Quote from: Matt C on April 16, 2016, 02:37:09 AMGet the inevitable out the way this weekend and then it's a good time for a manager to come in - he's got a bonus mini pre-season to evaluate and then we can get a fast start in the summer. We can't afford to be dicking about until July.It's a tough one for them. Reading black's comments about player anarchy you wonder if they'd rather avoid exposing the new guy to all that. But then they might miss out on a preferred target.

Three of which were when they were the richest club in the league. It was 2 and a half-seasons. The first of which (2011-12) he joined roughly half way through the season. The second season (2012-13) Leicester lost in the play-offs and missed a last-minute penalty which would have took them through to the final. And the third season (2013-14) they won the Championship. Not quite 3 out of 4 barren years.And you're not counting 2009/10 because...?And adding "roughly" still doesn't make November anything like halfway through the season.because that was in his first spell and not his second spell. Okay, a third of the season. I was 6 weeks out. That's roughly enough.Why does which "spell" it was matter? I just said that he had four seasons in the Championship, failing to get them promoted for the first three.Which is correct.

How about Stuart Pearce and Gareth Southgate both in charge. Meets the criteria of being English, well connected to Bernstein. Southgate has the knowledge of how our club operates, which IMO is almost a fundamental requirement for the next manager, having been captain and Pearce has got the fire, good combo I been thinking. Both were fully committed as players for club & country, something for some of our 'pro' players to learn from.They might be defensive but this can be countered by the fact we got Traore,Green,Grealish,Ayew(hopefully) to create
