Leicester are at the moment linked with a number of different manager candidates. We believe no decision on a new man will be decided anytime soon. For the time being Andy King is the man in charge
Nothing will happen before anything is known about the PSR problems. We do believe Leicester will avoid points deductions, but if that would happen, it will be at a minimum and not inflict with the outcome of the season. That will also make it difficult to start any form of search for a new manager without that disturbance settled and out of the pictur
Andy King might be inexperienced, but to go for either Nigel Pearson or Chris Coleman as an instant replacement sounds totally disastrous and something that looks as strange that we would not believe that to happen. Nigel Pearson has been in charge of both Leicester and Leuven, and sacked at both places. To see him return would be a major surpirse and hopefully not happening.
Chris Coleman was not long ago sacked at Leuven and has just left Asteras Tripolis. Andy King will get two or three games and if he fails, Leicester owners might look at different scenarios, but they hopefully have no intention of bringing in the former Wales boss or Nigel Pearson.
Former Wales and Fulham boss Chris Coleman is among the names under consideration for the vacant manager's job at Leicester City. Coleman is well-known to the Leicesterownership, having worked for their sister club OH Leuven in Belgium. #LCFC pic.twitter.com/ccTQ5cvRIw

We were spot on and the first to report on the Marti Cifuentes sacking. Just hours later he was gone. This time we believe Andy King will be given time and not be replaced or helped by some sort of mentor.
The club has a plan of appointing a new CEO. They are also in a process bringing in a Technical Director. To start a chase for a new team manager or any type of advisor before this is settled, would be totally bananas.
We believe the management appointment will be happening after the season is finished, or at a time when everything is settled with the other appointments, and the PSR problems sorted.
All the speculations and thoughts from the head of different reporters can not be taken at this point as anything else than suggestions or wishfull thinking.
