Leicester update as chairman seeks Rodgers replacement

‘Poch’ and ‘Rafa’ are interesting options. On the face of it, both are stars who could completely change the destiny of the King Power club. Pochettino is a team builder, and should a move be made for the ex-Tottenham manager, few would be disappointed, an 8/10.

Benitez would be more similar to Dyche in his impact on the side. He would steady the ship well, yet I doubt the longevity of Rafa as a possible gaffer for Leicester. Kuhn Top should listen to Thomas Bradley Alderman when he suggests steering clear of the former Newcastle United man. A manager actively asking for work is not necessarily a good sign.

Everything depends upon how much money is available and what cost each would bring with them. Dyche would be the most fiscally shrewd, with lower wages and a high positive impact on the work rate of an already well-developed and technically-gifted squad. However, Pochettino is the most potentially destiny-changing of the candidates.

As such, although Frank tops the list, I would still like the King Power club to lay out a similar amount of cash to the under pressure coach, and seek to employ ‘Poch’. Scout him out, impress him with a vision, and get Rodgers out.
