Mazzy Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 That's a truly bad appointment for Leicester. The only good decision they made was for it to be presumably only till the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokerprince2004 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 What a rapid fall from grace for Leicester. Before this season started we thought us and Leicester would be fighting it out for 7th with them probably favourites. They could easily finish bottom of the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 They had a knack of buying young and up coming players who really helped them push for European places. Tielemans, Ndidi, Pereira, Maddison, even Ayoze And then last summer they allowed their inspirational captain to go and didn't buy a keeper. And I think their only summer signing was Faes who has looked dreadful nearly every game I've seen him Really strange Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Like with players the churn of managers is only speeding up but unlike players the talent pool is much much smaller. How long until someone goes for Will Still? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I wonder if we've ever had a season where five clubs have got interim bosses in to see out the rest of the season. It's barmy atm like; the whole nature of management in this country is changing. Like Lampard and Hodgson, Smith is a perfectly 'understandable' appointment because if you want to make a permanent appointment in the twilight of a season, you end up with the likes of Javi Gracia. It makes sense to go temporary and just cross your fingers, ahead of a meaningful appointment in the summer where there's more to choose from. That being said, it's gonna be a right clusterfuck with all of them shopping in the same market. Wouldn't be surprised to see some 12 month extensions dished out.

brummie Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) Leicester are a club with a small number of games in which to save themselves from what looks like very possible relegation. Dean Smith, after the covid break, saved a club from what looked like absolutely certain relegation, in fewer games. He has done exactly what they need to do, in the last few years. I genuinely don't think there are many more sensible but - most importantly - achievable appointments they could have made, especially as it is until the end of the season. re John Terry. When he came to us, I was gutted, as I hated him as much as the next man, and thought he was just there for the $$$ and didn't give a shit about anything that wasn't Chelsea. Totally wrong on that, he was brilliant for us both on the pitch and as assistant manager. They're also taking Craig Shakespeare, who is still highly thought of at Leicester from his time there. I saw that smug fucking prick Barry Glendenning saying what an awful appointment it was. Who do they think Leicester City, in their current predicament, should have gone for?
