The last 12 games

What will it be like on a pitch?

Book early for a hook-up.

Who knows. With potentially 6 teams in the Championship with parachute payments next season it would be make it a much harder task to get promoted. Blackburn and Wolves could both go down and Bolton could go up, so it could be just 3. However, I think Blackburn will scrape out of it and should be more competitive next season. Wolves have a tough 4 games and I really think they could go and I really fancy Bolton to go up if they sneak the play offs. So we could be looking at 4.

I still think that at least 2 of the teams coming down next season will be fighting for the automatics. Which makes it that much more difficult to mount a promotion campaign than it has been this season. When 2 of the teams that have been relegated from the Premier League, are again fighting relegation the following season, it makes our capitulation even more embarrassing and harder to swallow.

I don't think that makes as much difference as you're suggesting, since...

But of course...

Bolton could go up, so it could be just 3.

Okay, 3 it is.

However, I think Blackburn will scrape out of it and should be more competitive next season.

I don't see why. They've shown no signs of improving the way the club is run so why should anything else improve?

Wolves have a tough 4 games and I really think they could go and I really fancy Bolton to go up if they sneak the play offs. So we could be looking at 4.

I'm glad you're keeping track, I'm lost :icon_lol:

I don't see why it'd be any different to any other season really. Every year three teams come down from the Premier League and are usually favourites to return. Why will next season be any harder? Because Harry's in charge at QPR?

When 2 of the teams that have been relegated from the Premier League, are again fighting relegation the following season, it makes our capitulation even more embarrassing and harder to swallow.

I'm not convinced by this. Surely if anything it shows that there's little difference between top and bottom in this league and hence any team can feasibly have an extended bad run?

I say again, unless someone can name an available, competent, interested manager then calling for the head of the one we have seems awfully retarded and myopic.

Reall? You actually think it's the job of the fan to provide a list of managers that are interested in the role? Could you tell me how we are able to gether this information and how it is measured?

I always thought it was the job of the club to find a suitable manager, I'm quite sure they would have a better grasp of who is and who isn't interested in the role.

If however there is a webpage or something where we can check the status of each manager and whether they would come to Leicester then I obviously hold my hands up, but I would also appreciate the link so that I can check whether Roberto or Gus would be up for it.

Yes the way Blackburn are run is a disgrace but if they stay up, they've got the finances to compete. They just need to draw a line under this season and start afresh and I think it won't be anywhere near as bad as this one. If they stay up, they'll definitely finish in the top half.

QPR will be in the top 4 next season, They have a squad and the finances that no Championship club can compete with. They may lose some players in the summer, but they'll still be well above anyone else currently in this division. In my opinion it will be like Newcastle when they came down, they'll win the league. People will say that the same was said about Leeds all those years ago but it's a very different situation with regards to the ownership and how they can sustain the club through a season in a lower division.

Spot on, Sir!

 

[Hazzman]

His replacement is vital and will see us kick on or drop into another era of disappointment. However, financially, we cannot sustain the second option. It's the most important managerial selection in our history. I truly hope that we're not relying on a twenty-something Thai kid making the right call here. Or Andrew Neville who has shown himself to be out of his depth with these decisions. We should be employing seriously capable people to investigate and recommend options. If we don't, the owners might just as well burn their Baht as continue to bank-roll us.

.

Why will it change? If we believe Paulo Sousa, he gets an input into the way the club is run. The owners appointed Neville without any competition for such a role. If they did their homework, they could have got someone in of Dan Ashworth's ilk.

My own impression is that next season the spending will stop. Hardly giving a great opportunity to any potential manager. There's one thing these Thai's know and that's businesses and finances (that said no sane businessman would buy a football club and then throw millions in an abyss).

There's one thing these Thai's know and that's how to buy a monopoly business and then milk it for all it's worth (that said no sane businessman would buy a football club and then throw millions in an abyss).

I've fixed that for you.

Nice one.

Back atcha big guy.

No real response then?

None needed, your post was asinine.

 

[M17TT C]

Top post Lako though I do also agree with Mawsley that there isn't any point in change for the sake of it, only if we can improve. :icon_lol:


Also, not sure when people are thinking money = success as it has worked so well for us this year and last etc. Stability seems to fare better in this league but it no one wants that?

Usually stability does bring more success based on the statistical analysis but I'm sure that saying this will start the debate about whether stability brings success or success will mean the manager isn't sacked and therefore brings stability. TBH I haven't a clue what would get the current squad back to playing the way they did in January.

Selling Chris Wood.

Didn't he score most of the goals in January?

January, like the home match against Watford under Allen, never happened.

Agreed based on their squad and finances, but I doubt 'Arry will still be there so you never know how they will perform.

Nine in nine

But everything is his fault, according to some simpletons

Anyone but Pearson, really
