Ruud van Nistelrooy - New Manager - Official

[Cat Burger]

RVN is diarrhea,

Cooper was a solid stool .

It's still poo.

[HankMarvin]

The defeat means Leicester have now won just one of their last 14 league matches, losing 12 of them.

That victory came away to Tottenham back in January, and they have lost seven home league matches in a row without scoring since.

Leicester are in fact the first club in English top-flight history to manage the unwanted feat.

 

Those seven home losses have produced a combined aggregate score of 18-0.

The goalless run dates back to a 2-2 draw with Brighton at the King Power Stadium in December.

Bobby DeCordova-Reid's late equaliser against the Seagulls remains the club's last home Premier League strike.

The Foxes have since been beaten to nil on home soil by Wolves, Manchester City, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Arsenal and Brentford.

It follows an impressive start to the season in front of their own supporters.

Leicester found the net in each of their opening eight home league fixtures following promotion back to the Premier League.

That's what I thought, I think he maybe be concerned he's unlikely to get anywhere near a top job now

His only chance will be if he can prevent the current squad going down to Div one after next season. That'll be no mean feat.

[fox_favourite]

He's given up. The club has given up on him. The players are poo. 

 

Just get rid. 

[Ian Nacho]

We CANNOT let the bloke be in charge next season. Momentum is such a massive thing in football and if we carry on with the same manager in the Championship we'll just continue the cycle of losing; just look at Luton. We need to break the cycle. 

[Vestan Pance]

A much worse manager than Peter Taylor. Absolute crap that once again due to total mismanagement, we appear to be stuck with unless he walks.

Might be a clause that means it's less to sack him if we are relegated 

This surely is the case.

 

From the outside it doesn't appear he can reshape our squad moving on to next season. Can he? The club would surely need to be convinced of that to keep him in post?

 

As much as so many of our squad have become detestable, with the right manager they would be more than adequate in the championship next season.

 

We need a strong manager who would shape those we retained (or can't get rid of) but hopefully introduce some of the promising youth we need to see to both refresh the squad and also the supporters belief in the team.

 

But right now it takes a lot of convincing that Ruud would be that man?

[HankMarvin]

He has shown nothing that warrants being given the role next year, without a doubt the worst manager in the clubs recent history. 
If he still in a job by the end of the season it will be down to the precarious state of the finances 

[bluefox1]

How is this useless,clown,fraud, dickhead of a manager still got a job.

Should have been sacked weeks ago and really should never had been employed in the first place.

TOP GROW SOME BALLS AND GET RID TOMORROW.

[Leicester_Loyal]

Gotta be our worst manager ever, and probably the worst PL manager ever?

 

He's been dreadful.

[Lako42]

Top is responsible for lumbering us with this joke of a manager. 

 

**** off Top

Hot take! Taylor's extensive track record of utter failure wherever he managed sets a high bar for others to clear.

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Sack him and employ a clothes horse instead

Well he did come to us on the back of a promotion at Gillingham. RVN has nothing on his CV.

Well, Ruud certainly *could* be worse, but I doubt he'll get as many chances to prove it as Taylor!

[Dan]

I wonder if that was his last ever game as a manager. With an international break coming he might just call it a day, why wait a couple of months.

 

He's unemployable after this. Regardless of how dreadful those above him are (and they really, really are) he's quite frankly as bad a manager as I've seen. Just hopelessly out of his depth.

Taylor also presided over much more 'success' here. 

 

You can argue the toss over who is responsible for that success but the brass tacks is that the team he managed scored and won much more.

[Soar Fox]

With Newcastle & Liverpool our next 2 home games it’s very possible that we might not see a home goal until the Southampton game in May. 

[filbertway]

I'm not 1 bit shocked if he's leading us out for the 1st game of next season

Pathetic by him tonight.

 

What was he playing at at the final whistle? Hugged all the United players than turned his back on our fans and ****ed off down the tunnel. Complete coward and completely out of his depth.

Absolutely correct did the same at Old Trafford complete disrespect to the club that employs him and our supporters. Given his total ineptitude as a manager and coach he needs binning off immediately. I have zero respect for him.

[JeffreyDiddum]

Don’t flame me. 
 

But I can’t quite believe what is happening at Leicester City. You were no great shakes under Cooper, but outside of the LCFC fan community, I think it would be reasonable to say most neutral football supporters didn’t see this ending well from the start.

I appreciate that as a fan who watches every week, supporters have a unique perspective of what’s going wrong at their club, but from my perspective Cooper was pretty low down the list of issues. Again, I appreciate many fans who have to watch every week may have found the football turgid, but given Leicester’s squad and financial limitations, most neutrals thought he was doing okay. 
 

It’s clear the owners picked the wrong man, and it’s clear you’re going down. 
 

In my opinion, the sensible and pragmatic thing for Leicester to do is thoroughly consider a managerial shortlist in the coming weeks, forgoing reputations and “exciting” names, and seek to bring in a head coach/manager to rebuild the squad during the summer, ready for what will be a gruelling Championship campaign.

 

I have real concerns that due to the aforementioned existing financial issues, a summer root and branch rebuild will be next to impossible, so in my view you will need to hire an experienced, pragmatic manager with the ability to get the most out of limited players and drive their ambition to return to the Premier League.

 

RVN has to go ASAP, to give time for the stench to dissipate, I fear for you that the longer he stays, the more possible a double drop becomes.

I'm genuinely amazed he hasn't walked. Every game that passes he is destroying his reputation a little bit more. I can't see him ever getting another job other than at a lowly Dutch team maybe. Totally clueless and out of his depth, and whilst the players are crap, any half decent manager would have us getting points and at the very least, scoring a goal every now and again. 

[Shetland21]

Lifelong supporter so have been familiar with the ups and downs. The last decade has been great! Sadly the next holds little hope on the basis of what I see now……shocking decision making at high level recently is just unbelievable. 
I moved to Northumberland 2 years ago and see a future supporting the Toon after today!…….sorry Leicester but I reckon you are in the wilderness now for a long time unless you pull a rabbit out of the hat and change your management. A starter is to get rid of the useless RVN………never seen anything as bad as him.

 

[BenTheFox]

He was setup to fail, I have no doubt about that. However, he is a terrible terrible manager. This squad is bad, but to lose 13 out of 14 and not score in 7 home games is unacceptable. He's made them even worse. 

[Foxin_Mad]

To be honest what is the point of trying to keep it ‘tight’ when none of our defenders have a clue. We’d be better going gung ho and shoving on as many attacking players as possible, at least we might score a few.

 

The team look utterly clueless, no movement no structure.
