32% win rate and a couple of draws would keep Leicester up

Smith brought Villa up and kept them up. He has experience of a relegation battle and he has proven he can keep a team up. What are u basing Leicester being cut adrift on?
If players are looking to leave after the next game how will the manager impact their motivation? Surely they would want to put themselves in the shop window

Not really. They have eight matches left. Winning less than a third of those is two wins. Rounding up, let's say eight points. A couple of draws gives them 10. 35 points is not likely to be enough.
Rounding up would give 9 points and a couple of draws is another 2, so another 11 points. 36 points and considering their GD will keep them up imo
I'm not getting caught on the whole ' Leicester are doomed now ' scenario, just cos I know it will come back to haunt me.
Everyone still worries me until our safety/relegation is set in stone.
But sacking Rodgers for Smith doesn't exactly look like a masterstroke by the club now does it.
You obviously still have a bit of love for Smith and that's why you seem to be biting at these discussions, which I can understand.
I mean he did bring you back up and stabilized you for a season.
But why you care about Leicester ?
or was this the the same for you when Norwich went down !!
Tho apart from that, Tielemans is out of contract in summer so can go where he likes. And as for Maddison/Barnes they will both have many suiters and more then likely leave in the summer either way.
Smith isn’t the worst appointment they could have made but it will be interesting to see how his conservative approach to games will play out and whether the Leicester players will give him that new manager bounce
He only has 8 games left to try and turn things around which is not much time

But sacking Rodgers for Smith doesn't exactly look like a masterstroke by the club now does it..... I agree on this but it looks like they didn't want to sack Rodgers, why wait so long? but in the end had to but without a plan on what to do next.
They could actually save Everton by being ran so badly and having terrible luck.
You think this last set of games will impact any club looking at players. You think tielemans who will be leaving on a free will be running around like crazy.
Same i havent said anything about smith as a manager. Is more about his short term deal and the mentality of the players, who have not played for him before.
Let's hope so
Really do need city to kickstart that off with a total confidence killer on Saturday as they haven't got the worst set of fixtures left after that.
Though, as I'm sure everyone else feels. I'd much rather we kept our own house in order and sorted our own safety out, rather then have to hope for other teams to mess up to save us..

It might do , it’d be close but it might do and I said in a different post he might well keep them up . However the poster I replied to said he’d been ‘impressive ‘ , you’re a Villa fan so you know more than me but I think emery has been impressive 32% doesn’t scream impress to me. If they’d said he might keep them up or he did ok at Villa , I doubt I’d have bothered replying .
That 32% might keep them up , his overall premier league win rate of what 28% probably wouldn’t. The fact he’s won 17 out of his last 64 isn’t the best indicator mind .
If I was a manager I’d be taking the Leicester job because along with West Ham they have no place being down there as their squads are obviously significantly better than the rest of us . If smith keeps them up he’ll have done what he was brought in for but it won’t change the fact I don’t think a 32% win is particularly impressive.
Writing Leicester off because they’ve appointed smith is laughable. It only takes a different view or new ideas to rejuvenate a team.
They have more attacking threat than most in the bottom half.

They’re more than well equipped to survive and they probably should do , with the squad they have it’s a failure that they’re down there . That doesn’t make it a good appointment , even if they get out of it though but I like you I’m not relying on them going down as they’ve clearly been coasting .
