Dave Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago It feels like one of two things given there current position: - Somebody significantly better has said they'll take the job. - It's a reaction to losing to Maresca. I hope for the Leicester fans it's not the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're playing shit. It's not just about the position but the direction we're heading. So the polite reminder doesn't really have any meaning 4 minutes ago, RandoEFC said: Newly-promoted Leicester having higher standards than million year Premier League mainstays Everton. Numb to it now. I'm surprised our board have acted in this way in all honesty. They have Rodgers til March despite the downward trajectory we were on. Although he had lots of credit in the bank. Cooper has nothing. And was giving us nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope for the Leicester fans it's not the latter. You can tell they've been horrendous by the way their fans speak about him. I genuinely think they just got him to fill the dugout for a year expecting that they'd get a hefty points deduction this season anyway which would rob them of a realistic chance of fighting for survival anyway. They've won 2 games in 12 and averaging less than a point per game. One of those was a freak turnaround after Southampton got a red card at 2-0 up and capitulated. They've had tricky fixtures but they've looked more and more like they're going down. I honestly think Leicester have just realised actually there's a chance they could pull this off and stay up now that they got their PSR case thrown out and they think someone other than Cooper is a better bet to achieve that. Personally I think this is horrible news for us as a potential relegation rival because I see Cooper as a really poor manager. Even worse if they take a good manager off the market because I'm praying that our new owners sack Dyche off and bring someone in whose management doesn't make my eyes bleed on a weekly basis.

Assuming this was the case, why would they wait until the first game after the international break to pull the trigger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ Posted 2 hours ago Subscriber Share Posted 2 hours ago Rectifying their own fuck up, but that in fairness is progress from 2023. Sounds a funny thing to say but the only positive were the results not being terrible. Bad, but not that bad. The performances were absolutely horrendous. Directionless. Clueless. We're 16th but we were going to go down for sure if he stayed. We're lucky to have as many points as we do. Potter or Van Nistelrooy is who I see us going for.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted 2 hours ago Subscriber Share Posted 2 hours ago Just now, Dave said: Assuming this was the case, why would they wait until the first game after the international break to pull the trigger? Yeah the timing is weird in terms of the fixture pile up but maybe they decided to get Chelsea out of the way and then let the new manager bounce have a run at Brentford and West Ham? I don't know though. Leicester aren't exactly well run all of the time so your reasoning could well be true but even if the reasoning is strange I think the decision is a good one.

I hope you go for Van Nistelrooy because it's weird how he's never been linked with any of these jobs until he won a couple of games as an interim for Man Utd. Feels like a very trap door flavour of the month manager to go for. I'd like us to go out and get Potter to be honest. People will say you can't go from Dyche to Potter and I'd be wary of him being too stubborn and expecting our players to do things that aren't realistic but I do think he could get a decent tune out of our squad, especially if we could make a couple of signings in January.

Dave Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I'd be surprised if Potter takes either the Leicester or Everton jobs to be honest. He's been linked with the likes of England and Man United as well as the likes of Milan and Roma. He's either happy collecting the Chelsea wage or has a high opinion of himself. I think somebody like West Ham is his level and with Lopetegui's start to the season I reckon he'll wait a little longer to see if there's a development there. David Moyes is the first manager I thought, which I think will be a good appointment. But i imagine he'll want a reassurance he can significantly improve the squad in January. Other than that I think Corberan or Carrick would be worth the compensation but fans may feel a Championship manager is not a progressive step.

Whiskey Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Given that RVN has apparently showed interest in the Coventry job, I guess this is a decision that was made in order to go for him. Cooper has been absolutely shit though, he was an awful appointment to begin with to be honest and it's crazy how quickly the fans turned on him. Just hope they go on better and hire some proper weapon to replace him, Garth Crooks or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
