The Telegraph are reporting increasing pressure on Puel, nothing new really on the Players as he has form for this style of Management at Southampton, does it just not suit the Premier League or is Nev right and he'll be given the chance to clear out the Deadwood while bringing in a fresh vibrant new squad?
Claude Puel is fighting to save his job as Leicester City manager, ahead of a substantial squad overhaul in the summer.
Puel’s position is becoming increasingly precarious after a torrid run of four wins from 17 Premier League games, amid growing tension over his methods and management style.
With Leicester’s hopes of securing European football over, Puel is now coming under pressure and he could leave the King Power Stadium at the end of the season. The final four games of the campaign appear crucial for the 56 year-old, as he bids to show Leicester’s board he is the manager to take them forward.
Telegraph Sport revealed earlier this month how Puel is battling against unrest in the dressing room and it is understood that the atmosphere is still severely strained, with a number of disillusioned players.
Puel has frequently made changes to his team during Leicester’s troubled second half to the season, frustrating players by allegedly refusing to give reasons why they have been dropped.
Leicester’s style of play under the Frenchman has also become slow and pedestrian, with the east Midlanders failing to beat Swansea, Stoke, Bournemouth, Newcastle and Southampton at home during a favourable run of fixtures.
There was also widespread surprise when Puel came into the dressing room at half-time of last week’s 0-0 draw with Southampton to allegedly claim they had produced a “perfect" performance.
Leicester intend to spend big again this summer but Puel’s position is now under threat and he may not survive after their poor run of results.
Palace away isn't exactly the game he needs right now!

The pressure mounts

Down he's not a yes man he's doing his own thing when Shakey was more of that kind of manager.
As for pressure what pressure only the few on here and the media. most fans i have talked to want to give him time and think its the players who are not up to it.
All it takes is a few individuals to make it sound like he's lost the dressing room rather than making changes some don't want.

That’s fair enough nev, accepting him for what he is. How about the second point then?

Vardy has just come out and said there isn't dressing room unrest in the Mercury

Sent out as a spokesman to quell the fans then. It also suggests that he himself isn't the problem.

Nev can’t blame the players then if Puel gets sacked, they’re all behind him.

If the club are about to sack the manager
And given the time frame of the new transfer window and the world cup,
I hope their having secret talks with someone and already have players targeted
Otherwise we are for another
"Building" season!
At this point it's
Stick or twist both of which are a hugh gamble,

No gamble we have a manager who has a plan the window shuts on August 6th if he is going which i don't believe Wenger had better start sooner than the end of the season.
