I'll get hammered for saying this, but they're very naive - they think Rudkin is a brilliant operator....... When they sacked Pearson they has no idea who to replace him with, yes they selected very well in Ranieri, but they were quite lucky again there, Ranieri needed a job to prove himself again. It was a gamble that paid off, if they do that again with Walsh then fair enough, but I really can't agree that they know what they're doing in this instance.

GKD Posted 20 July 2016 Posted 20 July 2016 I hope we keep David Mills. He has been chief scout and is the eyes of Walsh for most of the signings.
Clever Fox Posted 20 July 2016 Posted 20 July 2016 5 minutes ago, Hitesh said: Would Walsh be the most expensive scout ever? Possibly the most expensive for us. Scouts of his calibre are very few and far between. Quite simply he should have been kept at all costs. Even if it meant the Club forcing him to honour his contract. Liverpools problems began when Kenny Dalglish sacked Jeff Twentyman. The Man responsible for bringing Rush, Keegan,Hughes, and the list goes on to the Club. Liverpool have spent a fortune and still cannot get it right. That's how important the likes of Walsh was to our Club. I'm disappointed and annoyed with the Owners for allowing this to happen.
Soar Fox Posted 20 July 2016 Posted 20 July 2016 Wasn't it Walsh who recommended Ranieri to the owners?

Winning the league by 10pts must be bloody lucky anyway good luck at Derby Nigel

What you're saying there is pure conjecture though. You don't think the owners have anything about them? Even after all that has happened since they have taken over?

Allardyce, Hiddink and MON were all approached before the owners indulged Claudio after his "come and get me" plea.
tsintskaro Posted 21 July 2016 Posted 21 July 2016 23 days till season start how many signings has everton done?except goalkeeper none as i know If they really are for Walsh,there is quit little time for transfer activity.what are they thinking dunno I dont see Everton doing anything special next season,bellow 10 position i suppose

What evidence do you have that Rudkin isn't a brilliant operator? And please don't bang on about release clause Bollocks, you think any of these greedy **** players would have signed for us without one? You say that Ranieri was a good appoint but they got lucky? What an absolutely bizarre statement. I can tell you that Claudio was not our first choice (I am not revealing sources) but if you think luck has anything to do with how Claudio has managed and motivated the team, then you are as apparently as naive as our multi millionaire owners. You really think a 64 year old man really cares about proving himself? Everything clicked last season and now we are victim of our own success, at the end of the day as much as we all love this club, the people we employ are not fans, the only interest they have in Leicester city football club is how much the club pay them or how much they could potentially pay them in the future. I think anyone that fvks off is welcome to, I love leicester City, I don't love Ngolo Kunte or Steve bloody Walsh, I don't care what they do.

I think anyone that fvks off is welcome to, I love leicester City, I don't love Ngolo Kunte or Steve bloody Walsh, I don't care what they do. I knew this wouldn't be well received, and I agree with much of what you say - I wasn't suggesting Claudio was lucky, more that the owners were lucky that they landed on a great manager - however I disagree that he didn't need to prove himself, his reputation was shot after Greece and there have always been question marks about his career, rightly or wrongly. He was fantastic last year - the owners were lucky they found someone so good - as they'll admit, they sacked Pearson with no idea who to replace him. I won't say what I know about Rudkin, but a fair bit and you'll see there's been a fair bit stated on here about the way he operates - did you read the John Percy article in the Telegraph last year about the unrest at the club. Yes I know if someone doesn't want to be here then they can fvck but we've seen 3 scouts leave and 2 coaches in the last 6 months - and good ones at that - as a Leicester fan it concerns me we're consistently losing good people, again with no plan on who to replace them with. Why did it take Walsh and Shakespeare 6 months to be offered new contracts and why did the club drag it's heels on this? And as for your release clauses - Kante's is understandable given he had one at Caen, Vardy's wasn't and the Febuary contract was probably the worst I've ever seen, if you can tell me the point of that I'm all ears, we double his wages and left ourselves susceptible to lose him for less money than he's worth.

You actually SAW his contract?

Judging by some of the recent posts and the last one in the Lemina thread coming across as a disgruntled employee of the club so he knows plenty, if so hope it works out for him and perhaps if we ask nicely he can pass on some ITK about new signings.
