Popular Post moore_94 Posted 5 April 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 5 April 2023 (edited) A lot of clubs tend to have a former player or two in their youth teams / coaching set ups who are looking to go into management that can be an option to turn to as an interim - people who are going to actually be interested in that side of the game and will want to impress even more in the off chance they could get the job permanently But no we have to resort to a goalkeeping coach who has been here over 15 years and another coach who has been here nearly 10 years Edited 5 April 2023 by moore_94 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little did I know that the reality was even worse. Jesus H Christ the club is a complete shambles. It’s almost like they eventually sacked Rodgers to stop the negativity of Protesting fans on Vichai’s birthday and turning it from a celebration of the big man’s life to a Throng of negative protesting towards Rodgers?

kingkisnorbo Posted 5 April 2023 Share Posted 5 April 2023 How many chances did they have? Yet we’ll still have the contracted King Power boot licking squadron telling us how grateful we should be. Once again, no football people running the football club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanlegend Posted 5 April 2023 Share Posted 5 April 2023 When has this strategy ever worked at other clubs fighting relegation. Surely getting an experienced manager who can regalvanise the team is our last hope? Sort it out ffs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edingleyfox Posted 5 April 2023 Share Posted 5 April 2023 I really think we need to sort out an interim appointment this week. Perhaps if there had been an immediate bounce last night I may have waited. The problem is that the more grim the situation gets the less likely anyone is going to want to come in and risk relegation on their CV. The whole season has rested on a feeling that the squad is good enough and somehow we will turn this around with no thought about a plan B.

Vindaloo FOX Posted 5 April 2023 Share Posted 5 April 2023 We deserve the Championship. The board and owners have let us all down. No wonder so many players want to jump ship, would you want to play for this joke of a club ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LcFc_Smiv Posted 5 April 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 5 April 2023 I’ve stated it before, it wouldn’t be a popular choice, and a lot of fans would want someone far more glamorous and experienced. Go and get Michael Duff from Barnsley, he’d be on next to nothing, and he’s not going to turn down the option to come to a club like ours from there. He demands standards, doesn’t take any shit, and is a very good man manager in getting the club aligned from top to bottom. He plays good football, strong defensive base and has players from all over the pitch scoring from Barnsley. He might not keep us up but he’d be best placed to rebuild the foundations of a club that is about to go through a shit storm and have to be tight on the purse strings. It would be a gamble but we need someone who has experience in the game, could drive the standards and wouldn’t cost an arm and a leg when we’re very likely to be going into financial uncertainty. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgfualol Posted 5 April 2023 Share Posted 5 April 2023 We're down then I fear. The players all seem dejected and shit, two coaches that have been here the entire time wont make much difference. Especially a goalkeeper coach who did wonders with Ward.... not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn’t necessarily turned down the job from the summer onwards. I think those odds are for the permanent role, not the interim one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable, I can't believe despite watching the shit we've witnessed for the last 18 months they've done seemingly zero planning for the eventuality he would need sacking. I mean, perhaps they have and it's all long term options that won't come now... but at least have backup plans in place FFS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only fathomable reason re interim manager or to keep Stowell/ Sadler on. God knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bog Posted 5 April 2023 Share Posted 5 April 2023 Well, if I owned the club I would make a special offer to a special man. Make an offer to Nige. 750k to keep the club in the top flight and a subsequent contract to be agreed. . If you fail will give you 100k and part company. Think he would come up with the goods. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les-tah Posted 5 April 2023 Share Posted 5 April 2023 (edited) At this point we just need an interim specialist that is a big name and hugely respected that everyone will give 150% for and lift performances instead of 50% effort. similar to playing sunday league and you spot Alex Ferguson watching from the side lines and you some how manage to play out your skin and run through brick walls. i dont know who this person is but there is no point bringing someone in with a long term plan for the next 8/9 games. the 2 in charge of last night are not the answer.

Fazzer 7 Posted 5 April 2023 Share Posted 5 April 2023 I would be quite happy if whoever comes in gets rid of most of the coaching staff. They've been here too long, Stowel for one. We need new faces and a different approach, new idea's maybe. Oh, and Rudkin, his stranglehold on this club needs breaking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stadt Posted 5 April 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 5 April 2023 It's insane we were ever successful. We owe a hell of a lot to Nigel Pearson and the people he brought in. It's been a long time coming and lots of us knew it, we were just negative or wanting to moan for the sake of it though. The recruitment, the contract management, injuries, academy integration, negotiation, lack of foresight, xG regression - it was all there - none of this is new. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanchflower78 Posted 5 April 2023 Share Posted 5 April 2023 We have 9 games but 3 against City, Liverpool and Newcastle. So arguably 6 realistically and probably need to win 4 of those. It ain't happening guys for a side that's lost 18 in 29 so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how this helps sell your asset. The big issue here IMO is that King Power hold the purse strings, and Top cannot make big financial decisions without board approval. I wouldn't be shocked if the board have ruled out large investment now, they don't have the passion for it like Top and his dad did. I thought it was odd when he personally leant the club money, rather than it being KP... and that would play into it. He might be operating with his hands tied. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
