Thank you Claude

[LinekersLugs]

It didn’t work out for you here Mr. Puel and it’s correct that in a results business you must be sacked. 

 

you tinkered too much at times , your style of football would

possibly bare fruits in time but in this league time is too precious 

 

I personally want to thank you for your efforts and your dignity when we lost Khun  Vichai , you led us through a dark dark period In our clubs history 

 

I hope my fellow supporters can follow with dignity and wish you well 

 

Au Revoir Claude

Unlucky Claude, did some good transfer business but as above poster says it's a results game 

[HighPeakFox]

I wish him well. I truly hope the club finds the right manager now.

[Fox92]

He should be respected for how he led a group of players through that, yes.

 

Bought in some decent players for us.

 

But it's a results business and we haven't been good enough.

It was never going to work out, was it?

 

Regardless, thank you for your efforts, for making some decent progress in developing the squad and for promoting youth. And thank you for your stewardship during that extremely traumatic few weeks last year. 

 

Good luck for the future. 

[Corky]

No bitterness from me, he tried and didn't achieve what we wanted. Think too much of the criticism has been personal and hopefully we can all move on.

 

Such a shame we couldn't keep up the impressive first eight games of his spell. But the right decision has been made.

[elvisfmcfly]

Terrible manager good riddance 

[EnglishOxide]

He has done a good job, guiding us through the Vichai thing and developing our young players. He has set a foundation at least.

[Larry_LCFC]

Don't dislike the guy. He had a vision but Leicester wasn't the team for that to become a reality. 

 

[RumbleFox]

Thanks and good luck for the future.  Feel like, despite the league position, you have left us in a much better place overall than when you came.  Good signings, promising youngsters and some older players moved on.  Still feel the future is bright but we really need to bring someone in who has a similar vision for youth.  X

[Tielemans63]

I'm sure he'll get a job in France and do really well. 

 

Bon chance Claude!

[DennisNedry]

All I can give him is he's improved the squad.

 

Can't really say anything else positive to be honest. Certainly won't miss him at all.

[Buzzell]

All the best to him. He tried to change the squad, get us playing a different style of play but it never worked.

[CollinsLCFC]

He came, he tried and he didn't succeed. 

 

He was with us through one of our most difficult times and for that he has my upmost respect. 

 

His task was difficult; to implement a transition of counter attacking, ageing, premier league winning squad into a young, upcoming possession based team, whilst maintaining fans expectations. 

 

Unfortunately, it didn't work out. He lost the majority of the fan base early on, and it appears he may of lost his players. 

 

He has provided a new foundation for us to build on and I hope one day in the near future we will realise that his managerial career with us wasn't just a waste of 16 months.

Missed a trick and should've taken the advice of a better manager

[AKCJ]

Abysmal manager, good bloke.

[foxfanazer]

Thanks Claude. Led us through some dark times and felt you had a difficult job. Most fans didn't take to him from day one. 

[Guest Col city fan]

No hypocrisy from me. Apart from his dignified leadership when Vichai died, which was immense, he’s done not much at all for the playing side of things imo. 

A lot of our players have gone backwards and I can’t abide his press conferences.

I’m a City fan, not a Puel fan, and I’m glad he’s gone.

[kristianity77]

You know what he is doing but for that to work in this country he needs to take charge of team in the championship where there is slightly less pressure to achieve and he might be given more time to do what he wants.  

[Freeman's Wharfer]

Never cared about any kind of connection with the fans. Played so overly defensive and cautious that we became utterly dull to watch. Couldn’t get the best out of talisman. Rigidly stuck to things that weren’t working (even when there was nothing to lose in games or when we had a man advantage).

 

I thank him for nothing and i’m delighted to see the back of him. Onto the next one...

[Otis]

Shame, never given a chance by some fans from the start. 

[cropstonfox]

About 9 months to late.He would have taken us down next season if not this!

Clueless .Played too many  at once

Should have signed or played more experienced players. DId not embrace

Our best player.

Had a massive job in transitioning the club with the old brigade and bringing in some younger talent. If you look at the backbone of the team now he's bought in some decent young players but it's the results in afraid. Some of the players have let him down and some are just crap..good try though 

[Kopic]

Almost as devastated as when Benalouane left.
