Rudkin

[cruzFOX]

Wow reading that makes me feel so sad and angry. What hold does this parasite worm of a man Rudkin have on our club and why can we not get rid of him? He has sucked the lifeblood out of this club. No one respects him, no one likes him. It’s obvious he’s staying for the money while he can get it.

IF we get new owners surely they will see Rudkin is a cancer at the club and must be terminated with immediate effect!

I bet he will try to worm his way into staying with the new owners. Disgusting man 😡

[LCFCJohn]

Vile vile stain on the club. 
 

Yet the young players who leave get criticised for wanting to? People having  pop at the likes of Nelson for not signing a new deal.

 

Why would any of them want to stay at the club whilst this oxygen thief is running the show?

[Foxin_Mad]

This scumbag shit stain is the exact reason we are where we are. I am not sure anything improves until he is gone. 

 

We have been in decline ever since he took over as DOF.

[HP1]

If he was called Rudkinho he would be talked about as one of the best DOF's of all time

 

 

Obviously its a joke

Ex-England youth retires age 22 after poor treatment at Leicester
A former England youth international has retired from football after losing passion for the game while at City.
By
Thomas Bradley Alderman

Kelechi Chibueze grew up with the typical dreams of every young footballer, imagining himself climbing the ranks and making his mark on the professional stage. He first tasted lower organised football before catching the eye of some of the biggest academies in the country, representing England at youth level and earning a reputation as one of the brightest goalkeeping prospects of his generation.

Chibueze's journey took him through the elite systems at Chelsea and Leicester City, where he hoped to develop into a top flight player, before eventually signing for Sunderland, becoming a regular fixture with their under-21 side. Despite being part of first-team training sessions under Regis Le Bris, he never made a senior appearance for the Black Cats and was released at the end of the 2024/25 campaign, prompting him to walk away from the sport entirely at just 22 years old.

Even after his departure, the English found kindness in unexpected places, as Sunderland's Luke O'Nien quietly approached him in a hot tub, of all places, to offer support and share his own experience of being released by Watford. O'Nien urged Chibueze not to be disheartened, to keep pushing forward and to continue working hard, a gesture that meant a great deal to the young goalkeeper given the defender's own commitments to Sunderland's promotion push.

Chibueze's troubles, however, began long before his time on Wearside, with his spell at LCFC marking the point where his love for the game began to fade away. The LE2 organisation has faced repeated accusations of mistreating players, with chief football officer Jon Rudkin frequently at the centre of criticism from former members of the squad.

Shane Flynn spoke out publicly, essentially describing Rudkin as rude, robotic and openly dismissive when discussing the futures of players who had given years of service to the academy. Alex Smithies later echoed those concerns, recalling a particularly cold and insensitive dismissal that left him feeling undervalued and discarded after his time at King Power Stadium.

 

Kelechi Chibueze quits after Leicester City experiences
The goalkeeper's experience was no different, and in many ways far more damaging, as he watched his passion evaporate almost completely during his time at Seagrave (City's training ground). He asserted that all enjoyment was stripped away from football during his years with the Foxes, leaving him feeling empty and disillusioned with a career he had once dreamed of.

This damning indictment of the King Power culture adds to the growing chorus of voices calling for change, with many supporters arguing that the ownership group must step down as soon as possible to allow a fresh start. What makes Chibueze's story even more striking is the way he describes his daily existence at Leicester, where he felt less like a developing player and more like a prop for others.

"It became really difficult, and that was when I started to lose my love and passion for the game."
Sunderland Echo
The one-time Three Lions Under-16 explained how he was often used as little more than a mannequin during first-team training sessions, standing in so that senior goalkeepers could complete their drills while he received no meaningful coaching or game time himself. Whilst temporary transfers are blocked by Rudkin until he decides to leave, then eventually retire at 22.

Not the most relevant part of that article of course, but "the LE2 organisation" is an incredible second mention.

Scum

[Gazza M]

This latest shambles is all on him again. 

Lousy manager appointed. Recruitment a joke. Surely anyone sits down and asks which positions do we need and sorts out first. Yet 10 days to go in window and we are looking for 2 new CB and another striker.

He doesn’t employ himself. It’s disgraceful that he’s so lacking in shame that he’s happy to stay in a job that he’s clearly not able to do. And that the clear negative impact he’s having on so many other people isn’t enough of a motivator for him to leave. But it’s entirely Top’s fault that it’s been allowed to go on.

[Kisnorbo fox]

Just think off all the luxury holidays rudkin gets to go on each year at the expense of the recurring season ticket holders each year paying inflated frozen prices for shite football. Hard earn money paying a blokes wages to do a job he can’t do ….

Not all, Top has watched it happen and somehow been oblivious to it.

[Dames]

He will cling on for as long as humanly possible because he full well knows he will never have it this good again no matter what happens to the club in the process. 
 

Should have gone after the Silva debacle the fact hes been allowed to stay on so long has ruined this club. 

[Claudio Fannieri]

If he genuinely has one iota of love or care for this club he will step down with immediate effect, he hasn’t and he won’t. Absolute disgrace and still people will defend him and King Power. Just fecking go enough is enough 

[Clogger_]

Why are you here to keep ruining our football-supporting lives Jon? Time to hang up the too-tight and entirely pointless tracksuit 

[Clogger_]

P.s. Nige always knew you were a knobhead didn't he

He's gonna...

Don't think Top will come back and wants a quick sale.

[Corky]

Does he do anything other than state blankly at the pitch?

[Tommy G]

Rudkin goes when Top goes, so may aswell lock this topic. He isn’t going anywhere before 

[Hales]

He doesn't have the integrity to leave.......

No chance of a quick sale, anybody smart enough will wait it out and watch the value of the club plummet.
