Matt_Lcfc Posted 29 April 2018 Share Posted 29 April 2018 Does anyone ever query the owners? Don’t shoot me down I’m asking a serious question. Look, the owners have been great, invested mass amounts of cash and paid of the debt and have been big contributors to the success in the last few years. However, I’m starting to question them, Shakespeare’s long term appointment was weird and Puel is now looking like a bad appointment. I’m questioning their choices of recent times inc players being bought in, Rudkin has a lot to answer for along with most of the people below him. I’m just starting to question their skills in owning a football club, I feel like if Puel goes and a bad appointment takes place people will start to turn on them. I accept we could do a lot worse and I’m not criticising them, I’m just questioning the descions of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Mister Posted 29 April 2018 Share Posted 29 April 2018 They've made poor managerial selections apart from Pearson and Ranieri. Also they persist with the same crap that's offered at the higher level, i.e. the Director of Football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their only fault is, as I see it, is to trust Rudkin. They have been brilliant and King Power is a successful brand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osavo Posted 29 April 2018 Share Posted 29 April 2018 I don't question their motives at all, they obviously want what's best for the club and are willing to invest large amounts of money to achieve success. But you're right, some of the managerial appointments since they arrived have been very poor, in fact out of 6 appointments, only two have been successful (Pearson and Ranieri) and Pearson was a man they had previously pushed out of the club. However, I don't think the appointments can be completely put down to them. I think, personally, they have been badly advised, and through naïvety have allowed Rudkin to achieve a position of power far above his station. He has weedled his way into their 'inner-circle' if you like, something which he did I believe around 14-15, when he began sitting up in the stands with them? They have placed too much trust in him to make footballing appointments, however they did it mainly because they felt he was a man who knew the club and could do right by it. What they failed to consider was the fact he had no previous directing experience and was essentially just a youth football coach. So no, I don't question the owners. I question the people around them at board level, Rudkin, Macia, et al. They are responsible for the bad appointments and shocking transfer business.

Ian Nacho Posted 29 April 2018 Share Posted 29 April 2018 I think they have the final say when it comes to sacking a manager, however, when it comes to recruitment, I don't think it has anything to do with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mod hero Posted 29 April 2018 Share Posted 29 April 2018 If it is Rudkin that makes the call on the new manager I think he might go for Wagner. Sure I read somewhere he tried to get him before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splinterdream Posted 29 April 2018 Share Posted 29 April 2018 Managerial appointments is a bit of a lottery though isn't it? Everybody thought Ranieri would fail, he didn't, the players seemed to respond to shakespeare, it seemed most thought he should be given a crack, Puels promise of developing youth, bring us a new plan seemed a good idea, it's a faith game, they either give Puel money and time or they get rid, unfortunately Puels has not shown anything which will give them any confidence which is why he'll probably be gone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katieakita Posted 29 April 2018 Share Posted 29 April 2018 They clearly take guidance and trust those giving the advice. They have made mistakes and they have paid for it by the million, tens of millions. They gave us a trip never expected or never to be forgotten and have committed to a huge new training complex on a par with any club in Europe. They like all owners will make mistakes and have made mistakes but put them right. Struggling to think of better owners maybe Man City bought they bought the title we won ours. Any mistakes will not be deliberate and they only want what is best for the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Spudulike Posted 29 April 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 29 April 2018 We will be forever in their debt if their lagacy is the best training complex in Europe and a forty-four thousand seater stadium.

dayday Posted 29 April 2018 Share Posted 29 April 2018 Puel got the job because he had big plans on the style of football, the youth team and above all the direction he was taking us, you could see why the owners ultimately went for him. You only have to look at the likes of Eddie Howe and Marco Silva, it doesn’t always work out. So you can’t really blame the owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SemperEadem Posted 29 April 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 29 April 2018 (edited) They are not without their faults. Done a lot of good, but the way a large proportion of the fanbase put them above managers and players to me is uncomfy.

How have we seen that go in the past - where Chairman interfere with a side they know very little about? The owners should only concentrate on the areas they excel at, the business and branding side of the club. That's not to say they can't have input on an important decision such as a manager and what's happening on the pitch - but they are doing the right thing in having football people separate to them advising on these issues and assisting in the decision making process. Whether you think those football people are any good (i.e. Rudkin) is another matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
