Don’t get me wrong he was a brilliant manager for us but there is no way he’d make us top six he just isn’t tactically estute enough . To me it would just be a huge lack of ambition because with Pearson back we would basically be excepting we are a mid to lower table team . I think some people also have very short memories as some of the football was awefull at times and decision making baffling add to this having no plan b what so ever . No matter whoever comes here, Leicester will be struggling for a PL place next season, after all the wreck done to the club. Don't be surprised if they turn to Pearson as a last resort to save us from relegation at some stage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the case then that’s the case but that’s a completely different circumstance that’s stopping the club getting relegated and using him as a last resort not getting him in as first choice to try and push for top six which the owners have already publicly stated is where they want to be .

If I remember correctly, you didn’t fancy Shakey full time towards the end of last season did you? (I didn’t either) I wasn't sure about him but thought he deserved a shot to be fair, still think he was a tad hard done by when you look at who we payed during his games.

Babylon Posted 28 April 2018 Share Posted 28 April 2018 36 minutes ago, The Wizard said: Nahh.. he'd just get thrown under the bus as soon as he started making changes... He seemed to play a counter attacking style at Hull. Think he might actually manage to blend the counter attacking football that people like, with a bit more passing to appease those who think we should adapt our style from just that. I've been saying Dyche for what seems about 5 years now, keeps proving himself. But his style this season hasn't particularly endeared him to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City1884 Posted 28 April 2018 Share Posted 28 April 2018 Personally, I’d take Allardyce as our new manager, but I know lots of others that wouldn’t. Dyche won’t move now, not with a shot at Europe with Burnley. Rafa won’t come, his stock is Sky high at Newcastle, enough to have Ashley and the fans eating out of his hand. Wagner could be worth a shout, he may feel that keeping Huddersfield up is the most he can get out of the club. Realistically, I’d also take Silva or Jokanovic (assuming Fulham don’t go up, and we could convince him). I’d also be part of the Pearson in brigade, but I don’t think that will happen for a third time. Unfortunately, the negative side of me looks at people like Pardew, Bilic, Rowett, de boer, and says that those names will come to the fore.....

The current shite football isn't even as bad as the last few months under Ranieri. The Ranieri chant got an airing twice today. Both times we conceded literally seconds afterwards. Same thing happened at Liverpool last season. I reckon the players still have PTSD from his reign. If he comes back we'll lose about 10-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I share your concerns for the next season and am massively worried about Maguire and Ndidi if we don't get the manager transition right. But getting Allardyce is just shifting the problem to the next season and if people thought Puel's football was boring, they'll be in for a treat with Fat Sam.
