Does this mean it’s not potter or is is still as clueless as before. I still think it will be Potter announced at our first pre-season friendly at half time flying in during a mock up game of quidditch Yes basically we are all still very clueless 😊 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scanchez Posted 14 June Share Posted 14 June Trying to go back through this thread to see if Potter has turned us down (been told he has), but can't find anything. Can anyone confirm if this is the case? Also can't find anything online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone confirm if this is the case? Also can't find anything online. Potter is getting a restraining order against Leicester City and Rudkin so they can't call or be within 10 miles of him. He needs this sorted before coming out and saying no. Who's told you by the way? I'm starting to come round to the idea it is a no, to be honest.

I don’t have complete faith in the board but players are on holiday, the league starts in two months today. The panic on here is definitely overboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue army 1988 Posted 14 June Share Posted 14 June The people are panicking you would thing the season starts next week. Even if we appointed a manager today, everyone is still away on holiday so it's not going to make much difference on regards to the players and team side of things. It's obvious we are going after Potter, and if it takes a bit longer for us to get him that's okay. I would rather take our time and get a better manager than rushing out and hiring someone like Rafa just because he's a free agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ely fox Posted 14 June Share Posted 14 June If Potter seriously wanted the Leicester job he would have taken it by now. I’m guessing that he thinks he can do better than us …. Que Graham Potter announcement this lunch time that he is the new Leicester City manager on a three year contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the thing, I know it’s easy to feel impatient but we have no need to appoint somebody immediately. The club might actually be doing something right for a change. Unless we leave it too late of course, which is also likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markko Posted 14 June Share Posted 14 June Players away. Euros starting. I can't see many teams doing much, just rumours flying around. When we get the name that is the time to comment. The club are very good at keeping a lid on things. Let's just hope it is someone we feel good about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ALC Fox Posted 14 June Popular Post Share Posted 14 June I imagine any contract offer could be quite complicated with the points deduction. We don't know how many points we'll be deducted over the course of the season, so any bonuses could be dependent on either survival or points gained regardless of survival. Or there could be different bonuses awarded upon survival contingent on how many points are deducted. Not to mention, if survival becomes an almost impossible job, there could be a break clause to negotiate 12 months into a multi-year contract, plus discussions on how the squad will shape up if/when we'll be able to recruit and what pool we'll be fishing in. Youth player development may factor into that too. Plus all the usual stuff about style of play, etc. This could be one of the most complex hires we've ever had to do. The fact that we have a shortlist and we're getting titbits of information about the kinds of manager we're after, I think, is indicative of a club doing a decent job of doing their due diligence. For me, all our problems originate when. Rodgers decided he wanted to keep all our good players, then we also awarded expensive contracts to our fringe players for their loyalty and put Rodgers on an eye- watering contract himself. Not telling Maresca about the issues was also a boo-boo but in terms of managerial appointments, Maresca was a huge gamble but a success and we're clearly putting a lot of thought and effort into these hires instead of going down the easy road and lurching from one ideology to the next hoping something will stick. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the time, bollock naked muttering something about tactics and those bastards Saturday 100%, who needs clothes when there are throw in routines to think about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
