This whole affair is just going to be one big blooper

Actually I take it back. Probably Rifleman Cooper

John Cooper Clarke

Well I suppose on the plus side it adds a good trivia question to the LCFC round as he is (to my knowledge) the first manager we’ve had to play for Total Network Solutions.

Managers have been on the cusp of being appointed and then due to fan pressure it hasn’t happened. I think Mandaric backtracked on appointing Colin willy puller because of fan backlash. Fingers crossed the same happens here.

Looks like odds have been suspended on this now

But it would be so Leicester if we all thought he’s going to shit, and then turns out to be the second coming

@Ric Flair did you end up messaging t’other Burch? I guess I’m hoping for an unlikely inside scoop on us being ditched at the altar instead of whether he was coming with Potter.

Urgh.

Hopefully

Me and my old man got chatting to him outside a pub in Copenhagen before the Champions League game. Seemed like a nice bloke.

He’s mates with Ian Burchnall from their time in Scandinavia, who is now a coach at Wolves. The Burch is an LCFC fan. I wonder if Graham would bring Ian with him. Then all we’d need would be a Gary and maybe a Geoff, and we’d have the full set of middle aged names.

Vichai would never have let it get to the point where it unravelled like it did. Could well have still been here, but under better direction me thinks.

It’s not a parallel move. We is massive!

I’m guessing this is regarded as good news?

Do you think Rudkin operates a political type spin operation? Personally I wouldn’t have thought so, as he seems like the type who struggles to tie up his shoelaces or buy the right horse feed.

As many have said Foden was poor. But imo the two weak links in this side come at the back and front end - Pickford and Kane. Pickford hoofs it long too much, gives the ball back and invites pressure. I’m willing to bet it might be infectious as well because then others start doing it. And then we look like the England of old, which is criminal given we have much better technical ability on the ball now. But maybe we still lack the mentality, and I think Pickford certainly does. He’s too hot headed, but not sure we have a Mads or Ederson style keeper in this country just yet? I feel like the conversations about Rooney that everyone was having about 2-3 years before he retired is now warranted with Kane. He didn’t really contribute much yesterday, other than drawing fouls late on. I said the same in the World Cup.

3-1 England. The key will be if they hold and give, but do it at the right time.

The Sun are saying that for accounting reasons the £10m compo package from Chelsea for FFP is like a £50m player sale. Is anyone able to say if that’s right or bullshit?

There’s a reason why he’s not really been a no 1 anywhere other than loan clubs. He falls into the bracket of being good enough to stand in occasionally, but not good enough to play consistently.

24 years ago today Peter Taylor was appointed… If you could get in a time machine, and fiddle with the breaks on his car, who would you appoint instead? If I recall, and I was 14, I think Big Sam was also linked? It wouldn’t have been nice, but I bet we wouldn’t have tanked in the years ahead.

If he does come in he needs a magic wand with a points deduction on the cards

I’m getting bored of this. The club have said and hide behind the idea of doing their business in private, and I get that. But it can also be cover for them not having a coherent strategy or knowing what they’re doing.

That’s the issue with people like Maresca, they give that impression and say they want to work at a club for 5 or 6 years but then cut and run at the first opportunity. Potter will do exactly the same if he does well with us over a season and rehabs himself.
