Vote Now Your Tossers

[alex]

Ha ha, another Alex poll, this is a tricky one now I think, imagine if Kelly got laid off should we employ Newell?

I have kept this poll as just Kelly vrs. Newell, as I think the result will be more interesting based on these two choices!

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

hmm its a tough one, I'm hoping we keep Kelly on at the club but I'd say bring Mike Newell in if we can get him, if not, just keep Kelly in as manager, hes doing a fantastic job at the moment.

 

[Scarby]

I would keep Kelly, but he doesnt want it does he! so Newell would be great

Doesn'\t seem he does!

Still, don't let that affect your votes - this is who YOU want.

 

[No.6 Muzzy Izzet...]

without a doubt i'd stick with Rob Kelly, maybe he'll prove he's capable enough. though it'll also give us time till a decent enough manager becomes available.

 

[Brauny Blue]

Rob Kelly is in a no lose situation at the moment and maybe the fact he's not gone allout for the job seems to make me think that he's not so confident of taking it on full time. A couple of defeats and the with crowd starting to moan and groan and it would probaly all fall apart for him. Newell would be a reasonable choice but i don't know whether i could tolerate the only manager in the league thats got as little charisma as Craig Levein.

Totally agree.

 

[highland fox]

Seems Kelly will only become Manager if the Board ask him to,he won't ask to be considered himself.

Kelly has done very well, and the decision as to whether he should be appointed full time is a very tricky one. He could be the next Billy Davies and if appointed go onto to become an excellent manager for Leicester, but also remember he is in a honeymoon period, nothing to lose and everything to gain, and with most managerial changes you tend to get a positive reaction very early on. It would be a very big risk to appoint RK long term on the back of 2 victories, please bear in mind that we are talking about in comparison appointing manager's with proven records over 100's of games.

Newell on the other hand is a proven manager with a good track record, and therefore appointing him would be the more sensible option, but who is too say he will have the same positive impact on the squad, Kelly does seemed to have unearthed a new found togetherness amongst the squad, would an outsider like Newell be able to maintain and build on that.

The decision is an extremely difficult one for the board, however IMO we should appoint Newell, as he is proven and is a very good, young and upcoming manager, whilst Kelly is unproven, however should the move for Newell fall through, rather than make a panic appointment then RK should then be appointed to the end of the season and then the situation revaluated at the end of the season.

I just don't know anymore! I like everything that he (Kelly) is saying. Agree that it would still be a big risk, but regardless of whether he is appointed as manager or not I want him to stay in a coaching capacity!

Well done RK!!! And if by some wonderful chance we stay up, your contribution in probably our darkest chapter (for at least 15-20 years) will not be forgotten!

Saying that though Silv, appointing any manager is a risk, but I agree with you that RK has been a revelation, he has united the club and fans, and the old spirit is returning. The bloke has a genuine affection for the club and sometimes that can mean more than any fancy dan tactical system or formation.

What it does appear to me is that CL obviously didnt listen to Kelly very often, very similar to the Craig Brown / Billy Davies scenario at Preston, it appears Rob shares a very different view on tactics and team selection.

 

[Dangeruss]

IMO.. keep RK till the end of the season and then try to get newell

Tactics that get results, back to back wins prove this.

Did CL ever get wins on the spin? Webbo.....

 

[DesertFox]

Newell - he was my first choice all along. And keep Kelly. And get Lennon in the summer.

Feckin yeah! We're on the way back!

i agree with you ................shite we mite even go bk to the prem next season

 

[alex]

So. 50/50 so far eh? Interesting! The fact that RK has even said he wouldn't want the job hasn't perturbed some from voting for him. No mroe rocking of the boat? If it ain't broke?
Here's a point to ponder though, some have said 'get him in the summer' however this may be too late; in the summer I'm sure bigger fish could circle for Newell; whereas they'd be put off if he was under a massive contract here! Risk..

Not this season. Think he managed it once last season, if memory serves.

I would like to see Newell in at the end of the season. With Kelly as his assisstant.

But Mike Newell isn't going to wait around for us until the Summer is he ? Its now or never as regards Newell

Tis true Highland, I think if we can get Newell then it is too good an opportunity to miss, but if it doesnt happen like Cotterill, then I think we will be in safe hands until the end of the season under Kelly, then reevaluate in the summer, who knows who may be available then. Either way I would feel very positive with either of these in charge.
