Apparently, Paulo Sousa is looking for a new challenge.

At Porto.

The complete lack of any meaningful links to another manager suggests that this is a done deal. In Shakespeare, they trust.

Mancini is off to St. Petersburg, Silva went to Watford, Rodgers has signed a new deal at Celtic.

I hope to be proved wrong, but I can't help thinking that not making a big splash for a big name / reputation manager is going to be a very costly mistake.

Silva and Rodgers are no loss.

Hull and Celtic likely disagree.

KPMG today report that Leicester City are the 16th richest club in Europe. We are one place ahead of Everton, and above the likes of Roma, Inter Milan, Ajax, Valencia, Sevilla, Lazio, PSV, etc.

We are valued at just over £400m.

In that context, here we are 10 days after the end of a piss poor under-achieving season, with no manager, a over-promoted coach in position, an over-promoted Director of Football making key decisions, and our best player pleading to be allowed to leave.

We are in desperate need of a strong new manager. Someone with the skills and desire to take the club forward.

Do Vichai and Top have all this under control? Do they want us to kick on next season, acquire an exciting new manager and bring in some exciting new players?

If they don't pull their fingers out, we just going to slowly (or quickly) decline back to being also-rans in the Championship. As a club, we have an inglorious history of fecking up great potential and opportunities.

We could now be sleep-walking through the biggest one ever.

Tuchel it is then.

Mancini would be very exciting. Id also like us to really go for it in the transfer market (100 million). Let's go and pay mega bucks for some real proven stars.

Volpone · May 31, 2017

Surely the longer this drags on the less likely it is that Shakespeare will get it.

What more do Top & Co need to know about him?

Lako42 · May 31, 2017

The more I think about it the more it needs to be someone who can really kick us on.

We can't miss more opportunity to get on to the next level.

If Mancini considers Zenit a more desirable prospect then he's a workshy ****wit who is afraid of a proper challenge.

Feriol · May 31, 2017

If Shakespeare gets it now then I think that's an indication that we failed to get our preferred option(s).

I honestly believe that we had that in Ranieri but that factions in the club (BofB or whoever) wished to maintain the status quo for whatever purpose. The fact that Shakespeare succumbed to that desire suggests to me, notwithstanding our Premier League survival, that he is not the man to take us on; it will be just more of the same. We should root out the reactionary forces not pander to them.

Agreed

Claudio was attempting to change the style and was lambasted for it, now we are hearing the majority say we need to change.

He didn't have the buy in from the people that mattered, or they weren't good enough to adapt.

Either way he was attempting to move us on in terms of having more ways of playing and it backfired.

At the same time we must also accept that Ranieri was overseeing a team that were playing horrendously. Management is about making the most of the tools that you have. Ranieri clearly got this very wrong last season.

Ranieri is available.

And which mysteriously became unbeatable immediately after his departure.

Or perhaps he got it right - and was forced out by conspiracy.

Mark my words - it is those who do not want the club to move on that need sorting. And if we don't sort that out we might as well just stay with Shakespeare because nobody else will be given a chance either.

Has Bob been drinking with BN?

..but probably has more pride than another of our (also available) recent managers.

Bob doesn't drink - but he is happy if BN subscribes to his feelings on the matter.
