Should read Rudkin should quit (end of)

I'm not against Rowett as he's probably the best we could realistically get in our situation, but if it is him, why the fvck wasn't he in place two and half weeks ago?

Probably sounds familiar here

What I don't understand, unlike Maresca who somewhat took them by surprise when he announced he wanted to go to Chelsea, Marti's impending sacking has been hanging there for about 3 months, yet when they do sack him, it's like a total surprise to them and that they need to find a new manager. How can a club in our dire situation points wise go three league games with a new manager. Rudkin is, and always has been, way out of his depth at the job he's supposed to do.

And there lies the problem

3 - 2 Spurs - loved De Vries interview after the final whistle - couldn't speak

He also looks as bad as Rudkin when he wears a tracksuit

Better if he could play

But I wasn't suggesting that - I was answering the statement from Drain the Swamp that said 'If we have aspirations of getting back there in three or four years, he's not the one.' I agree with you that I don't think he'd come here, but if he did, I think he would get us back there sooner than 3 or 4 years. He probably would struggle to keep us up, however.

But he's more likely to give us a chance of getting back there

Champions League Football, 60, 000 capacity crowds, far better players, money to spend - that's 4 reasons why they are in a better position than us (Oh and no Rudkin)

I agree, but let's be honest Spurs are a far more attractive proposition than what we are.

There isn't any, because this is an ongoing issue. Mistake after mistake after mistake and yet those responsible aren't accountable or are kept in role to continue making the same cock ups.

I'm torn about going. On the one hand, the club I've supported for over 50 years needs my backing to encourage the team on the pitch and to help get us out of this dire situation, yet on the other hand I want KP to understand that the way they are running the club is pitiful and by not attending this may be a visual sign of mine and others discontent. A secondary consideration is 'do the current crop of players deserve my support as they don't seem to put in any real effort or look interested in playing for the badge?' - Perhaps our logo 'Foxes never quit' is misguided - and visiting teams read this as 'Foxes are Sh1t'. Lastly, I go to games hopefully to be entertained. I don't like losing, but I'd rather see us lose playing entertaining football rather than the drab excuse for football I've seen for the majority of the last 2 years. Honestly, not being able to muster more than a couple of shots on goal against some of the opposition we've faced this year is pathetic.

Doesn't make him a bad coach - I think Mourinho was a PE teacher.

I wrote something similar earlier - I'd be kind of ok with the time frame if after 2 weeks a new manager was a credible replacement, but we spend weeks looking for the new guy only to appoint someone inferior.

Me first

I've come to expect this under the leadership of Top and Rudkin. Cifuentes was hanging on by a thread for months, yet when the pull the trigger, it comes as a shock to them that they need to find a replacement. Potential managers should have been sounded out before the Christmas period and identified as who would come jn and start straight away when they sacked Marti. This is a re-occurring theme, sack a manager, no idea who will take over and the the downward spiral continues.

It's probably been said several times in this thread so I'll repeat what many probably think - If he had a shred of decency or integrity he'd resign. I'd still have little respect for him, but at least it would be seen as doing the right thing. He doesn't need the money and his buddy, Chum Top, would probably give him a decent pension.

Distinctly possible that Gracia might be considered, but if he resigned from Watford because of lack of support in the transfer market this January, I think he'll realise he's jumping from one sinking ship to another.

I can't for the life of me think why Enzo would contemplate coming back here. We've no money, we've no decent players to play his style of football and we are facing a points deduction, which would seriously hinder his remit to keep us in this league. Added to this, he's already had first hand experience working with Rudkin so he knows how useless and ineffective he is. He may well be offered a king's ransom to keep us up, but he hardly needs the money after his pay off from Chelsea and no doubt another top job awaiting him.

I hear what you are saying, but I saw much more improvement with 10 men once he was introduced, than I've seen in many performances over the past few months with XI men. I'm not saying he was outstanding or did anything that was overly dynamic, but for me he moved the ball quicker and forward and got into positions where he could score. I think if Ayew puts the penalty away, the potential victory may not have been so comfortable for our opponents.

I'd rather sulk in the naughty corner.

OK - Feel well and truly told off - I'll go in the naughty corner to sulk and not play.

Thought he did well yesterday, but found it slightly strange we had a young centre back on the bench (Kevon Gray I think) yet King chose to play a young inexperienced right back there.
