I think some Leicester fans are happy with that, he’s another one of those managers who can’t play differently. I’d have picked Leicester to go back down. Let’s hope he does take his team down! |  | | |  |

On the face of it this seems a bit like if they'd appointed Vincent Company at the end of last season. If anything Leicester have underperformed given their ridiculous wealth of playing talent compared to most of the Championship clubs.
I think they should have performed similarly to Man City compared to the rest of the Prem. Yet they lost 11 matches compared to Man City's three (admittedly we play eight more games but still a big discrepancy). We only lost 20 in one of the worst starts to a league we've ever known. In comparison 16th in the Prem has lost 19 matches, nearly six times the number of Man City.
Of course he may be a miracle worker at Prem level but it would be really funny if he wasn't. Chels must be paying £10 million a year just in compensation to sacked managers. Plus they also have to pay a release clause to Leicester for a reputed £8.5 million. |  | | |

If I were Chelsea on the cusp of appointing this bloke, I'd start looking for his replacement in November now. |  |

seems a mad appointment even by Chelsea standards, has built a reputation for himself due to working with Pep and taking a very strong Leicester side up |  | | |

Lucky escape for Leicester IMO, that team should have been promoted by a country mile regardless of who was in charge, he's been incapable of dealing with teams that hit them on a sucker punch once teams figured out how to play them in the second half of the season, and they get a massive fee for him to go and appoint someone competent.
I see Corberan has been linked who I think would be a brilliant choice. Although lots of people on the Facebook feeds want David Moyes! |  | | |

David Moyes did a great job at West Ham, made them a top half side and won a cup, would be a good choice for them. Corberan as well as very good option, would be surprised if he stays at West Brom | | | |

Could set up a sweepstake, although i think he'd be lucky to see September. |  |

My mate's a Leicester st holder and he's really happy.
Last season he was infuriated by the "this is way I'm going to play and that's that" attitude of the bloke. |  |

Totally baffling appointment. I have no idea what Chelsea are playing at to be honest. Maybe in 3-5 years they'll have the greatest team in the world and I'll look silly, but their decisions baffle me. Maresca would be about my 6th choice out of all Champ managers from last season, let alone having a choice from across the world.
Could see Corberan going there. WBA have no money and he must be getting fed up. I don't care, as long as it's not Marti. |  |

Maybe "hating" is too strong a word but we all know how frustrating it can be if your manager persists in playing a certain way even if it clearly isn't working against the set up of another team.
That's what my mate was saying during the season. | |

there is a thread on here about hating the playoff winning team and manager, understandable as well. | | | |

He had about as much to do with us getting promoted as I did. | |

The problem that North Battersea has now that any decent manager with a good long-standing reputation and CV has either managed them and got sacked or doesn’t want to go there because they are being told that they have zero say in transfers especially given that it is likely that they will have to sell Gallagher (on the cheap) and Challobah to try and stave off FFP. On which note has there been a decision by the FA on them selling the two hotels on the plot? | |

I remember reading the Leicester Forum 'Foxes Talk' on the evening of our victory against them. They were overwhelmingly against Maresca at that point, the suggestion being that if his Premier League quality players didn't just win them the game with some individual magic, he had nothing tactically against good managers. I bet Leicester can't believe their luck to be honest. He'll be found out pretty quickly |  |

I think he's just not very trendy. English. In his 50s. Done a great job there, but is he the kind of manager who makes a sort of instant impact? Cov sacked him once, then went back to him didn't they? He's been tremendous for them, but clubs aren't that smart are they? | |

Why do we need Begovic commenting on Chelsea? |  |

I gave both hotels really s hit reviews on tripadvisor. That’ll do them. |  |

It felt like the only thing that actually saved Maresca's job was the poor period of form that Leeds and Ipswich suffered. Their fans were calling for his head at that point.... |  | | |
