Ruud van Nistelrooy - New Manager - Official

[Poznan34]

Ange needs a long holiday and possibly some therapy after this season, poor bloke looks completely done. A summer of Rudkin transfer games would not help!

[Stuntman_Mike]

Anyone know if he clapped the fans after the Brighton game, or if he just walked off again?

Walked straight off

That alone should see him gone. How can fans build a relationship with a manager in those circumstances? 

 

Even if he doesn't want to, it's the absolute least he should do.

This is the bottom half after 12 games when we sacked Cooper:

 

 

Palace, Wolves and Everton massively sorted their sh1t out. Fact we were 16th at the time is irrelevant, as there was no way Cooper was going to be able to keep up with any of their points talleys.  

Cooper was getting 0.83 points per game, which over a season would get us 32 points, which would still have got us relegated. Add into the fact 5 of the points he won were against teams below us, makes me think the points per game would have dropped and we'd be pretty much where we are now. He got quite lucky with red cards and last minute goals against Southampton and Ipswich, and somehow Bournemouth not scoring despite being by far the better team. 

 

We've basically been crap all season, with a false league position when he was sacked. But anyone outside of Leicester can't seem to see that.

Not surprised but just confirmation that there's no vision, guidance or planning coming from the top of the hierarchy.

Him staying is enough to keep me away.

 

It needs to be a fresh start, Pearson type appointment. Someone fans want to get behind and someone who gives us a lift.

Can Top see beyond his nose?

Annoyingly no can say they are surprised.

 

No leadership from the club and they are clueless. They need to get their act together now. Have a long term plan, a vision and start to get it moving now, not sit on your hands for tomorrow's problem. Absolute incompetence 

[Nolucklcfc]

It’s almost as though the owner isn’t a football person!!! 

[Iwebema]

Goes along with what I have been told that RVN has tried to get out but we haven't accepted a settlement. I assumed it was money related, but if that's true then it's just Top doubling down on his poor appointment because he stepped in and hand picked this one and won't accept reality. Which given the delusion at board level would fit well.

Customer (fan):

I wish to register a complaint!

 

Shopkeeper (club spokesman):

Ah, yes, Mr. van Nistelrooy... what seems to be the problem?

 

Customer:

I'll tell you what's the problem, my lad. This manager is FINISHED! That’s what’s wrong with him!

 

Shopkeeper:

Oh no, no, no! He’s just resting! Long season, bit tired, you know how it is.

 

Customer:

RESTING?! Look, matey, I know a gaffer on the brink when I see one, and I'm looking at the managerial equivalent of a fish supper left out in the sun! He’s not resting, he’s EX-MANAGING!

 

Shopkeeper:

No, no! Remarkable man, Van Nistelrooy. Brilliant football brain!

 

Customer:

BRILLIANT? He played Danny Ward in a relegation six pointer! If that’s brilliant then I’m Pep in disguise!

 

Look, I’ve had it. I've watched Leicester try to pass out from the back so many times I'm convinced the defenders think the goal line is a fashion runway! And don't even get me started on substitutions—he brings on strikers like he's assembling IKEA furniture: all the wrong parts in all the wrong places!

 

Shopkeeper:

He’s got a long-term vision!

 

Customer:

VISION?! The only vision he’s got is watching the Championship table upside down and thinking we’re top! This isn’t a tactical mastermind, this is a man playing Football Manager on random!

 

Shopkeeper:

You’re exaggerating.

 

Customer:

Exaggerating?! I’d get more tactical nuance from a Labrador with a clipboard! His press conferences are just a series of baffled grunts and the phrase “we go again.” Go again?! GO WHERE? Back to League One?!

 

Shopkeeper:

He’ll turn it around!

 

Customer:

Turn it around?! He couldn’t turn around a shopping trolley in a supermarket aisle! This manager has ceased to be! He’s shuffled off his managerial coil, he’s kicked the tactical bucket, he is an ex-manager!

Still get the idea from this that we are waiting until we are officially relegated before getting rid of him

[AjcW]

“Both sides wanted RVN to continue”

 

Rudkin: “Ruud I was wondering whether you were interested in carrying on doing the job you’re paid a small fortune for without any real consequences?”

 

Ruud: “erm… yes please”

Sunday evening then!

[coolhandfox]

Not a chance he's here for the first game of the season.

 

They didn't keep Dean Smith after relegation who made a decent effort of sorting out Rodgers mess.

Yeah but we can't afford to sack him until the new financial period starts

 

[SuperMike]

Is it 4 points out of the last 54 available? (I can't be ar*ed to work it out). And there are people who reckon he is the man to take us forward???? NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO 

-worst manager in the history of the premier league.

He's a dreadful wet fish of a man - Get the ****er gone 

[South Shire Fox]

Lets hope they lose every game until the end of the season if the cvnts on the board are looking for any excuse to keep the bum

I’m telling you, he will scrape two more draws against the mighty Ipswich and Saints and this ***** of an owner will keep him.

Your confidence is admirable. I wish I shared it. Personally I find it very plausible that they haven’t decided yet and that our results from now until the end of the season may still have a bearing on Ruud’s future with us.
