The basic problem is that Puel is NOT a football manager. He is a second rate coach out of his depth in this league. The over paid functionaries at the club never wanted a proper manager and have got their way.
Puel and others need clearing out now.
Iheanacho cost a fortune. Deduct that from Mahrez's fee and we got little for Mahrez and wasted millions on a non-footballer. Man City smart on and off the pitch; Leicester - stupid.
Puel has implanted a brand of football that no one enjoys and he doesn't pretend can be successful against top sides e.g. we had lost yesterday's game well before kick off. He picks up points against other struggling teams and will probably save us from relegation -and ruin. Is this what the...
Not really given his best consistently for some time now. Time for us and him to move on.
Signings this summer look very decent - pity about the manager though.
You would think that at most clubs there would have been a couple of people high in the hierarchy who would have advised Puel that effectively kicking in the season by adopting an ugly alien and for these players ineffective style wasn't in the club's or Puel's best interests.
Arsenal result shouldn't affect Puel's position. He is a disaster who would take Leicester further into the dark ages.
Will the owners hold their nerve and sack him next week. Who knows? Probably depends on whether they can attract someone decent. Wagner would be sensible to quit Huddersfield...
You have to bear in mind that the fan base includes a few geezers who seemed to get a bigger kick out of invading Yeovil and similar football outposts in the third tier than winning the Premier League. No names of course. They know who they are!
You are about right but the way forward won't be easy. Leaving aside the personal animosity which the name Rudkin attracts the guy has just not done his job. His role implies that he sets some parameters for football strategy. The strategy which Puel has followed is well beyond bad. Just two...
Owners votes of confidence are normally the kiss of death. Anyone who has genuine confidence in Puel is off his head. I get that winning the PL has given us a false idea of our real status but that is far from meaning that we have to be satisfied with a manager who is nailed on to have us...
As you would expect I'm not optimistic! But regrettably tend to be more right than wrong. My reading of the Rafa situation is that he wants to stay at Newcastle if he can get the right financial backing. If he can't and a bigger club than Leicester isn't available to him then it's just about...
Exactly. Bad situation. For the first time ever, I want Leicester to lose a game because I'm convinced that winning a game under Puel is in the worst interests of the club. I'm normally a natural moaner but this situation with this appalling hopeless alleged 'manager' is unique. I would have...
Not sure about that. I agree you can't expect it, but it does happen e.g. Brian Clough transformed several players including Martin O'Neil and O'Neil transformed Savage and Guppy from ordinary to top players.
As for Puel - if Big Mac is remotely right then he has set out to create a trail of...
As far as I can understand you - you seem to be suggesting that Puel has purposely chosen to get bad results to prove to the owners that our players are rubbish and to justify a big clear out. You get top marks for originality but much lower (if any) for common sense.
I think they might be well advised to avoid appointing ex- Southampton managers who have a proven track record of boring fans into giving up watching football.
The Puel out theme has been done to death. Its difficult to conceive of a more misguided manager and its now down to the owners to get shut. But we also know that we need a competent Director of Football and also that there is a group of old guard players who are trouble with a capital T.
The...
Like it or not, no club can realistically get rid of all its players. So Micky is right, you start by appointing a viable manager and I guess a proper Director of Football. Puel has proved to be a simply dreadful appointment but I doubt if he had any support from the hierarchy and the players...
I think that you'd need to be a bit daft not to recognise that Puel was a gonner some time before the kick off.
Problem remains how to find a decent manager.
His decision to play to a style which he knows isn't within the capability of his squad is a bit of a big deal and -in my opinion - will cost him his job, in the near future
Agree with all that.
All the sackings have been well justified. The Ranieri case is the only one that saddened me. In his first season Ranieri played it right hinting (after the Newcastle home game) that his squad was better than he had thought and the success level was unbelievable. In his...
The Palace game should confirm whether or not Puel has lost the dressing room.
I don't think he has learned a lot from his time in England. He needs to moderate his act and try his luck elsewhere - but I suspect France is his natural ground. He is too naïve for the PL - as you imply he's...
Isn't Puel effectively driving Vardy out of the club - e.g. towards a couple of productive seasons with Everton rather then replicating his international experiences with Leicester where he gets no service and isn't likely with Puel's way to get anything better in the future? Vardy thrives on a...
Yes. Surely everyone can see the lack of judgement in slavishly insisting that the players continue to fail because they can't play to the style that Puel wants. The results are very poor and the displays even worse. This isn't a guy who can be trusted to steer the club's transfer strategy...
Puel has absolutely no ability to inspire his players.
If the club cannot recognise he is a total liability then they deserve the pain that he will bring on Leicester City.
