Mandaric Out?

Re: Mandric Out?

Diplomacy. If I had a wealthy Uncle that said 'let me build you a nice house' but then hired a load of dodgy builders, you could take several different courses of action:

1) call your Uncle, ask him when the **** he's going to finish the house and question his intelligence and call him a senile old ****.
(i.e. get him to shoulder the blame)

2) empathise with the wealthy old git and try and get him to hire some decent builders in the hope that you might still get a decent house out of it

3) get the builders to sort the mess out.

Which one would you do?

Option 2 all the way. :icon_bigg :icon_wink

Not for me.

All three but in reverse order.

Re: Mandric Out?

Are you after specific odds, or just ballpark?

Just a realistic guess! How lucky can the old fool get? But remember, there are very few out of work managers of the calibre of Redknapp!

Unnecessarily disrespectful. I am not just saying that because I support Option 2, but rather reflecting on MM's achievements in and out of football.

If I can be the same sort of lucky old fool by the time I get to his age then I won't complain. :icon_wink

Re: Mandric Out?

Disrespectful? As far as running LCFC I certainly do not respect his efforts to date. In any case, he's been called worse by a few other posters on here.

Put it this way, I hope he is successful, but I have my doubts as to whether he will be. That's based on his efforts at Portsmouth without Redknapp, and his running of Leicester so far.

I know and that should stop. Just because he is old is not reason enough to slag him off personally.

To my way of thinking he feels let down, possibly duped, he bought into the stability argument and now he his trying to come terms with it all. He made some bad choices it doesn't make him a fool.

In footballing terms, the man is much more than a mere fool. He's a complete and utter brain dead moron.

In his businesses, he's obviously got a successful formula and done very well. I've complete respect for that. He also works hard, which I also respect.

However, the man has run football clubs now for 35 years and he doesn't appear to have any grasp of many of the basics. He constantly interferes with the playing side of his clubs. He did it with Allen and he did it with Holloway. Making decisions to recruit and select players is not his role. He does it continually.

His other main fault is his ego. It means he's a rent-a-quote owner who yabbers on to anyone and everyone and by doing so undermines players, managers and supporters.

A good club owner should be in the background, intuitive, supportive and a good decision-maker. Mad Mandy is none of these things which is why he is positively working against this clubs progress rather than for it. A few quid in today's football world does not mitigate these failings at all.

I only hope that he's not so egotistical that he cannot see that himself after his appalling cock-ups over the last year. However, I'm not holding my breath.

Re: Mandric Out?

Whether you think it should stop or not, a lot of people think the same.

He bought into Leicester, not through love of the club or the area, but because he thought he would make a pile of money with a bit of investment. However he's made a right pigs ear of the running of the club (proof, relegation to the third level of English football, looking for another Manager, unhappy season ticket holders etc)

The main mistake that Mandaric has made is not being true to his natural instincts.

If he had been true to those instincts he would have sacked Holloway in time for any stand in manager with moderate ability to have steered us clear of relegation. In that case ,people wouldn't be berating him like the idiots are now.

He breathed new life into the corpse that was Leicester City when all we had from other parties and their apologists was empty talk. It has all gone horribly wrong - but it wouldn't have done had he stuck to his usual methods of firing the unsuccessful. There is no evidence that he interfered with team selection or tactics - that talk is all complete b-llocks. he was let down by bad management and disgracefully underperforming and unmotivated players. End of.

If he had been true to those instincts he would have sacked Holloway [earlier].

If he had been true to his own instincts, it wouldn't have been Holloway that he appointed in the first place.

Re: Mandric Out?

So, as the man in charge, he is to blame!

LCFC is in a worse situation now than it was 18 months ago.

LCFC has probably got more debt than it had 18 months ago.

LCFC is a bigger laughing stock than it was 18 months ago.

If I'm an idiot for not going along with the Mandy bandwagon then that's what I am (I won't lose any sleep over that!!)

Re: Mandric Out?

what makes you sure other than hearsay?

The fact that none of the managers wanted to play half of those signings is a bit of a clue.

He made some bad choices it doesn't make him a fool.

Some of his other investments make him look one to me, though...

Please don't. :icon_conf MM shoulders some of the blame sure. I believe the worst mistake MM has made whilst being here was not to sack Holloway sooner.

Diplomacy. If I had a wealthy Uncle that said 'let me build you a nice house' but then hired a load of dodgy builders, you could take several different courses of action:

1) call your Uncle, ask him when the **** he's going to finish the house and question his intelligence and call him a senile old ****.
(i.e. get him to shoulder the blame)

2) empathise with the wealthy old git and try and get him to hire some decent builders in the hope that you might still get a decent house out of it

3) get the builders to sort the mess out.

Which one would you do?

I'd check I was in the will, then push the senile old bugger down the stairs. Simple!

Bang on the money. The man is, as Martin O'Neil famously described another football chair-ego, a footballing ignoramus. This club needs shut of him.
