Here are some more of your comments about the probable appointment of Ruud van Nistelrooy as the next manager of Leicester City:

Phil: Bit of an unknown so therefore a risk, but an exciting one! Only time will tell, but if the board have got this one wrong then Leicester could slip into second-tier oblivion for some time. Fingers crossed it works out.

Tom: This is a great forward-thinking appointment. Steve Cooper never really had a chance to impress, but I always felt it was not the right appointment. This new direction has a special feel about it. Some much needed va-va-voom!

Alan: It's a brave, ambitious move by Leicester; however it's not without risk. He's inheriting the basis of a decent team but one that needs some key players replacing. Fans can be fickle to say the least but he'll need time to get this right. Good luck to him and hopefully the club will be prepared to give him time.

Vin: Positive move by our chairman Top. Positive coaching style of play and ambitious young coach. We desperately needed direction and hopefully the signing of Ruud will benefit us immediately in that. Looking forward to having him here.
