Chrysalis Posted 22 August 2022 Share Posted 22 August 2022 11 hours ago, Chocolate Teapot said: Because you need a replacement lined up. You also need to attract a good manager. Serious question - who currently takes the job when we sack a manager who's taken us to Europe twice and won an fa cup with a dwindling squad and no money to spend? If the club are smart they'll be able to attract someone decent. If they act now you're in danger of making things worse. Problem in attracting a manager its hard when you leave it too late in a relegation fight season. After game 3 you can argue the season is still to play for. After game 20 when you 14 points adrift its a bit more difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe a lot of people have gone away before the schools go back. My daughters swimming class and gymnastics was quieter than normal this weekend. Wouldnt read too much into that. The tickets never went on general sale.... That's probably why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish he’d go now though it’s going to be poison down at the KP till it happens. I get the feeling at this point results mean nothing and the relationship is too far gone to salvage anything between the club and the manager. I think it's a case of who blinks first, either he walks and forfeits the money, or we stump up and send him on his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the same thinking behind the push for digital ticketing. It’s short-sighted and counterproductive, of course, but such is our football club at this moment in time.

Let’s be honest his antics have been disgraceful and Top won’t stand for it never mind also the results as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn’t, but unlike the Brentford game they went on sale to people who had history of purchasing a ticket which probably means any Leicester fan that wanted a ticket could’ve bought one.

hejammy Posted 22 August 2022 Share Posted 22 August 2022 The problem we have is that we have 2 potential targets.... 1. Dyche - potentially a good short term answer - proven to do a lot with very little money (our situation now) steady ourselves and then go for a longer term option 2. Pochettino - does well with money and a very high level manager. - but issue here is - why would he join Leicester with no real money? Regardless of this like others have said - very crappy time to let go of a manager with the window so close to being shut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. James Posted 22 August 2022 Share Posted 22 August 2022 I agree with most of the comments here and I've been advocating this charlatans removal for months but better be very aware people that he is still gonna be our manager next week, next month and possibly next year. I cant see anything changing until at least November - when we will be in the brown stuff properly - so better buckle up or banner up and show the board and the sycophantic media how the coffee really smells. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To continue with our current manager would be a disaster though, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
