pSinatra Posted 18 August 2011 Posted 18 August 2011 The manager seems to take a different view, otherwise he wouldn't have dropped him.. Plenty on here would strongly disagree with you. The biggest tantrum seen on these boards in recent times was not last night, or after the Reading game, but when Steve Claridge had the nerve to question Sven's credentials as a potential promotion-winning manager. Some folk find it hard to handle the truth. Like I said, I have never been an admirer of Sven. I didn't approve of his England appointment & thought he was tactically found out when we went out against the 10 men of Brazil in the World Cup. The FA went over the top to keep him as England Manager......Why?? Because we beat Germany 5-1......a game we were lucky not to be 3-0 down after 10 minutes. I guess I am in agreement with you(?) & Claridge, but he's here now, he's not the worst manager we've ever had & I don't know what the alternative is? I don't think it was right to drop Mills, but we will only know if Sven made the right decision on Mill's return to the team. I hope to be proven wrong!! Claridge can talk a load of bollocks & I couldn't care less what he thinks, but whilst he was wearing a Leicester shirt......he had my full support. I wasn't looking for a role model - just someone to stick the ball in the net

DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 18 August 2011 Posted 18 August 2011 While as a Saints fan I'm delighted at the current league table somw of your fans really need to take a deep breath here. You're doing the same thing we did the season before last and rebuilding an entire team basically from scratch with a new manager and some expensive new players. We also had the (expected) bad start as none of the players have any semblance of understanding with each other yet. We went on to finish the season very strongly and without our points deduction and crap start would have run away with the league. If you didn't expect a bad start with all the new personel, frankly you guys were being a bit delusional. I fully expect you to start hitting your stride soon and demolishing teams but just relax for the moment and watch the team start to improve. Well said, and how very true. Common sense indeed. It is all the more sad, because so many of our so called fans, are too blind, even to see through a sheet of glass, let alone understand what you have said. Excellent post, thank you.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 18 August 2011 Posted 18 August 2011 All we can do is try & remain positive. I am as unhappy as anybody with the current standard of football & things may well get worse before they better.......but I am confident it will get better. A lot of comparisons can be made between us & Southampton. We have both hit rock bottom in recent times & we should both consider ourselves fortunate to be in the position we are now in. I would have bitten your hand off to be where we are now, when the referee blew the final whistle against Stoke sending us into Div.1......not so long ago. I cannot say that I have ever been an admirer of Sven, but we could do a lot worse & we have done a lot worse!!!! We all have our opinion & we may not always agree with his decisions, but it is what it is & we will just have to accept that. There is no point spitting your dummy out when all that the players & the staff want is our support. This is Leicester City......there will always be the inevitable ups & downs.......the highs & the lows.......the ecstasy & the agony.........it's why we love them. I would take what we have over anything Man Utd could offer..........who wants a rollercoaster ride that meanders down a straight track, no ups, no downs, no loop-the-loops.......season after season??? Boring!!!! Top & co may well be here for different reasons to us, but we all want what's best for Leicester. They have put their money where their mouth is & long may it continue. Sven is also doing what he believes is right.....bless him!! It would be utter madness to think we would be playing slick football, scoring goals with ease & winning every match with such a different squad of players. I can't say that I knew too much about some of the players we have acquired, but they weren't brought into the squad on a whim & all purchases will have to be justified. One or two might not come up to scratch, but a few of them may well turn out to be absolute belters.....given the chance to flourish. I'm sure Sven didn't want to pay £5m for Mills & I don't think Mills is comfortable with that price tag either. It's no good shooting him down before he's even had a chance to prove himself. He is unsettled, the whole team is unsettled & so are we. I would never have a negative word said about MON & his players.......all legends!!! Whilst not all of them were necessarily blessed with the greatest of skill, I have always said that we were as good as we were because of consistency. Not all MON's purchases were a success & it took him a little time to establish who his best team was. Those days may well turn out to be best memories I will ever have of Leicester City, but I always did appreciate our relative glory. It is some people's natural instinct to have a fit when they don't get what they want & I could barely believe there were still people around to boo a team punching well above their weight. Some people will always have expectations that are far too high. Playing as a team & consistency only come with time & we will have to give Sven & his players time........more than 3 games anyway!! I am thoroughly depressed following last nights game, but I've been here many times before & I'm sure it will not be the last. It is a nervous period for all concerned. Top will be concerned, Sven can hear the knives sharpening & the fans are clearly worried about our current situation. I don't see how booing, fighting amongst ourselves & throwing a tantrum is going to make matters any better?? It was never going to be an easy ride.......you must have realised that by now??? If you can't handle the pressure of being a Leicester supporter........there's always Man Utd. No?? I didn't think so!!! A superb post sir, do come again!

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Alan Pardew spend all the money on these signings. And wasn't it after he was sacked and repaced by Adkins that your fortunes changed. And if so, what relevance has this to whether Sven should go or stay? Don't mean to sound aggressive but just asking a serious question!
