Not surprising

[Rush 82]

Twats could have waited for after City - Puel knows how to play against the Top teams

On the other hand hopefully the players will give their all for a new manager, they can no longer not turn up at games.

[Crosby Nick]

And for once it’s not happened just before we play them.

Can see why though, letting aHodgson side put 4 past you.

[Kenny's Jacket]

Wonder if Rafa would go there.  You couldnt blame him

[OsirisMVZ]

Their fans seems to want Rafa or Rodgers, so some sort of attacking football at least.

What this means for FPL players is that you should go all in on Vardy for the next 5-6 game days

[Clayton Bigsby]

That job is the biggest poison chalice in history.

[Crosby Nick]

Don’t think he’d leave Newcastle mid season. If he walked in the summmer you couldn’t blame him but don’t think he’d ditch them before making them safe.

[El Lobo]

Half the rumours seem to be Rafa in the summer and the other half seem to be Rodgers has already agreed to take over in the summer.

Appleton as caretaker until then I’d have thought

Didn't they beat us first game after Ranieri got sacked?

Watch them give their all for the new manager now.

[disgraced cake]

Can't believe he lasted this long. Hopefully no more jobs for him in England soon.

[12C]

That job is the biggest poison chalice in history.

I can think of a more bitter potion...

[Agent99]

Not sure why he got the job in the first place.

[MrGrumpy]

Pardew, Moyes and assorted other crap good old boys like this.

[12C]

Their fans are so modern.
They blamed Ranieri who won them the title
They loved Shakespeare and then hated him when he didn’t do what Ranieri did.
Now we see Puel who is comfortably keeping them in the Premier league getting sacked because...

Weirdly enough, this is the same thought I've had. They're currently in 12th in the league. What exactly are their fans wanting them to do?

[OsirisMVZ]

They are 8 points from relegation but haven't won a game since new years day, they're getting closer to the drop than the brass ring 7th place. Also the only team they took a point off since Jan 1st was us FFS.

[Dim Glas]

compete for Europe I would assume.  And maybe not get knocked out of the FA Cup by Newport 

They have spent almost 300 mill in transfer fees over the last 3 years, I thinky they want to be competing for European spots. They do have quite a talent squad, far better than their league positon suggests.

And of cousre, there is always the aesthetics with fans, they probably prefer less shit on a stick football considering the investment in the team.

[goalrushatgoodison]

They're a point behind the Ev ffs

[12C]

So despite him rescuing them from relegation and getting them to mid table? They lost Kante, then Mahrez. Two huge holes to fill.
The problem seems to be with some of those players not doing the business. They seem to think they can just roll up and not put in a shift. Plus Vardy seems to be a busted flush.
They stopped working for Ranieri. They tried for a while with Shakespeare, then couldn’t be arsed. They pulled their socks up with Puel and now can’t be arsed.
Who next? Fat Sam? Or Pardew?
As said by others it’s a poisoned chalice.

[Floydy]

in my humble opinion Leicester City and their fans are the living evidence of the modern football fan or disciples of the sky generation. Seriously . i mean they were nearly relegated a few years back, to become PL champions, teh reality is they are just a mid table team, not  even the best of the rest. Their self importance and arrogance actually offends me, they define a small time club with small time fans and attitude.  Maybe they should get Rebecca Vardy in charges as next boss, she loves the fucking  limelight and will no doubt love her ugly mush grabbing all the attention as usual.  Seriously hope this lot just  get  relegated they are simply annoying and unimportant. Flush em away please, they are starting to smell.

The problem is when you've had 3 different managers spending that amount, but not giving any one of them the time to build their own team.

exactly my point in my  earlier post, even the peopel in charge have this attitude of instant  gratification and sense of entitlement. Amazing what a fluke PL win can do for your entire DNA isnt it. 

[Dim Glas]

Oh I agree. And as pointed above, there are other issues at Leicester with players seemingly ruling the club a bit too much. Schmeichel and Vardy probably being the two that rule the roost.  Hell, you had Schmeichel's dad slagging off Puel last week on tv, which is ridiculous, how on earth that helps anyone I dodn't know.

I think maybe there would have been more patience if he coached better football - they do have some very good players, it's not like he's stuck with players who only understand one way to play. Fans tend to be more tolerant if they can enjoy the games more. Also getting knocked out of the cup by Newport, and also basically not bothering to put a strong team out vs Man City at home in the league cup didn't help either.  Deep cup runs would maybe have helped too. With all the bigger clubs who don't bother with cups, always a good chance to get to a semi final or even final.

Depends what you mean by modern, because they’ve been this fickle for as long as I’ve been aware of football 

Puel is dreadful though, the football is shite, the signings have been god awful and he’s comstantly just choosing not to play people who surely couldn’t be any worse than the ones he’s picking. They’ve had shit all in CM all season but he gave Iborra and Adrien Silva about two games between them. And pretty much fucked off a good chance in both cup competitions to erm...be mid table.

[dudleyred]

Think what really annoyed Leicester fans was rotating for the Cup. Safe as houses in the league. Give the cup a go

Also soon as he fell out with vardy puel was done

[Pheeny]

Strange that the whole country hated Rafa when he was at Liverpool but now most of them want him as their manager...

[Mutton Geoff]

I would love them to take a punt on a good young coach from a lower league but it will be probably one of the people on the Mangerial Roundabout , Fatsam, Hughes, etc.

[bird_lfc]

Proving to everyone what we all knew already - Newcastle fans have taken to him almost as much as we have and although Chelsea fans won’t admit it - he did a very good job there

His reputation in this country deserves to be higher

In terms of Leicester, I reckon this has got Rodgers taking over in the summer written all over it

[Lush is the best medicine...]

If Rodgers is next then this summer would be a good time for Wes Morgan to retire

This. A hundred times over, this. Entitled c*nts.

[I've been a good boy]

Quite a toxic club these days, it's clear the players run the show. Their fans are also, as mentioned, entitled c*nts who won the league via a miracle and now they think they belong up there every season. Be lucky to get Europa League.

[Ratboy3G]

Nothing surprises me with Leicester anymore, but can't see Rodgers going there until at least the summer

[Barefoot Doctor]

Scottish media reporting that Rodgers has left Celtic to take over at Leicester.

[Barneylfc∗]

Find it odd that he'd leave before securing another treble.

I'm assuming you mean the end of the season and not this moment?

[Qston]

I'm assuming you mean the end of the season and not this moment?

Nope, leaving now with Neil Lennon taking over at Celtic until the end of the season according to stuff online

[Barneylfc∗]

I'm assuming you mean the end of the season and not this moment?

Immediately

[BobPaisley3]

I'm assuming you mean the end of the season and not this moment?

Would imagine so. Craig Shakespeare for the next two months?
