Who Would You Appoint?

Maybe it was a mistake but you still expect to be playing good football and winning games maybe not convincingly but comfortably. Just coz QPR did it doesnt mean you can do it

 

I know what you're saying, but most of the entire squad are new at Leicester. Only King and Welllen of the first team and Howard, Dyer, Gallagher and Vassell (just) who get anywhere near the bench were at the club in 2010. It's a massive overall, but despite this, some fans are amazed that that we aren't running away with the league. I even heard one muppet say we should have won at least 10 out of the first 12! It's unrealistic.

 

Some people are unrealistic but not everyone who thought he wasn't good enough thought like that. I expected to see some kind of promise and value for the money we'd spent, not to moonwalk our way to promotion by October.

I actually think he did ok in the transfer market but the team wasn't played to it's strengths. I think if we still had him now we'd just be delaying the inevitable. He wasn't appointed for his managerial qualities or knowledge of this league and that's the way it looked after 13 games of this season. I think if it wasn't for his admittedly impressive record around Europe and the fact that he's a nice guy, far more people would have been OK with his sacking.

 

I genuinely believe sacking him was a good idea. Why wait until its too late to put a challenge in for promotion when you can sack him now and still have a comfortable chance of getting promoted

 

So beating Derby 4-0, and beating Southampton and Brighton when they were top, didn't show promise? We'll never know now if sacking him was "inevitable", but we do know that this club is becoming infamous for it's impatience, something that will turn off some prospective managers. His knowledge of this league may not have been great, but I assumed that we were thinking beyond this when we got Sven. Otherwise, why get rid of Pearson in the first place who DOES know this league?

And, trust me, my opinion is not influenced by Sven's record or him being "a nice guy", but more by the fact that I expected us to start slowly and build. Throwing us into turmoil mid-season like this is a disaster. Now we can just sit back and watch all the good candidates rule themselves out until we eventually end up with Billy Davies. Then play-offs at best.

 

Great question, why indeed. It seems their mindset has changed now, a bit late but early enough at the same time, hopefully.

Derby was impressive but was not a performance we repeated, Brighton was a good display but they've just come up from league one and have just gone about 7 games without winning, now sitting midtable, we were outplayed by Southampton due to negative tactics so no I wouldn't say that game showed promise at all, and once again they just came up from league one. How is it that Southampton have a side so much better than ours? Anyway, it was the 6 or 7 poor performances that led to me believe we had no chance, as I've explained at length a number of times on here.

We were getting play-offs at best under Sven IMO, Davies worked wonders with Derby and Forest who struggled before he took over, and both struggled after.

Sven's gone now so it's perhaps pointless endlessly debating about him, what I would say is that I was happy for him to go IF we had a good replaement lined up. We'll see next week and in the coming months whether it was rash or calculated to let him go.

 

Latest news has Phil brown as fav.

 

God no

 

Favourite for what though ? Main character in a Jimmy Bullard sit-com ?

 

LOL!

 

Why is this crud on our board? We don`t give a baboons left gonad about you festers,so goodbye

 

You're wasting your time. According to them, caring how crap they are doing for amusement and caring who they appoint as manager are the same thing. They're not, I care about the first, not the second, but they continue to go on with their deluded ramblings.

I don't know if it's amusing or saddening when they continue to try argue that they are better than every other team in the league.

 

I think this has passed it's sell by date
