But she's not, she's the CEO. The money person is the Finance Director. There's also a General Counsel, Strategy Director and Operations Director. The finances, strategy and football advice have been shit for the last 3 years at least. To a man, they should all quit if our charges are upheld. They're all culpable in some way.

If Rudkin is "Ultimately responsible" for football matters, then she's ultimately resonsible for financial matters. She's on the board, she's CEO she has her name all over the accounts. 

 

The overspending has been a decision approved and agreed by all the key people at the club. I doubt the people lower down the chain somehow said "oooops sorry Susan, we've overspent by £100m" and it came as a shock. They will all just be following orders from the top. 

 

I think it's obvious what happened, we gambled but thought we easily had the assets to cover off the overspend and we'd be able to sell them off. Honestly, at the time that wasn't too much of a fanciful thought process when you look at where we were and the quality in the squad. 

 

What we didn't bank on were injuries, some of which totally wrecked players for a long long time and ruined them as high quality saleable assets. Ricardo, Ndidi and Justin to name three pretty much wrecked by them (we got lucky with fofana). Then we had badly timed injuries to the likes of Maddison and Barnes, who both had injuries problems that were ongoing for a while and would have put people off.

 

Secondly, the running down of contracts. Tielemans and Soyuncu both decided it was time to try something new, and when Maddison got fit and in form, he also got added to the running down contracts list. 

 

Thirdly, all our signings flopping from the bit cash spalsh after covid.

 

And lastly, the total capitulation of the teams form and Rodgers throwing everyone under the bus for his own personal benefit. Honestly should have been sacked there and then that summer for the shit he came out with. 

 

It was a perfect storm of shitness, and it totally wrecked their idea of selling off assets.

Yes he is one of the least charismatic men you'll ever meet, or at least he was back in the day.

When we discuss how we let certain players, contracts run out and not actively sought to sell, it annoys me as I look at Brentford who are in the process of getting something for Toney when it looked like there was very little interest him. Mount is another example of a player last season who didn't really stand out in terms of form but with a year on his contract, Chelsea got some serious money for him. 

 

How are others making it work but us not?

I hate to sound like a broken record but it’s simple, our players are on inflated wages.

 

Mount was on relatively low wages at Chelsea (a theme with the majority of their academy minus Hudson-Odoi).

 

I’m also going to predict that Toney’s wages are less than that of Daka/Soumare etc too.

They're on big wages because Rudkin is a bad negotiator and Top doesn't scrutinise our finances well enough.

I've walked past him a couple of times at away games before. Spoke to him at Burnley.

Please get off your backside today and do something useful and try to get rid of Sourmare or a swap deal with some youngster in the French lower league. 

Your job isn't just buying players but offloading unwanted players as well, we seem to have so many players that have run down their contracts and gone on a free 🙄 ...it's so embarrassing for Leicester.

Other clubs are managing or trying to do it....why can't you?

Can't understand why Top isn't on to you very day to day pressuring you.

get him out, for the good of the club

 

the idiocy of this man and his "negations" we've gone from good targets to  "wtf we are paying 8mil for Ayew"

 

part of the reason this club has gone from well run to laughing stock within 5/6 years

8 million on ayew.

 

Palace fans celebrating the deal unsurprisingly.

 

It feels like a few years back when we made some panicky type signings to cover injuries, seems to suggest to me Rudkin and co rate Daka, and Ayew is temporary until Daka is fit again, I honestly dont think we signing another striker.

In the last week we’ve paid £25m for Skipp and £8m for Ayew. Both are players we had a free run at. Both are players we could’ve got early in the window. This fellas decisions are being signed off by the twat of an owner we have and they are going to lumber us with shit for years. Get them both out!

Funny how we used to get it so right before Brighton e.g. Morgan, Huth, Kante, Fuchs, Mahrez, Vardy etc. over 3-5 years and since about 2018 we have got it primarily wrong and repeatedly and some real big howlers, the Southampton defenders, Soumare, even Cannon has seen no game time (not masses of money BUT a waste)

Ayew is worth £4-6m AND Skipp £12-£15m.

How did we get to £20m+ & £8m, muppets.

This could add to a points deduction.

Steve Walsh was a master at those signings with scouting being very good. Seems to be lacking these days. 

 

Rudkin is a clown. Top needs to sort it out, it's gone on long enough.

Rudkin is a clown. The fact that he's still here tells you Top couldn't sort out his socks drawer, let alone this club.
