Or RvN

Doesn’t sound dodgy at all

He talks here about his focus on “… one more game.” The club have treated him pretty badly if you ask me. Not giving him the tools to succeed, and these constant questions about his future that he can’t really answer.

His stats are very similar to Akinbiyi, but Daka cost way more (overall and if you equate his fee in 2000 money). He’s been a total flop if not bigger, but has had nowhere near the same level of flack that Akinbiyi had.

This duo could define Leicester’s next chapter — grounded in values, but unafraid to evolve. Well if we’re restructuring along these lines: While Paul Chuckle (of ChuckleVision fame) might not have a background in football operations, there’s a compelling argument that even a children’s TV entertainer might bring more unity, transparency, and goodwill to the role than Jon Rudkin has managed at Leicester City. Jon Rudkin’s tenure as Director of Football has been heavily criticised by fans for: Poor recruitment strategy and overpaying for underperforming players Allowing key players to run down their contracts and leave for free Weak succession planning in both squad and managerial appointments Contributing to a financial situation that led to a potential points deduction In contrast, while Paul Chuckle may lack technical expertise, he does possess: Strong teamwork skills (as proven with Barry – “to me, to you”) A knack for slapstick crisis management (which may come in handy) A cult fan following, which could boost morale No known involvement in any financial fair play breaches So while appointing Paul Chuckle would be absurd in a practical sense, in the court of public opinion—especially among disillusioned Leicester fans—it might genuinely feel like an upgrade. In conclusion: no, Paul Chuckle wouldn’t be a better Director of Football in terms of qualifications—but emotionally, metaphorically, and morale-wise? Possibly yes.

With what funds exactly?!

I threw it off the scent of Russell Martin by saying we’d have a points deduction, be forced to sell assets and fans are against him

Final Recommendation: Considering the current challenges Leicester City faces, including rebuilding the squad and potential points deductions, David Wagner emerges as a strong candidate due to his promotion experience and tactical knowledge. However, if the club prioritizes continuity and youth development, retaining Ruud van Nistelrooy could be justified, provided there’s confidence in his ability to lead a promotion campaign. Other candidates who should be considered according to ChatGPT are Gary O’Neil and Rob Edwards. I’m sticking with RvN.

I’m asking ChatGPT who we should appoint as we speak…

No thanks. How can we communicate this to the club?

How can we afford to sack RvN? I’d keep him anyway. He’s been set up to fail, hamstrung by Coopers recruitment and years of poor decision making, and I think he deserves the opportunity to try and sort this mess out. Also who in their right mind would want our job at the moment? It’s like last summer all over again. No one wants to take a job with an impending points deduction.

Wise words and agree with every single word.

This is a curious one. I argued this point when the last one was looming over us. But they will think if we’re on our arse, they’ll want us on our knees. And to some extent rightly so. We think the rules and how they’re applied are a bit farcical, but there will be nothing better than this verdict to highlight to everyone just how badly we’ve been run. We can only hope it’s the catalyst for change, but I bet we’ll just amble on and carry on as if nothing has happened. It’s more likely change will be seen in the playing squad. Again needed, but my one concern though is that clubs will come for our assets, and we’ll be in no position to refuse. Particularly if we can’t get rid of the deadwood we’ll have to sell players we want to keep around (and I’m thinking academy products…). But it’s all ok because we get a free Singha and a donut twice a season! And we won the league a decade ago so we would be grateful… 😡

I’ve said for years that on Football Manager you should be able to sign lawyers with attributes like players: Persuasiveness 15 Build an argument 20 Communication skills 20 and so on…

So are we

Can he do the DoF role? He’d probably be quite good at negotiating contracts! Gerrim in!

And having to use most of Coopers coaching staff, and only able to bring one of his own guys in. He was set up to fail

I think Nick De Marco might make the PL and EFL look like idiots again

I don’t disagree with the logic at the time, but to think Ward could step up was totally delusional. So therefore if we weren’t prepared to replace him when he left, he shouldn’t have left imo.

He was pretty much the last leader left in that squad at the time.

Top comes out and doesn’t even say anything on the mic, like some sort of ‘cult of the leader’ North Korean dictator. The whole set up with the presentation felt like it had organised to minimise discontent from the crowd - including getting the ex players out to Top carrying his baby. I had minimal respect for them anyway, but it’s a bit less now.

Luke Thomas hard as ****

Ayew has played the same amount of games and had marginally better stats than Hojlund. Says it all really.

I don’t suppose anyone can post the text to this? With all the official social media content coming out about this they are clearly wanting to use this to distract from discontent. It’s to us tomorrow to give Vardy a great send off but also make our voices heard about the shitshow.

Perhaps, but I would have liked him to have had more minutes for us. What is he worth now? So hard to value… and no doubt we’d insist on future performance based clauses, but I think it will take a very big offer for us to sell relative to current value. This site has him valued at €400k , which is clearly ridiculous, but what would people take? https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ben-nelson/profil/spieler/714458
