People who s*** on others dont tend to s*** on the ones who they know can do something for them.....its not rocket science.

Wow....so all the detail in the published accounts, the huge player wage bills, the poor signings and the appointment and failure to act on managers who got us relegated NEVER actually happened??? Phew....thank god you've told me that.....such a relief to know that it must all just have been a really bad dream i was having

Thats very true......but Rudkin was disliked by most people long before he ever reached the top

If ever there was a comment designed to make people panic, this DONT panic warning is it....!!

100% this...!!! I know from my experiences he was universally disliked within the club....with the exception of those who were his mates and he kept in a job so they could "watch his back" (ie Beaglehole, Crawley etc...) he is an ego-maniac and a master manipulator who somehow got himself elevated to a position he is woefully under-qualified for by throwing a lot of other people "under the bus".....and he doesn't ever appear to be in the firing line no matter how badly he does his job! There are a lot of people who i know in football who shake their heads at how this man is still somehow employed as DoF by LCFC......he would have been fired at the end of last season by any other club!

Youre probably right.....and if people want to make subjective comments about a players footballing ability and performances then that's ok with me as its all about opinions and that's what a football forum is about. Not seen anyone claiming to say they "know KDH more"....i was simply correcting one poster for calling him "an arrogant bellend" when hes NOT. In your opinion, "you couldnt care less" which is up to you.....but just because football is more important in life to you than how people behave and treat others it doesn't mean that's the most important thing in everyone else's life. Personally i dont judge people by how good they are at football....i judge them by how they treat others which is the only reason i corrected the poster who called him "an arrogant bellend".

Hes actually NOT....ive known him for years and hes a thoroughly likeable, respectful and humble lad..

Wow...Soumare must have been pretty disappointed he only managed to get x5 on his existing wages when we usually offer x10 to everyone else as a minimum...!

To gamble and lose the first time could be considered unlucky.......to gamble AGAIN on the back of such a disastrous "loss" should be considered as either incompetent or worse still, negligent dependent on how generous you want to be! either way, repetitive "gambling" is largely based on luck and/or favourable winds.....and you would NOT expect competent and experienced senior executives to run a business that way.

Sadly, what we're now looking at IS the "what if scenario" that doesn't seem to have been considered. Standard business practice to have Risk contingency plans and start implementing them ahead of time as and when the risk becomes apparent/real ....but not sure if the clowns who run our club have the experience of doing that?

I get your logic and you make some valid points BUT..... If Hamza is on £40k/week (which i understand to be accurate..), that's the last 4 years of £40k/week which equates to £8m in wages....not £2m as you state based on one single year. Its all well and good showing as a £5-6m asset on the balance sheet but in our P&L trading statement, we have way too many players on similarly inflated wages which is why our wages/revenue % ratio is unsustainable If we sell him for £8m now, it improves our immediate financial position in terms of transfer income and reduced wage costs but.....we've already paid him £8m in wages and we are now showing a significant financial debt in our accounts.... and we stil have to find someone to replace him at a lower salary.

I was there that day in Main stand enclosure.......still one of the greatest games ive ever seen.. Sometimes im not sure if its just my fading memory over-embelleshing how good that day was.......but then i read this post and i realise that i am not alone in my thoughts and it was every bit as good as i remember!! One thing you dont mention is that it was absolutely p***ing down with rain and everyone in MSE got absolutely soaked as it was completely uncovered.....but i doubt anyone cared!! Also remember there being about 40,000 fans in the main stand enclosure that day (at least, it felt that way!!)......it was pre-Hillsborough days and we could barely move and every time we scored, you just got "swept away" off your feet and ended up about 20 yards further away from where you started. All added to the fun at that time.....but could never happen again now due to H&S following the terrible events that followed at Hillsborough.

This aged pretty well...?!? You still having the same thoughts now about bouncing straight back?

He should have got that job at leicester years ago.....but they wanted him to work under Beaglehole and he refused to do that! Absolutely superb coach....watched him for years and he was instrumental in the development of so many of the our current first team academy graduates.

Ian Cawley is effectively Jon Rudkins messenger which is probably why he was promoted so quickly to that position so JR could maintain proxy-control. To my knowledge, Cawley has zero footballing background.....why wouldn't you put him in charge of a £100m state of the art footballing academy facility..?!?.
