Shakespeare sacked at Leicester
Re: Shakespeare sacked at Leicester
The only way he could successfully rule himself out is by saying something like "I hate that [deleted] club and wouldn't touch them with a ten foot bargepole". Anything less than that would be taken as non-committal.
Re: Shakespeare sacked at Leicester
Getting a point or three at City could be bad news. They will want him then.

Re: Shakespeare sacked at Leicester
Someone somewhere must make a packet out of Dyche rumours. Every time a Premier League manager loses his job, lump a tidy sum on Dyche. The odds drop from 16-1 to odds on, then you can either cash out or lay it on Betfair. Money for nothing!
(Actually, it'd probably work on any manager. The manager betting markets are so volatile that any sizeable bet - say £50 - would be taken as being "in the know", and watch the odds plummet.)

I'm referring to the switch to a better style of football under Martinez that ultimately got them relegated.KRBFC wrote:8 years of PL football for a club like Wigan is pretty remarkable. They ultimately got relegated but so will we at some stage, they delayed the inevitable and clung on for 8 years. Just because they got relegated it doesn't mean they didn't survive the previous 8 seasons.
I'm fairly sure they didn't play pretty football under Bruce and Jewell and they had better league finishes with them...
You want pretty football, but we need to maintain a certain level of ugly football too.

Long shots I could see in the distance...arsenal and west ham are close to the mark IMO.hampsteadclaret wrote:Well it looks like Leicester City is ruled out then..great news.
I trust Dyche, and when he does leave I hope that it is at the end of a season, so that no-one gets messed around.
I will still worry a little though, if any of these clubs dump their manager in the next few months...
Arsenal
Everton
West Ham
- slightly less worried..
West Brom
Stoke
long shots...
Wolves
Aston Villa
[both interesting challenges]
** England [not a club].

Bruce isn't known for playing free flowing football everytime, he usually has a mix.UpTheBeehole wrote:So you're basing all this on a very vague recollection?
Jewell - relegated with 11 points at Derby wasn't it?
Again he will mix it up.
Any half decent manager will, just like Dyche is doing this season.

Re: Shakespeare sacked at Leicester
They survived under Martinez, I like how you're assuming the reason they were relegated was solely because of Martinez's style of play just to suit your weird point. Not every team has survived relegation playing horrible ugly football, its not the only way. We played horrible stuff to get to the PL, why was that?

Re: Shakespeare sacked at Leicester
Your weird point is we should get rid of Dyche to because then we will play better football apparently....
Even though we have been playing some better football with Dyche in charge...
We played workmanlike effective football last season and stayed up.
This season we are mixing workmanlike football with better passing football and we are 7th in the league as it stands.
Don't you like seeing the teams style evolve?
Or is it the simple fact you don't like or want to see it evolve under Dyche?
Even West Ham use route one football when it's needed plus that one touch passing that ended with Pope saving the shot really deserved a goal.
They're mixing styles to get results.......

So they didn't survive then really.
League positions would suggest relegation battles every season and from memory it was.

Re: Shakespeare sacked at Leicester
I read this in today's Mercury, it seems to me to be based on bookies odds and some comments on TalkSport of some pundit who believes Mr Dyche was in for the Palace job in the summer and is therefore looking for another job.RingoMcCartney wrote:From the Leicester mercury
http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport ... ext-648052" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I place more credence in the article posted by Paul Waine (post214) earlier in this thread from which I took three key points:
1. The Leicester owners want a marquee name as the next manager;
2. Mr Dyche was on a list of 37 possible candidates but was not interviewed:
3. The writer Matt Hughes believes Mr Dyche deserves to manage a "bigger" club.
According to Nixon the Leicester owners/DoF want another manager currently employed in the PL - Marco Silva? or Wagner?
That is all my conjecture, I am not ITK.

I read The Times on-line and also get the print version delivered. The Matt Hughes article is shown as published in the on-line version at 12:00pm on 18th. It didn't appear in the print edition today (19th) - (and, of course, was too late for print edition for 18th). I'll take a look tomorrow morning to see if it's in Friday's print edition. Maybe there will be a new report "Sean Dyche is staying at Burnley - it's a better club than Leicester..."

Re: Shakespeare sacked at Leicester
We are talking about your desire to fire Dyche and bring a manager who you hope will play pretty football.
I'm pointing to Wigan giving Martinez the job, playing pretty football and bring worse off as a result.
I'm not talking about the 4yrs with Bruce and Jewell playing effective football, it's the pretty stuff....
You're so dense sometimes it's unreal.

Sean Dyche is not leaving Burnley and taking the Leicester job. Good to know that "family come first" - and that Sean's family can travel up to Burnley.

You also know that 15th could only be a point or two above 17-18th with things like goal difference.

Second: 3 points (16th)

Fourth: 3 points shy and relegated, but won FA Cup.
So that's you proven incorrect there.
Come back when you've got some actual football knowledge, rather than your patronising presumptions and guesses.

Re: Shakespeare sacked at Leicester
Ah actual football knowledge...
I'm merely saying that the manager who supposedly played better football was unable to improve on the league positions of his predecessors and ultimately got them relegated.
You and your mate KRBFC seem to be struggling with that fact.
As for a relegation battle you know full well that a team can drag itself a few points clear towards the end of a season, so even if they're just a few points clear they could've been in the mire most of the season.
Talks about football knowledge and shows gaping holes in his own.

Just because a team finished outside of the relegation zone it doesn't mean they weren't involved in a relegation battle.

In the 2010-11 season they won the last game of the season to stay up.
If they'd lost they would've gone down on goal difference, they were in the relegation zone on the 2nd to last game, but no relegation battle apparently.
2011-2012 season -
"Wigan Athletic were bottom of the Premier League table in March, but seven wins in their final nine matches, including shock victories over Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle, ensured a 15th-place finish for Roberto Martinez's team."
So that looks like a relegation battle again....
So lets talk about having an in-depth grasp of football shall we, assuming you still want to carry this on?

Under Martinez...'on 7 May 2012, they simultaneously secured their Premier League status and relegated Blackburn Rovers with a 1–0 victory at Ewood Park'.
'Coyle (who followed Martinez) left the club by mutual agreement on 2 December 2013 (after six months) having won seven games out of twenty-three and having faced criticism by Latics supporters regarding his style of play'.
