LTID Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 Let me say right from the beginning that I'm as disappointed as everyone that Sven has gone. The decision was ill-judged and premature but, we have to see the bigger picture. Clearly the owners are incredibly ambitious as evidenced by the money they've spent and the ruthless way they've acted over Sven. They're determined to get us into the Premiership and establish us there. It might not be pretty but, surely that's what we all want. Imagine being a Coventry fan and having to settle for years of mediocrity with no ambition, just a slow lingering decline. We need to get behind the owners and whoever they appoint (apart from Steve McClaren) because, in the end, we all want the same thing.
broughtonblue Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 Agree with all this apart from 'except Steve mcclaren' really don't want 'match fixing' Brian robson either, Hughes for me
FoxesAreBlue Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 Now that the dust is beginning to settle I have to agree with you - I was pretty pissed off about the whole affair 24 hours ago, but it's too late now. I do feel for Sven, but it's time to get back on the roller-coaster that is Leicester City
blueredswed Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 Let mee say this! Sven would have stay until christmas. If we do´nt were up top 6 then sack him ! If we were let him stay but money makes the world go around as ABBA say and that is what this is about how much can we catch in...(now I´m dissapointed on myself) but it is true Still thinks Leicester will bee in top 6 but not sure... :scarf:
Fox92 Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 I will always support the club, and the owners with their decisions, and I will back the next manager whoever it may be.
blueredswed Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 This is exactly my thought! Thanks Dabizas :scarf: I always try too thanks when I seeing someone agreeing with mee and also those other moaners (if I have time) : ) :scarf:
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 I will always support the club, and the owners with their decisions, and I will back the next manager whoever it may be. LEICESTER TILL I DIE
Dan Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 I have simply no idea where the hell all the people who were calling him out have gone. Well, I'm here, I was one of them. He clearly wasn't the man for LCFC. It's a shame, as he is a genuinely nice person, but nice doesn't work and it's clear he was out of his depth. "Sven is a cracking manager" - a line often used about it. Exactly what about his tenure here was "cracking", it's so true that Holloway, Sousa, Megson etc... any of them produce this season with that kind of backing, our fans would be calling for the head of. Sven didn't know his best system or team. In-fact, what bad can sacking him do? A new man would probably start off the same as Sven. My point is - Sven, you'd be convinced in most games this season that it was his first game, that's just how clueless he was about many things it seemed to me. Whilst I've not enjoyed his sacking, I don't think people can really complain too much, the man was not leading this club to the Premier League, as simple as that. Thanks for the efforts Sven, and thanks even more for your grace in the sacking, but ultimately, you failed, and can have no complaints at being given the boot. On we move.
Tommeh Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 The owners have this decision to get it right for me, they got Pearson shafted - wrong. They appointed and ultimately arse ended Sousa - both wrong and now have sacked off one of the best footballs had in the past 20 years. Money and a jack off friendly over Real Madrid can only get you so much support. Honestly think the international break was Svens downfall, combined with a bit of bad luck official wise and individual errors at Birmingham. we had it cracked against Derby, a Tuesday/Saturday combo and 2 wins and we'd have been in the top 2. His only huge fault for me was the 'plan B' criticism, There is not one club in this league and even some in the premier league that would not want a Steve Howard and/or Lloyd Dyer on the bench to mix things up in the final half hour of any game. And of course the reduction to 5 subs from 7 has done of squad like ours up the wrong 'un also.
Corky Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 Tommeh's right, the next appointment is massive for the owners. I don't agree with the decision to sack Sven without someone lined up, but I'll see who they go for and then see how we perform under the new regime. The owners have done a lot of good for the club (training ground, providing for the manager) but the next move is huge.
dannythefox Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 The owners have my full backing why wait till christmas when we would probably be further behind good decision at this stage of the season! Foxes Never Quit! Up The Blues!
LTID Posted 25 October 2011 Author Posted 25 October 2011 Who ever it is if the next manager's successful great, if not they'll sack him. This sort of proves that if they stay in charge, one way or another we'll be in the Premiership in the next couple of years.

