Honestly, I just think it has to be anyone else. Much like when we got rid of Ranieri. The current attitude would’ve seen us get relegated in 2017. ...my post was not alluding to that!!! Just that the "tell me who would be better argument" holds little water, as both parties are not aware of the individual, and therefore no reasoned discussion can take place.

I won't dispute that, but what worked for them won't work for us. I'm not a Dyche fan though so I am biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingkisnorbo Posted 16 January 2023 Share Posted 16 January 2023 I’d also be interested to hear those that have said previously “I trust the owners to make the right decision, despite me not thinking it’s the right one”. Do you still hold this preposterous view? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryDee8 Posted 16 January 2023 Share Posted 16 January 2023 Just read Garth Crooks team of the week selection. He says: Leicester have completely lost their confidence. Can't disagree with that. Plus we really are missing Madison. Can't believe how much in fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howlinmadmurfdoc Posted 16 January 2023 Share Posted 16 January 2023 Maybe time has made me forget just how bad things were, but right now Brendan reminds me of Peter Taylor. The old heads are past their best, the young lads try hard but probably aren’t good enough and he’s made an absolute cock up of any signings he’s made. And tactically he can’t find his way out of it. I can’t see where a goal is coming from let alone a point. Seasons over unless he goes and we get somebody in that can light a fire under these players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are 16 days into a 31 day window, in a run of horrid form for the second time this season and the threat of relegation is very real. Yet they still haven't dipped their hands in their pockets. We won't be buying anyone and we won't be sacking the manager. This whole keeping the faith argument if a smokescreen to hide how skint we are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterpool Posted 16 January 2023 Share Posted 16 January 2023 If Brendan came on bbc RL to answer some questions and gave honest answer would that be enough to get fans support. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancognito Posted 16 January 2023 Share Posted 16 January 2023 Anyone expecting him to be sacked is deluding themselves. He wasn't sacked after that abysmal start to the season, that followed an abysmal end to last season. We're still in a cup, not (yet) in the bottom 3 and still halfway to go in the league so there's plenty of weeks for the board to keep their heads down.

Brendan doesn't run the club though. The back him or sack him strategy comes from above him. The reality is, he isn't wrong when he says he can only work with what he has got. Of course, its also up to the board to determine is Brendan is doing the best with what he has. If what we are hearing is true, and they are indeed going to back him, then we must be seeing significant spend coming in very soon. Cheaper options that take a year to bed in aren't going to cut it.

That one time at Middlesbrough yeah. But the two seasons of no money, players taking pay cuts, some had stayed following relegation to help us back up. Wouldn't happen now. This set off players don't look bothered every game and, for two seasons running, can't even get up for Forest away.

Although I was 7/8 years old in 2002, I only have fond memories of that team. Was it Summerbee or Mckinlay who played for almost nothing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy McKinlay was excellent during his period here. He wasn't the fastest but very good with the ball. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prem season after we got promoted with Summerbee and McKinlay there was a stat that was something like we’d have finished 5th if games were 80 minutes. The team was pretty poor that season but at least they looked like they cared. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
