Nuts. Why on earth this guy persists with the role if this is the case.

I suspect that Top is every inch the idiot that Charlie whassisface says he is and that without Rudkin he wouldn't know what to do.  It's the only explanation that I can come up with.

It can’t be very pleasant for Rudkin, so why put yourself through the mill - unless of course you have no talents and are being very well paid 🤣 

definitely not the worst theory ive ever heard...!

Not really thought about that but it's a depressing reality. If Rudkin left tomorrow with no replacement, the club would somehow be even more in the ****.

 

Off to wash my mouth out now.

So a huge deviation from life with Rudkin then? :sweating:

The club actually is providing increased security/protection for him and his family.

Which is totally unnecessary. The club could go out of existence and I think most Leicester fans would just shrug

With Rudkin he doesn't know what to do.

I also rather suspect this is the case. 

 

He's so utterly clueless with regards to football matters that he just puts blind faith in those around him. I also think analysis paralysis is also a huge factor here. He will be acutely aware of the precarious situation the club finds itself in and he's naive and probably terrified. I don't think he knows what to do and relies on Rudkin for guidance in the hope that this is some sort of temporary setback and that he'll somehow be able to replicate past successes. I've always got the impression that Rudkin is more of a confidante / advisor to Aiyawatt than just a DoF. 

 

This is what happens when a man takes over an organisation when he isn't - and never will be - ready to do so.

It takes us so long to appoint managers, the last 2 have been sacked without being able to recruit. 

 

This is obviously a red flag to potential new managers and making it increasingly difficult to appoint a new manager. 

 

I wonder who is seen as a bigger problem in the football world, Top, Rudkin or both? 

 

If we end up having to appoint Rowett, we could have got him in December when he was sacked by Oxford our relegation rivals, mind blowing **** ups.

Easy to see how Rudders has Top round his little finger. Top's as thick as 2 short planks apparently. 

I don’t think there’s any apparently about it, his interviews proved that 😆

It could be this and maybe Rudkin is a kiss arse who tells him he's great all the time and knows how to play on his ego. Having seen the interview Top gave it reeks of him being surrounded by yes men who tell him everything is going great and nobody is there to call a spade a spade.

He literally is the idiot son of a successful businessman.

Not sacking Rodgers early enough, not paying the money for Coberan or Rohl, the **** ups continue to happen to this day, along with massive contracts/wages.

 

I think brining in Rowett is probably a good decision at this point but we shouldn't even be in this position in the first place.

In regards to your 2nd paragraph the awful thing is there will be KPFC supporters who will praise Top and Rudkin for bringing in Rowett to save the season whilst ignoring the fact and reasons why we are where we are.

Top must be one of the most gullible owner / chairman in the history of football if he believes Rudkin is good for his club ... there's more to this than meets the eye 

Vichai may have been a smart businessman but he failed catastrophically raising such a bum of a son.

Interesting article this on contracts and wages 🤣🙈

 

https://www.planetfootball.com/stats-tables/championship-wage-bill-leicester-city-problem-financial-fears

 

"Unlike most Premier League clubs, which insert relegation wage clauses into their contracts, the Foxes didn’t include them in the contracts of some of their highest-earning players"

Obviously relegation was never an option in their eyes. Sounds like they never had a back up plan if it went tits up. Planks.
