Ruud van Nistelrooy - New Manager - Official

[AjcW]

I’m bored so I’ll throw in something that’s probably nothing. 
 

Private jet leaving EMA for Amsterdam tomorrow morning. Not a route it’s done in recent history according to flight trackers.

Ruud taking the lads to Amsterdam to celebrate relegation obviously.

Theres probably enough room for him and anyone he’s not pissed off (it’s an 8 seater…)

[Leicester_Loyal]

Be funny if he is there next season, might eventually get the fans to turn on this board and the owner.

 

I think he'll be gone though and we'll have a new manager next season.

[Lambert09]

Can’t believe he’s going to get 4m for this. 
 

Rudkin is genuinely braindead. We had all the cards and he still didn’t put a relegation clause in.  Utter buffoon

Let me try and find it again. 
 

Makes sense though as Percy confirmed there’s no relegation clause. so we’ve got another 2 years on his contractz

 

2 mill a year sounds about right to me 

[Danizen]

Why the fvck is there not a relegation clause? There was hardly a queue of clubs in for RVN.

[TheFiveTime]

[dannythefox]

Funny in mental institution type way 

[Mon.is.a.god]

It’s hilarious reading the first few pages of this thread and the idea Ruud would be a success due to his looks!

Losing 16 out of 18 games. 
9 home games without scoring. 
Only picking up 8 points since taking over in November. 
What possible reason is there to even consider keeping him? 
Get rid today. 

Even Ginettas barmy army can put their pringles down in anger to that surely.

Worst manager ever.

 

We would have survived if we gave Cooper a chance. Even though we didn’t, we were still above the relegation looking threatening.

 

[Claudio Fannieri]

Given Top’s plane is due to leave at 16.40 this evening and there is a private jet booked to leave EMA to Amsterdam tomorrow morning, I am going to take a stab in the dark and say an announcement to be made this evening some time after 5pm that RVN has left the club. 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

He'll go soon but Top won't get of Rudkin 🤷🏽

No we weren’t, we had lost 5 of the last 6 games, the one game vs Ipswich where we shithoused a draw in the last minute after Ipswich went down to 10 men. And if you say threatening you mean the way we barely had an attack against Chelsea until the final minute of the game in his final match. 
 

Cooper was an appalling appointment as was Ruud, the club made two woeful choices, if Cooper had stayed we would have probably been on a similar run, we were conceding chances for fun.

We need a Mark Mc Ghee or a Nigel Pearson in my opinion they were the 2 managers that laid foundations for the best teams in my football lifetime. Whos out there now to build us back up ?

Mark mcghee? Other than Scott Taylor what foundations did he lay? Edit Pontus too.

I just remember him taking over from little and they started playing a more passing game that O'Neil then took to the next level. happier days

Come off it, Cooper was just as bad and had some of his own players in.

 

There wasn't a manager (who we could attract) who would have kept us in the league once the transfer window closed. Shocking recruitment, and general poor running of the club coming to a head.

 

Perfect chance to hit the reset button now. A Maresca-style appointment, good youth prospects and a smattering of generally solid 2nd tier options on the books.

If he can replicate the performance against QPR consistently in the championship next season, he's more than welcome to stay.

Even if you didn’t like Cooper, you can’t say he was just as bad. It’s biased and incorrect. Cooper was miles better than Ruud in every stat going. We scored in every single PL home game under Cooper and always picked up points against the teams around us. To go from scoring in every home game under Cooper to not scoring in nine on the trot under RvN shows the gulf between them.

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

If it’s true that Ruud has no relegation clause that is just yet another example of beyond weak negotiating from Rudkin et al. Baffling.
