To call this lot clowns would be unfair to clowns, who are at least dedicated to their craft. This lot aren't even trying anymore.

Vieira's probably still salty that Vardy didn't sign for his beloved Arsenal when he had the chance

Pearson and an Ostrich

Well there's the horror injury sustained by a high profile player at the CWC then. Just come off the back of an injury riddled season and now he's sustained a potentially career ending leg breaker in a glorified pre season friendly. But nah, it's still a great idea cos Fluminese and Al Hilal did some bits. European teams are just snobs.

Seen more tactical nous in one preseason game under Kingy than at any point ina year under the last two jokers. Doesn't mean he's the answer yet though. I'd like him to stick around as assistant, not least because I can see this coming season being a real pressure-cooker if we don't start well. I couldn't bring myself to call for his head, which is the problem - I love the man and the club knows full well a lot of us do. It's gonna lead to emotions delaying the inevitable if it does go wrong. He has a bright future in management though, needs to cut his teeth with a L1/2 club and prove himself before someone like us comes into the equation. Since I was spot on about Ward and called his Wrexham move months ago, I'm gonna go two for two on tenuous Welsh links - If he doesn't end up managing us in a few years' time, gonna put my neck on the line and say he'll be Wales manager by the end of the decade or thereabouts.

He was one of those weird ones we'd thrown a contract at for no reason, Enzo had alluded to an attitude problem and dropped him then we went and gave him the contract the week after. Peak Rudkin which went a bit under the radar due to the positive vibes at the club at the time. To be fair he had an injury-riddled season out on loan, so he's a bit of a mystery. Thought he looked ok if a bit raw last time out, if he's got his head down and wants to push on he might be a squad option, if not likely to threaten the first XI. Let's be real though, he's only still here because we gave him a contract off the back of a handful of senior appearances.

@Union FS any chance of a simple 'PLAY THE YOUTH' banner at a game?

Ah you must have missed the grand unveiling, club buried it amongst all those birthday messages Here you go

Looking forward to John Rudkin's Big Pink Paradise in the concourse next season. 'WAS a condom machine Susan, WAS a condom machine! Now it sells penny chews, 10p a piece. I don't know how I think 'em up!'

Now I'm not saying Page is the Messia-

Either that or it's Kingy's preferred style. I guess we don't really know if he's not managed before, but either way I'm glad to see it. There are a lot of lazy sods in that squad who are going to have an unpleasant surprise when they come back into training in the next few days and actually have to graft.

Revealing him in front of a bunch of half-eaten quality street toffees is an interesting choice

And look there's Rudkin - 'I'm evil! I'm evil'

Guessing we don't have a new kit confirmed yet because they're working out how to get the BC.Game.pedia badge in

Going to be absolute scenes when somebody's mate is the ref next season

In FoxesTalk code, that means we're getting Wayne... oh god no

I'm so so happy this thread is still alive

Doubt he's going to get game time when we've got Nugent, Wood and Waghorn ahead of him ... wait, what year is this again?

Love this man

His stock's surely too high for us at the moment? He'll either stay with the U21s to try to bag them more silverware or move to a non-greedy 6 prem team with a decent youth setup.

Goodbye sweet prince... ...Actually nah, if he's a prince then we need to abolish the Monarchy.

Rudkin? You missed this 🔚
