We are at the stage ... its no longer about who we want as a manager...... its now who in their right mind would want to be our manager

There have hardly been any at all for the past few months. TalkSport Bet were apparently running one for a bit, but I think it was the only one. Possibly Bet Victor at one point too. The rest haven't touched us.

Reason being .... we are a rudderless league 1 team ...  nobody gives a fu*k .... we aren’t news anymore

Yeah, can't argue with that.

Local news here today says Notts County have already signed three promising new players. Which goes to everyone's point.... get a fuching move on!!!

They have no urgency in their DNA so the concept of getting a move on is alien to them .... they are probably so deluded the actually think the have to do little or nothing as promotion is a certantity ... which sadly the past few seasons proves is not quite the case

Realistically, It would be good to get someone in on June 15th. 

Transfer window opens then.

Contracts run out on June 30th, so gives a couple of weeks planning etc.

 

more than likely won't happen though

Of course it won't.... that would show they have a plan .... which I doubt very much 

Problem is the club can't afford to pay the SKY monthly direct debit.... so phone and Internet are down until we find some funds

They don't have a clue who it will be.........are we really surprised.....🤔😤😤

Let's just agree they don't have a clue about anything full stop .... the thought of them making any right decisions gives me the sh1ts 

Look .... I am all inclusive 

It will be interesting where the players we have let go re surface .... 

The way the club is being run .... anybody on the way up in management and with ambition will give us a wide berth .... we are looking in the absolutely useless, no idea, win record of less than 20% and nobody else would touch with a barge pole section

Rudders is on a cruise at the minute, no rush he has a well planned plan

Man overboard..... with any luck

Fuchs as Manager, Vardy as player coach? 

Actually.... that could have some substance

But what if the club knows who it wants but is not in a position to appoint them until after the play-off situation has been resolved or the new financial year has begun?

If the club has any ambition or structure they will have already identified a couple of targets and got some background on the management style both on the pitch and off it ....which most professional set ups would do ... however the last few previous appointments seem to have been either knee jerk or desperation ... contracts end on the 30th June ... so anything later than the first week in July shows they do not have a clue ... which their track record over the past few years is probably nearer the truth

Cifuentes was no better or worse than Gary Rowett. I’m sorry to tell you this. 

Cooper, van no idea, Cifuentes and Rowett... all 4 rolled together does not even make an average manager ... in face nowhere near one 

Am I correct in thinking all current contracts end on 30th June ? .... so thinking sensibly ( give it a go Rudkin / Top ) the new appointment should be 1July ... no baggage and just look forward .... however the new manager should know he has the position earlier to be given time for planning, getting a backroom team together and identifying players to sign ... its called planning and preparation.... you can have a look at that as well Rudkin and Top

Yep the way I see it currently is that Rudkin is the owner of LCFC. Top has literally given him the reigns to the club and is letting him do most things LCFC related. Top doesn’t have the brains to do anything and is hardly there. It’s a sad state of affairs because the hatred between the fans and Rudkin is at its highest point. 

Leaving Rudkin have the reigns only goes to show Tops total lack of interest in the club.... only shows up to keep face

He definitely won't though will he

True ... saying it and doing it are 2 very different things

It’s embarrassing, that’s why. People at the club will be thoroughly rattled by this.

 

I have to say this is surprising. Turns out more fans are turning their backs on the club than expected.

 

Whilst the general sale allocation will be snapped up, the fact it’s got to this sends a pretty clear message. Good stuff.

The whole club is totally delusional.... some of the management probably don't even realise the league we are now in ...

I don't know. Everyone was pretty sure it was going to be Gary Rowett about four weeks before the board realised that literally nobody else wanted the job.

And that's why he will probably keep the job ..... its not a very attractive position for someone who thinks and speaks for themself....

It’s just absolutely essential that whoever it is is here early so we can get actually give someone a fair crack at shaping a squad. The preparation last summer was the worst it’s ever been at the club 

You can forget the early bit .... totally out their thinking..... why give someone the chance to settle in and make plans and get in some new faces, tactics, build a squad to gel ..... when you can make the poor bastard that gets the job suffer and watch him struggle

I wonder if they'll discuss how they have got managerial appointments wrong, and why they made the mistakes, so as to avoid making those errors again, or will they just flip a coin again? 

If they haven't had this discussion.... many times ...  it shows total incompetence and why we are in league 1

Oh Rudkin’s been on and voted!

Or was it Top

Rudkin - 100% out atm (153 votes)

 

Even his mum voted him out 

His mum has asked him not to call around her house until he finds another job 

We have been flirting around the rules for years .... and it's caught up with us and we have paid a price for it in the form of 6 points .... but it was poor player buying, bad financial management, poor performances and results over the past 2 seasons that saw us relegated TWICE not the 6 points
