Let me have a few more hours in denial 🤣

I think he bridges an important gap, he’s definitely closer to Enzo than for example Rohl or Klopp in approach, but he’s far less wedded to his setup, he plays to dominate the ball but he comes across to me as less patient to get shots on goal and is happy to let wingers run free and create chances rather than looking for the perfect moment. I think he could possibly be the compromise that gives us entertaining, fast paced football but blended with a style that focuses on ball retention.

Simon Jordan says Cifuentes is a disloyal rodent. GET HIM IN. As usually SJ only sees one side of the story and ignores the other, Cifuentes had a complete breakdown in relationship with the CEO because of the direction of the club, just as Pearson did post promotion for example. If you’re in a role and you feel like your immediate boss is making decisions that actively harm your chances of success in your role and the effectively tell you to suck it up, of course you’re going to want to go somewhere else. The fact he’s willing to pay out of his own pocket some of the compensation money to join us, when he could easily just sit at home picking up a paycheck until a new job comes along is a good thing imo.

Don’t worry, within 12 months he will be back… in Red.

That is wild! I have to say the drama between him and Toto over the years has been great, let’s face it, he hasn’t done much that other TP’s wouldn’t have done its unfortunately the nature of the sport to be petty with eachother and try to bend the rules, Horner is the one who did the most work building the team and he’s overseen an incredible rise. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in the Ferrari pit wall in the near future. In the last few seasons unfortunately the Max problem and Helmut Marko have become too big of an issue to solve and could argue his lack of foresight has contributed. With max they have got a generational talent so it’s no wonder the car has been designed to suit him and win him world championships but ultimately it’s results in a car so difficult to drive it’s killing the 2nd drivers careers and now it seems more difficult than ever to win a Constructors with any of their driver pool as only max can get anything out of it. He’s done an incredible job, he’s been thoroughly unlikeable at times but his contribution is colossal. His Cambridge Union talk was brilliant and gives a great insight into how he’s developed such a formidable machine over the years.

He likes to play line breaking passes, so that likely puts Winks back into the starting 11. Cifuentes needs to get his attitude in order, and if he can utilise him to actually pass the ball more than 4 yards and sideways then he will probably dominate.

I think I need to

I'd take Cifuentes 100%, he was on my list a couple of weeks ago, definitely leaning to the side of the fence that I don't really like (he's far closer to Enzo than Rohl) but I think he speaks well, isn't afraid to call the board out as proven already, is not afraid to drop/sell players who don't make an effort or buy in to the club and the ethos he wants to create. Would much prefer Rohl, but this is the best we have been linked with apart from him.

The 3 step Leicester City plan: 1) Refuse to pay £1m for Rohl 2) Sign Gary O’Neill because it saves us £1m 3) Sack Gary O’Neill and have to pay him £2m in compensation. Rudkinomics.

I said just before O’Neil was sacked that I thought wolves were unlucky in terms of league position vs performances, they played well in a fair few games but just couldn’t get it over the line and were making poor errors or tactical naivety, so I felt a bit for him, even at Bournemouth I thought he was sacked quite harshly given the tools he had, yet both wolves and Bournemouth found another 5 gears when he went. Don’t want him. Leicester have me on the brink of just not bothering with football. My love for football has been lost in the era of big finance and stupid wages, if O’Neil comes when we have an opportunity to rebuild something exciting I think that could be the straw. Who knows maybe he’s learned from his mistakes, I just can’t see it.

The fact it’s being reported we have actually interviewed Wilder shows we still have absolutely no idea what direction we are going. Chris Wilder/Sean Dyche/Danny Rohl couldn’t be further apart in philosophy. This is just beyond a joke at this point. If we are willing to pay for someone, go with Rohl. If we aren’t, go with Hassenhuttl. It really is that simple Top. Both of those managers will bring a style that fans can get behind, a philosophy that is exciting, and both are proven to play younger players. If you want to completely destroy any connection you had to the fanbase, go with Wilder. Wilder isn’t a bad manager, but he doesn’t suit what we want, and the direction we should be going.

I’ve been calling for a Red Bull style system for god knows how long, King could be the first step to building that, give him either a leading coaching role or assistant manager, and in a couple of seasons allow him to take over if he proves himself. We need to get back to signing players with future potential on the pitch, but it’s imperative we start doing that off the pitch also. Every single time a manager is sacked there should be someone within the club who can step up and continue the blueprint. Bring them in early in their career, help them develop how WE want them to develop, then promote from within.

Okay, McLaren can F off for that. All 3 of them walked into the corner of the podium spraying eachother and they left Nico on his own none of them celebrated his first podium. Classless podium. Classless from the 3 up there for McLaren. Zak wouldn’t have acted that way.

Great result for Lando this is the one he wanted, elated for him, feel bad for Oscar as he deserved it on the day but was robbed by dodgy FIA stewarding, Nico the story of the day.

YES NICO!!!!

Ferrari are the first team in history to build a car faster on the gravel than the track

Think hulk needed to go softs

This might be the first time I’ve got a prediction right ever 🤣 Alonso/George lap 38 then everyone piling in lap 42

Huge gamble from Alonso I fear they’ve made a huge mistake

Apart from the regular annoying wet race safety cars that break up the race flow, the racing has been brilliant today

I’d love to see Lewis get a podium today, but if it comes down to a choice between Lewis and Hulk, I’ve got to go Hulk, I’d love to see him covered in champagne after finally ridding himself of his unwanted record. 238 races without a podium for such a talented driver.

Harsh on Yuki too. Stewards have had a bad day

Jesus Christ I’m worried I might get a penalty in a minute

I thought Lewis was going to take it when Oscar made his error but just couldn't keep it clean enough. That Ferrari had pace though, 0.55s up coming into the final 4 corners so lost a ridiculous amount of time. Max once again driving the skin off of his car, if it does rain tomorrow I think it will be a 1-2-3 Max, Oscar, Lewis.
