There are many positives about his tenure as manager, sadly results and consistency weren’t one of them.

 

He has had to deal with a lot in his time here and he has carried himself professionally and with dignity. I think he was doomed to fail from the start. His style and personality were not a good fit, for us or the premier league. What he has done is laid the foundation for the next manager with a young squad that has been working on the technical side of the game and improving as footballers, if the right manager can come in and fire them up and get the tactics right that play to our strengths without regressing to “Vardyball” they will reap what Puel sowed, sadly I don’t think Puel would ever have got the benefits of his work as after 16 months he was still making the same mistakes.

 

Thank you Claude, it was never personal, but you were the wrong fit for the club.

I don’t agree with all of these sentiments, but with many of them. Admirable and well-worded post.

The Chairman and board have taken this decision because they could see like the majority of 30K others that we were only going one way  -  downwards. As for his style of football Puel should be playing to his squad's strengths not trying to force them to play a way just to suit his idealogy.

Ah, That's where Alf Ramsey went wrong.

Claudio, Craig, Claude, Chris?

 

Were Leicester City really cruel,
To sack their manager, Claude Puel?
The sad truth is that, in order to dual,
Our players' engines needed more fuel.

 

With not much in, we lost to Palace,
City performing like one limp ph*ll*s.
(I hope that that doesn't sound too callous.)
The man coming soon will surely rally us!

 

Onwards and upwards will be the cry,
With negative thoughts fully gone by.
Going up the league, 'til up on high,
And Forest fans heaving a big sigh!

 

We love to challenge at Leicester City.
So managers get sacked, more's the pity,
But when it comes to the true nitty-gritty,
We can't accept anyone who's at all bitty.

 

Only the very best fellow will do,
To stop the chance of many a boo.
Pep's got quality through and through,
But if he won't come, then exactly who?

 

Another from Spain, Rafa by name,
Is one the of men that's in the frame.
He got the knack to change a game,
And take the wrap if he's to blame.

 

If we want a new name starting with 'C',
Hughton's the man, it's got to be.
Whoever Top chooses, they won't come free.
So Howe about Eddie? He'll do for me.

 

'Up the Blues' is often the shout,
We all know what the game is about.
Players are tiles to the manager's grout,
So let's try to beat them all with a rout!

Correct - if you discount the title win with Monaco

Winning the World Cup is the pinnacle, whatever happens after that pales into insignificance. Winning the French League with all due respects is way down the list of achievements by comparison.

You said he had won “diddly squat”

 

You are wrong

You were comparing him to Ramsey a World cup winning manager and in the grand scheme of things winning the French title by comparison is nothing.

No I wasn’t lol 

 

Why don’t you go back and reread what was posted

 

You said Puel had one “diddly squat”

 

I referenced his ligue one win with Monaco

 

You then basically said well that’s tinpot compared to the World Cup which I’m not disputing

 

Please feel free though to quote my post which supposedly proves your assertion

Merci, Claude.

Merci pour avoir supporté les jeunes footballeurs dans notre équipe.

Merci pour ton comportement délicat durant la crise après l'accident hélicoptère l'automne passé.

 

Mais ça, c'est tout.

 

Bonne chance de retour en France.

Claude est parti

Jacky est parti

Vardy's having a parti!

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

Can’t agree with this at all. He joined and most of us wanted to give him a go.

We WERE sliding down the table you know?

I think he was a decent man, who just failed to engage the fans or the players, it's almost like the dice was loaded against him from the start.

 

He tried to change the style of the team and bring through a lot of youngsters.

 

It was never very pretty and unfortunately we progressed from a team who would win ugly into a team who played some good stuff but were just too easy to beat.

That has to be the joke of the day. 

 

His sacking was justified, but to say that he was backed by most of the fans from the beginning is just ludicrous.
