At least we don’t look as flat as a few days ago

also, it’s worth noting NFL games are not played by using your feet with the ball on the ground most of the time.. but with your hands!

Decent start by England. and torrential rain is very very normal for Florida. pitch looks fine.

He’s always seemed to be an honest guy, so if he’s saying he’s doing it for family reason and needs to take. Break from football, I’d be surprised if he’s back in a job in the next few weeks..

He’ll probably get an offer about ten games into the season and take it…. Ipswich and their smug fans might now be in contention to beat Derby’s total..

Err… so isn’t this just a maggot, then?

Do you think perhaps he’s done all that before he went away? Can’t officially sign players yet anyway. I’m not saying he does a good job, or that I appreciate any of his decision making , but I can tell you he does work hard.

I find it mildly amusing people seem to think a Director of football is not needed during the season. right now, with no football and no players around no transfer window, what is there for anyone to actually direct?

So they’ve around the end of April they are probably finalizing the transfer targets for the season. It makes sense to take the holiday when they do. Personally I wish Rudkin would be on permanent holiday but it does make sense.

Or at the end of a long and exhausting season? When even the players are on holiday?

I think he should go on holiday permanently

Nah, that’s just daft. Family life and mental health is far more important. Let them have a holiday. better now than in the middle of the season, don’t you think? Or the week before the transfer window closes?

Burnley will want a winner. We are happy with a loser.

That was our response to his team releasing the info about him having other options- we are saying we have other options too

Playing possession football is fair enough but you’ve got to have the players to play it otherwise it’s like asking a bunch of one legged people to be ballet dancers. Sure, they’ll give it a go, but it won’t be pretty..

he met every insurance criteria. This wasn’t supposed to happen again. No one bent any rules.

Every time someone makes a fish pun, Martin gets a little more excited about being Leicester boss…

his poor family. Watching it over again. He has to for their sake.

surely just cut the end off the Marti cifuentes banner and write an N and we’d be quids in?

I know he had a defibrillator fitted after the last time and this is possibly what saved him but I don’t think they thought there was even a chance it could happen again

Just seen a headline that Christian Eriksen has collapsed on the pitch in a friendly against Ukraine. He’s now conscious. Possibly a recurrence of the same issue? I hope he’s ok!

Sounding ominous…

For Challinor, it has to be said that in his 15 years as a league manager, he’s never finished outside of a play off place ( other than Covid season when he joined half way through)… been promoted in 7 of them..

I think you’ve answered your own question. He’s been unemployed for a while for a reason.
