Majority of the above is correct by the way - but we all need to take stock and realise that any manager hasn’t got much choice and is working with what they have by the virtue of Rudkin and King Power, an unbalanced and just poor squad. We haven’t got the means to play much differently.

Bit of me (and completely more likely) thinks this was also some propaganda from the board - get Enzo to attend and make the fans think we’re doing something ultra ambitious to take the heat off.

Say what you want but it is dodgy - could be anywhere in the world with millions of pounds of pay off in his back pocket, but chooses to watch a bottom of the table clash of Leicester vs Norwich on a Saturday lunchtime with his two assistants. Even if it’s as tenuous as watching Mukasa ahead of getting the Man City job in the summer, there was a purpose.

Threads like this make me question if foxestalk should just be closed down until May

Don’t know anything, but at the very least I would guess top and Rudkin are still barking up the wrong tree. If there was any hope of that ever happening I would imagine Enzo is currently in the process of blocking a few numbers

Not gonna speculate on details because it will get laughed out of here, and rightly so, but I do find this a bit fishy.

Terminate his contract. I’d genuinely rather watch Hutchinson or Otchere be out of their depth for what’s left. Shambolic excuse of a footballer.

Not gonna get sucked in to the guff posted about Nelson on here, but him and Okoli are an awful partnership. Nelson desperately needs Lascelles or Vestergaard fit asap to actually get a chance. He’s a young lad constantly having to mop up a more senior Okoli’s mistakes.

Richards won't make another 6apps let alone score 6 goals.

We’re in a world of shit but Rowett just makes you feel completely reassured. We needed him about 3 months ago and god knows where we’d be.

I think Daka is poor, and Ayew is absolutely useless. But thinking that playing Jordan James as a false 9 is going to be effective is absolutely bonkers.

I know they'll probably both only be on the bench but that news feels massive. Looking forward to Saturday.

Don't like the comparison between our kids and Mukasa, for one Mukasa is a year older than Page let alone Monga, and he's just come off the back of 6 months training every day alongside the very best in the country (plus the minutes he's actually played for them). Those are two big factors and it isn't really a comparison between them, come back to me in another year - that's if Page/Monga are even still here which will say a lot in itself. From what I've heard Monga will be calling Mukasa a team mate for quite a while anyway

Mukasa up top is the only way you get all 4 in the same team in a balanced way - but I don't see Rowett going for that. James for Winks imo.

Debating if it was a straight red. Mental.

Rudkin is going to stay as DOF alongside a sports director and we're all going to be sat here purely speculating for the next XX years as to who does what. McCarron might well be a very good candidate (which I would lean towards) but this just creates an uncertainty with the fans designed to take the pressure/heat off Rudkin.

This has me in stitches every single time it pops up. Its perfection.

People are obsessed with calling out some of these players characters and tarring them all with the same brush, when actually they’re just crap. Could see was actually frustrated and gutted to go off yesterday. Made of glass? Yep. Tossed it off? No.

The managers are missing the bollocks to trust him over “established” players.

These commentators are flabbergasted

This league is absolutely dogshit. If you’re telling me that Preston team is 8th then I’d say it’s more about our players application, mentality and conditioning than it is their ability.

Yeah agree with this, we’ve needed him all year but the game time he’s got is invaluable. Always the debate with loan players I guess.

Sharky is a part of the upcoming baller league for the new season

Miles wide of the mark to the initial take, as per usual. Not saying he’s going to completely revolutionise our game, but that he’s (at least closely approaching) on par with what we have.
