Rudkin

[Dahnsouff]

Side note - I asked ChatGPT if there is evidence for clubs with a DoF having more success than those without.

 

Seems so, it’s showed than many reports declare exactly this.

 

Sack yourself Jon.

[Fox85]

Still no signings.

 

Time to leave Mr Rudkin 

[alanf0x]

Over to you John to save the season. 
 

Full confidence in you

Glover

Gets benefit of doubt for me. 

 

Someone identified Buonnotte and Bilal and Okoli (who might yet be a very shrewd signing) ....Skipp may well have been identified but not necessarily at 25m - that's not Glover's brief. 

 

Ayew and BdcR and Edward stink of agents, not talent identification.

I think his track record is extremely dubious, not been a success anywhere.

Okoli has agent signs - same agency as Cooper

Our transfer dealings reek of some sort of shady business imo. 

 

Have for a long time.

Rudkin is no longer the biggest issue. He’s a massive issue but the biggest issue is the inept leadership which a) keeps him in place; and b) even if they wanted to get rid can’t because they have no idea how to replace him. 
 

Top is the nugget of shit that won’t flush and that we absolutely need to get rid off. Everything else will fall into place thereafter. 

Can’t we change the lyrics from Vinchi had a dream to top s**t on Vinchai’s dream?

Yep, I’m with you. Very vanilla and can’t look past two out of three bad windows.

The daft sod will think it’s a compliment just hearing his name. Let’s not.

The club are letting the manager dictate what they want and what they get. Which is fine to an extent, but we chop and change our style of manager and no consistency. The affects of that is a team full of players that suit too many different systems and shock, we're a mess. 

 

There's no leadership from the club. No footballing pathway to what we are. This should come from DoF or the head of the footballing side. Ours,  partly to blame for causing us to breach PSR and have over paid players for the stature and ability. It always to fix the current issue and not longer term. I thought that changed with Enzo, but when he left, same mistakes again. 

 

The only consistency in the management of the footballing side is the chaos and that falls on Rudkin. Yet he STILL in charge of an incredibly important transfer window and I for one have no faith in the club being able to get us out of this and get the right players in for the right price. If we bring anyone in at all. 

 

PSR will have a say, but if we don't recruit well, we'll have another frustrated manager to add to the list.

 

Failure over and over again shouldn't be accepted at any level. It wasn't accepted from Cooper or Rodgers. So why is Rudkin allowed to carry on?!

 

As you can tell I'm so frustrated.

....and just like a glorified corner shop at an airport selling toblerones managing to make billions.

 

Millions maybe, at a push, but billions? It has never added up.

It's as if Top and Rudkin only job was to hire RVN and that's it. Job done they can relax and enjoy life, Top can go back to being on a world jolly enjoying his rich lifestyle. Nothing more to be done at Leicester, let the new manager get on with it....no wonder RVN looks dejected

I'm curious - I mean some I feel this way for sure, remember the son of the billionaire (Faiq Bolqiah) for example. 

 

Without going too conspiracy theory on it - if this is the case, it would back up why the owner has one advisor in JR and keeps things very limited/small in terms of exposure/who knows what.

[Wymsey]

Why did he move from the academy, where he seemed to have had a great reputation?

[Lako42]

I mean the whole Bertrand and vestegaard being under Rodgers sons agency stunk. 

[Philkeavo]

Rudkin’s an absolute melt. Period.

[hebangsthedrums]

Can't see a positive outcome from the window - most likely w **** it up & go down.

But if we somehow play a blinder and give RVN the tools for a miraculous escape, Rudders will get another stay of execution

[KFS]

Just give up - this guy has

Isn’t it just lack of creativity and incompetence rather than anything more sinister?

[dillonpanthers87]

Could or should there be a fans invite only Discord to organise/start to actively disrupt/protest the leadership of the club?  @Union FS 👀

Every defeat gets me more and more angry that he is still here and in charge of the footballing operations. 

It really is just draining at this point. It's not a club that is doing the best to be the best it can be. How can anybody get enthusiastic about things in this scenario?

You joke but if it was clear what was being said, that would absolutely destroy Top. Not saying it is a reason not to do it but culturally he is about pride and family, to openly have it sung he has destroyed his deceased fathers legacy would be the worst (or best if you are trying to get at him) thing you could do.
