Your Choice

[PFKAKTF FOX]

It is pretty clear and obvious that relegation has drastically reduced the already dwindling pool of potential Managers willing to manage Leicester City plus with the obvious hit to finances there will be a more prudent approach which must be playing a big part in MM's decision making process.

If you were in Milan's shoes and you had only two options available to you which would you choose :

1) Keep an already proven failure in Ian Holloway, giving him the opportunity to put right the wrongs of last season, however realising that if the club don't get off to a flier then the pressure will really mount plus the associated risk of losing potential season ticket revenue from disgruntled supporters.

2) Sack Holloway and take the brave step of appointing the unproven Gerry Taggart as Manager with an experienced Assistant to help him. Would certainly unite the club and get the fans right behind the club which at such a difficult time will be key. However as with any unproven manager this appointment would be a massive risk.

What a choice:icon_conf

If we have the ability to get an experienced man in alongsode Taggart, then we'd have the ability to get someone else in as manager. Doesn't make sense AZ....

 

[Han]

Taggart won't get the job but i'd probably pick him over Holloway.

A failed cnut versus a cnut who has done precisely feck all

Think I'd go for Pickled Onion

 

[MHS]

Taggart as manager would put bums on seats in the crowd, would certainly be a popular appointment.

Doesn't make sense AZ....

It does in his world.

Yes it does, an experienced Assistant will not cost anywhere near what an experienced Manager would cost, and not all Assistants necessarily want to be Managers.

 

[DesertFox]

On which case, I vote for the experienced man alongside Taggs to get the job!

Didn't he have an experienced Assistant alongside him in Barlow ? Have to be Salt and Vinegar for me

 

[homer]

I hope Milan is reading this thread - it might make up his mind for him.......

To feck off forever to get away from you nutters

If I were in Milan's shoes, I would know that things are never as simple as the simplest seem to think. I would also be pleased that I had more than two choices before me and take as long as I felt necessary to take my decision about my next step. Additionally, I would stop trying to base my decisions on the views of fans; I did that once before.

He did, but everything changes - never forget that

 

[drummindefender]

a man who has won promotion in this league or a man who has never done anything in football management... hmmm

Well all I do each night is pray

 

[bocadillo]

Taggart as manager would put bums on seats in the crowd, would certainly be a popular appointment.

It would make people realise that we really are in desperate straits and can no longer appoint anybody with experience.

 

[homer]

Can we have a third option added - doing Pete Burns up the chutney chute

Be an interesting, and difficult, choice, IMO

 

[Melton Fox]

A man who has been relegated into this league twice before, or a man who has never done anything in football management but at least he has the bollocks to scare the players into playing football. These players don't need a tactical genius, they just need motivating.

Spot on Ringo

And neither had Paul Ince, Simon Grayson or Roy Keane until they were given the chance !!!

And it was a hypothetical question to see how strong the feeling was to keeping Holloway or replacing Holloway with an untried Manager but somebody who may just ignite some passion and unity.
