me off.

Babylon Posted 28 December 2010 Posted 28 December 2010 Sacked by City, the very next day he has the Mexico job? Took a quick payday from the Ivory Coast, amanged them for four months then pissed off. How is getting sacked and then taking another job "jumping ship", he didn't quit so he didn't jump. His contract was short and they both knew it when he agreed to manage them. He was out of contract and free to leave, again he didn't jump shit. So stop talking shit.
Wymsey Posted 28 December 2010 Posted 28 December 2010 If we can't beat Millwall then we are basically shit all round. As i said not long ago for the games against Leeds, Millwall, Hull and Swansea - we will only get a point out of just the Leeds game and lose to the others.

Are you saying the Man City board wanted him to stay? He saw out the original contract he was offered when he amanged(sic) Ivory Coast.

Picking up on a typing error, don't you feel superior Answer me this question. Do you think he is at Leicester because he "wants to acheive something" (like he did with the Ivory Coast) or because they are offering the best wages?

Top managers command top wages, however you still haven't given us any examples of him jumping ship for more money and after you told us he had a long record of doing just that.
Gazza M Posted 28 December 2010 Posted 28 December 2010 I think the club needs to get realistic. Lets stop chasing and talking about old has beens and players that are out of our reach. E.G Shay Given. We need to start putting a squad together to get us out of this division next season. The season was doomed from the start, when Milan and Hoos pissed off the best manager we've had for ten years. However we have another good manager here and given time I'm sure he can get us out of this league. It's not rocket science getting a decent championship side together. Just look at the current QPR side. Generally if you have a well organised back five who are prepared to play ugly when needed, along with a couple of midfielders who can put balls in good areas to a guy who can put the ball in the net, then you will get success. We currently have very little of the above. So I think in order to be a success we need to get towards having this recepie in time for next August. I heard a guy on Radio Leicester tonight saying lets build from the back and I totally agree. I think Chris Weale is a good goal keeper, he's just lacking confidence, so let's stick by him now for the rest of the season. Lets push the boat out and get Naughton signed up permanantly. The guy has lots of ability. Lets get Cunningham in for the rest of the season and buy a centre half partner for Hobbs who knows how to play this level. Lets get them playing together as a unit and stop shipping so many goals. I think this window should really be about that more than anything. Lets get the defence tighter first and then look at the attack down the line. Also as much as anything we need to remove the players who don't want to be here and/or aren't good enough to be here. E.G Kirkland, Davies, Nielson, Lamey, Moreno, Fryatt, Bednar, Berner.

Eriksson is a top manager is he High profile yes, top manager- no. Look at the number of clubs he has been through. He goes where his pay packet is going to be greatest. It's not a knock against him, it's just in his nature. And it was in response to someone saying that he was there because he is driven by achievement ( ) and that he wanted to get Leicester into the premier league. Do you really think that is why he took up the job?

But then Grayson , who left Blackpool for more money don't forget, wouldn't be at Leeds for £500 a week either. When you've won as many trophies as Sven then you're entitled to call yourself a top manager.

And Grayson has already turned down a reported 20k a week from a premiership club, and a close friend of Grayson, Dusty Miller and Snodds tells me he is on 3k at Leeds

MOT Posted 28 December 2010 Posted 28 December 2010 You get what you pay for. Not in this case... In Grayson's tenure he has taken a team that was 11th in league one (lowest point ever) to 4th in the championship (second on points ) whilst beating scum 1-0 at their ground for the first time in 27 years or something stupid, drawing with Tottenham at their ground. Leicester made a massive mistake in not approaching him once Holloway got sacked, I read in the Yorkshire Evening Post that the only clubs he'd drop to League 1 for were Leicester and Leeds. Our best manager since Sgt. Wilko. I'd call that value for money, wouldn't you
karl rudham Posted 28 December 2010 Posted 28 December 2010 Yes, lets be realistic and forget about the prospect of the playoffs this season, it is simply not going to happen even with any significant January investment. Now it is about building for a real push next season and building a team that has the heart & soul and quality to take a real grip on the Championship next time out. Some may think we punched above our weight last season and maybe so, this season has seen more upheaval, more changes and more instability, but the only way is up now. Sven does need to make some big changes in his squad and a natutral goal scorer is a must with real creativity out wide and some muscle at the back. It's hard to name players that will be within our reach, who would actually be available and who most of all would want to come here anyway. Bring on January 1st and lets see where we go from there.

Our mistake was letting him go, that's why we are 17th, and now Sven has to pick up the pieces.

That said, anyone who beats ManUre is okay by me.

Our mistake was letting him go, that's why we are 17th, and now Sven has to pick up the pieces. Grayson took a beaten Leeds team that was nowhere near the playoffs in Christmas made a few shrewd signings, and basically did what you want Sven to do now, get them into the playoffs. When he took over he was about 10 points away from the PO's, how far away are you now, and most of you have written the season off.
Finnegan Posted 28 December 2010 Posted 28 December 2010 Eriksson is a top manager is he High profile yes, top manager- no. Now you're just blatantly WUMing. As I've said to plenty of our own fans, I've never understood why it's so popular in certain circles of English support to be distrusting of SGE. He has a fantastic track record at club level, was your best national manager in decades and has long advocated 'good' football. Stories of his mercantile nature are massively exaggerated. Of course he wouldn't be here for peanuts but at the same time the man isn't skint and there are other jobs out there. He's here for the chance to manage in the Premiership and sees the club as a vessel to do that and given the money already waved around by the new owners I don't see why that's something to mock. Yes, this season probably should be written off but that doesn't mean the club's prospects should be. I'd rather be a Leicester fan than a Leeds fan, currently. You're riding the same wave of form and confidence we did following promotion, where will you be when the bubble bursts? You've an average squad, at best, an an average manager. And resources? You spent an eternity in League One for a reason.
The Doctor Posted 28 December 2010 Posted 28 December 2010 premiership isn't out of reach yet, just under half a season to go and the league is so tight we could be on the edge of the play-offs this time next week. If we spend wisely in the transfer window and improve our away form then we'll be right up there. now can we stop with the fooking knee-jerk reactions everytime we lose!

When he took over he was about 10 points away from the PO's, how far away are you now, and most of you have written the season off. I haven't. We still have half a season and Sven has not been able to make any permanent signings. It's ridiculous to write him off now. If we don't make the play-offs I blame Mandaric and Sousa. Sven I will judge next season. But we are by no means finished yet. I'm not having a dig at Grayson, I really like him. He's done a good job with you. I think it was you lot who were writing him off a few weeks ago though. If we still had Pearson however I'm convinced we would be in the top 8.

For me it's more than just league position, though. One thing that's been evident in the last few weeks is that Sven needs time to shape the club to his own will. He clearly wants to build his own squad from the ground up and that will take time. I'd much rather us get promoted with the foundations of a side that Sven considers his own than go up on the back of ten thousand loanees and have him have to build the side from scratch in the two months before a Premiership season.
