It’s not coady 

sounds like a player who was on 100k, dropped to 70k with relegation clause and is ow back up to 100k. 
 

sounds like daka or Bouba.   Unless Percy was referring to this season rather than last in which case it could be Ricky 

Vestergaard? We offered him a new contract to stay

For me its

 

Mads

Ricky P

Wilf

Abdul

Bilal

Vards

 

The rest ill genuinely be happy when they can no longer put our shirt on,  its not just lack of talent, its that they are very much unlikeable at times

 

 

I think VK should be included in that list, you cannot say he hasn't put in 100%, his tackle numbers are way above anyone else, he is young and still learning.

[Happy Fox]

He's gone after Sunday, there is no chance he is staying around.

Probably Vardy’s wife. 

This did actually cross my mind. 

Certainly has a track record.

No doubt, the point is as fans we don’t know what’s really going on behind closed doors and why people might x or y decision. What looks a poor decision can in time look like a good one.

 

Take Okoli, digging him out of his boots seems odd when you can just have a quiet word. But, he might be a total d*** and he’s just trying to force people out. (As Nigel did).
 

It’s a long road ahead and a total reset is needed that’s for sure. 

I agree with you.

And then Okoli goes straight to Rudkin? Nah I don't buy that at all

He's a legend, but gets far too much of a free pass on here. 

Yep, Vardy is a club legend, but having been in pretty much every single player leadership group over the last 10 years, it's a common theme that our players down tools and get managers sacked. 
The rumours are the players defied Pearson to stay up, downed tools for Ranieri, downed tools for Puel and helped sack him (Vardy being one of the players least happy with Puel), downed tools under Brendan Rodgers leading to our relegation, openly celebrated when cooper got sacked, and now multiple players allegedly having a bust-up with Ruud, and Ruud calling out poor standards.

For the legend Vardy obviously is, he and other "leaders" in our club over the past seemingly have a habit of downing tools, or at least not driving the dressing room standards we needed. Kasper was another who couldn't do anything wrong in the eyes of the fans whilst as a squad leader we continually downed tools season after season. 

Look, this is a correlation, it doesn't mean it's causation, but it's a running theme over the last decade that we do okay for a season or so then standards drop off and never recover until the manager is sacked. Happened with Ranieri, with Puel, with Shakespeare, Rodgers, you could argue we had a hell of a blip under Maresca where player standards just fell to the floor, but i'd be tempted to just call that form? And now with RVN. It's a hell of a coincidence IMO.

Ruud will inevitably be sacked on the coming days and weeks but top and rudkin can't hide now.

 

Nothing changes until Top sells, unless he brings an entire new board in and changes his ways of working (doubtful).

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

I feel sorry for Ruud to be honest, and at least he has high standards that clearly aren’t being met by many of those around him.

For those older supporters we've seen it all before. It won't be the first time we've been labelled a yo-yo Club.

Yea, didn't like it then don't like it now. Difference we weren't spending big money on wages and transfers. 

So you could understand how we might Yo-yo .

[winteriscoming]

Just watched his press conference. 
I don’t believe anything he says. Don’t think he does himself. Spoke about backing the current squad and transfers. 
Can see a Dyche type ending like at Everton where he did a press conference and was gone hours later.

It's a frustrating situation because he's clearly showing some leadership if he's saying this sort of thing, and rocketing players for standards. He just needs to improve his in game management and show us he can either get us fighting, or at least show he can build something and i'd happily back him in the championship.

Agreed, although, sadly I think we need to be looking to move on past Vardy. He can't play in a 2, and for years we haven't replaced him because the numbers he has put up justified keeping him in the squad and not bringing through a long term replacement, we tried Daka but that clearly hasn't worked. 
We just keep on ending up in the same dilemma of Vardy leading the line and I just feel like he can't do it anymore, if he's going to demand 50-70k a week in the Championship, we need to find a replacement, the Championship if we go down is the perfect time to do that. 

[Hirsty The Blue 94]

It's alright trying to act the big guy when you have a wealth of experience and success behind you, but probably going to fall on deaf ears when you've achieved the square root of bugger all in the game.

 

Respect as a manager has to be earned, can't just come in and throw your weight around from day 1.

 

Club is just on its arse from the Top downwards, very few things that I actually like about this football club at the minute.

No win situation for any manager,  but in this position we find ourselves he needed to probably pick a full strength team for confidence and moral, but it only last that 1 game

[21st Century Fox]

No manager worth their salt will touch us with a barge pole now that Rodgers (possibly), Enzo and now Ruud have clearly been lied to regarding transfers.

[LVFox]

I actually feel for Ruud, no doubt he isn't the greatest coach in the world, but he's been let down by the board on potential incomings (the last January we supported a manager was Pearson for great escape).

 

He's also now seemingly being let down by a bunch of overpaid, overhyped players.

 

He cannot win. **** it, get behind him and let him call them all *****

[ramboacdc]

Do we think Ruud will got at 7pm or 8pm on Sunday then lads?

 

[bovril]

Perhaps we underestimate how well Enzo did last season, certainly in terms of man management.

[Gamble92]

We're still more likely to win the league than when we won it. 4500/1
