Then instead of beeing Chelseas feeder club we´ll just switch to become the feeder club for the Danish national team.

I am sure Emery would - but so would any other PL manager. But the issue for me is - if Mads goes - why Villa? Yes they have ambitions - but don´t all PL clubs and don´t we? I would think that maybe he stays another year and then goes to a seriously big club. Barcelona and Real Madrid are not out of the question IMO and a couple of the big clubs here - no doubt Arsenal are interested after his performance there. I´d guess Chelsea of course and Liverpool and Man City. I´d rule out Tottenham and Man Utd. - they are both in a mess. So there are actually relatively few clubs that might be of interest to him - but lets see....

As long as he beats Michael Owen - that would be nemesis big time

Doesn´t Wards contract run out mid 2025? If so Rudkin will most likely give him another 3 years at 75 grand a week,

Villa? Why should he go there?

What I dont get is how on earth they and Carragher can hold down a highly paid "pundit" commentator job. They are absolutely useless.

Why should he go to Newcastle apart from the money? They are very irregular, only play Europa now and again and have won **** all in 40 years. IF he goes - he goes to a really big club IMO

If we have to sell - Danny Ward is available..

Rudkin will sell for 15 mill and get Danny Wards brother as replacement keeper as part of the deal.

Vardy

IMO it has nothing to do with journalism. They are not journalists but just guys that once played football at the highest level. I would question whether a few of them are actually able to write....

Most of the pundits are unbearable. Sutton for one, but Carragher and not least Merson seem thick as bricks and how they are able to maintain high profile pundit jobs on TV is baffling.

Ôzil looks a right tool

So aber auch ein Leicester fan zu sein.....

Considering the fact that management has made numerous mistakes over the past 3-4 years they are all still here. There have been no management changes despite throwing millions out of the window. So about time Top acts..

The last time this happened we became champions. An omen?

Well thats two positives then. Potter in - Rudkin out

Came for our lovely weather...

Undoing the wrong action at the wrong time - employing him in the first place

I wrote yesterday that they´d probably keep him for the season - that aged well

10 matches wasted really. The signs were on the wall even during pre-season so could have been done much earlier

Bleak! It does seem as if the board has no idea of what they are doing. Neither on the business side nor (and especially) on the footballing side. So they rely on a manager that knows what he is doing, and as Cooper seems clueless we are like a ship with no rudder. Frightening that this is possible in a multimillion business

Maybe their thinking was "with points deduction were going down anyway". So we might as well keep him. He is cheap in the Prem and expectations haven´t changed - were still going down so the boards perceived strategy is still on. Think that if he is fired. the layoff payment will be substantial. We hire a new one that fails to keep us up - and the change of manager will blow a big hole in our finances. I think they´ll stick with Cooper whatever happens.

To ensure that they get 6 points against us....

The laugh of England you´ll never sing that......
