Regardless, that's £3mil he's spent and **** all he's gotten back. Hardly a tidy profit.

He's got something which, judging by the prices being knocked around for other championship clubs, is worth more than he has paid for it.

On the plus side at least they wont be wasting copious amounts of money on football analysts and the like...

Owning a championship club is not profitable, it's nearly all out-goings. He's brought in a lot of new players and has to pay all of their wages - our wage bill must be astronomical at the moment - plus he has paid off our sizable debts. So, already he's well in the red. Now he's had to pay off the contracts of MA and his backroom staff... It all adds up. To say that he's in it for the money is ridiculous.

As Milan himself once said; "The best way to become a millionaire as a football chairman is to start out as a billionaire."

Agreed.

What the club has needed for years now is leadership and money.

It certainly has leadership now and that includes taking timely and sometimes unpopular decisions. Milan is also prepared to put in a certain amount of money - which is more than could be said of recent predecessors.

This doesn't mean that we have to always agree with those decisions. However, the sort of rubbish in the way that Martin Allen is now being talked up by some people is just ludicrous. Look, he was here for about 5 mins; won one football game out of four and we're being told he is a great manager!

I do have concerns though about a successor. In truth Milan did not succeed in attracting a top appointment the first time round so it's questionable whether he will do any better this time.

Don't speak his name! He'll be back, lecturing us about how management consultants are worse than Satan himself.

Wasn't the general conclusion last time that his wife had it off with one of them, causing him to become very, very bitter?

MM has made a mistake somewhere along the line here, whether it was appointing MA2 in the first place or the decision to part company with him now, one of them was a mistake. I think the fact that he is trying to cover up his mistake as a 'difference of vision' is the thing that has pissed most fans off. It certainly has me.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

This "difference of vision" is a load of bollux. They both wanted to get to the promised land of the Prem. The difference was how and who with. If MA was seen as a bully with players and/or staff, why doesn't MM simply say "I did not like the way he conducted himself". That would be more honest than the this 'vision' crap and might get back some understanding or goodwill from the fans, who like the players do not like rapid change without obvious good reason.

When you sack someone in a normal job you arent allowed to give them a bad reference, so I would say that would apply in this instance....

Not by any definition is a football manager a normal job!

Average time in post 1 year. Working hours pretty much 24/7 6 or 7 days a week. Sacked on a whim. Little compensation unless successfully negotiated on arrival. Make the best of the Chairman's choice of players given to you. It is a pretty crap job for anyone who is less than obsessed by football.

ill obviously never stop supporting leicester city and whatever MM decides to do or whoever he decides to bring in, ill support them 100%.
im not trying to say that MA was an angel or anything because we dont know all the facts of why he was sacked, but i honestly think that MM has made the wrong decision and acted too hastily to axe MA because i persoally think he WAS the right man to take us forward.

I'll second that.
Yes it's true we don't know all the facts but the more I read into it the more I think it's not what we were doing on the pitch that was the problem, it is more to do with difference of opinions between manager and chairman.
Like all aspects of business whether it be football clubs or not the chairman always wins.

WTF are they teaching in business studies these days?

 

[W88DY]

No thank you to Roeder, Jewell or Warnock will do for me although i think we would of been in the top 6 with Martin Allen.
We will be in the bottom half of the table with Glenn Roeder, he has no passion, no character, no sense of humour and very boring.
