Popular Post CrispinLA in Texas Posted 3 April 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 3 April 2023 (edited) We need someone till the end of the season to fight this relegation battle.....so my choice would be Shakespeare and Appleton as his assistant. Both out of work and know the club and Appleton was given a caretaker manager for a game which Leicester won Edited 3 April 2023 by CrispinLA in Texas 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan mk 2, we are not looking to replicate that style of play any longer, I really think we should pass on him. There’s definitely concerns of that from me too, he got Brighton winning, the football was quite nice apparently but nothing special and sometimes very gritty and setting up to not lose sort of thing, but you could forgive him given the team he was managing. Problem is Chelsea have been absolutely awful. I also am not sure he would risk us himself anyway, his reputation will still be okay even after the Chelsea disaster because of his work at Brighton, if he immediately comes to Leicester, fails to get a response then goes down his reputation could be tarnished for a while. It’s probably not worth the risk for him until he knows we are safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will potentially be 5 or 6 needing a boss in the summer - Spurs, Saints, Leeds, Palace, Bournemouth, us and maybe Forest & West Ham. We cannot go short termist. We desperately need a rebuild and you can only rebuild properly if you have someone in charge who wants to be the centre of it for a number of years. That's not Rafa. It has to be someone up & coming, in the style of Kompany or Carrick who wants to make a name for themselves. If it's going to be Potter we have to show we're better than those other clubs who will want his signature and right now we look a mess to everyone. You're right but one or two of those are going down and I can't see Spurs being interested. You could probably make a case for West Ham being more attractive but the rest I'm not sure. Forest in particular are basically the poundshop Chelsea. The situation at Chelsea is such that his reputation isn't totally knackered but I think it's taken enough of a dent that we are about as good as he can hope for. I guess it would depend in part how he viewed the big turnover of players we've got coming up - he might think "**** that, it looks a right shambles" or he might see it as an opportunity to build something if he gets assurances that the purse strings are getting loosened a bit. I broadly agree with the second bit - I don't think we should be making any manager the centre of a rebuild but that's a different argument. I think however that if we lose the next two, or maybe only take a point with other results going against us, the board are going to be shitting themselves and end up giving a Rafa type a couple of years.

HybridFox Posted 3 April 2023 Share Posted 3 April 2023 (edited) Potter has been recognised for his "progressive" and "unconventional" coaching methods.

Weller Wing Posted 3 April 2023 Share Posted 3 April 2023 If Potter is the main target, then perhaps we'll offer it to him,now or in the summer. Relegation might not concern him too much , if he believes in the project and believes he'll be backed for an instant return with his own players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ornstein confirmed Spurs had ‘held discussions’ with Potter two years ago, thus indicating they have shown interest in the recent past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they have but he's since been sacked by Chelsea while his replacement has Brighton on course for Europe. I would suggest his stock is not quite as high as it was and has fallen sufficiently that clubs expecting to qualify for Europe and potentially challenge for trophies are going to look elsewhere.

boosmanana Posted 3 April 2023 Share Posted 3 April 2023 Are people suggesting Nigel Pearson still, in 2023? We've outgrown him. Would you want any other manager of a club sitting mid table in the division below us or is it purely from a romantic story point of view? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
