Mandaric: We must stick together

30 September 2010 13:00
Leicester chairman Milan Mandaric has urged Foxes fans not to turn on manager Paulo Sousa and his players. The midlands club have lost six of their eight Championship matches this season and are bottom of the table, prompting reports that Sousa`s job is under threat just three months after taking charge at the Walkers Stadium. However, Mandaric insists the Portuguese has the full backing of himself and the new owners, Aiyawatt and Vichai Raksriaksorn. "Things go wrong but we can't turn things upside down now, for goodness sake," Mandaric told the Leicester Mercury. "We can't turn around now and say Paulo needs to go. Now is the time for us to show how strong we are together, how united we are behind our manager and give him a chance to get the results. "It is a difficult time but it is time to be united and not to listen to speculation in some parts of the media. Get behind the manager and give him support. I believe in the manager and the team and we need to give them our support. It is as simple as that. "As far as I am concerned I told him on behalf of the owners and myself there is tremendous support for him overall and we all have to pitch in and do the same."
