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. Dyche to “steady ourselves”? This is the same manager that would have got relegated last season if he’d have stayed at Burnley. Unbelievable. What are peoples obsession with him. Pochettino, a manager of a club we still sing about for bottling. At least Rodgers won us a trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he ever been asked to elaborate on answers? Has ever been asked tough questions? Free ride always the way from the media regards him.

We are more ambitious than that. Our strategy isn't to be completing with the mega rich, its to disrupt the top six and compete for Europe. We don't do this by pretending to be Man City but we also don't do this pretending to be Burnley either. Just because he managed Burnley doesn't mean he will treat us like Burnley. He's not stupid. If he did come here he would know he would have to at least finish top half and that ambitions and facilities here are very different to Burnley. He kept them up year on year with no budget, he got them promoted twice aswell, extremely underrated. He wouldn't take any shit and he surely can't be any worse than the dross we've served up for over a year now. I would rather have Frank, Potter or Pochettino but realistically he might be the best easiest option. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above describes me. By that point, I've already got plans booked in unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a new face, set of ideas can make a big difference. And don’t forget, Dyche has always had sod all resources to work with. Not that he’d have any more here at the moment!

We had more passing accuracy than them, but the crossing accuracy is really bad, 40% for saints, 14% for us. We tried to walk the ball into the goal yet they had double shooting accuracy. Of course as well all already know our shows and especially shots on target are abysmal under Rodgers per minute of possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree something needs to change but Dyche is not the option. Only our fans can suggest a manager that has been relegated once and would have again before he got sacked. He will play as defensive and boring as we do now. Which is why some Burnley fans were fed up with him. We’re supposed to be a club going places and people want Dyche ffs.

st albans fox Posted 22 August 2022 Share Posted 22 August 2022 Btw, it’s v unusual for a manager to be sacked before the end of September so the ‘next manager to be sacked’ market could be stuffed for quite a while if we drag our feet on this …….

Popular Post Leicester_Loyal Posted 22 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 22 August 2022 Why didn't we sack him in the summer? An absolutely baffling decision. Never ever give a manager a 5 year contract again, 4 should be the limit. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban fox Posted 22 August 2022 Share Posted 22 August 2022 When Puel was sacked it was obvious that Rodgers had been lined up for a while. Think it was supposed to happen at the end of the season, but the clubs hand was forced into acting earlier by the players obvious dislike for Puel. doubt very much if we would have a replacement in the pipeline at this time or it would have been done before the season started surely. If he goes, could be a long search for a successor unless Dyche is brought in, which is something that I do not think would sit well with the fans. my choice would be for Pochetino if he fancied it here, which is not unthinkable as we pay well and still have enough to challenge top half.

blueharmie Posted 22 August 2022 Share Posted 22 August 2022 Rodgers is done here. This whole defensive shambles is a shocker. We can't defend ,it's been happening for years and getting worse. There is no need to keep him here, we look like a relegation team. Freshen it up and get him out! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Spurs team played good football on the whole I would say he’s on par with Rodgers maybe not a step up but for us a good enough manager, and would improve us in the short term.

ARM1968 Posted 22 August 2022 Share Posted 22 August 2022 Poch is a good manager but I see issues similar to Rodgers in that his teams can be quite brittle and crack under pressure. We wouldn’t get him anyway - no chance at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
