cc_star Posted 30 July 2015 Share Posted 30 July 2015 To say Pearson attracted players - what planet are you on???? To say players played for Pearson is absolute rubbish. Players play for themselves. I have not heard of any walking out in support of Pearson or going on strike??? People are so clueless....... Pearson lost so many quality players such as Bamba, Knockeart, Gradell etc all because they had a personality. Why on earth does the club or Rudkin have to come and say anything just to satisfy the narrow mindness of some so called fans. Comments like that make us a laughing stock... Funniest thing I've ever read on here, for too many reasons I can't go into them, but I will say Who did Cambiasso sign for & who hasn't he re-signed for? Who did Krameric & Huth sign for even though we were bottom of the division at the time? Who did Okazaki & Fuchs sign for? Who did Schlupp renew for, despite considerable interest elsewhere? And as for supposedly quality players leaving because they had a personality? What utter bollox, total and complete & utter bollox Bamba was a complete & total liability, Knockaert was an excellent Championship player & he was offered a new deal, but for a considerable time he's had family issues... And Gradel? , he wasn't 100% up to it at that time, Pearson didn't want him sold, Hoos did & then NP agreed as long as it wasn't to a rival, Hoos promptly then sold him to Leeds, who were a direct rival at the time. And as for players playing for themselves? There is an added je ne sais quoi which a manager brings to a collection of players that makes them more than any old collection of players, a togetherness & spirit where players go the extra mile for each other. Not for the manager, especially when the manager is all about the strength of the unit, not a collection of individuals.... If it was that simple, then Sven's All-Star Championship line-up, would have walked the division rather than not even troubled the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 30 July 2015 Share Posted 30 July 2015 We're absolutely hopeless. What another disaster. The owners have a lot to answer for. This is the third consecutive transfer window we've failed miserably in. Unless by some miracle Claudio can bring in some additional quality we're going to finish bottom of the league. This complete fiasco feels like beginning of the end and another 10-20 year stint in the lower leagues. I'm not sure I can bare to watch the first game of the season. So depressing.

Tielemans63 Posted 17 August 2015 Share Posted 17 August 2015 Maybe a few people were a bit hasty on this one. Assuming we complete the Inler deal today our summer business will look like this: In: Gokhan Inler - £5 million Robert Huth - £3 million Christian Fuchs - Free N'Golo Kante - £5.6 million Yohan Benalouane - £5.6 million Shinji Okazaki - £7 million Out: Chris Wood - £2.5 million David Nugent - £4 million That's pretty good business in anybody's book. Rudkin can't take all the credit for that but surely he deserves some recognition for what looks to be a pretty successful transfer window.

Babylon Posted 17 August 2015 Share Posted 17 August 2015 He shouldn't take credit, just as he shouldn't be lambasted when things don't go our way. None of us really know what he does or if he's good / bad at what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know his job title. He might be highly regarded... but on here we've flip flopped from "Rudkin is great", to "Rudkin is shit" about 5 times already since the end of last season. Sign a player "yay he's great", miss out on a player "booo he's rubbish". Nobody has a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody has a clue about much of what goes on behind the stands at the KP but doesn't stop people having an opinion ,and that's cool it's what makes the world turn , opinions , maybe Instead of being dismissive and shouting people down appriciate peoples contribution What we can see is what's happening on the field since he has taken over have improved in signings and on field play , what ever his role , he could be curling the hairs on tops big toe for all I care , as the director of football it's fair and reasonable to praise his work when the football is good and signings working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted 17 August 2015 Share Posted 17 August 2015 So was the owners money.Wymeswold made a good point and you just skipped right over it.Rudkin has been an academy coach since the 1990s and became its director before the 2003/4 season. In 2007, our u18s won the FA Youth Premier League. His academy has developed Jeff Schlupp, Andy King, and Liam Moore (along with other prospects that have since moved on). He did all this before King Power bought the club. Our academy wasn't La Masia, but there's no doubt Rudkin had a significant hand in its improved performance reputation through the 2000s.

St Pauli Rayo and Leicester City Humm the anti facist , Marxist fox LOL Supporting the leicester away in the 80's and 90's with the Squad around would have been a serious clash of ideologies for you I have been to the Hamburger Derby with a celtic group about 5 or 6 years ago think it was a draw the game , was an interesting weekend and a facinating experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah you're alright thanks. I can have an opinion on rocket science, but if I know nothing about it what's the point? We've already had three threads this year about how shit he is (when I defended the bloke). People are ridiculously reactionary, sign someone he's great, don't sign someone and he's shit. Them signing or not signing could have nothing to do with him. What we can see is what's happening on the field since he has taken over have improved in signings and on field play , what ever his role , he could be curling the hairs on tops big toe for all I care , as the director of football it's fair and reasonable to praise his work when the football is good and signings working You don't find offering praise out to someone who could just be throwing money around left right and centre and doing little of note a bit troubling?

Going well so I think it's fair and balanced to praise him I take your point it's all a bit reactionary at times , it's a fair point I bet Fred Goodwin had served his apprenticeship too. I think the point Babylon is making is that none of us can really know if he is doing a good or bad job because we don't have enough information.
