Nobody even knows exactly what Rudkin does so how the fück people on here know it's his fault baffle me. He has a cünt face so maybe it's just that 

Best reasoning ever lol

 

Seriously though, he definitely takes his face for a shit.

it is scapegoating and ill admit ive done it. People always want someone to blame. You don't want to blame the club as that's not only embarrassing but also quite belittling on the team you support. Therefore you choose the person `most connected' or `most likely' to be at fault which is rudders.

Jon may have helped sign some gems in the past, but seems to be doing his hardest to destroy all that as well.

His card has been marked from the moment we signed six players who were bang-average at best when we had the opportunity to push on from being Champions. And it is moments like these where you seriously have to question why he took so long in getting this one moving AT THE VERY LAST MINUTE.

 

We have had some cock-ups on deadline days, such as the Molla Wague loan which truly stank of desperation. But the idea that we were trying an international transfer with mere hours left was ill-planned, audacious and downright stupid. What an embarrassment. Considering the transfer of Danny Drinkwater was largely dependant on this one happening for both transfers to go through, only for us to be essentially one player-down until January at the very least, it just adds another reason for Jon Rudkin to be taken off recruitment at the very least. 

 

Someone needs to be held accountable for this absolute shambles of a transfer. :angry:

Surely his position basically means he is in charge of getting incoming and outgoing transfers over the line. Very odd trajectory from academy manager to director of football

 

I'd say he has more of a urethra face, but yeah, that doesn't help his case - even if it's not his fault

Can everyone just calm the fvck down and stop having a pop at Rudkin for FIFA's clerical twattery?

 

Let's just look at what Rudkin's done for Leicester City.

 

As Acadamy Director he developed:

Andy King - integral squad member of League One, Championship and the Premier League winning squads and big part of Champions League campaign.

Jeff Schlupp - integral squad member of Championship and Premier League winning seasons; excellent comedy value - Sold for £12.5m.

Liam Moore - intergral squad member of Championship winning season; sold for £2m.

 

As Director of Football:

Kramaric - signed for £9m, sold for £9m 18 months later.

Schwarzer - signed for free

Robert Huth - signed on loan & helped us survived, signed permanently for £3m & helped us win the Premier League.

Christian Fuchs - FREE.

Shinji Okazaki - £7m.

Ngolo Kante - signed for £5.6m, sold less than a year later for £32m

Benalouane - £6m - was very important last season, plus that tackle at Burton was hilarious.

Inler - £3m - not his fault Kante turned out to be a genius acquisition

Nugent - sold for £4m aged 30.

Wood - sold for £3m.

Amartey - £5m - utility player.

Demarai Gray - £3.7m - still got potential IMO.

Zieler - £2m - sold for £4m

Hernandez - Free - sold for £2m 6 months later.

Mendy - £13m - not his fault he got injured 56 minutes into his debut.

Musa - £16m - no comment.

Kapustka - £7m - no comment.

Islam Slimani - £29m - better player than he gets credit for.

Wilfred Ndidi - £15m - still only 20, a massive prospect for our future.

Tom Lawrence - bought 3 years ago for £1m, mostly been out on loan, sold for £7m

Danny Drinkwater - sold for £35m. (a £34.2m profit)

Harry Maguire - £12m - looking like he's the bargain of the summer; 23 years old and already in the England squad.

Vicente Iborra - £12m - Sevilla's captain. Massively experienced and in his prime.

Kalechi Iheanacho £25m - kept this one under the radar. Massive prospect for the future.

Jakupovich - £2m - experienced cover for Kasper

Drogovic - loan - experienced CB cover, still young for that position.

Adrien Silva - £22m - Sporting's captain. Massively experienced and in his prime. Apparently rejected by the notoriously corrupt FIFA, which means that if true, he'll at least get 4 months to train with the squad and get used to each other.

 

Not all of the above are good business. Some of them are really bad. But it's about time the guy gets some sodding credit for the really excellent deals he's done.

 

 

 

 

You lost me at Andy King

Gary, I imagine this post will be lost in a sea of hysteria.

As has been stated many times, it's because Silva's transfer only took place because of Drinkwater leaving, which happened very late in the day.

So it's his job to set deadlines to avoid that situation

Have you used the internet before?

Not since 9/11

Oh ideal.

 

So the two days you use the internet the two biggest disasters in the history of mankind happen. 

 

Have you considered not using the internet?

 

PS I've basically been bored since 9/11.

It's a sobering thought to think about how many times this transfer will be referenced in our future business for the next five years (at least) on here. Time for a drink.

These were the only occasions on which Vodafone were able to get my broadband working. I'm looking into upgrading to a new ISP.
