Dyche is just the sort of appointment to bring champagne football to the KP :rolleyes:

 

The club cannot seriously be contemplating him or Coleman surely FFS.  I thought that booting CS out might have " be careful what you wish for " stamped across it but I cant hack this.

I know what you mean, I just hope that the board have somebody lined up that can lift us up the table whilst playing watchable football....I actually consider myself lucky for not being able to watch the WBA game (although I'm told the second half was better than posts suggested on FT).

Leicester director of football Jon Rudkin was the man behind Craig Shakespeare’s axing with the Foxes

Rudkin wanted to bring in Huddersfield boss David Wagner last season - but had to settle for Shakespeare even though he wasn't keen

 

NOBODY took Leicester’s director of football too seriously when he showed his face at the club’s training ground.

Jon Rudkin, little known until he was promoted from his role as academy director in 2014, has always been a soft target around the place.

 

But Craig Shakespeare, sacked by Rudkin on Tuesday, will regret that now.

In the fullness of time, goalkeeper coach Mike Stowell and head physio David Rennie may well feel the same way.

Rudkin, with the full support of the club’s Thai ownership, is running the show.

Shakespeare, falling back on his CV as a decent central midfielder with Walsall and West Brom, talked himself into the job when Claudio Ranieri was fired.

Over the last few months, he has talked his way out of it.

Shakespeare under-estimated Rudkin’s power — he has become a trusted and valued member of Leicester’s management team.

And Rudkin was never really having Shakespeare.

As the clamour to give him the job permanently intensified last season, Rudkin was busy trying to convince David Wagner to leave Huddersfield.

To his credit, Wagner — knee-deep in a promotion race with Huddersfield at the time — did not want any distractions in the final weeks of the season.

Those negotiations, with Rudkin desperate to tempt the German coach to leave the Terriers, are the reason Shakespeare was left hanging until June 8.

 

When Wagner turned the Foxes down out of loyalty to Huddersfield chairman Dean Hoyle, they were left with Shakespeare. He was regarded as the interim manager — but Leicester were never really that into him.

The trust, the bond and the alliances which developed when Ranieri led the Foxes to their 5,000-1 shot Premier League title have all been eroded.

Shakespeare denied stabbing Ranieri in the back when the Italian was fired by Leicester just nine months after leading them to that crazy title.

 

Whatever Shakey said about it, he always looked a bit shifty sitting in Ranieri’s place at press conferences and in the dugout.

Shakespeare, with that permanent too-clever-by-half look about him, always appeared like a man who had been up to no good. But he could have got away with that, if results on the pitch had been decent enough.

Instead, the system refined by Ranieri to such an extent that the Foxes won the Premier League crown by ten points, has quietly been discarded.

There is a feeling captain Wes Morgan, so influential two seasons ago, is coming to the end. It is also an open secret that Wilfred Ndidi and Vicente Iborra, the two central midfielders brought in to do the job of N’Golo Kante, are not in the same class.

 

The dressing room dissenters, with Kasper Schmeichel and Jamie Vardy the biggest noises in camp, have been sounding off in recent weeks.

Shakespeare changed it up again on Monday, making the fatal error of shoving main striker Vardy out to the left to accommodate Kelechi Iheanacho.

They drew 1-1 with West Brom — not the worst result — but still one which left Leicester in the bottom three.

For Rudkin, it gave him good enough reason to get rid.

Wow, whoevers reported all of that must have one hell of a source inside the club to know all of these fine details and intentions of so many significant people. Reads like fiction.

 

Not to say theres not people still accountable for our slump over the past 12months in the club at the moment but papers will write anything for clicks and hits these days

I imagine Rudkin wrote that and has referred to himself in third person.
