Sheff United rumours or who I think they shud sign

Very poor style. You're not meant to admit that.

Milan Mandaric has set his next Leicester City manager a two-year target to get the club back into the Premier League.

Ian Holloway was sacked last weekend after Leicester's relegation to League One and former Derby manager Billy Davies and ex-Burnley boss Steve Cotterill are among the favourites to take over.

Leicester chairman Mandaric wants to make an appointment by early next month but said: "I had a three-year plan to go to the Premier League and now it is a two-year project and the right man will be able to do that."

sorry if this has been posted elsewhere.

Leicester City Rumours

Milan Mandaric has looked at a list of potential managers and one name has really stood out for him, that name is Lawrie Sanchez, expect Milan Mandaric to appoint him by the 15th of June if not before.

Leicester will now sign Asmir Begovic on loan from Portsmouth, this will happen very soon after Sanchez is appointed and will also sign Dusan Basta, the Serbian defender could sign a few weeks after Sanchez is appointed.
Andy Todd will sign from Derby along with Darren Moore, these will both happen shortly after Sanchez has been appointed.
Out will be:
Henderson (750 k) Southampton
Hume (1.5 million) Birmingham
Sheehan (Free) Leeds
Mcauley (1.5 million) Queens Park Rangers
N'Gotty (200 k) Sheff United
Mattock (1.5 million) Wigan

Kisnorbo will not sign for anybody until January due to injury
Thanks MM.

I wouldn't be too displeased by Sanchez. I would think he's a better lower league manager than he is in the Premier League as he showed when comparing his time at Wycombe to Fulham.

He didn't really do that well at wycombe.

Well enough to beat us and begin our decline. Maybe that's what we need, if Sanchez became manager it would be 'karma'.

Our decline began from the day peter taylor took over not the wycome game

The Bradford game was the beginning of the end. :icon_conf

The 'end' is the critical word.

We need to be positive now and regard relegation to the wilderness that is the Third Division as being as bad as it gets.

We should have sunk low enough now for someone to come in and start getting some decent results. I have never heard the various chairmen of the club say anything but that the next managerial appointment is the most important in the club's history. And this cliche is actually always correct if you take the view that only the future matters.

In my view the critical factor is that the next manager has to be a hard case - no more clowns like Holloway or Mr Nice Guys like Kelly. Grayson doesn't seem to have that much about him compared with Davies or Ince - and I know next to nowt about what Lambert is like as a manager except that he seemed to have a bit of sense in getting out of Wycombe whilst the going was good.

absolutely, we need some bollocks. im glad milan has come out and promised to put things right and admitted his initial plans failed, but prem in 2 years? out of our reach and i wouldnt envy the manager given the task of doing it. but we need to stop feeling sorry for ourselves and blaming ollie or mandarich, and just find a manager with broad shoulders that can handle the weight of this club. i think alot of people will agree that we dont need mr. nice guys or funny quotes, just someone who can work with the opportunity he's given

I can't hold on much longer...

sanchez yes please. first name i've heard that has ticked my boxes!

What boxes would they be? Surely any box that he could tick, Billy Davies could tick as well. Having said that, I don’t think Sanchez has the proven track record of successfully managing at club level in the way that Davies has.

Sanchez to me falls in to the Peter Taylor mode - not in the sense that he is a grade A wanker who needs to painfully tortured by some Iraqi insurgents – but in the sense that his whole reputation is based on what he did at International level and not at club level. Sure he did a very good job with Northern Ireland but he did not exactly pull up any trees at Wycombe. Sure he beat us in ‘that’ game but one cup shock does not make you a great manager. Being successful week in and week out over the course of a season does and he has never proved he can do that. At Fulham he was a disaster. If we can equate what he did at Fulham and what Davies did at Derby last season, again Davies did a much better job in my opinion. O.K., Derby were clearly shit and ill equipped for the Premier League but so were Fulham and both clubs were starting from very different points. Derby had a championship team and very little money to spend. Sanchez had a Premier League team which he quickly spent millions and millions of pounds upon to turn in to a not very good Championship team.

You mean they are leaving the Walkers for a lower capacity venue? ..... the description fits my bathroom

Steady on London; that treatment would be far too good for him...
