Time for Levein to go?

[fitz]

my opinion is stop giving a shit and just enjoy the ride. we all know players dont really give a toss, tactics cant make you play so half arsed so its time to accept whatever our fate is and just stick by the lads, one day they might do the same and show gratitude towards the fans.

In fact we have a manager who has achieved 5 league wins all season and is taking is on a nose dive journey.

Of course, we are not in a position to get the best manager in the country, but that doesn't mean we have to put up with a serious under-achiever.
As mentioned in an earlier post, the position will be much worse in terms of attracting a decent alternative if we relegated.

In the real world, decent managers do not fail for so long to get so little out of a squad that should be very viable in a crap division and then turn into winners.

Its well time that Levein was thanked for his services and politely asked to move on.....before we run out of games.

Will this happen? I don't think so. The board is paralysed and seems unable to di anything to safeguard the best interests of the club.

To all those who say why change the manager as there is no one better, I say any of the contributors to this forum could do just as good (or bad) a job so sack him now. Nothing, but nothing to lose.....

we need our foxes never quit spirit again. This was momentarily shown during the spurs match. We need a new hero, someone like Muzzy, or Walsh, or even MON. But we have to be realistic, this takes time, a few years. Currently, we need to be focused on playing. We seem to be scared and nervous when we play. We need confidence, but this is gonna be hard to get with the way we're playing. I do not want us drifting away like Wimbledon have. They were in the premiership 7 years ago, and loock at them now.

I am still positive that we'll survive but we need to work hard. I think that the fans should be called upon to suggest ideas to the club, and tell them what we think, this might even spur them on to do better. Don't worry, I have faith in Leicester City, i'm not 100% sure about CL though his winning record thiss season is crap, and shows that he may need to shift his backside to sum1 else.

Would u guys rather have MA or CL now?

Keep Him. no one better, and I am sure he`ll come good. He's getting a nice squad together and I think this year we will survive and hopefully within 2-3 promotion, and I see all this under CL

by the way

sacking managers doesnt lead to success.

 

[weluvulesta]

does that mean we should have kept MA, i mean, we weren't excellent at the start of last season, but we weren't woeful either.

I don't want to be overly negative, but even after we beat Spurs last week, Levein was straight out saying that we should be worried about Sheffield Wednesday. That type of talk fills no one with confidence. His approach is almost that we should be worried about what other people are doing rather than concentrate on our own game.

We need a manager who instills fearlessness in the team. Someone who says, 'yeah we can go out and do them, lets not be frightened, lets just play our game'.

Levein doesn't instill that feeling in me. When I look at him, and I hear what he has to say after matches I just think 'bottle job'. He is too quick to sing another teams praises and look for reasons to fear them, rather than talking about his team. Often I find him to be very negative.

What is the way forward? I don't know. But it can't go on like this.

If you read these forums Tim Davies or who ever it concerns, in my opinion you are a bottle job too. You like to sit in your comfortable 100k pa job, and look like you are so hands on consulting with the fans, and considering what we all think. Grow some balls and run this club. It isn't show friends its show business! Make some tough decisions its what you are ****ing paid to do. No one wants you as a friend, we want success! (even a modest amount would do)

Put up or piss off!

Sorry for the tough talk, but I'm not afraid to mince words. This is a joke. Fifth best budget with bargain basment management.

nicely put, but there is also another side to me that doesn't want him to go. I'm in 2 minds.

It's not good sense to keep sacking managers - it tends only to lead to further difficulties. However...... nothing was more obvious that Micky was worn out at Leicester and I don't think even his greatest supporter would say that he rates as one of the most tactically astute managers. IMO Micky is a likeable character and agood lower division manager. In noral circumstances Leicester City rates better than that.

As for Levein, well no one wants people to lose their jobs...but his results record in managing the club is simply dreadful and should be totally unacceptable.

This does not mean that he hasn't done some good things e.g. the big clear out and a sensible approach to bringing in younger players. But he can't get teams to play to anywhere near their potential, let alone play above themselves.

In these circumstances, no board with any grasp of its responsibilities should be saying ' we can't get rid of him because we're not sure that we could find anyone better' or 'well. if we close our eyes, we might just avoid relegation and next year the mugs will have bought their STs again and perhaps things will pick up'. Its the responsibility of the board to take the difficult & positive decision to bring someone else in, steady the ship, ensure safety (which frankly should be relatively easy) and then review the situation in the summer.

lets put the cards on the table here we are stuck with cl till at least the end of the season fact ,not happy but like what has already been said get behind the lads its all we can do ,as ive stated in other post if we lose joey we are doomed we missed him and smith yesterday big time ,things are not looking good i know but the first 7 mins we were pure class from us ,then it went to bits ,why god knows ,the players should have been on such a high that we should of had the game tied up by half time ,so cl kept hamil on the pitch ffs why he didnt move hammond on the wing with mdv hume fryatt up front i will never know the only good part of the game was fryatt coming on i tell you what he bloody fast and has good ball control wish we could of had him at the start instead of hume ,there are enough gams left to keep our place but its got to trun around NOW ,yes im one of them that want cl out but you have too look at facts we carnt aford/or get anyone to take over ,i know your going to say yes but yes but yes face it we are stuck with him

The fact remains that Levein set a very modest target this season for himslef, to better last years humiliating season. He is failing miserably. Do the decent thing Craig and resign NOW.

df i totaly agree with you ,will it help though ........which manger should step in if he dose .................... ferking hell my head hurts ..........

 

[Durham Fox]

I dont care, I just think Levein has lost the plot, big time. Leaving Hammill on the pitch for the majority of the game was a joke, he was awful as were Kisnorbo and Mdv. He doesn't know what he is doing, sad to say it but the crowd were right.

Yet more post match hard luck stories, its time to go Craig NOW. I dont care who comes in but this clown needs to go.

 

[newtonfox]

i think cl and hf should get together and sort the team out lol

He will never resign unless he's got another job lined up.

With MK and YV on the coaching staff...:icon_wink

 

[Durham Fox]

Then I suggest we muster every penny from every account and investment we have to pay the fooker off. How it comes to this I have no idea, he should be sacked for being unable to do his fookin job properly.

Sell Joey, pay the useless jock off.

 

[SilverFox]

Then IMO the board should be looking for a replacement right now behind his back. Then when it looks like someone would be interested we push! It might cost a few bob, but the cost of relegation doesn't bear thinking about.

 

[Durham Fox]

Adams was pushed, I feel sure of it. I suggest they apply the same pressures to Levein.

 

[Durham Fox]

SOS call to Martin O'Neill - Its just a couple of months Martin, come and do us a massive favour!!!!

 

[SilverFox]

Perhaps with a big long stick!
