I’ve heard Benitez wants the job and he’s been in the area. Also seems the logical fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality he should've gone 2 years ago but then to have the season we have and to only sack him now (after a 2 week International break) is nothing short of negligence Some people are never happy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be scrambling around now trying to figure out our next steps is really not ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Finn Claw II Posted 2 April 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 2 April 2023 Him not been given funds to invest is such weak reporting. no one talks of the piles of uttter dross he’s signed. He’ll probably get another PL job but can’t see any big club go in for him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely good riddance. Moron, its been going wrong for 12 months, prior to that to add to the FA CUP were 2 of the highrest 3 finishes Leicester have ever achieved in their history, followed by 2 European campaigns. Its time for him to go, its simply not working anymore, but give the man credit for what he initially achiieved Edited 2 April 2023 by steveb 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazly Posted 2 April 2023 Share Posted 2 April 2023 Really he should have been redirected to manage the womans side for the remainder of his contract. For the season, its about 25 games too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCFCJohn Posted 2 April 2023 Share Posted 2 April 2023 Does every other clubs get so widely scrutinised for changing managers? Anyway, although some of the accusations when Ranieri was sacked can’t be brought out this time (serpentine players and not given enough time after the success), it’s clear that if we still go down, the media narrative will be that we shouldn’t have got rid of him (god forbid we roll the dice and give ourselves a fighting chance like other clubs do). We really need to go on a Shakespeare post Ranieri or Pearson great escape type run to stay up on style and shut off that narrative, both from the media and sections of our own fans! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be perfectly honest, I'd had enough of him before the FA cup win but I understand why we wouldn't get rid of him then 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudulike Posted 2 April 2023 Share Posted 2 April 2023 I think the club pulled the trigger now as they finally accepted that a larger part of the fan base wanted him gone. That hasn't been the case in recent weeks with some trying to 'shush' our Rodgers out chants. The noise and banners attracting the media attention might've tipped the balance.

I'll be perfectly honest, I'd had enough of him before the FA cup win but I understand why we wouldn't get rid of him then I get that, but this is a results business and you can't sack the bloke who's just won you your very first FA Cup unless there's a really good other results related reason to do it imo, as you say. I'd certainly agree that he's been dead weight results wise for at least a year and that's more than long enough.

Lcfc-1992 Posted 2 April 2023 Share Posted 2 April 2023 I want to look forward to watching us play again and waking up on match day excited to think we’ve got a chance of getting something no matter who we’re playing. Not had that for a long time now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well partly. The squad is now built in his image. Far too many duffers signed by him and his transfer guy. Far too many players affected by injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
