Wymsey Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June I'd give him the chance, in the hope that he has learnt from his experience at Forest. If I was a player, I wouldn't judge how good my manager is based on his looks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Claw II Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June Let’s not pretend we have a bunch of ‘elite’ players so why would they expect an ‘elite’ manager. Enzo showed little if any flexibility - he did what was required but he wasn’t a genius. Our last ‘elite’ manger nearly ruined the club, quite happy to have someone who tries to connect with the club and its fans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently a clause in his pay-out say that he has to be actively looking for work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gubbins Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June 3 minutes ago, whoareyaaa said: We won the league mate, We also finished 5th and 8th in the Prem playing a worse type of possesion based football under Rodgers. And the Rodgers teams, certainly the ones who finished 5th would wipe the floor with last seasons teams cos they were full of good prem quality players. Bit like most of the teams wel be facing this season. Playing them at their own game with inferior players is only going to get us consistently beaten. Do something different.

Molson Canadian Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June Leicester City legend Emile Heskey says the aim for the next manager is simply to try and stay in the Premier League amid a limited capacity to sign new players. Speaking at the launch of Husqvarna's Victory Dance campaign, he insisted the best way to achieve that would be to continue the style of football implemented by Maresca. Heskey told Sky Sports: "Leicester have gone down the route of having someone in Maresca, who revolutionised the way that we think as a club in the sense of the way that we play. "It would be crazy to change everything around. Even when you look at U21s, they have started to implement a lot of the fundamentals that Maresca had. (I 100% agree with this comment) "You would like to think the next manager would take that on and keep it going and play a lot of the younger lads, because the reality is I'm not sure how much we can spend to really get that squad up to par with what is needed to stay in the league. "We ran through the Championship pretty much easily with a bit of a blip. If we can keep Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, that would be outstanding and unbelievable, because he's really the main player. "The aim has to be to stay in the Premier League. We have to reset and work again. Staying in the league is key and then you build from there, especially if you're not able to spend the money you need to spend to get the squad up to par. "The reality is that squad is pretty similar to the squad that came down. Yes, in the forward line Jamie Vardy has signed again, but who else have we got? That is a key position that needs to be rectified. "I would say defensively, the centre-back position would be important as well and then possibly a midfielder."

tetly Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June Personally I think we should have got someone proven a good manager. Pay a huge bonus for keeping us up and an option to stay longer if the goal is achieved. This appointment feels like we have already accepted that we are going down again. It’s very worrying how far backwards we have gone in terms of appealing to good managers. Look at what villa did when they went up last time. They got it wrong with Gerrard but put that right with the next appointment. We are the opposite to this with our decisions. Feeling a little bit disappointed that this is the best the board can come up with. I personally feel that we need a shake up at board room level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafewayFox Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June Can anyone think of a recent manager who has an affiliation with a rival club to then be a success? My first names were Benitez at Everton and Poch at Chelsea….both failed to properly win over the fan base and seemed to be destined to fail from the beginning.

Pliskin Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June 7 minutes ago, Babylon said: I wasn’t excited about Maresca, I had little opinion of him really as his only experience was a total flop at his first club. I know everyone loves Pep, but not all his coaches are going to be good managers. Im not really excited by Cooper either, but he was respected enough to be taken to Liverpool to head their youth team from Wrexham, and then respected enough to get a post with England winning Trophies. Did a more than respectable job at Swansea and then a fantastic first season at Forest and for me a decent season in keeping them up. His record is respectable. We’ve shown before with Rodgers (I think it was a good appointment but went in too long) and Maresca that the club have tried to get in managers that aren’t the easy opinion. We’ve clearly tried to convince Potter to no avail. I think it’s harsh to say we don’t want him, if you scout 5 players and only get your third choice, doesn’t mean you didn’t want him. I personally think reasonably we are going to have one eye on next season, it would need a miracle to stay up considering the circumstances. And he’s proven a good championship manger and played good football. Corberan I would be happy with, but clearly there is a sticking point. We are looking at him and something has obviously made us question it more than Cooper and it doesn’t necessarily have to be about Money. He might not have interviewed well, who knows. It’s likely that he’s emphasised his willingness to utilise the academy. Thats what I’m particularly excited about with Cooper, Braybrook, Nelson and Alves are all likely to get minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_favourite Posted 19 June Share Posted 19 June The thing I'm taking away is that Florest was a joke and I don't think he was in control of signings at all. He had to deal with what he had, which was 40+ players. Getting anything with that in some feat. Chelsea but budget shopping. Last season, our recruitment was very good.

We would have been bored to tears in the stands and torn to shreds on the pitch by any team with a bit of pace and a good press which is most of them. The only reason maresca would last past Xmas would be that Rudkin would be too stupid to sack him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
