Mike Stowell, Adam Sadler, and Lars Knudsen are leaving

[ROB-THE-BLUE]

Definitely time to go, but massive gratitude and respect due for Stowell and Sadler's contributions for so many years.

Has Saddler ever done anything to deserve respect? Bournemouth and Villa games showed he was completely out of his depth at this level

Considering he’s worked at LCFC since 2014, he’s done a fair bit worthy of respect

[Gazza3]

Been poorly coached for last few seasons so it's no surprise. None of our keepers can kick the ball straight so not sure what they were doing. . Will be unfortunately remembered for the Bournmouth fiasco.

Yep....he's now got rid of everyone who worked with him as a coach in some capacity. Telling.

Only got the sports science guys left, he’s cleared the decks from our best moments

Wishful thinking but hope Rudkin is next. Very much doubt it though. 

Nah Rudkin wipes Tops Arse and opens his car doors.

Good stuff

The right heads? We'll see.

Sad about Stowell, but it was his time. I wish him nothing but the best!

 

Sorting out Ward’s shot stopping along with Iversen’s distribution will be a difficult task for the new coach.

So, Rudkin held a meeting and concluded someone had to go…just not him.

Whilst I very much doubt he will ever go, I would make the argument that this summer specifically, there is so much to do that we couldn't get rid of him. If a new DOF started on the last day of the season, they would be totally overwhelmed at a time when we need to move fast. Southampton wanted to appoint Maresca, who knows who else was after Coady and Winks. It might have taken 6 months just to find an outstanding DOF candidate yet alone get them to start.

 

But for sure after the mess we got ourselves into, he should be moved on or given less day-to-day responsibility.

It's little things like this that make me believe that relegation was a necessary evil.

 

Of course I'd rather be in the Premier League, but I am genuinely excited by the clubs need to rebuild.

We now have no club employed 1st team coaches left, so should Enzo move on then we'd have no staff again. Unusual. It will be interesting to see what staff come in in the next few weeks.

 

The players might have to train themselves next week 😂😂

I'm guessing this means we have staff to move in straight the way, there will be a few announcements in the next few days new players new staff, new beginnings.

Big respect to Stowelly, been here yonks and I don't care if people pick holes in the keepers we've had over the years and blame him - he's just as responsible for Kasper Schmeichel blooming into one of the best keepers in the world.

 

He's never claimed to be a manager, the other times he deputised in others failings we won more than we lost.

 

This should at least mean Maresca is bringing a pack of coaches in imminently. If that fails all continuity and all identity will be gone, aswell as the squad death we've seen play out over the last 2 seasons. Critical time for the future of LCFC.

...I wonder if Maresca finds it difficult to bring in his full complement of staff, we decide to bring in Shakey to help fill a role!!!

Yeah so he brings his own guys in, let's hope he's a success because if he isn't we'll be looking at a full set of coaches again, admittedly if that is the case it won't be our only problem.

 

We've got one hell of a lot of recruiting to do in the next few weeks. 

Can we hope that recruiting is already complete? They must be at least confident of new staff given they have released the existing incumbents.

I'm with you in the need for a refresh. And relegation makes that non negotiable.

 

But potentially Maresca coming in and all the necessary changes being made could've happened even if we'd avoided relegation.

[TrickyTrevLeftPeg]

Thanks for your service but right time for them to go.

 

Also hope there is some changes in the academy. Just bring in someone to oversee it and a new coach at development squad level.

 

Let's get a proper path to the first team in place.

 

The time for change is now so let's just go for it.

[Mendi]

It was coming.

 

[Sir Shep]

Stowel, League one, championship, premier league, FA Cup and charity shield. Not a bad haul for a coach. I'm sorry he's leaving, maybe he hasn't been up to the job recently but he still has my respect. The other 2 I barely know so not to fussed! 

[EastAnglianFox]

I agree it was time for Stowell to move on but honestly a lovely lovely guy who lived and breathed the club, had many a pint with him over the years when I was back Whitwick way and he'd always be up for a chat, laugh and some drinks and could tell he was so proud to be associated with the club.

The club were at fault for the Villa and Bournemouth games.

 

Total cock up.

[Legend_in_blue]

Positions became untenable the moment the starting lineup was announced against Bournemouth at home.

 

Criminal.

Heard rumours that Shakespeare  and Terry to come back. Don't know if that's the case. Time will tell

Just what I've heard.  Absolutely  no idea how true it is

[volpeazzurro]

Always sad when someone loses their job from a human angle but it sadly clearly had to happen. Things haven't been right for a long time now and some staff probably got a bit too comfortable with their jobs, players and surroundings. Good luck to them nevertheless. 

[LcFc_Smiv]

Best of luck to them moving forward. It’s definitely the time for Stowell and Sadler, it’s one hell of a stint. Can’t help but feel they’ve got the stench of the last manager all over them, but, it’s time for a refresh.

[Spudulike]

Seems this was the fallout from that end of season fault finding meeting with the hierarchy.
