Two seasons in England and his record's not too shabby- 8th place and a cup final they should have won with Saints and then he took over a struggling Leicester and took them to 9th. Yet he doesn't seem that popular at either club. Would anyone mind him here?

Why would he drop to the Championship with his not so shabby record in the PL?

He does seem to piss off the players after a while but I'd definitely take him. Builds teams that can defend but are exciting on the break and have bags of pace.

There's only really West Ham as an option for him in the Prem and you'd imagine the 'West Ham Way' bollocks would see them turn their noses up at him. Unless he gets a decent offer overseas it's worth asking the question I reckon.

I swear Stoke supporters don't want to see good football. Subjective isn't it. I don't want us to constantly refuse to cross the halfway line but a team with fast, skillful attackers who do teams on the break doesn't sound bad to me?

His constant rotation of the team does more harm than good, the players fall out with him over it. The style of football is atrocious and the bloke has zero charisma.
No from me.

His dismissal at Southampton was ridiculous and the prima donna players at Leicester have got an inflated sense of their own self importance.

If you think Pulisball was bad then I warn you now, appointing Puel would be ten times worse. Absolute snoozefest.
He's been fortunate this season due to having attacking players like Vardy and Mahrez who score goals no matter who they're playing for. Don't be fooled.

Sorry but that's not strictly true is it? At Southampton they were turgid (like us) and the only reason he has bags of pace on the break at Leicester is because that's the team inherited, not built himself. They actually play with more possession these days.

They actually play with more possession these days. He still built a system that used that pace though. Shakespeare had started to neglect it. Making the most of what you inherit is still a skill. His Southampton side still had plenty of pace and were one of the most wasteful sides in the league. He probably should have got at least the benefit of the doubt after finishing 8th and reaching a cup final.

A decent coach but seems not suited to England . We like high tempo football and from what I read and see he prefers a slow possession style . City Spurs and Liverpool have set the next level of football based on skill pace and work and that's what fans here want to see really. Lesser teams like Huddersfield Wolves and Fulham have shown they can also play the same way with inferior players and achieve their goals. I don't think slow football or the defensive stuff cuts it as much now hence the dissatisfaction with Big Sam and Moyes . I imagine if he leaves Leicester he will return to France

The locals are not a fan of Puel or his football mate, that’s for sure. Strange? they were singing his praises not long ago when they were doing well. They must have fickler supporters than us I think a lot of them were unconvinced by his appointment in the first place. He had a great start and improved them, although you could say that he simply got them playing to their strengths again after Shakespeare seriously lost his way. The quality of the football started to slowly drop off after Christmas with many complaining in March about whether he should last beyond the season. I get the impression some were willing to be patient and let him undertake a summer rebuild. Their recent results have turned the tide against him though. The locals are not a fan of Puel or his football mate, that’s for sure. Fair enough mate, that surprises me given it's not radically different from what won them the league. I think we get the edited version though Rob to be fair. A lot describe his football as dire and attritional for the most part, and recent results (4 losses in their last 6, including defeats to Burnley, Palace (5-0), Newcastle and West Ham, and a 0-0 at home against Southampton) put paid to their chances of qualifying for Europe. They're basically having the debate that I imagine we'd be having if Lambert had kept us up. www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/leicester-city-news-claude-puel-1568987www.foxestalk.co.uk/topic/115272-puel/?page=89

Forget it. Can you imagine him trying to explain to his wife that he is thinking of taking a job with a lower league side in the north of England. Be realistic No need to imagine - this recording was picked up in a shady tabloid operation in the Puel household a couple of days ago: Madame P: Hello love. Nice day at work? Claude: Evening, sweetheart. Brilliant. I have some news. MP: (Clapping hands and jumping up and down on the spot) Oooohhh, tell me, tell me! Have you bought me a present? A new car? Dress? Eternity ring? Perfume? C: I've got a new job. MP: (slightly disappointed, but putting on a brave face) That's great, Claude. Is it sitting next to that nice Alan Shearer on Saturday nights, wearing identikit shiny shirts, and making anodyne and blindingly obvious comments about former colleagues? C: Noo-oo. Much better. I've got a contract with a new club! MP: Well I know it's probably not PSG or Barcelona, sweetie. Once upon a time - but not now. But perhaps Sevilla? C: Bit closer to "home", love. MP: OK. Must be somewhere like Bordeaux? Or Lyon is lovely - lots of wonderful restaurants. And I know Marseille is nice - except when England are playing Russia, that is. C: Er no love. Think beyond the EU. MP: Oh goody - it's Spurs! Really handy for the shopping! Even West Ham would be great! Fulham perhaps...anywhere in London, really! C: Not London, love. MP: (Now with bottom lop quivering). Oh. We're going back to Southampton - have they sacked Mark? Or I suppose Newcastle or Everton are massive clubs with forlorn aspirations of breaking the stranglehold of the big 5. Or is it the big 6 now? Even the championship might not be the end of the world - hasn't Leeds got a Harvey Nicks? C: (shuffling his feet and looking veeerrrrry sheepish). Er, no love. It's Stoke. It's a lovely place. Hanley has some....shops. And a Bargain Booze. I would be following in the footsteps of legends like....Tony Pulis....and Bill Asprey....and, er Chris Kamara. [Door slams, followed by wind whistling through house. Lights go down on Claude, as he is engulfed in tumbleweed].

I don't get the hate for Claude Puel at all. Got results wherever he's been in England. Leicester were shite and destined to be relegated before he came in. Yes they've got class players but they were in a right mess before he came.
