Ruud van Nistelrooy - New Manager - Official

[luthersfarm]

Hopefully they're just spellchecking the statement.

Probably end of season BBQ day... get another picture of Rudkin in full tracksuit looking like a PE teacher that you wouldn't leave your children with unattended.

You’d imagine our Comms Team have been kept in the dark and fed shit like the rest of us. Actually communicating with the Comms Team seems like a stretch for our club.

If he isn’t gone in the next 48hours then it’s clear something really weird is happening…possibly waiting for July

You know what, that will be it. Waiting for June 30th.

Can't he find the balls to knock on Tops door and demand a discussion.

Why do that when he can knock on Rudkin's and come away with a two year extension and 40% pay rise...?!

It's King Power raceday today!

[Noahfence]

I don’t even feel bad that he’s had no communication with the club. 
 

“Planning for the future” proceeds to play Soumare, Daka, Faes. Genuinely hope he never works in football again.

So if they back a winner we may be able to pay RVN off(and announce), but if Rudders placed the bet maybe not ;D

Completely never got us from the moment he walked through the door and he has no chuffing idea - still doesn’t recognise our better players and picks the team playing bingo - arrogant bloke can do one and take at least half the team with him - hopefully he gets a job in Europe and comes back for half of them !

If they do that then it’s officially the most stupid thing they have done in a long list of King Power **** ups. If you behave like a 2 bit organisation you become one from the top down. Waiting till June 30th already massively disadvantages the new manager team assessment, build etc. I expect Rudkin doesn’t care as he’s off on his Jollies after another first rate job in his eyes bringing in quality like Eduoard and Skipp.

[john ridley]

Do we really  think a couple of million of quid is going to make a difference  to our PSR,we're ****ed  already ,just make a change and get on with it ,good  or bad. 

[Mickyblueeyes]

Couldn’t care less if they’ve spoken to him or not. I mean I love criticising the current numptys on our board but if they haven’t spoken to this fella, who gives a shit ?

 

He has overseen the worst run any of us could remember, if he had any self respect, he would’ve walked himself (remember when managers would do that for the good of the club). 

 

But he wants a pay out - fine, he’s entitled to it because of the dumbasses in charge. However, why respect him ?

 

Cut throat world and all that. 
 

Also, how is he STILL here.

lmao. Is that the face he was pulling when he said that ridiculous line? How was anything we did yesterday ‘important’ when we lost 2-0 and were relegated anyway.

 

It’s stuff like this that make people think he’s taking the mick.

What worries most about them

not having a conversation with him

by this stage is they don’t have any plan at all. 
 

Most likely Rudkin doing everything to save his own are but not having the authority any longer to let Ruud go.

[nnfox]

RvN absolutely knows what's going on.  The board will have communicated with him.  Not every significant conversation needs to be public knowledge.  I'm sure that the hunt is on for the next manager.  It looks like that will be Russell Martin.

 

RM will now be (should be) looking at all our games from the last couple of seasons, doing his research on the squad and putting a plan A, B and C together to get us up next year depending on transfers, points deductions and so on.

 

I fully expect we will have a situation where it will be announced that RvN is leaving and within 24 hours RM will be announced,  possibly at the same time (personally hope it's someone else).  That announcement was unlikely today as it is a bank holiday, more likely tomorrow.  Possibly waiting for 30th June.

 

Last time we were relegated we brought in Dean Smith which was a waste of time.  I suspect the board have considered it would also have been a waste of time getting rid of RvN once relegation was nailed on and they've (please let this be true) been spending the last 10 weeks sorting out a seamless replacement instead of the usual sacking of a manager and subsequent 3 week wait before anything can begin to be sorted while they search for a new manager.

Nope.  He just has Plan A...   

 

That's it, and that's why his managerial statistics and history overall are just as cr@p as RvN.

Yeah!  On the pitch he does.  It was more about shaping the squad depending on funds, embargos, points deductions etc.  But yeah, on the pitch Plan A all the way.  If that doesn't work then do Plan A harder.  Clown.

Bye Ruud. You were shit, but the rot had already set in a few years ago. Ultimately you weren't the problem

I found his statements about planning for the future really werid,let's plan for the future,after every game we got relegated it was the, exact same line-up,with hardly any minutes given off the bench to the youngsters,plan for the future blah blah,shut up ruud ya weirdo!!!

You give this shitshow far too much credit, they haven’t got a ****ing clue what’s going on. Seamless my arse! 
 

They will **** around till June 30th panick buy some shit, and Rudkin will lose sales on useless twats haggling over a few 100k extra only for them to go for free later. It’s so predictable!
