Lesta Legend

No need to get your knickers in a twist, he called the owner an idiot, he’ll be no where near the board. However much of a misanthropic tool Charlie is, he’s right, Top is an idiot and we’re in deep deep shite if we get relegated

Lascelles out for at least two weeks according to King 🤣

There are good points for him never coming back and some for coming back (he’s admitted his aim is to get back into management) this is not one of them.

An experienced industry insider and a Leicester fan. Let’s deride his opinion and dismiss it. That’s FoxesTalk.

While lots including myself, know KP time is up and they should sell up. While Rudkin remains here and he still holds power nothing will get better, he’s a pariah both inside and outside the club.

Imagine what Rowett said that we’re after an ambitious manager, as this could possibly have been from the feedback via his agent. That would tell you everything , zero fxking pragmatism and delusion that the tw@ts are looking at managers that they think they can still attract and blissfully ignorant of why those managers would never say yes, they’re likely wasting their time, they’re just inept. I’d imagine they’re still aiming to go for some kind of possession based obsessed manager, a system that isn’t working and won’t keep us in the league. They may be getting turned down but that’s because they’re likely unrealistically asking the wrong people.

Having just got a notification you sneaked one in 🤩

Dyche would be too obvious an option in terms of where we find ourselves.

This would be brilliant if we can also replace Rudkin with Gorbachev.

Unbelievably some discussing Thomas Frank, you have to laugh ! Our board is a dysfunctional mess and this will now be clear to any potential manager but some think Frank would be that desperate to jump at the chance of a relegation to league one and working alongside the best DOF in the business, Jon Rudkin. Foxestalk always deliver's

Emergency podcast ?

HMS Piss the League?

So we shouldn’t get actual real life manager’s we know could be realistic targets (the big one in all this discussion), that at the very least would organise a team defensively, that may have experience in our current scenario but expect the club to utilise a sophisticated analytical process to find a manager that is hitting certain performance markers and displaying certain behavioural traits that we’re desperate for that will help us avoid relegation. There aren’t any discernible alternatives we can go for, that’s for the birds. We know the club doesn’t operate like this anymore and I’m certain the decisions are made on agency introduction and / or a good interview. So good managers you mention are likely harder to come across without a good sound rational /analytical approach to a search. We’d already have managers lined up as they’ll have been on a researched list and it have been obvious for a while where this was heading, we aren’t so lucky with Top and Rudkin. The situation we find ourselves in means we don’t have the time to mess about. I’m pragmatic about this and I don’t trust the club can afford to really push to pay compensation. Our options are limited and not one person has offered any realistic managerial target other than the boring alternatives offered, its our market position now

Exactly, you’d think we’d all had enough watching these performances and the decline the board have managed over a number of years we’d all be in unison calling for them to be held accountable, finally. Everyone has the right to their opinion, even stupid ill informed ones but I’ll never understand the intimidation and violence people resort to because they think their right opinion is right. Rudkin and Top have to hope they change and get something right that will really change the way this club operates. Otherwise this toxicity isn’t going away. Which is why I now feel it’s time for KP to sell up, I would rather be an average poor small midland club Top see’s us as than be apart of this culture of deceit and mismanagement. I hate what they’ve made us become.

But who exactly are the alternative options, the realistic ones we could afford ?

He’ll start the next two games.

I do admire Ricardo for his service with us, he’s been a great player. But he isn’t a captain, Jamaal who I’m shocked is even starting is clearly a natural born leader.

What chance do we have if the captain is that sloppy!

I've no idea why people can't get their head round the structure and staff we had in place, doing well and as you said was a benchmark to the loss of those people and the gradual decline as they left (alongside the important support staff too) with the focus on what seems agent connections rather than good recruitment via statistical analysis and a competent recruitment team who had the leeway to make those decisions. The system that worked just doesn't exist anymore and so no we won't all of a sudden go back to the same level of success unless a good technical director has the ability to organise and develop an independent system. I do worry with so much work needed in the summer that we will be ill prepared if we're relying on a system that apparently is 'ok' and it's 'swings and roundabouts', Jesus wept.

Staying fit is key. A no nonsense defender with the actual leadership qualities we need. Yes we need a striker but he is everything we are devoid of. Please stay fit 🙏

Because the likes of active premier league clubs like Wolves are after him. Clubs that can afford the capital out leigh on a fee on large loan fee. We cannot afford to compete this side of our likely PSR breach and we literally are scrapping the barrel of average players available on loan that most teams don't want.

And in desperate need for leaders. We absolutely need a player like him. But one that stays fit… Now a striker

With one day to go we all of a sudden here rumours, right on queue… Life under top.

I’m not sure how he hasn’t been involved more. He looked very composed and confident.

It is where we are. People turned their noses up to Moyes, Dyche and Wilder, called them dinosaurs and we should be looking at some unknown from Europe. Now the club’s only option is the substandard version of those same managers. Mowbray and if we can’t persuade him I reckon Rowett, it makes you sick. But until the owner fcks off the best we can hope for is to stay in this league. The football won’t be pretty or successful but like you say Mowbray is probably the best bet for a so called build of the season is up.
