    Stein, O Neil, Rodgers in that order. You could argue that Strachan is an honorable mention.

    I see he's going through his after two year at a club struggles.

    Leicester will be in a relegation battle next year or the year after if they stick with him.

    I don't want to downplay Lennons achievements in his first stint, however he bottled the league in his first season and was 15 points behind the huns before they imploded due to being on the brink of death and only managed one double in 4 seasons.

    Second stint he obviously won a treble in the first season but with the absolute shitshow the season after, I believe that was more down to the quality of our sqaud and the players still trying to play like they did under Rodgers. He literally came out and said he didn't intend on changing anything Rodgers had done tactics/training wise.

    Only place Lennon excelled compared to Rodger was in Europe however what would you rather, getting to the last 16 twice or absolute domestic domination with 3 trebles in a row. I know what I'd prefer. Rodgers was head and shoulders above lennon.

    People talk about Rodgers’ European record as not good but it was actually quite the contrary.

    In the 3 seasons he got us to the CL twice and had European football after Xmas in the latter two seasons. Some good results against quality teams like Leipzig, Man City, Gladbach, Anderlecht away, Zenit Home and we genuinely went toe to toe with Barca at home and Bayern Munich at home rather than parking the bus.

    People say we got pumped in Europe but the only club that done us like a kipper was PSG really.

    Incidentally, the CL was and is so much more difficult now than it was in Lennon’s years. You just need to look at the quality of the teams in Rodgers’ group stage and Lennon’s.

    Lennon:

    Barca (obviously one of the best Barca teams ever)
    Benfica
    Spartak Moscow
    Ajax
    AC Milan (the worst AC Milan team in history potentially)

    Rodgers:

    PSG
    Man City
    Barcelona
    Bayern Munich
    Gladbach (was really impressed by how good they were tbh)
    Anderlecht

    4 genuinely world class teams under Rodgers versus only 1 genuinely world class team under Lennon.

    In fact, I’d go as far to say that the Leipzig and RB Salzburg teams we played in the EL under Rodgers were better than the Spartak, AC Milan and Ajax teams we faced under Lennon.

    Irregardless of that though, 12/13 CL campaign was brilliant so credit where it’s due. But I think the CL is harder now.

    The triple treble and the unbeaten treble definitely puts him in the debate for 3rd place

    Yep. I think he was sure he’d have moved on by now.

    He’s doing there what he did here. Worked hard at the start then started looking at his next job.

    Dunno would cost them a fortune. Think he's working his ticket though he's been moaning about financial constraints. Anyway Leicester fans are totally scunnered with him

    Don’t like him, don’t dislike him either.

    Respect him for being a really good manager and what he did here.

    No * way.

    He is a * snake piece of * and ran at the first chance he had * over everyone at associated with the club not giving a * about it.

    The board and Lenny along with nearly every player last year * us up but that does not let that * snake of the hook.

    He can seriously * off away from our club from the day he walked out on us. Horrible seeing this POS at our stadium today with smiles and laughs and greeting some of the fans.

    Yes he did great here,no doubt and i respect everything he did during his time here.....but it all ended that day he * off.

    Like Walker/Nicholas/Judas....he is also on the list.
