Beeb now reporting it.

Leicester set to name Man City's Maresca as boss

Treble-winning Manchester City assistant coach Enzo Maresca is set to be appointed Leicester City manager after agreeing terms with the club.

www.bbc.co.uk

It's not Frank Lampard or Steven Gerrard or Scott Parker - let us rejoice!

It's interesting timing. The fact that this is now as good as confirmed, and just 6 days after Man City winning the Champions League final, suggests to me that he was possibly high on the list all along and it was a case of waiting for Man City to get the CL Final out of the way before firming up talks and discussions.

Hopefully that's a cause for optimism...

It doesn't give the impression of a scraping the barrel appointment (like Smith was) IMO.

 

[M17TT C]

Let's be honest, given out position now, we were never going to get a manager any of us would really have been happy with.

The sooner we all realise we are a Championship club the better.

Maresca is certainly a punt but it's a better choice than fat frank or slippy g.

Parker may have been a safer option with his previous experience at this level but many weren't particularly happy with that prospect.

Potter was never going to happen in our position and imo, would not have been much more of a guarantee for success than Maresca as there is no guarantee for success in football.

Hopefully this guy should get us a good pick from a very good crop of youngsters from Man City to help us get out of the Championship - it doesn't matter how we do it, we have to do it ASAP.

It's certainly a risk going for Maresca but I think that if it goes well, it could go very well indeed. Certainly much more exciting than the same old, same old names that get mentioned.

First job appears to be done, I'm sure many(BN) will be saying this should have been done weeks ago but we've moved before any of the other relegated teams.

Time to sort out the squad now.

It’s happening. Word on the street is shite

The word on the street is sometimes right, sometimes wrong, but always certain.

Have to say that this is a genuinely MASSIVE gamble - main things people are focussing on are 'Ooh, he's worked with Pep' or 'Ooh, he'll bring a load of Man City players in on loan' or 'Ooh, he knows Cambiasso'

Nothing to do with whether he can actually manage a team in a crisis in the Championship - or his previous managerial experience, which is pretty shite, let's be honest


Never get anywhere with an Italian manager.....

Yes, Maresca is a risk but, a risk means that there's the chance of a big pay off. Personally, I'd rather that than a plodder. I'm nailing my colours to the positive mast!

Yep, nothing wrong with a half full glass. Some ****ers on here don’t even own a glass!!

For the record this strikes me as a shit appointment which goes directly against the main reason why we have succeeded in the past.

Win the premier league by rejecting the current 'brand' of football that is infecting every club.

Now we're back to suckling at the teat of 'how it should be done' by hiring a ****ing mini-pep.

I am aghast.

come mr bigglesworth

 

[Miles Away]

Glad it’s decided.

Glad it’s not a failed retread.

Massive job on his hands, but one with lots of potential. He has my support.

We are going to have to be patient. He’s going to have to be adaptable.

Onwards.

come mr bigglesworth

We’ll pay Ryan Bertrand….

ONE MILLION DOLLARS (a month)

I don't think any of us can make any kind of judgement of his appointment and likely outcome.

**** knows.

It does indicate a dramatic change of direction for the club though. This is not how they operate usually.

It actually feels a bit like the sort of appointment you might make if you were trying to sell the club or at least dilute your stake.
