Why Cifuentes was the pick of the bunch

So let's get back to proper football, shall we?

Leicester fans, how are we feeling after nine games and two international breaks? Third in the table, 16 points and only one loss.

Marti Cifuentes must be really glad he didn't turn down the club after being linked. What I mean by that is most managers, and I'm sure it is their agents earning their money, that were linked with Leicester recently haven't been doing that well.

How pleased were we that Russell Martin ended up at Rangers? 123 days, 17 matches, five wins, one league win meant the sack, and he became the shortest-serving permanent manager in Rangers' history.

Graham Potter, often looked at by our owner, only had six wins in 25 matches for West Ham and was sacked with the club in the relegation zone. They were 14th when he took over.

Danny Rohl, most fans' favourite for the job, remains unattached after his exit from Sheffield Wednesday, although he is in the running for Russell Martin's old job as well as a couple of German teams. It's telling that clubs are not beating their way to his door yet.

And let's not go into Sean Dyche or Gary O'Neill both of whom, like Rohl, despite links are both still out of a job.

The only manager linked that has finally got a job is Chris Wilder, who's managed Sheffield United more times than VAR has got a decision right. (Once in the FA Cup final of 2021).

So next time we complain that we only managed four draws out of four games just think of Bullseye.. here's what you could have had. Also, I think we would have dreamt of that form last season.

On a personal note, RIP Milan Mandaric. Saved our club and started the dream.
