On your bike, Puel. Who will replace him?

Leicester City have sacked Puel, yesterday's humiliation v Palace being, I suppose, the last straw.

    Next Manager?

    Early jolly is Brendan Rogers. A mid division Premier League Club is a huge step up from Celtic Manager, which some might argue is akin to being in the Championship, but I think Rogers would be a fool to even consider it, & Leicester City surely want better than him.

    Here's the Oddschecker.com prices on the market;

    All very well in theory, but who is available? He is better than most of the people mentioned. Leicester have a very good young team who have the potential to be challenging for the top four, and owners who are prepared to invest in the team, but if the wrong appointment is made it could all implode which would be a crying shame for fans like me who have endured 40 years of yo-yoing between the top two leagues, then witnessed a Premier league miracle win we never thought possible.

    Player power gone mad. He should be sacked but we all know Sarri will be the fall guy.

    Should be fined the maximum, suspended until the end of the season, & then sold.
