Christian Fuchs

This is the man who recruited N'Golo Kante for under 5 million, Jamie Vardy for around about a million, and Riyad Mahre, she might have heard of him too, for about three and four points.

He also signed Christian Fuchs on a free transfer and Mark Albrighton on a free transfer.

These were the mainstays of the Leicester City side who won the league in 2016.

About the best thing that happened in that year since the only alternative is to talk about Brexit, which we're absolutely not going to do.

But they forget that it's a sport and you can get relegated and you can play a different way.

And that's why, and I hate to use the term vibes guy, but I would bring in someone like, my personal opinion would be, and again, normally you go for an experienced guy, but someone like Christian Fuchs can come into the club and just come into the club and say, "Look," a, a person who plays sensible football, understands football and can look at this squad and go, "This is more than good enough," in my opinion and hopefully his opinion, who can say to the club, "Look, we can win promotion this season.

This side is good enough.

Let's do what we did before and play to our strengths." Because at the moment we're completely playing against our strengths.

You can kind of bucket them as your, your possession-esque managers who, you know, who have all had varying degrees of success that we want to play in that way.

Um, flipping to, okay, we need stability, we need calmness, we need defensive resolution, we need a Gary Rowett, we need a, a Steve Cooper, you know, someone of that mold, uh, just to stabilize the ship until we can get back to a manager, you know, of that more, you know, like, um, aesthetic philosophy.

So, you know, even if Russell Martin was to be sacked, my main concern would be that we'd put someone in, you know, whether it's Christian Fuchs to get someone on side or whether it's, um, you know, a, more of like a Sean Dyche-esque character.

I'm not sure that he'd necessarily take the drop down the divisions to that level but, you know, someone like that to stabilize the ship.

He'd had a dreadful run of form.

In comes Christian Fuchs, former Leicester title winner himself, narrowly avoided relegation, helping you along the way with, I think it was three wins from the last four games, wasn't it? Stayed up on the last day with a win over Barrow.

Where did all of that kind of sit with your expectations before last season? Is that just the bare minimum that you wanted last season to stay up and that's job done? Yeah.

Yeah, unfortunately, that probably was what I was going to say.

So, we're just desperate for that win coming into Saturday.

We'll talk a little bit more about the game itself a little bit later on.

But I wanted to touch back on Christian Fuchs a little bit because...

Only seven months in charge before he resigned in the summer.

his

name? It's Christian Fuchs, for fuck's sake.

It's Fuchs, for Fuchs' sake.

I had Uwe Fuchs in my head.

Or was he Austrian? I might be wrong.

Christian Fuchs was Austrian.

I don't know if that was who it was.

Close

Close enough.

Next door.

So, yeah, I don't know if he played in the Bundesliga or Christian Fuchs.

So maybe he did have him on with him.
