Joke club.

 

Had to laugh at the thought of Ruud having a go at Okoli randomly though, just turning to him and going “AND YOU.. YOU’RE JUST A CVNT”. 

can't believe there's footage of it:

It’s more concerning that players feel they can go above the managers head to complain. At least he’s trying to change the culture.

This will have come from the soft players right? So maybe take it all with a pinch of salt

 

Footballers slipping over because of their boots is annoying as shit though. 

 

Wonder who's let this slip, I imagine this stuff happens every weekend in changing rooms up and down the country

My gut is that despite being a Forest fan Percy is genuinely annoyed with LCFC. He's watched them throughout this period and it must be utterly brainblowing which it become a car crash.

You pick your battles don’t you, and plenty of other battles to be picked instead of with someone who didn’t plays boots .

 

I think he would start an argument with himself tbh. Comes across calming during interviews but think he has that old school temper behind closed doors

Disagree personally. It speaks to me a bloke whose trying to hold standards and get form of a proper routine for players to follow. If Okoli can't take some needle occasionally, he aint cut out for it. 

Especially considering he’s been looking to move as soon as he’s gotten here. I like this from Ruud. If you don’t want to be here, then **** off.

What the f**k am I reading!!?? 🤣🤣 club is an absolute shambles 

 

We need to get rid of everyone over £50k a week and start again. Seagrave needs to be used as a place to develop talent not for overpaid players to come for a spa day. 
 

So much needs to change

Probably Rudkin, prep for the sacking.

I can actually understand the previous mismanagement up to the relegation in 2022/23 to an extent. Based on aiming high but making mistakes and missing.

What really baffles and angers me is that we didn't use that as a ground zero for a fresh start and more sustainable way of operating moving forward. We've continued the gravy train and terrible signings thereafter. Coady, Skipp. Choudhury and Vestergaard extensions. Ayew, BDCR.

Quote

Interviewed yet overlooked by Norwich and Birmingham last summer, Van Nistelrooy excelled in talks with Srivaddhanaprabha and Rudkin in Knightsbridge

 

Deemed not good enough for Norwich & Birmingham but beat us twice and you look like the second coming of Fergie

He's Dutch - they don't accept fools. Very to the point.

As usual the fans have to deal with the aftermath these players have been beyond garbage on a match day, probably want to be cuddled on a daily basis, we are in a premier league relegation battle, and they don’t give a f**k.

It gives me a tiny bit of comfort that someone who isn't an LCFC fan can get it like he does. Most outsiders think we're just entitled, which he references in the article.

Tbf, his record with that yanited squad was a lot better than Amorim…….. (though they did play us twice 😄) 

[Haywood_6]

Another defeat to Spurs will be the tipping point. RVN was never set up to succeed here, once you start falling out with players its only a matter of time. I feel for the bloke - who would want this job right now? The club is a total mess.

[st albans fox]

Picking on a sub who never played sounds like fergie after the cantona incident where he really tore into several players before turning to cantina and saying ‘oh and Eric, ye canna do that son’ 

[daddylonglegs]

Hard not to laugh at that article. Just such a shambles in every department of the club.

Most managers will have twigged that we're a shambles off the pitch - both when we appointed Cooper and when we appointed RVN - we can't have had many takers...

After the Fulham defeat, Van Nistelrooy clashed with Buonanotte over his performance as a substitute but the most alarming row was with defender Caleb Okoli, who did not play at all.

 

It is understood that Van Nistelrooy turned on Okoli, a £13 million summer signing from Atalanta, over his choice of football boots and insisted they made him frequently slip over.

 

Okoli was so stunned by the confrontation that he demanded a meeting with Rudkin and now appears certain to leave before the window closes.

 

Okoli getting pelters even though he's not played

I agree, but that conversation has to happen in a different setting surely? Take him aside during/after training, not lay into him in front of the whole squad immediately after a loss that he’s not even been a part of?

tbf Ayew must be close too, cos he just falls over with the breeze

He’s gonna be in a bit of bother with these winds today ain’t he

[Mickyblueeyes]

Slap them some more Ruud. Top is a utter piece of shit for what he’s done to the club.

Is anyone able to post the whole article please? 

[jv1]

[jonny_wright]

It’s gonna take 4/5 years to work through these silly contracts…. Nothing will

change here for years, can realistically see us being the new Sunderland, I can imagine it’s like “Sunderland till I die” behind the scenes

So did Okoli say Rudkin out!
