No new manager

[AKCJ]

Am I the only one who still thinks we'll beat Lester?

Depends.

If you get a new manager and make some signings then we'll definitely beat you.

If you don't get a manager and maybe lose one or two players without replacing them then you'll definitely beat us.


It's the Leicester way.

would i be harsh and say Gary Speed did a lot of the hardwork for Coleman? Either way Coleman hasn't done much previously to the Euro's but in reality in our position are we likely to get a decent proven manager? i dont think we are

I think I'd prefer Coleman. He came across well when interviewed at the Euro's and the players really wanted to play well for him, that was the key for me.

Anything can happen in a one off game, my annoyance under Bruce is it felt like players had little belief we could anything from the on paper tougher games. If other teams think we are a pushover and play like that that gives us more of a chance. The main thing is to be tight and keep some possession of the ball, and certainly not to concede an early goal which seemed to always happen before.

Even in the last game he went past 4 players or so and then hit a really tame shot. We do need people who are positive going forward though which he could be, but that could be as much about our tactics in recent times as anything else.

When he hit the post?

I think that's my whole point. We'd be doing well to get Martinez especially given our present mess.

Current circumstances tell me we need a manager who is good at motivating an average team in a very good league. Right now our priority has to stay in the premier league,anything else is pie in the sky Imo because as we have seen before,the Prem has three mini leagues in it and we are in that bottom slot right now.

The way it stands our team will be a mix of first team players and U21s.

We'll be lucky to keep the score respectable.

Really? Gary Speed died nearly 5 years ago.

I don't think so, from what I remember. Not that hitting the post gets you goals normally anyway.

Sort of what I think. Not because it's the Leicester way, but these sort of things always seem to happen.

And even if we don't concede an early goal we concede a later goal.
Teams who break with speed seem to do better.

Does it get you half a goal?
What about if you hit the inside of the post and the ball then goes in the goal?

No, that's hitting the net. It's just been an annoyance of mine for over 30 years when people say they are unlucky for hitting the bar or post.

Step forward .... Who? Why would they come to us if they are as good as that?

Not if it's kicked away just after it went over the line.
Or the goalkeeper makes a brilliant save. Players are never unlucky - they either score and are heroes or are missers.

Hard to disagree mate,maybe someone who is not afraid of failure on his CV,possibly someone who is still hungry but languishing in the lower leagues? The problem we have is this current lot of owners are so blinkered and naive in football terms they won't look further than a well known name no matter how much of a failure they may have been elsewhere.

You can frustrate teams if they don't score quickly.

Also it was a powderpuff shot from Diame right at the goalkeeper when he went past those players v Forest.

How does it go..................'well Ehab I've done quite well as a manager, I've only been sacked in three of my last four roles'.....well done Gianfranco, the jobs yours if you accept you have no money for transfers and might lose your job at the drop of a hat if we sell up; or you might just lose it at the drop of a hat even if we don't'......were do I sign Ehab?

Too soon.

Can't we keep this in the manager thread? The boards pretty active as it is.

I think a little light hearted fun should be seperate from the tedium of the manager thread!
