    Ericson lasted long enough. It wasn't that bad. Before that though they went through quite a few managers quite quickly.

    look at ROI they have a habit of bringing in mangers with a bad reputation (or none i.e.Steve Staunton) and making it worse (McCarthy, Kerr)

    You answered your own question Dan!

    Didn't he graduate from the Bryan Robson school of management?

    I feel a certain sinking feeling. If he had been a #2 at Newcastle and they didn't want him then I guess he's being fed So'ton as a bone. Can't believe the decline.. it hurts.

    wait...is this about soccer?
    I agree. I would have said Miami Dolphins last year, but they are at least going in a positive direction.

    Ian reveals his how his Churchill-esque motivational speeches can also incorporate topical news stories, such as the recent English earthquake:

    I said to our lads 'We lost a game of football last week but what about that bloke who got hit by a chimney?'

    Poor fella, wandering around minding his own business, there's an earthquake and a chimney falls on him. I mean come on, that is bad luck.

    I was moaning about a dodgy penalty last weekend, but I'm a lot happier than that poor bloke.

    + WLDL and it's into the relegation zone for you Ian! Without games in hand it looks like you may be there to stay.

    I don't rate him as a manager at all, he's just too weak a person. My gripe is more with the LCFC board TBH. A classic case of a bunch of clueless idiots ruining a club and just causing misery for the fans.

    and now Trappatoni because we have money now from an investor, before this we couldn't afford any big names, for Christ sake we're ranked 36 in the world why would a big name want to come to us.

    McCarthy was a good manager.

    Yes but I have a hunch that the board in charge at Leicester are actually Coventry fans. The only way to stop Coventry going down is to make sure Leicester take their place! (Aside from the local rivalry...)
