I prefer Garde to Sherwood. However that's beginning to feel like saying i'd prefer to be punched in the face rather than kicked in the bollocks.

Garde really is pretty shite as an actual football manager isnt he? I mean he is wonderfully sane which I appreciate, been royally screwed by no transfers but still has to take the blame for the fact we play worse now than when he arrived. Sorry Remi thats on you son.

Agree 100% with this

Don't agree he needs to be given the chance to work with his own players.  He has made it patently obvious that he thinks a core of the squad is not making an effort so therefore like any manager he should be given the opportunity to shape his own squad every other manager under Lerner has been allowed this opportunity, even TSM and he came from a place worse than hell!!

The trouble with changing managers again is the new guy is going to have to judge the squad for himself before deciding it's rubbish and we need a clearout.

A bad workman blames his tools.

Claudio Ranieri doesn't have the best players in the league, but he's going to win it.
Actually, this is a brilliant point.
The Leicester team should not be within a million miles of the champions league places, let alone winning the title.
But, there is every chance they will win the league.
Their manager has got an average team playing miles above their ability.

Surely, a decent manager could have gotten our load of shite playing 3 places better than we actually are?
 Just 3 fucking places !

Good point. Including by the way Marc Albrighton who was discarded by us because he wasnt good enough to make this squad. Which he wasnt. And yet now under a good manager is having a solid season at the top of the table.

This idiot does not give a shit about the club.  He's boring and has no passion   I hate the bloke.  Sooner he crawls back into the gutter where he belongs the better.

Just fuck off now.

Sorry you didn't clarify which PLAYER are you referring to?

Only if he's been held hostage without any access to TV, radio or the internet since August.

What we really need is an animated passionate manager. One that lets the team know what they should be doing. Someone like this fella.



at least he came in and motivated the squad, got us playing with a bit of fight and saved us. Garde has looked disinterested from the start. We clearly have no leaders on the pitch so a bit of passion from the bench may have helped

To what end though? He can't score the goals required, he can't defend the goal area as soft goals go in.  Just what do you expect the man to do?  None of us ever see or hear what sort of motivational speech he gives prior to the players taking the field.  They could be as fired up as the Towering Inferno but as is often quoted, time after time, once the players step over that white line, there is nothing the manager can do.  Just maybe, Garde has given as much passion as he has in that pre-match speech and knows that he can do no more.  Who knows?

As for that other prick Sherwood, he'd be better employed at this past weeks Cheltenham festival as a tic-tac man.

I expected a bit of positivity when he joined the club when we still had a chance. Weve seen nowt. The point im making is even sherwood could manage a few decent performances and wins just by inspiring a bit of fight.

IMO we've been far worse under garde than sherwood.  That's saying something

Though I would be loathe to credit Pearson with anything Ranieri did build on the incredible run that Leicester went on at the end of last season. What was intelligent about initially and he has been since is not trying to fix something that wasn't broken and had some momentum. He was precisely what they needed and has sufficient experience and smarts to just keeper nudging what has become a juggernaut along the path to the title. It's arguably going to be the greatest achievement in the history of top flight football in England.

Could he? Would you like to point me to a match this season where he did that i.e. minus Benteke?

I don't get the "yeah, the players are shit, but he should be doing better" thing.

Who, for example, is he supposed to play who doesn't get picked at the moment up front?

Gestede is awful. Gabby is fat and shit. So who does he pick instead? Who do we have who could be getting us goals?

And suggesting some embryo from the academy who has never played for the first team as the answer is clutching at straws.

On the other hand, players get castigated for going through the motions and not giving a shit, so why should Garde get a pass for the same? He's just as half arsed and shit as the players.

On the basis of his coefficient of animation?

I totally agree.
I think the most intelligent thing about their situation though is that, they made a great choice in bringing in a manger who could carry on that momentum.
Never in their wildest dreams would they have expected is to carry on like it has though.

And it wasn't the most popular hire either. Ranieri was seen by most as washed up, way past his best. Nobody saw this coming.

Yes he was dealt a bad hand, yes the damage was done before he arrived, yes he was shafted in January... But the bloke dearly needed to deliver some green shoots, just a hint of upward trajectory and instead we're regressing - incredibly - even further.

I think the writing is on the wall unfortunately which is a real shame because I really thought he'd be the man to sort it out.
