Rudkin was and still is in charge of recruitment - players/managers, coaches, recruitment team, wages, contracts and which players are sold and when. Basically team performance where it counts - on the pitch. He has made an enormous number of mistakes. Nevertheless he can argue, whilst patting his puppet master, Top, on the head, that it’s unfair to blame him as nasty Susan is to blame as she let him make the mistakes.Given Top’s questionable management skills which have led to the effective demolition of his fathers legacy, both sporting and the KP business, such an argument sounds plausible. So off with her head!
She was forced out. Had she resigned and worked her compulsory, probably 3-6 months notice (typical for a CEO), LCFC could at least have someone lined up to arrange a seamless hand over. No CEO is likely to be appointed as this could challenge Rudkin’s position. His power grab is now complete and he will continue to pull Top’s strings as CEO.
If this faltering team, financial dire straits and points deduction re not enough to worry about, 11 of the 19/20 first team players (excluding the youths who have hardly kicked a ball in the first team) are out of contract next summer.
