Day Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Leicester City has today announced that they will be parting company with manager Paulo Sousa, with immediate effect. Current goalkeeper coach, Mike Stowell and coach Chris Powell, will take temporary dual charge of the first-team for Saturday's match against Ssausagehorpe United at the Walkers Stadium. The decision has been taken as a result of the club's poor run of results this season. The club would like to state that Paulo Sousa is a first-class individual, but that this decision has been taken in the best interests of the club and our ambitions to move up the npower Championship. The search for a new manager begins immediately and the Club anticipates a quick appointment. http://www.lcfc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10274~2171377,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartley Hare Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I was just about to post that one Daveo! Did they sign Liam Rosenior yesterday, I know he was due to sign? Although I don't wish the Foxes too much good will, of course, I do hope that it's a good experience for Chris Powell. One of my favourite players from the Jim Smith days. All the best to him.

Well, Sousa didn't last long, did he? Agreed, best wishes to Chris. Top bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hucknall Ram Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 There was reports that alot of players were unhappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartley Hare Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 It certainly seemed like it, and the Leicester fans I know weren't happy when he was appointed. Really unhappy about Pearson leaving them for Hull too. Not sure what that says about Leicester, but I don't think it's positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Be interesting to see who they get in, without looking at a Leicester forum I know the name that will be on every Leicester fans lips...Martin O'Neill, surely he wouldn't go back would he?

ramification Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Very short sighted to be sacking sousa at this point in the season. That could trigger their relegation battle a little bit sooner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't think so. Although with new owners in there, they might have a pot of money to throw at the right man - that might tempt him. But I can't see it to be honest. How about PJ? We'll give him a reference My tip? Alan Pardew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have a battle on their hands if that little drawf leave the tree huggers. Some want Billy out and Martin in. I know the connection with Liecester and Forest but I find hard to believe he would go to either of them when he did such a great job at Villa and lets be fair the Man Utd job will be up for grabs soon, Furgy cant go on forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derbydan Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 the fact is he played cr4p football at swansea very defensive but no real attacking at fester he's not played good defensive or attacking deserved to be sacked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Wouldn't say he "deserved" to be sacked, with any new manager it takes time for him to get his style of play across to the players, you can't do that in 9 games. Does Hodgson at Liverpool deserve to be sacked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Hodgson at Liverpool deserve to be sacked? No, but then Hodgson's teams don't play the terrifyingly dull style of football that Sousa's teams do. If a team is trying to win then the fans will stick them even if they're losing. If a team is trying not to lose, and can't even do that, well they're going to be struggling.