And of course the reduction to 5 subs from 7 has done of squad like ours up the wrong 'un also. Someone made the point about Pearson and at first I thought "eh?!" but I guess we'll never know if it was down to them. Thing is, did we have it crack? This month has just been last season all over again sadly. One fantastic win where the individuals just happen to click, followed by a poor display at Birmingham, followed by another poor display which was good enough against Watford, followed by an absolutely embarrassing display against Millwall in which we look as un "clicked" as possible, no team display, nothing. To be honest I do think we've had a lot go against us but ultimately the 4 defeats no one can complain with and you can even argue some games like Southampton and Barnsley we got lucky in. Basically, my point is - if we did "click" against Derby, we wouldn't have produced that against Millwall. That's the kind of inconsistency we've had ever since he took the reigns. Who knows, though. I think the owners have a massive decision here. To me it's absolutely obvious they'll offer it to MON, but whether he takes it is another story.
flowwolf Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 Yes I will support the owners over Sven any day. He was never going to lead us to the promise land he was a spent force long before he came here. I hope the owners learn from this and do not go for another silly high profile has been like Erickson. You can't blame them for losing patience with Sven He had his chance and was backed to the hilt financially then blew it big time with piss poor performances that any idiot could see was not going to get any better just like Souza . The good thing is who ever it is will not have a hard act to follow as nothing could be worse than that display last Saturday. The fact that they have sacked this old carpetbagger before he could do any more damage shows they mean business and that can only be good for us.

That's where I felt the international break came at a poor time, we've yet to get back to back wins all season, a game after the Derby one could have been the platform and we'd have pushed on, we'll never know now though. Still feel we're back at square 1 now though and if the new man doesn't get us up this season, he'll be gone in the summer and it'll start all over again before the Thais get bored and jump. Next appointment so so crucial.
boring_jester Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 Maybe off topic but when we get a new manager do you think he will spend another 12 million in the next transfer window?
He's not bald Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 Maybe off topic but when we get a new manager do you think he will spend another 12 million in the next transfer window? No, I didn't rate Sven and made no secret of it however, he's brought some talented players here and if the new man can get them playing as a team there is no reason we would have to spend another penny!

Next appointment so so crucial. Fair comments. It's still not much of an excuse though because even at the Watford/Millwall games we had no evident system that the players clicked in. Yes we were without Mills but I still think by now we should have established our best team/system, the fact we haven't is unforgivable. I agree about the next appointment. Like I say if any manager is going to boost our revenue it's MON, purely due to ticket sales. He'll be a popular choice with the fans, the Thais would see him as ideal, so I'm certain they'll offer it him. No idea if he'll take it though.
Cubbyben Posted 26 October 2011 Posted 26 October 2011 I have simply no idea where the hell all the people who were calling him out have gone. Well, I'm here, I was one of them. He clearly wasn't the man for LCFC. It's a shame, as he is a genuinely nice person, but nice doesn't work and it's clear he was out of his depth. I'm also one of them, forget the start of this season he has taken 35 points from the last 81 available. I think we need to understand that our ambitions for the club sit side by side with the owners. We are desperate for the club to do well, they have a clear vision of making the club a global business. The 2 go hand in hand. They can't get what they want without giving us what we want. I'm confident they will get it right. Also seen a lot of Manderic comparisons, total rubbish - these people operate in a different Universe than old Mandy.

Guest Posted 26 October 2011 Posted 26 October 2011 The owners are fools who don't understand English Football and expect immediate results. I thank them for putting in money but with this attitude we are doomed anyway. Let the people who understand football run the football side of the club please.

NeilyBoy Posted 26 October 2011 Posted 26 October 2011 I support the club rather than the owners and have no doubts that they made the wrong call. Whoever they bring in will stand a very good chance of landing in the top 6 on the merit of Sven's purchases. I've been chewing my nails down on our inconsistent form, but the maths of the situation by no means says that we're in a crisis. It's been a turbulent start to the season for most teams, with 12 teams all within 6 pts of 6th. Welcome to the Championship. Not that I dislike Top & co - they've endeared themselves to me, I'm just doubting their wisdom.

What exactly have the owners done wrong?
Guest Posted 26 October 2011 Posted 26 October 2011 Are you serious?...... What exactly have the owners done wrong? They've sacked a good manager who was able to attract good players and once in the Prem would have been able to attract elite players. They've sacked a good manager without giving him enough time for his work to show dividends (epsecially considering the injuries to Nugent and Beckford this season) They've sacked a good manager before having an even better manager ready to take over. They are naive and have shown bad faith. It's probably due to hearing supporters like you saying we need to get rid of Sven but whatever the reason it's far too early. they don't understand football and certainly not the championship. "giggle" all you want at a person who has a different view to you MarbellaDave. We probably have little in common.
