I thought Potter would have been a perfect fit for England but it was not to be !! Potter is a very good manager & I think he could save your season but it seems that he wants a higher profile position.

I get the feeling that Potter is not too interested in a relegation battle. He is set for life with the Chelsea money & seems to get lots of TV work to keep him current. Leicester were interested in him at one point but apparently "negotiations broke down"

I realize that managers have a plan on how they would like to play but most realize that initially survival is the goal before style. Get the first year in & get some Premier league money & start building a team to fit the desired style. To take a Championship team to the Premier & think that you can match up with the big boys immediately is just insanity. It seems like a waste to achieve promotion & just piss it away because of your principals.

Cooper was a terrible choice for Leicester & would be a terrible choice for Southampton. He doesn't have the tactical nous to change or influence games !!

We took a lot of criticism for acting so quickly but it definitely was the right decision. Cooper wasn't working for us & a change was needed. You guys could still turn your season around but it will need a managerial change in the very near future.

I've watched quite a few actually but I get your point. Cooper would not be much of an upgrade on Martin even though if I had to choose I would take Cooper over Martin

As a Leicester City supporter I would strongly recommend against Steve Cooper !!! He was one of the poorest managers I have ever watched.

Why would any freshly promoted team agree to that kind of contract, it's just ridiculous !!!

I went back and watched the interview again .... It's disgraceful !!! How do you face the players after spewing that shit.

100% correct !! The player does not have to leave the pitch if the injury he's receiving treatment for was caused by a bookable offence.

We have Leicester fans who want us to lose so that Cooper will be fired !!!

I find that statement offensive.. Are you trying to start an argument ?? 🤣

I get the feeling that that after Chelsea Potter has his sights set on the top half & isn't interested in a relegation battle. Playing in Stoke on a cold January night may not be his cup of tea.

The funny thing is that Leicester fans think that Cooper has to go if Southampton win.

Potter is looking for a high profile gig to keep him in the limelight. He wont want to tarnish his reputation by getting relegated. He turned down Leicester in the Summer but that was when a points deduction looked likely

I'm guessing you were being facetious when you said Puel. But for me Claude is a very solid Manager/Coach who knows how to tighten up a defence .. His player assessment is second to none & I always felt he would make a great DOF. Defence is how you beat relegation ... Not possession football I actually thought that Southampton pulled the trigger on him way too soon

Vestergaard hasn't started for Leicester so far this season due to a "minor knock" but I doubt he would make the team anyway with Wout Faes & Caleb Okoli being the chosen CB's for Steve Cooper this season.

I just get the feeling that Potter is holding out for something bigger. I can't see him joining a relegation contender.

I should qualify my comment by saying that I am 72 but I really don't understand why you would play without a striker when you don't need to. All this talk about overloading the mid-field is bull shit !!

He will be in great demand in the near future as relegation candidates start firing managers.

It's always going to be difficult to find a manager who is prepared to take on a relegation contender team. Leicester found that out when they were trying to replace Maresca. My choice would be Michael Carrick but would he leave Middlesborough ?

Yeah. They would love Cooper after that. I can't see Martin surviving if you lose at home to Leicester. Boring Defensive Cooper against Play Out From The Back Martin. Should be fun !!!

I get the feeling that Potter is holding out for a "big job". Not many managers had any interest in joining Leicester with a large points deduction looming.. I don't think Cooper was attracting too many offers at the time so took it anyway. He is very unpopular with Leicester fans at the moment !!!

I like Cameron Archer but I agree with you that his style of play doesn't fit with how Martin wants to play.

That was definitely the most entertaining Premier league game of the weekend !!
