Wouldn’t surprise me if they do want rid but just can’t afford to do it until the next FFP/PSR period

 

But it also wouldn’t surprise me if they think he is doing an alright job (somehow) / or they want to give him more time to hopefully turn it around so they don’t get shown up so quickly as having made a mistake in appointing him - especially if he was Top’s choice

It's exactly this on the first point. 

 

The club did their PSR calculation for the entire season on the understanding they would get rid of Cannon in August. They spent any remaining room on Cooper's sacking and at £3m, all that was left was Woyo in as a total gamble. The Cannon sale just clearly up the summer's spending. 

 

What deeply underlines this is Rudkin's failure to sell players (caused by high wages, comfy culture) means the club have zero headroom on FFP calculations.

They both started the first game of the season against Spurs and Ayew continued to be a regular starter after that. And even if they weren’t regular starters, they were still both ageing players who were taking up spaces in the squad that could have been filled by exciting talent that we’d actually scouted (as opposed be being offered to us by their agents). Cooper said he wanted PL experience and Rudkin went out and obediently obtained some, but the signings of Ayew, BDCR and Skipp all suggest that there is no long-term strategy behind our transfer policy, which in turn suggests a lack of a long-term strategy for the club as a whole. Cooper was not responsible for the  poor squad he inherited, but he squandered the opportunity to improve it. 

There hasn't been long term strategy for years.

 

In the Championship, we should have been looking at players who would improve the squad should we get promoted. Promotion was clearly the aim. Instead we signed players who were decent enough to get us up but not actually good enough for the Premier League (aside from Hermansen and potentially Fatawu).

 

Enzo then leaves and Cooper inherits a poor squad but also doesn't improve it. Getting players with experience is fine but there has to be a limit on what is spent on them. 

 

In the last two summer's we've spent a combined near £35m on three players that have not improved us and we will make a loss on (Coady/Skipp/Ayew). Ayew has at least scored us a match winning goal and a last minute equaliser but the fee in which we pay out for players like this is mental.

It's a shame RVN won't come out and tell some of our players they are going to be sold in the summer like Amorim. Probably can't say that though cos no one will want them

Plenty of people were calling out the club for what a basketcase it was behind the scenes when Cooper was here.

 

I think the difference here though, is that some people are saying changing the manager won't make a difference until we sort those problems out now, which they weren't necessarily saying when we were pretty shite under Cooper

 

[GraceRoader]

Can't see us getting rid of anyone unless their contract is up. Absolute shite on massive wages. We're a mini Man U.

But what ffp/psr limits remain? ... I thought man city showed none of the rules were valid...

To hear people talk you would think we spent £50M on BDR and Ayew one cost £5M the other a free transfer they were signed to be squad playes  not regular starters

I agree, but somebody with a bit of influence needs to tell Ruud that then.

 

What baffels me is, once the two above are replaced, say with Fucandu and Stephy we do see in most cases and improvement. 

 

Surely RvN can see this also on each occasion the swaps are made?

The problem is we dont.

[Filbert Fireworks]

I think it's a shame that by keeping Ruud on the club are effectively accepting we are relegated. 

 

Genuinely think with a half decent manager our squad could pip wolves. Southampton Ipswich are just as bad as we are. 

 

Not sure what Ruud has done to show he is the man for a rebuild. 1 dimensional amd lacking tactical nouance. Maybe the club are just hanging on now to appoint a new manager at the end of the season. 

 

The idea of Ruud managing us next year in the championship makes my blood run cold but we would have a strong championship squad and maybe it's more his level. 

 

Ruud what a shame the gamble didnt pay off and what a shame the club aren't giving it a go at staying up.

I genuinely think top is hoping similar to what happened with Kompany last season with Burnley that a European club will come in for Ruud at the end of the season. Get some compensation. It’s absolutely ridiculous but who knows.

So, what should he do then, continue to start 2/3rd's of Dads Army in attack and continue as is.  You truly think that when swapped we don't look or perform better?

 

I'm not having a pop mate, but just surprised with your reply..  but hey, its all down to options

Facundo has been giving the ball away cheaply for a while. When he came on against Brentford there was some more energy, but he ran into brick walls. He was awful against West Ham, and that clearance that led to the first goal was mind boggling. Imagine if Daka had done that?

 

Mavididi has been really bad for a while. I thought he had a spell earlier in the season where i looked like he was coming along, and arguably he changed the game against Brighton when he came on. 

 

Personally, i would start Facundo and Mavididi, or maybe Ayew over Mavididi. But im not going to pretend those starting 2 in the team are going to keep us up.

Yeah, I have to agree with this. Was hoping both of those players could get us the goals we need to survive but they haven’t shown enough, and this side just isn’t good enough. 
 

I don’t know who in their right mind could build a squad like this (no pace, no ability to beat a man on the dribble, defenders allergic to staying in position, midfielders who can’t pass) and be satisfied thinking this group might have what it takes to survive.

Vincent Kompany had a style of play that he would stick to and would consistently play the same way in detriment to the team I may add. He chose his ego and philosophy over what was best for the club. 
 

With RvN I’m not seeing any style of play he’s not a possession based manager, he’s not a counter attacker, I don’t actually see a style that he sets up the team to play. We don’t score, we can’t defend, we hardly create any chances, he isn’t willing to give any youth players a chance. I just don’t see what he’s got going for him to continued to be our manager next season whatever division we are in.

Revealed: Ruud van Nistelrooy 'unhappy' with Jamie Vardy's 'huge' influence at Leicester amid mounting sack talk

The report claims that Srivaddhanaprabha “listens to Vardy more than Van Nistelrooy”, a dynamic that has created friction behind the scenes. Vardy’s influence is not only said to be affecting Van Nistelrooy, but also causing tension with Leicester’s director of football, Jon Rudkin. The club’s decision-making structure is reportedly shifting, with Rudkin’s role becoming increasingly marginalised due to Vardy’s growing power.

Shit source but probably true. It sums up what's wrong with us. Weak leadership. No problem if Top wants his key players to feel important and listened to. Like his father did, but it seems he doesn't have the backbone to show he's the boss. The culture at the club will never change until this changes.

[FLAN]

So Vardy is responsible for signing all the crud this summer?

I think Vardy runs the club nowadays. He certainly didn't appear to be a fan of Cooper. 

[Silva Fox]

I always suspected Vardy has a big/undue influence, especially on the amount of game time he gets personally. This clearly isn't a healthy situation if RvN is feeling undermined but if it helps to finally remove Rudkin from his role (one way or another) then let's get building that statue!

Did the source say that Vardy had his eye on the managers role, then Director of Football job on his way to become Chairman?

 

 

[moore_94]

Vardy’s fault Ruud looks like a shite manager

 

I knew it
