To compound the offence, we've let Mendy go!

IF we have let Drinkwater and Mendy go, without being 100% sure that Silva could be registered to play, this could be one almighty fook up. Amartey is shite in midfield. James blows like a fookin train. Iborra..I have no idea, King is a upper Championship standard player and Ndidi is a kid who needs to be playing alongside quality to develop. Added to that, we have Mahrez who did just about everything he could to get out. That don't bode well to me.

If Rudkin's responsible for the person who screwed up, who's responsible for Rudkin?

 

We're good at taking our time, I know. Robins said he was surprised by how long it took us to complete the George Thomas deal, so maybe it's not only fans who see this. But if the deal has fallen through, the problem could run deeper than the efficiency of a single department.

 

When you sell a key player and look to replace him, you make sure the replacement is lined up. If you're in the position of doing both on the same day, the incoming player and his fee should really be prioritised ahead of the outgoing player. A club ambitious enough to prioritise short-term on-field success over short-term financial gain would, you'd imagine, do this.

 

It'd worry me if we routinely did these things the other way round, because it would say a lot about the way the club is being run, and where the priorities lie.

 

Of course, the problem could yet be fixed. Or it might turn out that we did prioritise Silva, and did nothing wrong whatsoever, in spite of the late registration. And we'll look as daft for rushing to conclusions as those who were celebrating Silva's arrival before the verdict was delivered.

No ones responsible for him, he's a director

If that's true then we need to change our formation,  there are plenty of teams with worse midfields than us anyway. Frustrating to say the least though.

So we're in a situation where we've effectively lost a key player and can't replace him until January.

 

Superb work.

He's above reproach in the eyes of our owners and many of our fans too.

We were trying to change our formation by getting this guy in, now we've got to go back to balls over the top

Still hope they can appeal or whatever, but that's a tough one. With our luck, as soon as we can play Silva, we'll see Mahrez on his way out.

He reports to the Chairman, obviously. The owners are ultimately responsible for our internal management. Rudkin's not a law unto himself.
