Just because someone isn't experienced, doesn't mean they are bad - i don't know who he worked under at his first jobs but Pellegrini and Pep are pretty decent mentors - an alternative like Parker has more match day experience, but his only period of mentorship was a few games under ranieri at fulham - which is probably why he appears to have such a low ceiling... I don't think anyone is saying 'it can't fail' - but just sense the mood already, suddenly the misery of last year is starting to slip away. Agree with this. No guarantees even if a big and well known face came in. Seems like he has been learning his craft and wants to step up to the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top and company gambled the whole premier future of the club by not investing in new players at the start of the season knowing full well that most of the player's contracts were ending, and not sacking Rodgers early enough. look where that gamble has gotten us? I understand what you’re saying, but I guess I mean that the risk/gamble last year would have been to get rid of Rodgers sooner or spend big in January…. We spent far too safely… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonarchFox Posted 16 June 2023 Share Posted 16 June 2023 Well if it is Enzo, he needs a season at least to get his style of play across. Hopefully it clicks straight away or he gets the time to implement it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillehamring Posted 16 June 2023 Share Posted 16 June 2023 9 hours ago, ozleicester said: The question is still whether any manager will be allowed to ride out a rough run... modern clubs, owners and fans, are notoriously skittish and will sack (Rodgers aside) at the drop of a point. If we appoint Maresca, then hopefully we are looking at building a system and a squad, does that mean no promotion in year 1... or 2?... Would ANY manager get to xmas of 24 and keep their job if we arent in the top 4? I think you've answered your own question - they allowed BR time to rediscover some form and, initially, it paid off - when everyone else was sacking managers, for us it was a last resort and i think they'd have stuck it out to the end of the season if it hadn't been for the home fan toxicity. Granted in hindsight it failed, but it's fair to say the club didn't panic and sack him (even if perhaps they should) - the point is, they don't seem to have a watford-mentality when it comes to patience.

Mickyblueeyes Posted 16 June 2023 Share Posted 16 June 2023 In 3 years, I want Enzo added to the O'neil/Pearson get them back list. "If we chuck him a bag or two, he might just leave Barca and come back to finish what he started". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxes_rule1978 Posted 16 June 2023 Share Posted 16 June 2023 Maresca is going into the unknown, but I have a feeling this could work out well. He is young and was assistant to one of the greatest managers ever. I’m sure Arsenal fans aren’t regretting taking on Arteta now, despite a wobbly start. We need to give him time, there is a major rebuild needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is that was not a risk they chose to take, that was simply the situation they were in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are entitled to your opinion, so let’s leave it there. No, probably not - because leicester fans seem to have very short memories - it's standard practice here to love a player/manager and then end up hating them and forgetting all the great things they did.

Popular Post Bryn Posted 16 June 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 16 June 2023 We must, must, MUST give him time. The aim needs to be to go up and stay up. Throwing millions at an instant return by bringing in ageing older players on huge contracts won't bring us sustained success, we'll just go right back down again. I'd accept not going straight back up if there's a clear road to long-term success. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
