Off Topic Puel Sacked

No suprise there. He's not half a miserable old git.

 

Good news - they can get a replacement in and keep their thieving hands off our manager.

Note - I assume Rafa won't turn his back on us until after his contract runs out

 

They have some winnable games coming up against sides below them, but need some points - their last three are against Arsenal, Man City and Chelsea

 

Rafa one of the favourites I take it?

This being despite his football style beinb pragmatic, defensive and deep lying.... Pretty much what Leicester fans hate Puel for.

 

So City sack another manager.
Trigger happy and impatient it would seem.
Obviously should be challenging for the PL every season now.

 

According to the gossip column David Moyes has said he's interested in the job. I somehow doubt they're interested in him.

 

Can you imagine Vardy's face if Rafa replaces Puel

I don't think we need to worry. Rafa likes it here and our fans don't mind the defensive football. Leicester couldn't stand Puel for it. All the money Leicester has is spent. I don't think they'll be going wild in the summer. Rodgers seems the most likely replacement and best fit. Plus I don't think Rafa wants out here, he has just been backed again for the first time since the Championship season.

 

And here is his reaction to being told that Pardew will be taking over :-

 

I wouldn't imagine Rafa wants to leave during the season, but I've heard no talk about a contract extension for Benitez.

 

Totally nailed on that Brendon Rodgers has the LCFC job.

Which is good news short term for us. The contract situation can be fixed with a strong end to the season, maybe the sale of the club and a new ethos......

Crikey I must stop dreaming..... ASHLEY OUT!

 

I live in Leicestershire and the fans don't want Benitez, they see Pardew as the man who can guide them to the Premier League title again.

 

It would seem so https://www.skysports.com/football/...permission-by-celtic-to-begin-leicester-talks

Given that he's leaving a job as oppose to them bringing someone in currently out of work it's not just gonna be an interim appointment for the rest of the season which means they won't be coming after Rafa anytime soon. Out of the current top 6 i can only see Chelsea looking for a new manager in the summer and I can't see Rafa going back there if I'm honest. I'm not sure what else would appeal to him from any of the other teams who might be looking to change manager in the summer so unless there is something abroad I have a sneaky feeling he'll be here next season.

 

There may be a job coming up at Celtic!!!!!!

 

To all those that said Rafa was about to become the next Leicester boss, including someone I spoke to just twenty minutes ago

 

I'm surprised at your bare faced cheek, if I'm being honest.

 

Aye, it's a right bummer.

 

That hobgoblin Moyes can have that !

 

" jimileysbaldhead, he's a beautiful man "

 

The Mackems are worried that Celtic will come in for Wearside Jack.
