You would think the pair of them would have the sense to realise that by Rudkin stepping sideways into KP racing it would take the heat off both of them straight away and mean Top could bring back Pearson and start to turn the tide

But I reckon there are some clever deals that could be explored with reputable companies that have links to the city, a decent and reputable shirt sponsor might just see a big increase in merch sales which covers any shortfall and more in what we recieve from some of the murky sponsors we have seen in recent seasons.

I think people have start to really banging the drum for his return, on social media and on matchday make it loud and clear how much the majority of the fanbase want to see NP return and not just as some form of interim until the end of the season either. Offer him the TD role which he can pick up in the summer

There are some bloody good people who work for the club and who do our club proud and if we get relegated, may be at risk of losing their jobs. The fall out of relegation will be massive. I really hope the decision makers and the playing squad come to their senses pretty quick, pull there fingers out their arseholes and get this club moving up the table pronto.

The issue isn’t the facility, it’s the dross that fills it that is the problem.

Brilliant pod and thought you captured the current mood and situation so well, Jordan was superb 👏🏼👏🏼

Ryan has worked in the football industry so does have a fair bit of insight on people. Reading through Russell’s LinkedIn profile would suggest a lot of random international partnerships being formed. Roll on commercial partnerships with obscure Asian businesses such as CB Game, FBT Online, Hari Snatch and many more business ran from the second floor of a squat in some back water of Vietnam

I am not so sure Dyche will get another gig with a premier league club, I think he has come to the end of his shelf life. Whilst he would be ideal for us in our current mess I just can’t see it happening for a couple of reasons, firstly I can’t see him wanting to work for Aiyawatt and Rudkin and secondly no way they employ a manager like him who would hold them to account and challenge the current dogshit culture.

Now favourite

Hassenhutl seems to be moving a bit in the betting this morning.

You can see how much this is hurting him, he genuinely cares as much as us and it’s shit to see him suffering at the hands of some of these absolute arseholes who are using our club to steal a living and I include Rudkin in that

What makes me smile is the complete lack of proactive succession planning. Most clubs will be watching and monitoring a number of managers and have a shortlist of 5/6 targets at any given time. Yet here we are at LCFC where we sack a manager and then appear to start from scratch with a quick google search of “out of work managers with EFL & EPL experience’ and then take it from there. fecking amateur

I have just listened to Kingys interview and I am not so sure the passive 2nd half was an instruction, I think there is a general apathy and complacency in the squad and I think the players thought the job was done and they could just stroll through the 2nd half controlling the game at a snails pace and have a nice easy 2nd half. Kingy actually says the instructions at half time were to carry on playing as they were. I would also say this managerial situation needs resolving today, if no manager is close to being appointed then he needs some support, he needs an experienced Assistant alongside him, Aiyawatt and Rudkin have thrown him under a bus and he doesn’t deserve that.

If he had an ounce of integrity and credibility he would walk away for the long term good of the club, but instead he will carry on and we will continue to appoint people who don’t rock the boat or question his position. Aiyawatt continues to protect him and as a result we continue to decline. If Rudkin left tomorrow it immediately opens up a whole new set of possibilities and options but he won’t and the pool we fish in becomes smaller and smaller with each sacking. Rudkin doesn’t care about the club he can’t do because if he did he would offer his resignation or agree a role where he relinquishes any real control for the benefit of the club. Instead Aiyawatt reshuffles the deck chairs to make it look like change but to ultimately double down on protecting his mate.

And a 6 point deduction which has destroyed any positive momentum of sacking the manager. As soon as that deduction was announced and official I reckon 90% of the squad will have been discussing exit strategies with their representatives for this summer. Whoever is manager is going to be working with a group of players where the majority are either running down contracts or looking at their next move and how they get out of this shitshow. Aiyawatt and Rudkin have thrown a club legend and rookie coach under the bus to protect themselves, left him to pick up the prices and deal with the fall out of the last 2 weeks, whilst they continue to destroy the club from the inside. I really hope Kingy walks this morning to protect his own reputation and legacy at this club because he doesn’t deserve to tarnish his time with our club because of this group of players or the DoF and owner above. The standards of this club are absolutely rock bottom and this is all as a consequence of Aiyawatt and Rudkins inability to swallow their pride and step back and appoint the right people to take this club forward. Self preservation society is killing my club.

🤣🤣 as do most people on here

Sorry just reread it and get how you may have have interpreted, just my guess as to who will it be and a guess it will be some point this week. Smith is now into 11/4 favourite and all others except Gerrard at 16/1 now drifting

Just a guess based on bits of information and attempting to put 2 and 2 together but very much could be wrong

Steve Walsh coming back asTD and Dean Smith as manager ……announcements this week is my guess

Does he get access to inside information?

Just my opinion but really don’t think Rowett will work with us, as others have said his successes have been with clubs of very different profiles to ours. I cannot see him getting a tune out of this group. Paul Heckingbottom and Alex Neill are doing amazing jobs at PNE and Millwall but I think both would tank here. Horses for courses and we need someone who can come in and command respect I just dont see Rowett as that man.

Agreed and if it’s is Kingy then get him an experienced Assistant in and goalkeeper coach to support him and at least give the poor lad a fighting chance.

If this current lack of a plan doesn’t make the KPFC believers see just how shambolic Aiyawatt and Rudkin are, how there is no long term strategic planning, no succession planning then I am afraid nothing will. 2 weeks in and not one concrete link to a long term appointment or short term solution. Everything is so reactive, most clubs would be constantly monitoring managers and having their next 2/3 managers in their minds so they can proactively respond to either having to sack a manager or to bring in a ready made replacement should we lose the incumbent to another club. These two just fumble around for weeks without no discernible plan or direction and then plump for some uninspiring out of work journeyman or some big name with little to no track record suggested to them by an agent.

Aiyawatt just get it done tonight bury your stupid pride and if Jon Rudkin has to be sidelined then so be it.
