Tram manager filled at least June 2026 not a chance with the buffoons who run this football club more like July 31st 2027
 
I think we're more likely to get a tram manager, fits in with the philosophy and pointlessness of it all.

But what about the team manager?

Clang,clang,clang went the trolley
Ding,ding,ding went the bell
Zing,zing,zing went my heartstrings
From the moment to League One we fell
Chug,chug,chug went the motor
Bump,bump,bump went the brake
Thump,thump,thump went my heartstrings
Oh for fucks sake, as we feel the car shake
Buzz,buzz,buzz went the buzzer
Flop,flop,flop went the wheels
Stop,stop,stop went my heartstrings
As we started to go, to the division below
How it feels when our universe reels
As we started to leave
With my heart on my sleeve
And as if it were points deduction planned
We had reached the end of the line
 
Top's given himself a(nother unforced) issue. By announcing in November that we are appointing effectively a director of football - and then seemingly doing nothing about it - his hands are now tied regardong calibre of applicants.

What manager will want to join when they know they'll get a new boss soon who'll probably want their own guy in place.

And what Technical Director will want to join knowing he's stuck with a manager only just appointed and he won't be able to change due to PSR restrictions.

Surely to God he has to appoint the new Director and then let him appoint the new manager. But that'll takes weeks if not months.

Crazy situation, but typical of Top'n'Jon.
 
From the BBC:

Maguire said Leicester became "a little bit complacent" with contracts.

Premier League player contracts would usually have clauses which would reduce a salary by between 30% or 50% upon relegation.

It is widely reported that, at the time, Leicester did not insert any.

"They had one bad season and they had no comeback in terms of relegation clauses and relegation avoidance clauses," added Maguire.

"It does seem that these contracts were awarded in such a way that they ignored the existential risk of relegation."

In the 2022-23 relegation season the club were spending 116% of their income on salaries.

It was then 102% in the 2023-24 season, and Maguire said the £107m wage bill was "unprecedented for a second-tier football club".

Leicester may have won the Championship title in 2024, but it came at a cost. A huge cost.

The wage bill of the two other relegated teams was £84m for Leeds and £80m for Southampton. The Championship median average was £29m, said Maguire.

Not sure this was discussed on here but not including relegation clauses into contracts amounts to gross negligence at the very least!!

Key posts remain unfilled. Leicester have no manager after Marti Cifuentes was sacked after just six months in charge. There is no permanent chief executive and no technical director.

This particular fish is rotting from the very top!!

I'm afraid we haven't seen the lows of this charade yet!
 
No chance of a boardroom coup when there’s no buggar else to dislodge Laurel and Hardy.
That’s another fine mess they’ve gotten into.
