    So Stoke win 2-0 after changing their manager. But some people keep saying that it won't work!?

    I didn’t want Puel sacked but Leicester’s squad is far better suited to his style. He wasn’t a good fit from the start really and needed a few windows to sign the players to make us into a counter attacking team to suit his style. He set us up to our strengths which meant being very defensive, but yielded some decent results

    Well...despite inevitably dropping into the relegation zone, today could have gone a lot worse.

    I'm starting to think that Gareth Rogers was the brains of the operation before...

    Still an incredibly stupid decision to sack him and replace him with a novice though.

    Well it hardly went well did it. Stoke won, wba, West Ham and bmouth all picking up points.
    Spurs will beat us tomorrow , I'd say it was a pretty bad day all in all.

    No regret from me, I warned that it might bite us in the arse at the time.

    I don’t think it was THAT stupid to sack him, the big mistake was who they replaced him with. Sounds like the board actually thought we could get Tuchel as well

    Les Reed thought he would be clever and try to "discover" the next Pochettino, he will have the relegation of our club on his hands, personally.

    Ok a Stoke draw would have been better. But at least it was Huddersfield who they beat. Maybe a West Ham win would have been better but a draw isn’t bad in that game against Bournemouth. The more teams involved the better. Ideally, Everton would have beaten West Brom, but West Brom were leading at one point so, could have gone a lot worse.

    You are taking my comments WAY too personally. You can't deny that it is ridiculous for us to be in the position we are now, when Leicester are in a very comfortable 7th place.

    Is this the 1st time we’ve been in bottom 3 since returning? I can’t recall whether we were there during the 1st year back & early months with NA?

    I think we were in the relegation zone for the first month or two IIRC.
