Faes and Daka coming on. Ruud out

Better than Soumare or Ndidi then. God were terrible

Imagine being a Premier League team yet having a midfield that can’t make the most basic of passes

Winks is injured. It’ll be Skipp but he can’t replace both Ndidi and Soumare

West Ham knocking at the door here

+ Rudkin

Soumare is no destroyer. He barely breaks a sweat or gets within 20 yards of the opposition.

Yep, £30m on Skipp and then we play Soumare who we only have because he’s worth less than an empty packet of Walkers Prawn Cocktail crisps and still nobody will take him

Our midfield is a hot mess. How are we still playing Soumare 2 years after we all realised he is utter bobbins

And midfield

Score draw this. Brentford have the best home record in the league and are the better team. We are bang out of form but will have some new manager bounce and will snatch a draw for a respectable first result for Ruud. 1-1 or 2-2.

If anyone has a spare, please DM me. Can pickup in London.

Ruud will instantly lose a lot of goodwill if Soumare starts again

I think Ruud has what it takes to sort out our calamity defence. He’ll get his chalkboard out and show Faes what’s been going wrong If nothing else it will be interesting. Far more exciting appointment than Moyes or Potter would have been. At least if we fail we will fail with attacking entertaining football.

I'm hearing Ruud is set to be confirmed this day. He's just down at HR doing his 'right to work' checks.

Can't see any flights coming into East Midlands from Manchester direction at the moment

My father used to say ‘a Dutchman is just a Scot with all the generosity removed’

Brucie

If we appoint Ruud we need to be aware that if he is remotely successful, he will be off to Man Utd at the first opportunity. And they go through managers every 2 seasons. The first time Amorim wobbles and we’re flying under the Dutchman, it will be ‘get Ruud in’ from all the media / pundits

It will certainly get us a few places higher in the running order for MOTD each week, if we get Man Utd legend Ruud Van Nistelrooy in as manager. Probably a good call seeing as we’ll need a new shirt sponsor (King Power) any time now…..

Cooper has more yellow cards this season than any of our outfield players. Not sure that we were lacking somone shouting at the ref

Cooper is not better than noone. I'd rather put my cat in charge than watch another match 'managed' by Cooper

100%. Top is not the same man his father was. He inherited a football club and doesn’t seem to know how to run it.

Cooper out

The Championship is one of the hardest divisions to get out of in the world. Many big clubs spend decades trying to get out. Bouncing straight back up for a first managerial appointment, with a mismatched squad that was not bought to play your style, is some achievement and shouldn’t be played down. Enzo is 100x the manager Cooper is.
