Lillehamring Posted 12 June 2023 Share Posted 12 June 2023 2 minutes ago, BenTheFox said: I've been highly critical of the club recently, but them considering a manager who has been promoted twice recently when our task is to get promoted is far from the most ridiculous thin they would have done recently. It's not just about what he did at fulham (35% win rate is hardly sensational) and Bournemouth, it's the idea of having him in the hot seat for entire rebuild of a team that is currently in shatters - the guy showed he had no composure with his comments at bournemouth, and his record at brugge is surely enough to flag a 'stay away' message - it hardly seems he'll come in positive and inspiring, especially if, as it seems, the fans are already doubting him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no manager, no team. no idea. Rudkin is a joke! If you have no clue just get smith in. At least there is something to 'get behind' The club are a joke expecting us to buy tickets etc when they can make a basic decision. Anyone else notice that the word Preseason looks a bit like.. PEARSON? It's almost like the Gods are trying to tell us something. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football clubs need to operate in a performance based market. Its absolute insanity you can get a 4 year contract that has to be honoured even if you are failing. Same on players, I get financially it makes sense but a player of a 6 year contract, what is the incentive to perform? You know there is 6 years of pay, its only players with a very very good mentality that can manage that. I agree, if it is Parker then 1-2 year deal max. The issue is, he'll want longer and play us and we'll offer more. Just pointless. Much better to incentivise manager contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore_94 Posted 12 June 2023 Share Posted 12 June 2023 Maresca has been interviewed https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/enzo-maresca-interviewed-leicester-city-30215075 Enzo Maresca has been interviewed by Leicester City about their vacant manager’s position as he remains second favourite for the Celtic job. The Italian spoke to Foxes chiefs about becoming the permanent successor to Brendan Rodgers, now the overwhelming favourite for the Parkhead hotseat, at the King Power Stadium. Maresca was interviewed just hours after helping Manchester City create history as assistant to Pep Guardiola, winning the Champions League on Saturday to complete a Treble. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently there are numerous managers who've got at least one promotion from this level, some of them several promotions and they apparently aren't good enough... which I actually think is code for exciting enough. Dunno, I was talking generally, but I don't turn my nose up at some of the names in this thread like others do. Parker for example, two promotions and played some decent stuff from what I saw of him in his time at Fulham and Bournemouth so it's not a stupid idea that we should be looking at home. One poor job doesn't make me turn the other way, same with Smith given his track career has been decent and always successful aside from one job at Norwich.

Popular Post Mickyblueeyes Posted 12 June 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 12 June 2023 Why do so many not like Parker. Youngish manager. Two promotions. Two clubs set in their ways. A basket case of a DOF at one of those clubs. Players seem to respond to him. Ability to deal with the pressure of a large budget. He isn’t the worst choice at this level. Proven far more than McKenna or Duff who seem to get a lot of support on here. It wouldn’t be the worst appointment and compared to the managers we’ve previously gone for, he comes with actual recent pedigree in this league. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting the same vibes from this process that I got last summer when were all waiting for signings that never were going to happen. By dragging this process out they're falling behind on recruitment since the new manager will want his own type of players. They're starting to dig their own hole yet again. Apparently no one has learned their lesson from last season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently no one has learned their lesson from last season. Have you not read the emils from the ITK? Glover is working on selling/buying players at the moment. The players and manager will be picked to suit the style of play of the club, not the manager dictating the style. Allow that to happen and potentially you may need to change a large part of the squad if you replace your manager.

superfox1980 Posted 12 June 2023 Share Posted 12 June 2023 Appointing Marcesa makes me nervous. Yes he's had the privilege of learning from and working with Pep for a few seasons, this doesn't make him Pep. Plus the calibre of player is going to be totally different to what he's used to working with. The guy has had one short lived manger role which wasn't successful. I really don't get all the love for him vs Scott Parker? This is a guy who's had two promotions in 2 years in this league. Whilst I fully agree, he's not the most glamorous of appointments would seem the less risky given our current predicament with the mass exodus of players likely to go and a massive rebuild needed. Personally I believe we need someone who's been there and done it. Marcesa could go very wrong very quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoboFox Posted 12 June 2023 Share Posted 12 June 2023 I'm really warming to the idea of Maresca. Pep clearly loves him. Hoping we can rinse Man City's youth squad for loanees. Also doesn't hurt that he's gonna bring a bit of sexy back to the KP. He's got that baldy, beardy thing going on. Not a stick of Lypsyl in sight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
