Made it look a lot simpler than Steve "Fergie" Cooper did, didn't he.

I think all he has to do is beat Ipswich and he’ll be in charge next season. Which is completely wrong. Actually he will prob get a 5 year contract extension if we beat Ipswich from these clowns. 

If I was Ipswich and this was the case I’d throw The game, because Leicester will not be a promotion contender with this nob at the helm 

[fox_favourite]

Twit. Leave him in Dutchland with his clogs 

[BeaumontFox]

Very concerned that the clueless board will assume we will be fine with this squad and Ruud next season now we’ve done the double over Southampton.

 

Ugh…

[BeaumontFox]

Also… if you’re one of the Ruud selfie brigade, please sort your heads out!!

 

[RoboFox]

Are the Facebook divs doing mental gymnastics to convince each other he should be here next season because he won a single game against the league’s shittest ever team?

Made be the saints did the same today, they want us to keep RVN so they can get Danny Rohl in 🤔

Ruud boy OUT

[lcfc_forever]

Jordan Blackwell suggesting that RvN thinks he's on his way out based on his interview:

Wow - Nine consecutive home defeats without a goal, a dreadful record that will never be broken by any team, and then as soon as we score against the team bottom of the league the ‘he’s better than Cooper brigade’ are back out.

He needs to pick up 4 points to equal Coopers points record excluding teams Cooper didn't play.

I love this logic which I’ve seen a few times on here when fans try to argue that Ruud isn’t that much worse than Cooper.

 

It means Plymouth had a better season than Liverpool. You can’t compare their results throughout the season as they were against different teams, but when they played each other in the cup, Plymouth won.

[ronnup]

He isnt staying dont worry

[Aleksz]

He’d be doing so much more than he is in terms of decisions and body language if he was staying. I.E picking line ups for next season… or engaging with the fans more (disappeared off down the tunnel again today). Bloke knows he’s not going to be here, no idea what the club is playing at with him, 

[Claudio Fannieri]

Wouldn’t be shocked to see a story in tomorrows media saying he will be gone and more links to potential replacements especially now the EFL season is done. 
 

Rohl, Cifuentes, Muslic and even Carrick all very realistic targets.

I don't know what you're talking about.  I've literally stated a fact about their results against the same teams.

[Ric Flair]

He's a result against Ipswich and he's pretty much matched or bettered Cooper's against the same opposition 😂

Like I said, he needs 4 points to match Coopers record.

 

Cooper 10 points. Saints 3, Spurs 1, Everton 1, Palace 1, Ipswich 1,  B'Mouth 3, Forest 0.

Ruud currently 6 v Saints 3, Spurs 3, Everton 0, Palace 0, Ipswich, Bournemouth and Forest pending.

I don't think I'd live to read any more of the story if the headline read "ex - Plymouth boss to manage Leicester City" 🤣🤣

It will be 0,0,0 I'm afraid. Announce Rohl please to officially take over 1st July and Ruud to depart 1st July to meet PSR.

I hope your right ronnup - he has very little tactical knowledge and I would like someone with a bit of passion……Dyche for me but I would imagine not a Top type of choice in manager

[lgfualol]

Rudkin after yesterday’s game: “And that right there Top, is exactly why I brought Ruud in” 🤓

[Happy Fox]

If we beat Forest he matches the win percentage of Steve Cooper, that would be funny  but at least he's managed to win more games than Coopshite, but both of them have been absolutely dogshite.

[Skidmark]

I said a few weeks ago that there are reasons for keeping him. The big one for me is the fact he's evaluated the squad and will challenge the 'boys club' mentality.

 

It's been clear this season we've not had the quality to compete. I'd probably keep him, and let him build. He'll be able to attract a better calibre of player and working with the younger players who respect him would be good. 
 

I do think he'll walk though.
