There was lots of hard work undone by claudio, he doesn't believe in sports science, shrinks etc which pearson always did and hence why we were one of the fittest and mentally focused sides in the miracle year, the season after we looked absolutely knackered. Looking at his history he has a habit of coming in having a great season then going downhill quite quickly.

Whilst none of the players were playing that well the tactics which had always been a strong point for claudio were dire, he set up to defensively and the hit and run tactics of the season before only worked so well because we had kante stealing the ball and catching them on the break. Unfortunately this has Co to used this year and we just look like we have no plan or direction. There were quite a few articles and interviews with people around the club at the time but didn't get much publicity as the headlines weren't as exciting as snakes on a plane!

I also think there is some issues within the club with rudkin but who really knows what goes on behind closed doors


Not a clue who will take over, I certainly ky wouldn't rule out a return of Pearson one day! Already got his foot in the door!
I read elsewhere that Rudkin wasn't liked by Pearson, Ranieri or Shakey, but because he is so well in with the owners, he won't be getting shown the door. Also seen that the owners walked in on shakey and gray having a barney in the changing rooms which they were not impressed with.

Out of the list of names that have come out of the woodwork for the vacant position, i think it will come down to Dyche or *Shudder* Coleman.

I'm sure dyche would probably do a good job, but I'm not sure he'd leave Burnley, and I hope he doesn't come because I can't stand the bloke 😂😂😂 then again if he wins us the champions league then I'm sure I may change my mind, he can no longer spin the money excuse though!

A really useful win (2-1) against Swansea gets us out of the relegation zone - who needs a permanent manager?.....

Exactly. Permanent managers can do as much harm as good.

Good luck.

Well that is a good start for our new manager...2 - 0 against Everton, with Vardy and Gray scoring in the first half.

Apparently a "ding dong" match against Stoke, which ended 2 - 2, with Peter Crouch getting the late goal. So our new manager is settling in it seems.

Schmeichel saved the day, some fantastic saves in there, particularly the one in the last 10 seconds that could have taken the point off us.

We go again after international break, hopefully Claude will have the players more used to his tactics by then.

Well the loss to Man City was not unexpected, but we were not disgraced by a very strong side - and it was a good game. Will we be able to get a win in our next match?

Another tough match against Burnley - but the Foxes are gaining in confidence and our Manager is doing a good job it seems.

So it seems. But it could be a bit of 'new manager' effect, where the players put in the extra yard to impress the new boss and help keep their name on the sheet.

It helps if a game is televised live too. It seems to make players come out of their shell.
