Ruud Van Nistelrooy - Sacked - Official
The Doctor replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
actually feel sorry for him reading that Percy article. Like we all know the board are useless and working under them is managing with one hand tied behind your back but: "It is understood he was stunned by some of the resistance he encountered from players over simple things like strength and conditioning." Get a manager (not dyche) who'll smash the seagrave culture to bits, at this point I'd take a full senior squad clear out with the exception of Fatawu. -
but the kit looks pretty tidy aside from the sponsor logo?

eh, the sponsor logo isn't great looking but I'd still rather that that whatever dodgy betting/crypto company offered a fat wad in the tendering process.

not one team you'd expect to be more than midtable in that last 10. competent management from board down and we piss this league -
offer them a bogof deal, buy coady, get Faes thrown in for free.
-
fold the club and go back to playing on viccy park tbh
-
is he not more into his bike lanes?
-
Mans about to have a serious Reform in his worldview
-
as far as the former player names (because we all know this club isn't capable of thinking outside of the box) we could do a lot worse than Carrick
-
"a real manager drinks real ale, not IPAs". Alright grandad, get back to your CAMRA meeting
-
be prepared for Brussel to bench him to fit in Stuart and Adam Armstrong
-
two other ex city keepers on there as well (Warner and Taylor). We either do amazing keepers or absolutely shit ones, no in between
-
Vardy, Ward and Iversen to leave at the end of the month.

I think wards transfer fee:goals conceded ratio comes to a similar value -

I'm assuming it's confusion over whether you mean home or away priority points
-
That's not determined yet. The Cannon sale goes to the 24/25 season, for which the financials close at the end of next month. The one we've failed is 23/24, so compo for Enzo and sales of KDH, Barnes and Castagne (all in that year) didn't cover us off.

So, 4th in the championship and winning the playoffs is more than the dutch FA Cup and community shield, plus second in the eiredivisie?
-
Yes we scored goals in the period where we were in form, well done. Now, what about that spell Watford - Plymouth where Vardy and Nacho were also just not scoring? You're being wilfully stupid and is there any actual point in engaging with you? Yes, he was bad in that Plymouth game. He just was no worse in that couple of month spell than any of the other strikers we had. He was no worse than Vardy was at Brizzle a couple of weeks earlier. He's a distinctly average player who gets heavier criticism than that would warrant, simply because the point of comparison is arguably the greatest striker we've ever had, certainly the best in living memory (can't imagine there's many left alive who saw Chandler play and can remember at this point given you'd need to be fast approaching 100 to manage that).
-
They've not though, they've been bang ****ing average at the start, and unless someone comes in and is genuinely top class and settles immediately, it's been back to old reliable in JV and leave that alternative striker to stagnate. Daka, Nacho, competent but not world beaters. Perez, perfectly servicable striker at PL level shoved out wide because he wasn't immediately better than vardy. The only one who was genuinely bad was Slimani, and that's just because he had a massive attitude problem, his actual ability across europe has been fine for his entire career.
-
I mean given that in that dodgy run he was dropped and we won 1 of the next three (sunderland, Hull, Brizzle), and that when he then came back into the team we won 2 of the next three he started (Norwich, Brum, Plymouth), it is sounding quite like coinicence yes. Even more so given in that period other strikers were also completely shitting the bed (Nacho and Vardy at Milwall, Vardy at Brizzle). Maybe, just maybe, it being a team game is important here and actually that bad spell was the entire team having a collective stinker. Match ratings on here mean nothing, the average fan is biased as **** and lets be honest, quite a few of our fans hate him for not being Vardy, like they've hated every other striker we've had in the last decade.
-
does it? like, it's a team sport, if one single player is influencing that then they have to be Ali Dia or Danny Ward levels of bad. Daka is an average striker, not shit but not a world beater, a massive confidence player who looks worse than he is because he's spent his career here in the shadows of one of the greatest ever players at this club. He alone did not cause us to lose 4 in 6 any more than the other ten players on the pitch in each of those games did.
-
been falling out of love with professional football for a while now, could barely be bothered with Sunday despite it being Vardys last game, this would be the final straw.

lee Anderson crying into his reform pajamas right now, you love to see it

bottled the top four and got nothing to show for it? Pure 2019/20 behaviour
