Managerial Replacements

Absolutely.

Puel was just straight up awful.

Underachieved under Rodgers - didn’t deserve to win the fa cup.

Bottled champions league TWICE.

And Maresca was indeed a miss. Wrong manager, wrong time. All three think that the team with the most possession wins the game.

So, you'd rather stay in the Championship for as long as possible?..

Did not see that, thanks

I have had a quiet day and have been on this forum far too much, hoping for news but instead have been reading some proper weird shit like keinan dewsbury croc

If we are really going for Cooper we may as well just get Nige back

Don't think his health troubles would allow that.

He’s right on all three……we were a bit lucky with FA Cup win.

How were we lucky to win the FA cup? Do explain?

Breaking the “Self quote same post twice” metric suggests evidence to the contrary.

 

edit just opened another bottle of wine to try to get in the mindset so I can contribute more effectively

Puels tenure actually makes me question what I know about football, I actually wanted him sacked and couldn't fathom what he was doing, how wrong I was.

It's no easy task to turn a squad players that have recently won the league without being comfortable in possession, to being a possession based side whilst still being competitive, and doing it on a shoe string budget, but Claude Puel was on the cusp of that before he was sacked, he was a far better manager we gave him credit for, and Rodgers benefitted from that a lot

Your self awareness and reason is not welcome here.  

[Dahnsouff]

Lampard to Burnley then?

Sigh, always the bridesmaid……

Have you ever used the phrase “give your head a wobble duck” in real life?  If you have I think we might know each other, if you haven’t.. what’s with the weird internet persona? I know of only one who speaks this way. 😅

[Ric Flair]

I'd be extremely surprised if Corberan wouldn't come here. His release clause isn't huge, he's represented by the agent that is forever involved with Leicester. If it's true he's not coming here then it'll be because we don't want him for some reason.

 

We should want him though.

I was the other way around. I liked his work with us, albeit mystified by his selection decisions in cup games. 

 

Yet, I have heard from a good source that the dressing room were totally bemused by him. He'd walk in to the dressing room after a defeat looking at stats and mumbles 'well played'. That was the extent of a debrief. 

 

A very contradictory and enigmatic reign.

Puel built the spine of a strong team, although not manager material.. for me he’d make an excellent chief scout.

Tommy? He'd keep us up, just like that

[OldBob]

Apart from his recruitment, Puel was awful. No need to rewrite history. Football snobs will put possession football on this high pedestal but they’re talking tosh. If we had not gone down the Brighton model after Shakey was sacked, we would have got top four finish’s in that period.

What are you on about? 

 

The foundations set by Puel, including some of the best players we've had for years and started the transition to away from the title winning tactics. 

 

Rodgers won the FA cup and two 5th places. That's incredible. He was shit for the final 18 Months and should have gone sooner...but let's not rewrite history.

 

Enzo just got us promoted. Exactly what was asked if him. 

 

Honestly don't know how you have formed your opinion.

Nobody was happy with Puel.

The football was dire mate.

 

Rodgers last 2 years made everything that came before it irrelevant. He is hated by the fans. So that’s a miss. His stubbornness and poor management saw us fall short.

 

and Enzo…

you only have to look at the posts mate, fan base was torn. We stuck with him because we were grinding out results, but he squandered a huge lead due to his idea of what football has to be. We won the league which was great, but genuine I didn’t find last season that enjoyable. Pissing around at the back, slowing everything down and allowing the opposition to get back, to then be unable to break them down. It was dreadful. And we limped over the line and into the automatic spots because of Vardy and his meeting, also the players going against the managers instructions and scoring goals on the counter. I couldn’t be happier that he’s gone.

 

both Rodgers and Maresca criticised the fans. That for me, there’s no coming back from.

Get Junior Lewis in, he'll have learnt a lot working under Peter Taylor

He was playing vardy upfront on his own, and with a double pivot against sides we all thought he should be going gung ho.on, however his brief was to make us a possession based side. The problem Puel had was the gap between the double.pivot and the single striker we'd play, then along came Tielemens who was the missing link, and not long after he was sacked. 

He probably had lost the dressing room at that point but looking back he did some necessary work in moving us on

No denying that Puel was hard to watch. But the players he bought in where mostly excellent. Ricardo, Evans, Madison, Soyuncu, Youri. 

He started the transition. Sure the football was shit. But my point is that he built the foundation. 

 

BR last 18 months do not get rid of the fa cup win and 5th places finishes. That's just a crazy comment. Yes he's hated. He's a dick. But my point is that he was successful until the last season. You can't judge a manager on how it ended, but what happened the whole time. 

 

Should we disregard the title winning because of Claudios second season? 

[Foxin_Mad]

If we are really getting that goony **** Cooper I will have to send my ticket ticket back. Repulsive man, Repulsive football, 3rd rate relegation manager. Was lucky at Forest due to have 987 random players. 

[Dahnsouff]

Whoever it is gets a cheer and a chance. 
 

edit even if it is Cooper

Eduardo Macia was just as influential as Puel, he was our head of recruitment. Puel can be reasonably assessed to have suggested Ricardo and possibly Tielemans but for many years our signings are a collective effort and recommended to our managers.
