Yep that's him gone now I think. I dunno who they get in though? It's not a big enough club for Poch, he's holding out for something else, so who I wonder?

His team is shipping goals for fun now. There is no way he comes through this international break unscathed.

Under soil heating.
Still can’t believe a lot of our fans on here wanted him at United. It was crazy back then even when Leicester were less shit.

He's a good manager. It's the owner ''King Power'' who is shit since Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha died. Rodgers got them back to back top 5 finishes not long ago which was no small feat.

That’s embarrassing.

We’re on track to concede we’ll over 100 goals.

We’ll relegated if he stays.

Always had doubts about him after blowing that Liverpool title.
Played a half strength Chelsea and went all gung ho, when they really only needed a draw.

He’s downed tools. He’s trying to get the sack.

Getting sacked in the morning, either Poch or Dyche I think will take the role.

Had him and Tuchel to get the sack before Christmas should have placed a bet really

They're not getting Poch to Leicester for goodness sake.
And surely they will think they can do bettre than Dyche!?

I wouldn’t rule out Poch. His stock has fallen and he will be keen to get back into the EPL to show what he can do.

Dyches a decent manager, and I think Poch is an option.

Leicester actually have a very good squad and fan base, they just need investment in the squad.

I'd actually say Poch is a strong strong candidate for the job.

Their keeper is one of the worst I have ever watched at this level. Have to swap him for someone else, their backups cannot all be this bad.

Pretty sure he’s statistically the worst keeper in Europe. He’s dreadful.

I honestly don't believe he is a good manager !!
The team deteriorated when he started bringing in his own players & its fairly obvious he couldn't organize a defence if his life depended on it.
He says all the right things & the press love him but success in Scotland does not make you a great manager.

I will forever maintain that Ole is a better manager than that gowl.
Lets not kick the man while he’s down, that’s cruel.
Ole couldn’t even win us a feckin league cup in 3 years after spending half a billion on players, Ole is not a competent manager.

He has had success in England, also. He won the FA cup. Pretty much the best you are going to get - the Premier League title was a one off, where everything fell into place nicely.

Leicester would be a terrible choice for that, though
Ndidi, Maddison and Tielemans is a top class midfield.

They need to get a defender or two in, and work on a replacement for Vardy in the next window then they can really flesh out their squad and they'll be challenging for Europa League in a season.

They just need a good coach and investment. Leicester are underperforming but they'll turn it around with the right coach and investment.

He's done well at Leicester even though they failed to reach the CL. But it goes to show no matter what manager, if the club fails to refresh a team over the summer and keep adding quality you're going to get found out.

Time to hire a relegation fighting manager :wenger:

Nope, it's mostly Rodgers.

He did get two top 5 finishes, but both of them we were abysmal in the second half of the season, and most of the time our points totals in those seasons would have had us 6th / 7th, so it was more of a case of other teams shitting the bed. I'm sure we also had like the 6th highest wage bill at the time?

On top of that, he has been unable to actually sign decent players, and has mostly relied on players from the Nigel Pearson era (Vardy, Kasper, Albrighton), players from the Ranieri/Claude Puel era (Evans, Tielemans, Maddison, Ricardo, N'didi, Chillwell, Maguire) or players from the academy (Harvey Barnes, Dewsbury Hall).

He's been here for what, 4 years? And who has he signed that actually plays regularly? Castagne and James Justin. He has just wasted so much money on players he doesn't actually play (eg. Soumare, Praet, Perez, Vestergaard, Betrand, Under, Daka, Ryan Bennett)

1 point after 7 games. Has any manager survived that? Not including new managers, obviously.

They've had a lot of tough games(Arsenal, Chelsea, United, Brighton and Spurs), but I still don't think that's a good enough excuse for 1 measly point. It's not like any of these teams are top class either. Arsenal, Spurs and us are just getting started. Chelsea have been shit. Brighton have over-performed because of Potter.

Letting Schmeichel go, and sticking with their back up keeper was a sign how everything was wrong at Leicester.

Player manager Vardy would be a bit of fun, but Dyche or Benitez, is about where they're at right now you'd have thought.

Leicester dominated the ball in the first half and played the game in Tottenham's half. But in the second half Ndidi gifted Spurs a goal which was the key moment in the game imo. Leicester were the better team at that point and were pressing high really well.

But for some reason Rodgers goes too gung ho in trying to restore parity and it works in Spurs' favour where a player like Son who imo is best utilised in quick transitions had a field day with space to run into.

Spurs tactics again were very predictable but Leicester shot themselves in the foot with their own mistakes and naivety in trying to restore parity.
