“you’re getting clink in the morning”

Results should improve though with Mads and Ndidi back in the line up 👀

Only way we get rid of Rudkin, get him banged up

The assistant was appointed a month later, A former Man City employee isn’t going to be on peanuts. whilst I agree the club wasn’t going to pay a substantial amount to get someone out of a contract His PSV assistant was Manager of an Ecuadorean second division reserve team up until Xmas, wouldn’t have exactly broke the bank. Any Keeper on the clubs books would’ve been better than someone that has previously ridiculed, blamed for relegation and has zero confidence. If you can’t be bothered reading a 30 second post in full in probably better not responding.

Hmmm, sorry I don’t agree, what about the lack of coaching team brought with him? Appointing an assistant manager after a month. “Ruud van Nistelrooy’s right-hand man Jelle ten Rouwelaar has been hailed as an innovator who is reinventing goalkeeper coaching” Danny Ward cmon down, despite what was commonly known and the above first team coach in place. Weird substitutions, falling out with some of the younger players that were brought in to assist the “shit squad” Let’s be honest, January transfers for Rodgers made zero difference. Our summer recruitment was also a shambles the chances of RVN getting successful players in if we tried are pretty remote when it takes about 7 attempts to get one good player. In BR last season the struggles with the Transfers & Rudkin were well documented, if RVN and his agent looked at our squad and foresaw this as a huge problem and were a part of the negotiations of taking the job, he should’ve had something in his contract that allowed him to walk away with with full pay if those stipulations/guarantees were not met. I’m certainly not going to give him a pass at this stage for one of the worse starts of any Prem manager and doing worse than his predecessor that was sacked.

Was going to say Jonjo Shelvey, not for his footballing ability but because he would’ve made a good Buddhist monk at half time

Championship quality 6 goals in 23 one every 190 mins in the championship, Your favourite player at the time only averaged a goal every 150mins and he was playing as striker

With Mads and Ndidi back that will be like new signings, so we should according to those who made excuses for the shit performances see an uptick in results. It might be a shit squad, but he can’t come out of this with any credit, if he fails to match the previous sacked manager point per game average at the very least.

Yeah I read it, I understood what you meant. That’s why I asked what aspects (of their game) had improved and if that was enough to say the general performance on the player had improved. I wasn’t digging you out, but curious to know if it was something I hadn’t seen.

What aspects do you think have improved and would you consider that enough to say the players performance has improved as a result? Bilal was probably going to improve with game time anyway. Soumare had shown glimpses of being a better player under Cooper since his return from Seville. Defence has been awful in general. Attack has been worse since his arrival to? Considering the level he played and his experience as a forward, you would’ve expected the strikers to have at least looked more clinical.

Can’t believe there isn’t a good youth striker that could get minutes and be utilised next year

Strange that you only picked the 9 starts and not 12, culminating in 3 straight losses or the fact that after that purple patch he started 6 more games and scored 0 and 4 of those 6 games ended in defeat

This should help 1 goal in his last 25 appearances

Usain Bolt’s movement is good and his fast, much cheaper wage too

Well if people are going to harp on about losing the ball, Ayew has actually been dispossessed more times and they both have played similar minutes

Ultimately the responsibility is with the owner, year after year he is happy with the Director of football. It must be some form of guilt if he was to sack him, because of the relationship he had with his father because the progress we initially made under his guidance is becoming a distant memory.

Add paying players like winks, Daka, Cody, 80k plus a week

That’s not true, it’s widely reported there were funds. It’s more a case of the balancing of the books and the restrictions imposed by PSR

The writing was on the wall with the incompetence of the Silva transfer how Teflon Jon has managed to last this long is remarkable

Tier 1000 is too much credit for weirdo making up rumours with 100 followers

Mid table champ not yet

Slowly but surely undoing all the excellent work his father done in growing the club.

Tanner said this earlier today Leicester City are unlikely to be doing any business on transfer deadline day. Continued concerns about profit and sustainability rules (PSR) mean there is limited scope for manager Ruud Van Nistelrooy to bolster the squad he inherited two months ago before the window shuts on Monday at 11pm UK time (6pm ET), certainly with players who could actually make a difference.

Nottingham Forest are set to sign Aberdeen teenager defender Lewis Carrol. The 16-year-old is a ball-playing defender who has attracted interest from Arsenal and Chelsea in the past 18 months, but he has chosen Forest instead with the senior side flying in third.
