Sven - Magician or Court Jester?

[hackneyfox]

'Sven picks the players he likes'

ffs

The initial post loses it just by mentioning Morrison

Then Hobbs shouldn't have gone out on loan, and Vitor shouldn't have been dropped either.

Who do you want, Hobbs & Morrrison?

[ibbosuk]

This is not a 'Sven Out' campaign

However, there has been a lot of crap posted on here over the past few weeks about how magical Sven is and automatic promotion is possible etc... (see 'The Sven Revolution' for a particularly biased account..)

Sven concerns me at the moment as it COULD be he is taking the club in the wrong direction. Selling Morrison, loaning out Hobbs and Schlupp, bringing-in Ricardo and the Yak. Dropping Vittor and playing Bruma today.... the list of strange decisions is becoming longer.On the plus side, Naughton is superb in my opinion, BUT I don't think he'll stay.

Is Sven still being seen as a Prize or a plonker? A magician or a court jester? Is he taking the club forward or are we actually getting rid of our better longer-term assets?

Discuss please

SHARPEN THAT KNIFE SPEND WON'T GET US UP...THIS SEASON ((((OR THE NEXT ONE)))

1. Can not motivate!

2. Team / Squad just not good enough to get promoted Dispite the money Spend has spent.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3. Massive mistake and a waste of money to give longer contracts to Gallagher & Wellens (Both are far to inconsistant to get us promotion)

MESSAGE TO THAI GUYS>>

PLEASE! PLEASE! DON'T WASTE ANY MORE YOUR OF YOUR MONEY ON MORE PLAYER THIS SEASON!!!!!!!

Tell Spend to fvck of ! the team he has wasted your money on is just NOT one of the top 6 teams in this division. (END OF STORY)

So why will next season be any better under SPEND ?......The answer is it won't be........TIME TO GET RID AND MOVE ON!!!!............

[The Doctor]

Ibbosuk - are you 4 or mentally deficient?

Why would you want sven gone?

He's managed to combine playing good football with a decent amount of success, something no manager has managed for us in recent history.

Col city fan, how would like it if we'd of kept Sousa instead?

You are a fvcking weirdo.

[21st Century Fox]

Maybe another season in this league and winning it comfortably (hmmmmmm) would do us a hell of a lot better than scraping in at the last minute.

This could be one of the most sensible things I've read on here for a while.

This is the kind of thing you see written in sh!t on a wall before someone goes on a murder/suicide spree.

[Webbo]

Sven and the owners want and are trying for promotion this year. The money involved and the fact that we are not guaranteed to be anymore successful next season than this means we have to.

While it's mathematically possible to go up we'll be trying for it.

[Salieri]

I can't work out if he is a WUM or seriously unhinged.

He's a bit like DANGEROUS TIGER (any news on that guy?), irritating but strangely entertaining.

I don't mind the WUM's if they are funny or 'off the wall' with it. It's the boring ones like buzzy and somebum that are a bit

Are you English? Just wondering.

[Bugg]

Possibly, he is absolutely barking though I can tell you that.

[Brown Fox]

Sven's problem is he is too much of an apoligist. He comes across on the radio as a nice guy. To say we "played well" literally after every loss just makes him deluded. He needs to grow a pair and rollock those players after today.

As for playing his favourite big names over people like waghorn ... well thats just a joke too

Don't think that's true. He's been one to tell it how it is after each game throughout the season. He said we were awful after Norwich and he told the players so, we did play well after the defeat to QPR and in cases like today he's simply saying had we took our chances we would have won. Waghorn is overrated also.

[ibbosuk]

Fvck off...We are going backwards.

We made the play offs last season on fvck all money...But with a workable plan and a manager who could motivate.

This season everybody's happy with mediocrity.

The players are here for the dough, unmotivated and don't give a shit, they are full of excuses, inconsistent and just not top 6 material, most of them.

We need a Warnock at the club, somebody who is going to crack a few heads, rant and upset a few people AND MOTIVATE!!!...They are all far FAR to comfortable!!!!

Do you think after the money they have put into the team that the Thai Guys are going view this season as anything other than a complete DISASTER??

I don't think we are back pedalling, don't forget we did have a bit of a disastrous start to the season. Me personally I don't think this team is ready for promotion, we need more stability so I've always considered this season as survival (which I could say we have achieved) and we will push for promotion next season.

Naturally I'm a little disappointed with Leicesters recent performances but is it just that these other teams have twigged to our style and are not allowing us to play? can't help but notice these teams now apply a considerable amount of pressure to whomever has the ball, i.e. today Naughton was marked out of the game but still played really well, just not his usual threatening self.

crap!............How can you look upon this season as a season of survival when we had made the top six the previous season....(talking out your Arsenal)

With the backing we have had this season a top 6 finish was the absolute minimum finish................

Yours is a non functional one I think...

The team last year would have been relegation this year. If you think that is fine, good for you.

Sven hasn't had any time to get the players to gel. It has been a risktaking from day one because he had to get players capable of lifting the team. Sometimes it missed as Davies and maybe Bruma has showed. It sems like Bruma disrupting the team in a strange way. Also the fans chanting for Weale has cost us. Did you know that?

Ibbosuk, I'm an optimist and I think it's an hard task to gain promotion from Championship because it's full of PL-players. It doesn't matter if we have a few promising players and a few old PL-players because a lot of the other teams have that too.

You're bitching about nothing so hows your brain doing?

how can you try and say sven hasnt had the time to get the players to gel

thats just an excuse.. they was gelled fine to get us from the bottom of the table and on the run up...

if you think this season is hard whats next season going to be like? the premiership teams who came down last season are only just now starting to come good. what happens if them coming down fire straight away next season...

The players hasn't got time to gel. It's more down to the oppo don't know how to handle our players(Bamba's first game).

We have also changed the defence a hundred times or so and how can that gel....

Sven also have to play players out of position.

Next season Sven has the players he wants from the start and can build so I don't have any worries about the future even if we would reach the PL.

Wow, I thought this thread would stir-up some opinion but I'm surprised at how much. It appears the tide is turning and that opinion is becoming more balanced. Unless I've missed it however the 'Sven revolution' seems to have gone very quiet...

It's amusing how selective you can be when you want to be. Plenty are still showing support for him, it's just now we're no longer in a purple patch you whingers are popping your heads up.

He's not perfect, no, but why does that mean anyone who doesn't 'bum him' has to be a complete sad sack.

[tylesta]

let's just sack sven and get coleman or dowie in!!!! ffs i said earlier when we was close to the playoffs i would like not to go up this year and let sven build his own team, as for the vitor problem faair play he had a cracker against scuuny, as anyone thougt he may have picked up an injury in training (most of you watch that week in week out don't you) when we lost to norwich away earlier in the season if anyone said to me you will finish top half i would snap there hands off!!! how many after that game was saying we are in a relegation battle and some even said we could go down. but a few months later after he come in and changed it around we was climbing the table and have got so close to the playoffs with a cracking run and everyone was loving it and sven was god, a bad run and all of a sudden sven is clueless, no tactical approach etc if he is clueless he did well to get us to were we are today!!!! i can remember mon days anyone remember is run and people were calling for his head??? he became a leicester legend after that!! i'm happy with sven being our manager as most are. teams take time to build not months!!! this aint aimed at you all but a certain few!!!

col city fan you have got to be the most idoitic person i ever seen o here!

Yet again a post taken completely out of context... I said that the debate is now becoming more balanced... And that the truly one sided views of 'the Sven revolution' are conspicuous by their absence. Read the post cos if you think what I wrote is one sided you ain't readin it.
