foxfanazer Posted 4 April 2023 Share Posted 4 April 2023 Top could be tempted to play it safe. I'm sure he'll be aware of the murmurings of discontent towards himself from certain parts of the fanbase. Pearson could easily be considered due to his familiarity with the club. You'll struggle to find a bigger Pearson fan than me but personally I think we should leave him where he is with his legendary status intact. If we were to get relegated though..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the final season it was long rumoured Benitez would leave. After those two seasons of stabilisation, Bruce had money to spend Context is… not taking account of ‘net spend’ as they sold Perez, Mitrovic etc for big money= 17/18 + 18/19 = Rafa total spend on signings = €106million 19/20 + 20/21 = Bruce total spend on signings = €111.5million (€44million was Joelinton) Rafa notable signings = Almiron, Murphy, Muto Bruce notable signings = Wilson, Willock, Saint Maximan, Joelinton On that basis think I’d rather have Bruce 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCFCCHRIS Posted 4 April 2023 Share Posted 4 April 2023 Definitely leaning towards caretakers til the end of the season (especially if we get something vs Villa). We’ll then know who we can look at depending on which league we’re in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoonerJeeves Posted 4 April 2023 Share Posted 4 April 2023 I'm not sure Thomas Frank would change jobs. He's probably delighted to be at Brentford. While you're a bigger club, at this moment in time, it is probably more attractive for him to stay put. Carrick will probably want to stay where he is as well. It is a risky proposition to come to Leicester now for a young and upcoming manager. I think if you survive, he might consider it, but if he goes down with you, that would be a big blow to him. As unpopular as it might be, Rafa might be a decent shot. He has the experience, and I think he would not worry about any fallout from a relegation. He'd also be willing to stay if you go down, and he has a proven track record. I'd stay away from Steve Bruce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUHILL Posted 4 April 2023 Share Posted 4 April 2023 Benitez for last 9-10 games (sigh)... Thomas Frank in the summer. Got a lot of rebuilding to do, and I think Frank has done an incredible job at Brentford. He would get a huge pay rise and really relish working at our training ground IMO. Have to stay up though! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re a far cry from the Leicester City of only two years ago. The only thing we’ve outgrown is our budget because of our wage bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unreal. Realistically we can't be doing over 3m a year, pushing 4 if its an absolutely outstanding candidate willing to meet us in the middle. The Rodgers contract was an outlier that I doubt will be repeated. It shouldn't be repeated either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the players leaving and all the contracts running down, plus all the injuries. Whoever comes in has got an absolutely huge rebuilding job to do on potentially a limited budget. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd stay away from Steve Bruce. I don't think anyone thinks for one moment that Frank is going to jump ship at this point in the season. Nor any other manager currently having a good year, why on Earth would they? The smart thing to do is to wait until the summer. If we survive it's obviously a very different prospect. The club has a track record of good recruitment and has demonstrated an ability to win two major trophies in the last seven years through sensible recruitment and an ability to spend. As much as Maddison and Tielemans are likely to leave, there's still the makings of an excellent squad here and the talk of our need to "drastically rebuild" is largely just Rodgers apologist tripe. Brentford can harp on all they want about how fancy their by-numbers recruitment is but they'll find out the same lesson we did, that it becomes a lot harder if you want to start chasing European qualification and ultimately they've got a lot more of a glass ceiling above them than we do. With next to zero commercial revenue of note and a fanbase that can sustain, at best, about a 20k average gate they're going to be permanently hamstrung by FFP. There's a limit to how far Frank can take them and he's probably just about hit it. Edited 4 April 2023 by Finnegan 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
