Stowell wasn't an all time Leicester great who had actually won things here like Taggs. Makes a difference. Taggs pointing to his badge means something, the likes of Stowell trying it means SFA.

Anything in the range of 40%-45% is good.
So really an average sort of record.
At least he was part of that Norwich side which taught Bayern Munich a lesson.....:icon_roll

Exactly, Taggs has won trophies, played a massive part in the most successful ever City side, played at the top level consistently for years including international football. Far more than any of the current squad can allude to, IMO Taggs would command respect from the dressing room.
I’m not going to be a drama queen and cry or threaten to hand back my season ticket or anything like that. I’ll do what I’ll normally do:
I’ll go to matches, get behind the team, get behind the new manager and support them 100%. If Megson gives us any reason to be criticised after his appointment then so be it. From now on, I do not give a flying **** what he’s done before. All I care about is what happens at Leicester City and I obviously hope Megson is successful for us.
He’ll be getting a welcome to the club from me as a fan and at the end of the day, if he turns out to be the wrong appointment, it’ll be down to Mandaric to sort it out.

I think so too. Milan is very conscious of fans' reactions and will certainly know that the Megson appointment is disappointing and uninspiring to many so he had to com up with a sop to the populace.
We shouldn't focus on speculative issues like whether popular former players are possibly going to be moved up to more senior positions at some unspecified time - what matters is who is in charge now. Also there is no evidence whatsoever to show that former crowd favourites will make potential coaches or managers.
As far as i am concerned: it's Megson which feels like a let down - tho' I appreciate that we fans have an unrealistic notion of the attractiveness of the club - and we just have to hope to be pleasantly surprised.

It was Savage........... but those kind of thuggish out bursts will not make a good manager.

Ah well, as the Irishman said when giving directions " If I were you I wouldn't start from here ", but I shall continue to give the team my full support and hope for the best, as usual.

In fairness Roy Keane was more than a bit thuggish on the pitch, but he seems to have settled into management well, no eveidence to say whether Taggs will be good or bad but one thing is for certain he should not be judged on his ability or style as a player and neither should judgement be passed based on the failings of previous ex players being appointed as manager.
I'm not a fan of Megson. He always cames across as obnoxious in interviews and generally as neither a 'thinker' or a 'people person' (which are the two types of manager you tend to find in the premier league)
He reeks of lower league, petty minded politics and attrtition and not of goodfootball based strong tactical decision making.
If Taggart, Izzet and Elliot have their coaching badges then i'd be ALL OVER the idea of them being involved at the club. It might help to imbue a bit of the spirit of the mid nineties into the current squad.
Having said that the equation of new manager + old favourites + enormous new squad = potential fireworks and upset all over the place.
If Mandaric hasn't thought this through 100% then he needs to hope that these characters can develop an unlikely chemistry quite quickly.
On the bright side. We've got some points on the board and we've got Kaebi and Ferreira looking like they are going to add some serious pace to the 16 and provide some competition to the current midfield. (btw - don't shout it too loud - but someon might remember that Fryatt is a really good finisher if he keeps scoring 4 goals a week in the reserves)
We need to make sure that we batter QPR on saturday and get things off to a decent start.
Nothing makes a new managerial team look better than a 3-0 home win!
COME ON THE FOXES
it's not about the bullshit, it's about being a city fan. We'll still be here when all of this lot have gone. so it's about us, not them.
