Nobody's going to come along and think 'Ah, Jamie Vardy - I remember he was really good when Leicester won the league seven years ago, he's the first name on my teamsheet...' I would think vards will be the first name on the team sheet with shakey involved at least Rafa would have the balls to tell him he’s on the bench 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnderbyFox Posted 10 April 2023 Share Posted 10 April 2023 Can we bring this bloke back whilst we are at it? Can’t remember his name but it may be a clever move as he probably knows 1 of the players and the surname of the tea-lady 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RowlattsFox Posted 10 April 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 10 April 2023 When are interim managers ever good managers? They are either semi retired or someone who would never get a chance at this level in normal circumstances. The mistake is getting to the stage when interim managers are our only choice. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully smith has more nouse it’s a start but needs more than that ! It was enough to win 5 games on the spin, 6 years ago. I know things change, but not that much in 6 years.

Ricey Posted 10 April 2023 Share Posted 10 April 2023 We should have had this lined up the minute we sacked Rodgers. Two winnable matches lost and by the time Man City have beaten us we could be 5 points adrift. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harboro Posted 10 April 2023 Share Posted 10 April 2023 How did we do under the last manager whose previous job was Norwich? Decent, won a couple of league cups. How did we do under the last manager who had Shakespeare as his assistant? Decent, won the premier league. GERREMIN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 10 April 2023 Share Posted 10 April 2023 I'm not impressed that we've gone from Benitez to Smith, but let's at least get behind the new staff team until the end of the season? It doesn't make sense to let any frustrations out towards Smith and then let that affect the atmosphere at matches. The players still need our support, and whoever new coming in also needs it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how they’re working. ...Dean Smith was the only manager (so we were told) who was prepared to accept the short term contract!!! Having Shakespeare with him would not have been a consideration, for the board, but I am delighted to have him back here. I am not sure that the club is using him to get back on the good side of supporters, as there is a lot of people who blames him for the Ranieri sacking and view him as a snake, so there will be mixed feelings amongst our supporters of him coming back. Pretty much I believe our coaching staff to be poor and it would be good to get a proper coach here at the club. If we could make him a resident coach (irrespective of which ever manager comes into the club) he will still be here. We lost him when we gave him the managerial role, glad to get him back.

Phenom Posted 10 April 2023 Share Posted 10 April 2023 We’re such a joke. Hope we do stay up so Top sells and we bring in proper leadership. I’ll back Smith and Shakespeare , of course. Can’t be worse than the idiots we’ve had in charge for the past few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if any of those apply to Craig, but his grandfather certainly did come up with some brilliant quotes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTY_FOX Posted 10 April 2023 Share Posted 10 April 2023 (edited) I felt positive about it all despite Saturdays display the last day or w but Dean Smith is unbelievable. I dont understand the logic. What about Dean Smith suggests he won't make us worse? Edited 10 April 2023 by ARTY_FOX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is just happy to be linked to a top flight job after being linked with a League one club in January.
