Great post. It wouldn't suprise me if it's not about paying out compensation, but more about not wanting the hassle of approaching someone in work. They would have to negotiate with other clubs for permission to talk to, they would have to convince the manager to leave and tell him what the plan was. KPFC do the easy thing that takes minimal brain power, which is why we only appoint out of work manager's who want the job.

Appointing Martin makes the day these awful people pi$$ off for good arrive sooner so let's get this done.

No i don't think there is a conscious plan to destroy us, he is just letting us rot.

I am convinced that Top is trying to tank the club. He hasn't got the minerals to sell it up so is letting it slowly die. Administration will be his get out and the excuse will be Covid, PSR, the nasty FA and all the ungrateful fans who didn't support him. The fact he doesn't live in the same country as the club he is in charge of is the biggest clue.

The club is in crisis and everybody has gone on holiday. It truly is laughable how bad this regime is. If there is any crumb of comfort to the pain we are feeling right now, is that they won't be here forever and they will either run out of cash or interest or even more likely that their hand will be forced by administration. Every day brings us closer to the end.

No it is the same awful way of doing things year on year without ever learning from the countless mistakes they have made. Maybe McCarron has been told there will be no media engagement involving him as it will look bad on Rudkin for never having done it. Consistently opaque.

These lot just don't care at all. No accountability, no communication, no sign of any work being done. The new man McCarron hasn't even formally been introduced to fans. That was an easy piece of business to get done to take the heat off Rudkin while he gets on with the graft of getting these big contracts off the balance sheet by offering players, discussing mutual terminations etc (lolz). It feels like they have given up just as us fans have in trying to get them out.

The biggest endorsement to an ownership is ticket sales and while we will be naturally down on last season, the romoured sales are certainly not a disaster for the club. Another botched managerial appointment, a failure to rid many of the high earners, a poor start to the league might be enough to cut through the apathy and get a few more to turn. A lot of fans still think this is a blip and Top will turn it around.

It does raise the question why we are all so accepting of the situation. There is such a resignation among the fanbase, that we are powerless to do anything about it.

Tony Mowbray would be great for us. Not sure he would stand for Rudkin and the disfunction

5,000 would be a good number to take to the club.

It's expecting a response to a crisis from someone within the organisation.

I am a bit suprised really because even though they are clearly idiots, it is obvious to all that we are in a real mess and headed for administration. I understand face saving is very important in Thai culture so putting this right should be the highest priority. Having the club taken out of his hands by force and every assest being sold, all at the the place where his father was both successful and lost his life, would be be the ultimate public embarrassment for Top wouldn't it? So yes, I am a bit suprised we are not seeing an urgent response.

17 days and nothing. I am finding myself getting angrier by the day. I mean, how is Rowett still here? Rudkin has either gone on holiday or they are undecided about GR leaving. This whole regime is just so w@nk. I can't see us avoiding administration but that's probably the only way we get rid of them.

4k hit but membership is only at 2k I believe so around 2k have not taken the option of a free membership. That is bizarre. The numbers are great - keep up the good work FT.

Has this Apichet fella ever done anything of importance at the club or is he just there for the good times like groupies at a 70's Top of the Pops recording? According to Copilot he provides "high-level governance, stability and strategic oversight."

I live and work in Nottingham mate. This situation is just unbearable.

2 weeks ago tonight that we were relegated. 14 days has already elapsed of the most crucial close season in the club's history. We are heading for extinction and these lot can't even announce the departure of an out of contract manager they aren't going to keep. They are just incapable of learning from their many mistakes. Just get out.

Scott Parker would be a shout.

We need a real salesman to get rid of the players still under contract on huge wages. The maximum we can spend in League 1 will be 60% of revenue which for us, top end, will be £22M. So 60% of that say £13M - £250k per week. Winks (£61k), Vestergaard, (60k), Choudhury (£56k) Skipp (50k), BDCR (£48k), Faes (£36k), Thomas (£35k). 7 players we could play without and who are on a combined £346k per week - those alone put us way above the limit. Copilot reckons we will have a revised wage bill of £650k per week after contracts expire but before any relegation clauses kick in. Lets call it £600k per week. We need to cut our wage bill by at least a whopping £350k per week McCarron might be able to identify younger talent that could help regenerate our squad but what about the high earners? Who is going to shift £350k of wages? Rudkin?

Not that I really expected it but Rudkin is going nowhere is he? He isn't going to dramatically improve in his job after 10 years. The only hope for KP is that McCarron is decent at his job and that he won't be overruled or c○ckblocked by Rudkin.

Absolute shambles of a double substitution that perfectly encapsulate this season and this era. We only employ coward yes men looking for an easy payout.

I think that all contracts handed out were made in relation to Vardy's wage which was 125k i believe. So Winks for example was given 90k as in, he is worth 72% of Vardy's salary. For a simpleton like Rudkin and those who sign the cheques, that would be a reasonable approach. It obviously falls down when you realise that a) the market for Winks would have been 50k tops and b) we could not even afford £50k in the championship with the wage bill at the time, nevermind £90k when we were on the brink of a PSR breach. I bet they have never done any basic wage benchmarking for any signing or staff. Just an awful way to run any business.

I think we can only assume by him leaving now is that Rudkin is going absolutely nowhere. The club will continue to rot and head towards financial meltdown. I cannot believe what is happening. Any kind of decent owner would stay here and personally oversee the massive cuts in wages we require and rebuild. He has left it to John again, the same strategy that has taken us to the brink of ruin and an international laughing stock.

If you have supported the club since 74 then you must be fond of gardening so try this. If you had some Japanese Knotwood growing in your garden, would you prune it each year and douse it in fertiliser or would you try and remove it by the root? Putting money into their pockets is giving them a big thumbs up to carry on this $hitte$t of $hit shows.
