Someone who has managed a football club and not just for 14 games. Someone with a bit more experience I guess. He’s a big risk. A bigger risk than I would have liked our club to take in what is probably our biggest summer window ever. Having said that, I guess the club just want him to coach and they’ll sort out the rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't build all these great facilities to be on a level playing field with Ipswich and Sheffield Wednesdays. I very much doubt that Wednesday fans think we are "massive", they have kicked our arse countless times over the years. Our recent reputation will be of limited advantage when the season starts.

Countesthorpe Fox 1884 12 Posted 16 June 2023 Share Posted 16 June 2023 Its a big gamble, we all know that. He has been spoken of highly by Pep but then i guess he would be. The only thing I would say is that if its a deal to 2026, it does feel like he sees us as a stepping stone to getting promoted then getting one of the 'big six' interested. I guess being in the championship now we have to accept that. However if he takes us back up, then I guess thats the main thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll be able to attract a better class of manager as a PL side than a Championship side. If Enzo gets us promoted and bails, it’s not a bad deal for us.

He wanted control on the pitch, it seemed as if he was coaching throughout the games and for a tight knit group, it would have felt like an imposition. Many if our supporters would love to see him back here, in any capacity and virtually all the players he played alongside have now all gone. I can't say I will be enthused to see him back here, but he will bring in a lot of experience, should he take up a coaching role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However thats a problem id love us too have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may also be paying way above the normal salary a manager in this position would be offered, but with such a short term contract, offloading will not be so problematic.

EnderbyFox Posted 16 June 2023 Share Posted 16 June 2023 Quote Maresca and Leicester have discussed the backroom staff members to potentially join the Italian manager. Part of the initial plans he had were readjusted due to the difficulties around granting a UK work permit to some of the personnel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
