Puel out

[Robin127]

If the club decides that Puel isn't the man and they decide to get a new manager/coach whatever you call it, would it be a good idea to replace him, assuming relegation isn't one the horizon, with around half a dozen games to go? That way any new manager would get to work with the players and know what he might need before the summer transfer window.

Really cannot see the fuss about Wagner. I was saying this last year about both him and Silva who is currently at Everton not exactly pulling up roses. I think we dodged a bullet there and I don't think we'd be any better off under Wagner either...

IMO if we cut ties then we should definitely be going for Benitez. He's another struggling under a tight owner but unlike Wagner has vast experience and has both managed and had success at the highest levels of the game.

not exactly pulling up roses.

They're not pulling up trees, or smelling of roses...

Are they smelling of trees then?

This doesn’t explain his wacky tactics at home at all.

This doesn’t explain his wacky tactics at home at all.

It portrays some of the depth of how the tragedy is felt within the club.

Some that aren't close to the individuals of the club, seem to forget.

 

[Feriol]

Also confirms that Top isn't yet chairman.

How totally insulting to charge fans with forgetting the tragedy. Those same fans that created that sea of tributes outside the ground, that queued for ages just to sign the remembrance book, that were breaking down in tears just standing there dumbfounded, that sing Vichais name in every match. The tragedy that brought the City to a halt

They criticise your bumbling incompetence, so you charge them with insensitivity and disregard for the horror that happened

What a nasty cheap shot to take

What the actual **** are you on about? Have you even read the article?

Quite clearly not as he doesn't even reference the fans at all!

No need to try and play a victim to take a cheap shot yourself.

Directly cut and paste from the Mockery:

‘’Claude Puel believes his critics have quickly forgotten the trauma Leicester City are still recovering from and says he doesn’t need a show of support from owner Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha.

Puel has come under pressure from a section of the City fans and within the media after the FA Cup exit at Newport County and more recently the back-to-back home defeats to Cardiff City and Southampton, two clubs fighting for their Premier League survival.

Some supporters may be questioning the direction of the team under Puel, despite their eighth place position in the Premier League, but Puel believes many people have quickly forgotten what the club has been through this season following the shock death of chairman and Khun Aiyawatt’s father Khun Vichai in October.’’

From that he can only mean the press and/or the fans.

 

[Skitzo]

I think it's entirely possible some of the players are still affected by it, especially someone like Kasper who was one of the closer players to Vichai, judging whether or not it's affecting their play is a tough judgement to make

But they are Rob Tanner's words and not Puel's.

If you read the whole article, and the actual quotes from Puel, the only group of people he references directly are journalists.

Any other reference he makes is just to 'people' and never 'fans' anywhere.

“I think also people forgot also what we have been through in the first half of the season".

Are you so naive as to think he isn't including the large section of fans who are showing their frustrarion with him in his use of the word 'people'?

It's an appalling use of a tragedy to try and manipulate people into excusing poor performances. I certainly haven't forgot what we as a club have been through and quite frankly, I don't need a fraud like him telling me that I have. What a buffoon.

Well it is nice of you to not include the very next sentence where he goes on to specifically state journalists.

He probably is making small reference to the fans but it is clear his main gripe is with journalists and people who don't realise the implications of what has happened.

We don't even have a chairman at the moment and people are calling for the manager to be sacked! Is it even possible at the moment?

To me, it is much more insensitive to expect this to happen when the organisation that runs and owns us has suffered such recent trajedgy to someone who would have been so pivitol and crucial in all decision making.

Given the fact we are sitting extremely comfortable at the moment with no real danger it makes it even worse and I would imagine King Power have much higher priorities than this at the moment.

Was the tragedy playing on their minds before it happened? We've been playing the exact same turgid shit for a year now. Pathetic to use that IMO.

You were banging on about it not being to do with the fans. I pointed out your naivety. It's fairly simple.

I too imagine that sacking him now isn't high on their agenda. Does that mean we have to be happy with the turd being served up to us week in week out? Fans have a perfect right to show their displeasure at wasting money to watch a clueless manager pretend he is a tactician. He has absolutely no right at all to suggest anyone has forgotten the events of that night. It's despicable.

And I was pointing out how you can use a selective quote to try and prove your point without considering the whole article or context.

For the whole, he is generally saying we need to support Top in backing him trying to fulfill his father's vision. If you read all the quotes, it doesn't come across as having a rant at the fans at all, especially when the only one group of people he refers to is actually journalists.

You have a right to be unhappy of course, but to expect change right now, I refer you to my prior post.

I think the transfer window for straw men to trash Puel reopened about the time of the Brighton game in November, shows no sign of closing yet awhile, and God knows what depths are yet to plumbed if the current spat is anything to go by.
