Just missed each other by a couple of months I think.
 

I can’t see the link, Wonder if Martin actually wants him or it’s another Barry-Murphy style forward planning appointment that we never utilised in the first place. 

Maybe this is McCarron doing something. Hope so.

*ahh he was a Jan to summer loan in 21. My bad!

Freddy Woodman, 3rd choice GK currently at Liverpool.

Free agent (assuming Liverpool don't take the option. Might be able to turn his head with promise of being first choice?)

Played under Martin for MK Dons I think. Was RMs main man.

Knows the system RM plays.

Good keeper by all accounts.

 

Could he be our man?

He's excellent, wonder if a season as a number 3 at a top prem team will have given him a taste of the easy life though.

Not sure about the experience of the new assistant manager!

The removal of his royal kneehighness from new manager comms is an interesting move.

On the one hand I think it's the right thing to do, they were never his words and people realised that when they were stupid enough to put him in front of a camera.

On the other hand it's a direct contradiction of 'i'm going to be more present and communicate more'

Martin is apparently represented by SMI Sports Management International so I guess that’ll be where Rudkin will be fishing for players for the foreseeable.

Think that was when he was a player. Last few managerial appointments has just been him and the fella in the picture. Not sure if he’s linked to a bigger agency.

Who is that he’s with? 

It’s his agent. Why is it such a big deal? Or are we all just shocked to not see John Morris standing next to him

Nothing new there. 

 

 

Does tend to famously enjoy showing a manager around or getting a quote in the announcement though.

Hey I found a positive. Top nowhere to be seen or heard! 

Sadler and Hughes still here… and no staff announced yet. THE LEICESTER WAY 

ENERGY

ENERGYYYYY

ENERGYYYYYYYYYY

Apparently….

Lineker mentioned on his podcast the other week he'd had Lucy Pinder round for dinner "amongst others". I wonder whether Russell was also there. 

 

He's had him on The Rest Is Football too. 

 

You know he's going to be all over this appointment. 

Pretty sure when he had him on they mentioned they were friends/hung out a fair bit.

Martin is in the training ground as we speak

"This place is just incredible, hard to believe"

"Everyone you talk to here speaks about Jon Rudkins impact on all this"

"As a proud bhudist, I really appreciate the little touches around the place, a nod to my spiritual side"

"They've given me a little fridge in the office for my Huel"

"I'm currently recovering as I had two glasses of wine 6 weeks ago and my whoop has shouted at me every day since"

I’m not sure who people thought we were going to appoint, because if you thought Ancelotti was on his way, you’re probably being a bit optimistic.

Think you'll find most people have been asking for the exact opposite to that. An end to 'names' and an end to top swinging his tiny member around showing what he can still "attract" at this level. Most have been crying out for someone with a great record at this level (Challinor) or someone unheard of from abroad with a fresh approach tactically.

World Cup semi final evening that. Could potentially be no one there if England finish second in the group and get through to the semi's  

You mean to tell me we are hiring another manager whose former coaching staff want **** all to do with him?

Surely there’s no way Stewart drops to league 1 

I know what you mean. But he’s never really been a top level player. 
 

Two seasons in the Scottish prem, four in the championship and a few appearances in the prem… he’s a football league player and his best season was in league one. 
 

And he knows he’ll probably get a championship wage. 

You’d imagine Ross Stewart post World Cup is a shoe in? We need a striker and a target, Martin signed him at saints and last time he was in league one he took the piss. 
 

Fitness issues as always with us though

This new fella has 100% been picked by Tony 

BBC tech team warming up for Scotland early there?

The only positive I can fathom being chased out of Ibrox and police escorted everywhere may just have been the kick he needed to not be so useless 

Or he knows you can rock up at the KP, lose 8 in a row and get asked for selfies….

Tops back in the country this week because of Ascot. 
This’ll be announced by Monday 

Never left the country after the anniversary game. His plane has come over as it’s been in for servicing for a month. He’s been playing polo since the 5000/1 game.

I was close here looks like it was David Obou out of contract not David Ozoh. Was definitely too good to be an option for us anyway.

RIP

 

Did the last royal death mean Top was unavailable for a while or am I misremembering?

He's playing Polo today. Been available the last 3 days, I imagine if this is done it was done midweek and just waiting to announce when all the videos and stuff are done.

This ref is getting deported faster than the Somalian fella
