Ruud van Nistelrooy - New Manager - Official
honeybradger replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
The thing is that if he showed some intention to clear out the muck, then no matter the results I would back him fully. What happened to the manager that benched Faes on his first game? We need a manager who treats these players like the dogmuck they are rather than giving them unwavering support whilst they put in record breaking poor performances. -
He averaged less than a point a game with Aberdeen most recently who are one of the better clubs in Scotland. He'd get nothing out of this mess.
-
What squad? Even Pep, Klopp, Emery, Iraola, Arne Slot wouldnt stay up with this squad. Fans, Vestergaard, Okoli, Coady as centre back options is unmanageable.
-
We will struggle to sell Hermansen in the summer. Decent shot stopper but can't command a box for the life of him.

"We were in league one" is the perfect slogan for KPFC.

No Game time for Monga / Rudd stands by contract if relegated.

Imagine being Monga and getting asked to train with a Premier league first team as a 15 year old then comjng up against the players in person and realising they're all shit. -
The clear out for the Championship push!
honeybradger replied to Sly's topic in Leicester City Forum
Winks is a championship player on PL wages. He also lost his form in the latter end of last season, who knows if we will get the same performance level out of him again. If there's a market for him we should get rid at the earliest opportunity. -
The clear out for the Championship push!
honeybradger replied to Sly's topic in Leicester City Forum
Would rather give Cartwright or Baybrooke a starting role next season, or choudhury if he's still around, or whoever's in our u18 side. Similar to Danny Ward there's no point using him if he's not at the level required, when he leaves us he will be off to a lower championship/league one side. -

Why are people so confident that Skipp will boss the championship? He's not the same player he was at Norwich, he had a major injury since then at Spurs that he never recovered from. If you compare his performances for us in the PL to Dewsbury Hall, Dewsbury Hall was a far better player for us (albeit not outstanding) which translated into him being one of the best in the championship. Skipp on the other hand I can see struggling to make an impact, he's currently a worse player than Choudhury who is doing well in the championship but not among the best. I rather play someone from the academy. -

Will Alves - loaned to Cardiff City
honeybradger replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
It's a DoF's job to plan the future of the squad and communicate with the players how they fit into those plans. That should involve discussions with the manager at that time of what the player's role in the squad is and what they see the future of that player being, especially when the player is looking to sign a new contract. If, for example, Cooper had said that Will would have a role this season and then didn't carry it through in practice then it would be Rudkin's job to communicate with the player and the player's family and give them assurances that there is still a revised plan for him. From the sounds of it they were left in the dark with lot of uncertainty of how Alves would take the next step in his career. -
Will Alves - loaned to Cardiff City
honeybradger replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
There were offers but not from teams the club considered at a high enough level. Still better than being left on standby in the first team yet never getting on the bench so no game time at senior or youth level. -
Will Alves - loaned to Cardiff City
honeybradger replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
It might be the fact that the club didn't allow him to go on loan in the summer, made a big deal of promoting him to the first team, gave him guarantees for him to sign a 4 year contract and then barely gave him any minutes, not even in the league cup against opposition lower in the pyramid than he is playing against now. We, or more specifically Rudkin, messed Alves around a lot in the last year. -
What’s the best plan for our squad next season?
honeybradger replied to Haywood_6's topic in Leicester City Forum
It really is going to keep on getting worse until it gets better isn't it. We're going to keep on stockpiling Cordova Reids, Ayews, Winks, Coadys etc whilst our talent don't get a chance and inevitably move onto better things. Would rather we didn't bring in any free agents on high wages, the club is run so poorly that the best outcome for us this summer is a transfer ban and I mean that seriously. -
Wish we would. Any new signings are just going to be players that we're desperate to offload in a years time.

Will Alves - loaned to Cardiff City
honeybradger replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
Was withdrawn from international duty over concerns about an injury. Any word on whether it was precautionary or not? -

Sadly we will bring in more deadwood in the summer with the short term mindset of going straight back up i.e. Coady. The deadwood at the club will never be cleared out until we replace Rudkin and change our transfer strategy.

What do the players say in the pre-match huddle?
honeybradger replied to DJW1's topic in Leicester City Forum
"Everyone seems to love Vardy for his red bull pre match ritual, to earn the goodwill of the fans we should follow in his footsteps" "Faes, Justin, Kristiansen, Vestergaard what have you decided on as your pre match ritual" "A couple pills of temazepam washed down with a shot of vodka" -

"Bobby, youve put on two left boots again" -
I remember seeing that we were going to sign him and looking at his last game for Reims on youtube where he scored a stunner of an own goal. Genuinely think if we stuck him up front instead of Ayew and Reid and told him to defend for the other team he would score more goals than them.
-
To be honest id rather us spend the next few seasons in the championship than be in the prem next year. If we stay in the PL there's going to be no accountability for the situation we are in and they are just going to pile on the deadwood in the transfer window. At least if we go down some of the deadwood might leave the club.
-
For anyone asking why we dont give Skipp a run in the side, the last 2 games he started were a 2/10 horror show performance against Newcastle and the game against Wolves where he got hooked at half time. Skipp is Spurs's version of Mcateer, youth team player promoted into a level of football where he is way out of his depth. Really he should be building up his career with regular game time on loan in the championship but he stagnated on the bench for Spurs and somehow we made him our £25mil marquee signing to stay in the prem. Absolute clownshow of a club. If he was 18 you might say he had a bit about him but'a he's 24.
-
I think he should be given a chance as our starting LB in the championship.

Perez was the start of our recent run of terrible transfer policy. We desperately needed a right winger who could take on players and create from out wide and he just wasnt that. Yes BCDR and Ayew are objectively worse but you have to factor in that we brought them in as a newly promoted championship side looking to stay up, Perez was brought in when we were a side looking to challenge for Europe and had more pull and more money to spend. Relative to the positions the club were in at the time the quality of the transfers were similar.
