IF you stay up, I wonder if you will offer him the job?

 

Potter and Ange gotta be front runners.

Bollocks to Potter. Frazzled or not the guy didn't want to be here. Smith and co have leapt at the chance to do something here. They might fail. We might go down but it won't be a lack of effort that caused it. The cloud over the club seems to have lifted overnight.

Things i like in these videos:

 

• Madders has a smile on his face
• Vesty back. Never been great signing but Rodgers treated him like shit. No room for castoffs now
• Cags at the front of the queue to get training.  Will we see him used?
• Sadler back to just moving the bags around
• Youri in the camp and smiling away
• More intensity than i have seen from any of these players in ages. 

Yes - its a giant PR exercise but Smith, Shakey and JT aren't hiding away which is a good thing. 

 

Can't find the tweet now and its probably nonsense, but the tweet reported that Smith, Shakey and JT requested to stay overnight at Seagrave. Always felt Rodgers couldn't get away from the area fast enough.

It's so encouraging to her them say, they will do EVERYTHING, and Work every hour, if they are staying at Seagrave, it kind of backs those statements up, I hope they make an instant impact, and we see the results, welcome Deano, JT and Shakey.

Previous posters are right that it feels like a cloud has been lifted.

 

I feel like we’ve got the right people in charge now.

 

Please please please don’t let it be too late.

I also love how Stowell is walking around introducing himself to the players at the start as if he hasn’t been at the club for 20 odd years! 
 

Particularly when he shakes Vestegaards hand - “Hi, I’m Mike.” “I know, you didn’t pick me in the last two games”.

It is genuinely interesting to see what a new manager and coaching staff will do.

I’m just so happy that the gloom broom has finally fvcked off 

[5waller5]

I think I’m too emotional to be a Leicester fan sometimes. 
 

Enduring the depths of despair under Rodgers, to the excitement of refreshing FT constantly for the latest rumour… to go back to those depths when Marsch was in, to elation when Rafa was in, to abject disappointment at the new trio. 
 

Now, after reading Villa forums, watching training videos, and listening to Dean Smith I’m waiting for him to call me up so a fan can show the players how to run through a wall for him!!!

 

I’m 53, married with grown up kids. How on earth does football affect us this much!!!!!???? 
 

I’ve got such a great feeling that we’re gonna love this guy!!! 

[The whole world smiles]

I've really enjoyed watching the interview and the training video. And reading everyones comments. 

 

After months of negativty, polarisation and toxidity, it really feels like pretty much everyone on the board is pulling in the same direction. We are Leicester fans after all we love a bit of adversity and an impossible situation with everyone writing us off. 

 

Up the fu*king city

[ARM1968]

It is utterly pathetic how easily we are swayed because of our love of this club. We literally prostitute our emotions for crumbs of hope. Get a FUCHING grip!!!

 

incidentally, this is what I said to myself in the mirror earlier. All aboard 🤣

Would love it but also worry how it'll work out second time around. Plus Iversen is finally getting a chance and showing he's pretty good (not without flaws)

...I  am sure I read him saying he would love to comeback!!!

 I suspect it would be working within the group, because I feel he can see a pathway where he becomes DoF or a similar position in the club.

Something about seeing Shakey back hits different. Makes me feel warm and cosy.

Love the replies to JT from former players. Especially the Konch one! And Oh Esterban! Always a fox!

Never hire the caretaker. 

Not many people on here agreed with that line of thought when Marsch was being lined up on a zillion year contract. 

 

Plus I know someone in charge of a school who thought that and hired an art teacher to be the janitor. ****ing shite he was. 

[Lesta2014]

I know it’s only a training video, but tete looks dangerous 18 yards from goal doesn’t he and not picking the ball up 70 yards away like on Saturday! Clue, give him the ball quicker and higher up the pitch to make an impact!

Ryan Bertrand in the Canteen, looking overweight!

He's allowed to be, he works serving behind the counter these days, they thought it was his best position!

4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. 
 

He got the best out of Grealish drifting from the left. 

Honestly can see Madders starting out on the left especially with Barnes out so it seems.

 

I honestly think he will go for it against Man City.

 

4-2-3-1

 

GK- Iversen

 

RB - Ricardo/Castagne

CB - Evans/Faes 

CB - Souttar

LB - Kristensen

CM - Wilf

CM - KDH

 

RW - Tete

CAM - Kel (The old Shinji role)

LW - Madders

 

ST - Daka

Well did anyone want Marsch? plus if he'd got a permanent contract he wouldn't have ever been the caretaker.

I am happy this forum is beginning to be so positive.

 

I want to see some fight.

 

Up the City!

[FoxyLeon]

If he keeps us up, I want him in charge at the start of next summer. Don't like this talk of "Who should we get if we stay up?". It's a big job, but if he pulls it off, somehow, then he deserves it permanently. Especially given the momentum survival could generate....We know about that more than anyone. 

It's just nice to hear no excuses, let alone some positivity. He's got a bit of a free swing at it, as anybody reasonable knows the decline under Rodgers has been so deep and long that it needs longer than the few weeks left of the season to fix. Also, looking at his signings at Villa, overall they seem to have been pretty strong, especially compared to Rodgers. The likes of Bailey, Buendia, Watkins, Douglas Luiz, Martinez etc would all have been welcome here.

I think that’s one thing we all have in common on here. 

 

I fully agree though. I went from hmm maybe there’s more to jessie marsch, maybe he could be good… to looking into it and realizing just how awful it would really be. I genuinely lost a nights sleep as i couldn’t stop thinking about how doomed we were and how inevitable everything was.. That last ounce of hope was removed from me. 
 

Then  I had a huge buzz when i found out it wasn’t happening and clung on to the hopes of rafa before being seriously worried that we were going for smith. But the more you look into the man and not just his last job, the more it makes sense. Especially with JT and a lcfc legend. 

 

There are some concerns about the issues at Norwich (not to scare anyone but the main criticism i saw was needless possession with slow build up that didn’t lead to chances, or as it’s otherwise known… brendan ball). But for the short amount of games we have… I think there’s a chance we can do it.  

 

Whatever happens, i’m glad we’ve tried something and we all know it’s happened far later than it should have… but if we go down, at least it will feel like we made one last try!

IF they can somehow get a result vs City, that would be just the jumpstart this outfit needs. At the very least, the air seems to be clearing...finally.
