you're forgetting the selections? forget today

part of it for me is his press conferences so far - gone from "speaking well" and saying the right things to deflective and being very abstract/non committal. I don't mean digging players out, but putting a firm line in the sand. Nothing we can get behind.

I think we might be catching them as they putter back into life

I don't see it. He refers to it - what is it? It's very much the same thing, albeit he's better looking with some charisma

plus his fake age. 23/24. He looks like a short, unwell prince william.

and I guess you also have to take into account the players he's around, dragging him down perhaps. Not saying he's Maldini

is this better than cooper? Then again same players minus fatawu and playing liverpool

well done to him tonight

Absolutely. Tolerable in the championship to a degree if you create, but he's costing us both ends of the pitch here

I interpreted it as more about protecting him rather than performance. It felt like a subtle dig at the fans.

He needs to be careful when talking about the fans in reference to Justin and Ward (fans not helping the team etc etc) - a little Rodgers esque.

I don't think he would have left if he hadn't been lied to about transfer budgets etc

I understand your point, at least some of it, and I don't entirely disagree. But the more the fans voice their disagreement, although it's horrible, the quicker we rip the plaster off. If we all turned up at the next home game and cheered him like a gladiator, would he be a better goalkeeper?

Could @Union FS do a simple Leicester blue tshirt with Rudkin out on the back and front? Or similar stuff.

Exactly. If he was brave enough, set up an interview with a fans group, live. No screening of questions.

None of that/this is acceptable and if it takes some harsh words to be said in the meantime, it saves longer term pain for all parties. Do you think this is helping Wards career? Or health?

I just don't know what to think anymore 🥲😂 Cooper was not right for us, think almost all of us thought that (note I'm saying this was a widely shared opinion and not fact) RVN, a gamble, but someone who has been around top managers, been a top level coach (within reason), and had/has authority (yes you can argue that is all playing career based). The mads/Ward thing has given him a curveball that otherwise we might be here with 2 wins, 1 draw 1 loss (let's assume Newcastle was a loss regardless of Ward) But - the way the ward issue has been handled and the lineup the other day, the fact he still doesn't have any staff in (regardless of if the board prevented this or not) has suddenly shaken what seemed a positive start. The fixtures coming up are brutal. I want us, and him to succeed. But this twist of circumstances and poor judgement has really upped the stakes on how he navigates the next set of games. The only other thing I can say is rudkin out, we need that slogan everywhere, visually, in the stands. Top needs to feel the pressure..because looking at him shaking his head in the stands, he doesn't get it. He's not an owner, he's a custodian.

Exactly - at least two levels of research - pre accepting the job, the managers own research which should be presented during interview perhaps, during job selection process or day one, club provides a detailed report of all players inc. youth, for first team players, pros/cons, considerations, how they like to be managed, relationship with the fanbase.

"Asked if he knew of Ward’s reputation in the stands, van Nistelrooy admitted: “No, I didn’t. What happens in recent years is something I don’t know. You (the media) can explain better and the people within the club can explain better. But still, it must be difficult for him to experience it.”

Don't forget Kevin Pressman too...

@Foxes_Trust Truly embarrassing.

I hope so

If you're KDH you wouldn't (my opinion) want this move. Looks like such a "I failed and I'm back" - you'd go anywhere else (for more money)

Is this serious?
