None of the managers this club have employed for the past 2 seasons have done anything to merit being at this club, most of them barely qualify as football managers at any level. Problem is the club is wedded to tippy tappy and Rudkin is a twat so we are pretty limited on who would come here. I suppose you could say the club have done nothing to warrant getting a better manager which is why we are where we are, we just have to hope we get a miracle or we die

Leicester fans aren’t quite so hateful, some still love Cifuentes now, who is like a Spanish Btec Martin.

I don’t really think Cooper was that toxic, it only really got bad for him when Forest destroyed us at home, which is kind of understandable. Up to that point most gave him a chance, certainly I remember the start of the season being quite optimistic, especially after a reasonable performance against Spurs

Marti was shit, he was incredibly lucky to win the games he did. The only games deserved were Derby, and Ipswich the rest were only won due to James or Fatawu. That period included a tough Premier League season and a job in Scotland that was too big for him. Marti has and will never manage in either of those divisions because he is a shit ****. Overall Martins performance is better. I don’t have an issue with possession football, I have an issue with managers who have no tactics at all. Martin probably doesn’t get us relegated and he should be able to get the team out of this division, if he doesn’t he won’t get another job either.

God that must have been bad given some of the shit his lot have served up the past few seasons, its barely football.

I doubt Martin does worse than that absolute Marti clown either way, that guy had not one ounce of managerial ability and it showed.

Tbf Marti is a 3rd rate clown who has achieved the grand sum of absolutely nothing in football other than being vaguely Catalan. At least Martin has actually managed in the Premier League (badly) and Won promotion in a tough division previously. I suspect if we had got Martin last summer we probably wouldnt have been relegated.

The thing Pearson had was backing and a competent board. Unfortunately we have a complete bunch of arsewipes running every area now. By now that Pearson season we had built most of the squad, had a full coaching team. This bunch of tossers still haven't brought in a back room team for Martin, Rudkin is probably saying lets keep King, Sadler and Hughes as they are he 'elite' selections. Will there be any players? I doubt it how its panning out, probably some panic towards the end of the window when they realise we are still shit. It looks like we are following the same path of dither and delay, the Rudkin Way, nothing has changed,

Its not something we need to worry about thanks to Top and Rudders. Its more a case of whether we get praise from Barry Arnold from Rochdale.

3 relegations in a row looks on, all aboard the kpfc train

Peak King Power and absolute masterclass in how to run a football club. We promote guy who do this, he good PE Teach

A good season for Jon Rudkin and his elite team of word salad specialists will result in the following press release: "Our possession-centric operating model consistently delivers market-leading ball retention metrics, achieving 90%+ control of the asset. However, despite excelling in this key KPI, we continue to underperform in outcome-based metrics, specifically goal conversion and defensive leakage, resulting in a net negative results profile versus competitors. Consequently, the strategic priority has shifted towards recruiting and developing goalkeepers and defenders with strong distribution capabilities and alignment to our possession framework, rather than focusing on traditional competencies such as shot-stopping, tackling, and defensive interventions, which are increasingly viewed as secondary success factors within the current operating model."

Children do go to games, this can be a good opportunity to explain to children what kind of behaviour is acceptable. A lot of behaviour seen at the football isn’t always acceptable. I’m not going to be part of such chants but some people when angry will do stuff they shouldn’t, that is kind of part of an emotional sport for people that can’t always keep emotions in check.

King Power probably won’t sell because Top is a stubborn idiot, and his chum is Rudkin is even worse. A question to the happy crappy boys, how much better have the endless clap back the lads brigade made us over the last 4 years? What exactly has the club given the fans to be positive about? I am genuinely interested.

One of the reasons I stopped going to away games was the coked up lads, its not my bag and id rather be away from that. I personally find UFS largely positive, they try to back the team but my god its been hard to back some of the crap the last few years. We cant just have bots clapping because they feel they ought to 'back the lads blindly'. I am all for backing the lads but the lads need to give something I can back. I agree there is a lot of division amongst the fans, we all essentially want the same thing but have different views on what the problems are and how to solve them. I suppose people have to do what suits them. Ill listen to anyones reason and debate and I will try and give a new manager some time, I think most will, I just feel maybe enough hasnt changed to make a difference but maybe Martin is the right man and the right time, that can happen and it may fix some of the issues. If only it were that easy!

