Dean Smith in talks with?

[Canaries north 155]

Leicester apparently 

[cambridgeshire canary 7,797]

Poor them

[Trevor Hockey's Beard 606]

I can only think that getting relegated is some kind of tax ploy on the part of the owners. The fans will need something much stiffer than tea in their mugs to watch his brand of football take them down.

[Branston Pickle 4,149]

Good luck to both. Didn’t work out here, I don’t see why some seem to think he should go into hiding for the rest of his life. 

[Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,615]

It looked like Jesse Marsch to Leicester was nearly a done deal yesterday before it collapsed, and I don't think he's any better than Smith as a candidate. 

If I were a Leicester fan, I'd be unenthused by either of them, but they definitely need someone in as soon as possible because they're just drifting further and further away from safety. 

If Shakespeare goes with Smith, as I imagine he would, then it's worth remembering he had a hell of an initial impact when he took over there after Ranieri.

[Channon’s Windmill 416]

Ha ha not a chance unless the really want championship football.

[king canary 8,754]

Good for him I guess? 

It didn't work out here, I wish him no ill will going forward but I doubt Leicester fans will be enthused at this.

[GodlyOtsemobor 2,830]

Thoughts and prayers for the leicester fans and Gary lineker. 

[GodlyOtsemobor 2,830]

Although a question now springs to mind.... If he keeps them up, does that... Does that mean WE really WERE the problem??? 😮😮😮 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

😂😂😂

[keelansgrandad 6,680]

Surely they must have even asked Steve Bruce before Smudger.

[Graham Paddons Beard 2,789]

Advanced talks now apparently . With Shakey and John Terry. 
 

Leicester need three wins. The dead cat might come back into play. 

[hogesar 10,762]

Good opportunity for him if he gets it.

[Capt. Pants 5,008]

 Hope they go down tbh.

[Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,615]

Done deal, apparently. He has certainly landed on his feet with this; keep them up and he probably gets the job the full time, fail and then it'll be a decent Championship job.

I do now. No idea why . A completely irrational thought . 

[Making Plans 957]

Wagner would suit them down to the ground

Please

[Tommo 51]

Done deal with Terry and Shakespeare joining him according to sky sports. 

[K Lo 246]

I'd only wish Dean Smith on one club and it isn't Leicester.

[Ken Hairy 4,272]

It's only an interim role, they'll be looking for a full time replacement in the summer according to Fabrizio Romano 

[AJ 1,358]

My word Leicester really are desperate. Is the idea that if it goes wrong a club legend in Shaky will soften the blow? That's the only logical thing I can make of it anyway, they can't have seen much in his Norwich tenure to suggest any success

Their squad is rather better to say the least and they’ve got Wolves, Leeds, Everton and West Ham to play. 

[WD40 726]

Amazingly its been confirmed…

[dylanisabaddog 6,133]

Interesting to see that John Terry has also been appointed. Makes you wonder if Smith tried to bring him here

[canarybubbles 2,199]

Leicester have done what we should have done when we appointed him - given him the job until the end of the season.

When Smith was here, I often saw posters say that he was an unlucky coach. I totally disagree - he's one of the luckiest coaches ever. He landed a job with a fantastically well-run club - Brentford - who were willing to let him be mediocre for three years. Then he got the job with Villa and a squad which included Grealish and a host of very good players who almost anyone could have got promoted, he avoided relegation due to a freak technological glitch, when he was finally sacked he walked into a new job a few days later, and now he has the chance to revive his career with a squad that looks a bit better on paper than several of their rivals around them.

He might not have much in the way of managerial ability, but his interview technique must be stunning.

[BroadstairsR 2,273]

He's come out of his dismal spell at Carrow Road smelling of roses.

If fact, his stint at Norwich has actually enhanced his career. He is better off.

Unbelievable.

I suspect it's more to do with Shaky being ex-Leicester royalty

[Canary Wundaboy 1,423]

With the benefit of hindsight at the end of this season, although Smith never fit in here or attempted to make any connection with the fans, the suggestion that he was 100% of the problem and that this squad would be romping the league with anyone else in charge has proven to be well wide of the mark. 

[Mello Yello 2,572]

Hope all goes well for Deano an' his crew at Melting Mowbray land....

I don't really....

[Payno10 52]

What on earth are Leicester thinking!!!!
