Leicester caretaker boss Rob Kelly is set be handed the job full time. (Daily Star)

Taken from the BBC rumours page.


Hardly the most reputable of sources, but thought I should pass it on. I think most nearly everyone will be behind the idea of keeping Kelly on. Just hope he can do well in the transfer market though, where he has no real experience..

I thought it was Kelly that put Levein on to both Hume and Fryatt?
 
Although CL had to go i dont think he is the our worst manager. It just didnt work out for him.

I love the fact that all the crap players are CL's buys and all the good players are RK's funny that :icon_roll

RK knows the English leagues and the type of player required... it's obvious CL didn't and he probably still doesn't

CL wouldnt have signed the players if he didnt know about the English League, even if RK did suggest them!

I think its a but naive to think CL made every bad decision and behind the scenes RK was making all the right decisions.

Oh come on... it's a nice thought :biggrin:
 
It would be nice to blame one person for all Citys struggles but its just not that easy! :icon_wink :icon_bigg
 
Well next season's gaffer certainly wont be Cotterill....




Burnley manager Steve Cotterill has signed a new four-and-a-half year contract with the Championship club.
The former Cheltenham Town and Stoke City boss was contracted until the end of next season at Turf Moor, but he was in discussions over a new deal with Clarets chairman Barry Kilby.
Both parties have now concurred on a deal that will keep Cotterill with the Lancashire outfit until the summer of 2010.
The former Sunderland assistant manager took charge of The Clarets when Stan Ternent left the club at the end of the 2003/04 campaign, having taken Burnley to a 13th place finish in his first season in charge.
This season has seen the club suffer recent struggles, with Burnley having recorded just one win in their last 12 league contests to sit 17th in the table.
Despite the current woes, Kilby was delighted to secure the services of Cotterill for the years to come.
"We're pleased to have agreed a new contract with Steve after negotiations," Kilby told the club's official website. "I see Steve as the future for this club and I'm sure he will bring us
success and now, we can look forward to some stability."

Don't care... we're above his lot now :biggrin: :038:

Levein said that he'd watched Hume and McCarthy at Hearts but couldn't afford either of them. He also said that he saw Fryatt a couple of weeks into coming here (if anyone remembers it was reported at the time that he was our almost every day watching games around the country).
 
Levein signed some decent players, and as most if not all managers he signed some duffers, but the problem with Levein is that unlike Kelly he was unable to get the best out of them and to play as a unit capable of winning football matches.

I still wonder whether Levein could have turned out a decent manager for us. People talk about tactics and motivation, and i'd say yes those obvious things are vital. But for me Levein came across as a stern man with little sense of fun and humour. I got the impression that they just didn't want to play for the man. In his final game at Plymouth i would suggest that the players knew he was on the brink and the abysmal effort that they produced was the final nail in the coffin. At no stage towards the end did i get the feeling that the players wanted to save Leveins job.
