I genuinely don’t know what Martyn Glover does. There are so many players out there, especially across the European leagues that are cheap, and easily enhance the quality of our squad in nearly every position. He is a waste just like Rudkin and Aiyawatt.

Identifies players you would expect, it's not his job to sign them and it's not his job to find the money to pay for them.

Wrexham have apparently bid 19m for an Angers striker 

 

They have about 30 strikers

We are currently in a position where we can't really judge Glover due to the fact for all we know he could be presenting multiple players to rudkin and co all the time and them just being turned down due to budget restraints/ rudkin has never heard of them / incompetence or he could be as incompetent as the rest of them its hard to tell currently

We also have a loan spot. One of the Heskey's is going to Sheff Weds on loan, we could have easily done that deal. 

Emile probably looked the the stability of the clubs and chose the best option

We can absolutely judge Glover for the state of the recruitment for the years he's been here.

My point is we have no clue how many different people he is suggesting that get turned down by the person in charge of signing them e.g. Rudkin

 

So yes we can judge the recruitment team as a whole = awful

 

However we know based on work above multiple heads of recruitment Rudkin has been consistently awful. 

 

What we don't know is whether Rudkin's awfulness is suppressing good ideas/signings Glover has/ has had and its hard to know if this is the case whilst he is working under Rudkin.

 

You could look at previous positions he has been in and see how he worked under different DOFs/ managers to see if his results were any better there if they were its possibly Rudkin keeping him down if not he is probably just as awful.

 

But because Rudkin is so bad its hard to make a judgement on his time here alone

We have no money, more likely need to sell to balance books, allegedly face a points deduction, fans are not attending matches, the likelihood of signing expensive forwards are slim at best…..the window so far highlights our situation to a tee…..

2023 was a strong summer of recruitment, and the first time we had a talented coach with a clear style since he arrived. From what I remember, Fatawu and Mads were both Glover recommendations. 

 

You have to remember for 2024, a number of players rejected a move due to the potential points reduction, and we ended up getting Steve Cooper targets like Ayew and Skipp. 

 

The manager still has the final say on signings at Leicester, as shown by the Diabete move being held up by Marti. 

 

Until the structure of the club changes, the director of recruitment will more likely struggle than not as it's so dependent on the manager.

I suspect on deadline day we’ll be holding on for a striker on loan, and perhaps some replacements will occur if we have any unexpected sales. 
 

otherwise, probably not much

Yeah, just like we did with Carranza and Edouard. That worked out well.

Why would we want one of Heskeys lads on loan? They both play positions we already have young lads in that can't get a game.

Anybody else thinking the magical PSR issues are just a smokescreen for a bankrupt Kingpower ? Who could potentially be syphoning money out of our club ? Whilst macing us up with more loans ! 
 

There is no way this is just PSR problems.

No I'm saying where did you get the figure of £10mill from given that the Turkish club Fatih had an option on him and there's no way they can afford that kind of fee.

There are suggestions that Chelsea will try to recoup as much of the £10m they paid Molde for Fofana a few years ago when they sell him this month, and at that price City would likely be out of the running.

If there was a fee, that would rule us out. 

 

We must be one of very few few, if any, clubs not to spend a single penny this season.

We publicly publish our finances every year you would be able to see if King Power had been taking money out of the club. They haven't. There is plenty to criticise the owners for without making up false narratives.

Ahh yes, famously transparent company accounts

Dowell who we were linked with is heading to Hull.

Can see us looking at Osmajic on loan on deadline day as Preston want rid and I believe we've been interested in the past, followed by him being banned for the rest of the season

[ts_1010]

I wont believe that the upper management have been honest with the managers about transfer budgets for years now.

 

We always see our managers talking about looking at targets and wanting/expecting players in. Surely they wouldn't be saying that stuff if they had been told there was no cash available? 

 

Even players like sensi who seemed to be almost done, or Jago who seemed to think he was coming. 

 

It's like the club are trying to get hold of players but are being politely ignored by the guy who signs the cheques.

There's a lot to really dislike about us as a club but signing this horrible racist would really be the icing on the rotten, expired, dreadful cake.

No.

The accounts do not say that at all.

[Reg Vardy]

Accounts can often make a silk purse out of a pigs ear……so if we are flush, and investing in the future, why does it feel like we haven’t spent a penny for 12 months?
