If he did an interview now it would be Prince Andrew moment. Perhaps Rudkin doesn’t sweat as well.

South East Asian culture in terms of power can be quite dictatorial and authoritarian, and what’s been said recently in this thread speaks to that I think. Remember when the portrait of the King of Thailand was paraded around the pitch? I perhaps discounted it at the time as we’d had success, but in hindsight and what’s gone on since, and reading these stories, it really does reinforce this cult of the personality / brainwashing that is also associated with dictatorial and authoritarian regimes. Really really odd and actually quite troubling.

Media are saying good candidates didn’t want the role because of Rudkin and how we’re a basket case, and with the history of appointments this lot of made, it has all the ingredients of at best a mediocre appointment. And then consider the nature of the challenge and I’d say he hasn’t got a hope in hell. Although if success is judged at not going bust and avoiding sanctions, and perhaps resetting and bumbling around the lower leagues for a bit, then you never know…

I still can’t get my head around how badly they handled (many things) the shot at redemption that Enzo gave them. That summer after promotion it’s like they went out to try and do it on the cheap but did so by throwing loads of money at it. I’m a tiny bit heartened to hear that figures within the club are also unhappy with how things have been handled - so they are dissenting voices within. For example, how it’s come out about the disbelief that we went into the season with two first team strikers (and one being Ayew) and it took so long to replace Cifuentes. But on Cifuentes, I believe we’re also seeing how some of the dynamics pan out at senior level. We’re now led to believe that Aiyawatt wanted to support Cifuentes, and he did that interview suggesting so. Then he’s pressured to sack him by senior people - who are these senior people? And who has an interest in trying to blame others for prolonged underperformance? Enter Mr Jon Rudkin the cancer at our club… I want KP out as much as the rest of you, and we need strong leadership, but I do wonder what would happen if Aiyawatt replaces Rudkin with someone competent.

Curious to know who the two groups were that were rebuffed after approaching to buy us in recent years

At what point is consideration given to more unsavoury methods of removing him? Is it bad that I think him not feeling safe walking around the city is good? He shouldn’t - it’s not just the club that suffers. Loads of local businesses will suffer, and probably for years. He’s a cancer at the club and he needs to be removed before we head further in the direction of being unable to come back or possibly even cease to exist.

There absolutely needs to be.

I think in fairness it would have been a short conversation if it got angry

I agree, but I can’t see it happening otherwise it would have before now

I think horse bolted a while ago personally when it comes to last chance saloon.

He also said he “will try” to continue to put money in service outgoings

Aiyawatt doesn’t really say much here, but posting anyway…

Honestly who does he think he is. Tone deaf

I suspected we might have done this a few times. I’ll always remember Pompey and Leeds doing it when they declined. Not great examples to aspire to…

I didn’t go tonight and I’m only going on Friday to protest inside and outside the ground.

Do you have confidence in those who appointed him?

Ayew and Choudhury 🤣 state of this club

All this huff and puff is too little too late

Surely worth throwing on another striker soon? Actually do we even have one?

Bet you Ramsay gets injured

Haha so poor. How much space did he have ffs

Prutton on Sky: “how does a player of Daka’s quality miss from there?” Is he taking the piss?

Who would you rather have? Akinbiyi De Vries Marko Futacs Daka

I’m going to miss the guaranteed comedy misses from Daka when he’s gone. Much worse than Akinbiyi

No plan No urgency No desire No clue