I have personally never heard that song and obviously dont advocate it. That said he makes a choice to put himself continually in the limelight in football (rightly or wrongly), where chants like that happen (Glazers, Woodword, Ashley etc). People will make those chants. Certainly in British football I am not aware that a chant has been carried out. He can remove himself at any point. I agree, I will certainly hope Martin proves me wrong and that he can produce a young side that shows some fight, maybe scores a few goals, wins a few. That would be a start He has employed the bloke the majority of the fan base didnt want, persisting with a style of football the majority of fans dont want, takes no accountability, comes out with a word salad about 'high standards' which is something we havent actually seen for some time. Then stands in the press conference grinning. The optics arent great for the fella, he doesnt make himself likeable. He could come out with a proper statement, addressing the errors, explaining lessons learnt and explaining how what he has done is going to rectify it. Of course he instead doubles down because that is who he is. He is toxic and toxicity and failure comes with him. I think while he remains it unlikely anything changes, He is the only one who cant see that.

I'm not actually sure it was. Its just hurty words. Rudkin can remove himself at anytime. Instead he has basically stood up this week and said **** you to the entire fan base, he is a toxic vile creature and vile get vile back.

Im no fan of booing but I get why people do it. Some of the performances from our players over the past 18 months have been disgusting, darn right disrespectful if I am honest. I am not really sure what fans can offer when the players offer nothing. If there was some fight the fans would get behind that, its the way there were certain games where they just went through the motions, did the bare minimum they needed.

Is it not a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy though? The club keeps doing the same things, it’s like ground hog day, so really bar a miracle nothing changes, the result will be the same

Especially when the club is giving the signals it believes that Eveything is fine and Rudkin is at photo shoots!!

Us missing out on the Champions League 2 times because of Man City and probably Chelsea cheating has cost a good £400 million, then Everton staying up in 23 has cost us £150m per season.

Its a Joke, Leeds would have gone straight back down like we did. If anyone awards them any money for this they dont have an ounce of common sense.

The thing is those who sit there and accept this and 'get behind' it are supporting this demise. I find this a little weird to be honest. What exactly are we getting behind? The real issue is, communication is from the club is desperately poor, people may have more sympathy if they levelled with us, tell us the truth of where we are at, the radio silence doesnt help. There is a lack of accountability at the club and this sets a poor culture, if the Football Operations Director is rewarded for 3 relegations with a promotion, what kind of message does this send to others? what culture will it cultivate? There is an obsessions with a football philosophy that plainly doesnt work, its given 3 relegations in 4 years. Yet instead of learning from mistakes the club doubles down and brings in another manager wedded to sideways and backwards football. . We have wasted an endless amount of money on bad transfers that dont fit into the squad, yet the people who made those decisions are tasked with rebuilding the club and finding the right calibre of layer with the right attitude. Why after 4 years would that improve? The club have chosen to take away the very thing that made this club great and won us the league, the underdog battling spirit, hard work, efficiency, gaining a competitve edge, a team that never quits, players with something to prove. We are now replacing that with players who think they are it, managers who think dominating the ball is more important than basic defending or scoring. Its an attitude led from the top, pretending to be something we arent and not even being very good at that. The basic issue stems to Tops loyalty to certain people, some people are plainly incompetent, they need to be removed. Nothing changes until something changes. This was the perfect opportunity to reset and instead the club has basically given fans a massive V sign, paraded Rudkin around with his chum. I'm struggling to sympathise with anyone at the club. I live in hope that Martin proves me wrong but I dont see it.

At least Martin has a clear defined style even if I don’t like it. I can’t help but think the last managers didn’t really have any tactical idea at all, it was so dis jointed. At least if we have a plan A it might help a bit.

If Leeds do this they are idiots, it’s hard to argue we really gained any sporting advantage given we are 2 divisions below them now. If I were a judge I’d award Leicester all of Leeds tv money for wasting the courts time with such stupidity.
