The legendary "Sky Sources" must be having a laugh

Bit harsh. Hodgson is a quality manager - you don't have a 40 year career around the world by accident. Folk seem happier to focus on his speech impediment and the fact that he looks like a startled owl than his abilities, as well as his recent failure with a pish national side I suppose.

Surely Pearson is the man for the job? He saved them once and signed most of the team that brought them glory last season.

Agreed but I think you also have to fit the team. Unfortunately he didn't fit at Liverpool I don't think there was any animosity towards him, it just didn't work.

Similarly I don't think he's a fit for Leicester at the moment, maybe if he'd taken them on before they got into a relegation dogfight .....

Managerial returns mostly end in tears, never go back.

Not for me I dont care what he sounds like and he may have had a 40 year career however it's hardly littered with success. He's been sacked at a majority of his jobs and with Leicester in the position they are in I wouldn't say he'd be a good match for them. Seeing that performance the other night I'd stick with Shakespear until the end of the season. However just my opinion.

Pearson been hired and fire twice by the owners can't see that taking him on again . Certainly don't fancy Roy but there again I'm unsure who I want . I'd like Craig Shakespeare to see out the season

He's had a great deal of success and hasn't been sacked by the majority of sides he's worked for (5 times out of 20 odd I reckon?)

Though I'd agree that he's probably not the right fit for Leicester just now.

Why did Huddersfield persist with three at the back after they scored first!

The cup would be much better for the lower league clubs if each round was settled on the day. Ok, they might get a one off lucrative replay, but that is a short sighted view because invariable the bigger team wins the second match and the dream is over. If they hold on during the tie proper and then have a 50/50 chance of going through on penalties there would be far more upsets and a few football league or even non league sides would progress to the real money and glory stages.

Wenger, Ferguson?

Pep's number 2 at Bayern, Erik ten Hag. Assistant at Twente and PSV, manager at Go Ahead Eagles and Bayern Munich (second team). Every move a step up. Now heading for glory at Utrecht.

 

[martint235]

Wenger, Ferguson?

Wenger was sacked by Monaco and left Nancy by "mutual consent".

Ferguson was sacked by St Mirren but does stand out as only being sacked the once.

 

[AndyRM]

I don't think Jock Stein or Bill Shankly were ever officially sacked. Can't think of any others though.

 

[User482]

Ron Greenwood.

Yes I know fair point and his record is a lot better ish than I thought so fair play to @AndyRM for backing him.

To be fair he did good with Fulham and West Brom so maybe Leicester might do well under him ?
