I can’t see anyway back for RVN. It’s such a mess, and who would want to manage here now?

Some of his problem is he doesn't seem to have any new backroom staff ... with no new ideas or to lift the mood

But he’s supposedly happy with his current back room staff which I think is definitely not true.

Ipswich and Southampton games were going 1 way till both got a red card. Ipswich were completely in control until they missed a sitter and then  Phillips got sent off about 30 seconds later.

 

Spurs could have scored 3 goals in the 2nd half before we decided to take part in the game for 20 minutes.

Totally dominated Villa 2nd half Vardy missed a setter should have had a penalty  and had a goal disallowed  Palace game they got a dodgy VAR decision  then a moment of Madness by Coady with seconds remaining,  Its swings and roundabouts , Notice you ignore the fact we missed 2 good chances  against Ipswich in the first 15 minutes btw

I am not seeing the backroom staff complaint as valid by Ruud - he's now got two of his own staff in with him, only Dawson & Hughes remain. The latter is well thought of.

Aye this game 

 

You could bring up the Southampton stonewall penalty not given. Or the Ipswich one.

No assistant manager though which is crucial..

Usually around 1-1:30ish

[Les-TA-Jon]

So no one has a quote or source then? 
 

and some saying Buononotte and some saying Winks, as part of a bust up?

Brian Barry Murphy is assistant ?

I think they both might be

 

Ruud himself said Jelle ten Rouwelaar was assistant/goalkeeping coach

 

Although that might’ve just been until they got Brian Barry Murphy in

Daily Mail article said Ruud kicked off with the players, specifically Buonanotte.

After the Fulham defeat, Van Nistelrooy clashed with Buonanotte over his performance as a substitute but the most alarming row was with defender Caleb Okoli, who did not play at all.

 

It is understood that Van Nistelrooy turned on Okoli, a £13 million summer signing from Atalanta, over his choice of football boots and insisted they made him frequently slip over.

 

Okoli was so stunned by the confrontation that he demanded a meeting with Rudkin and now appears certain to leave before the window closes.

[Onions]

He can’t handle the pressure clearly, and he knows he can throw his toys around and get the fans to blame others. 
 

9 games, 1 win says it all.

My bad I thought Barry-Murphy had been enlisted as the assistant manager. 

 

EDIT: For anyone questioning this Jelle and BBM are now as 1st team coaches on LCFC website

Yep, there is other problems at work. But he’s also out of his depth so it seems.

[FrankieADZ]

the club is in a shambles,

think RVN will go soon too, really odd to have a go at Facundo, 

then Okoli over boots

 

the club is in a right mess

Or maybe he turned up for training late before Fulham game and was dropped from squad.

Absolutely love the image of Ruud shouting at everyone and then just turning to Okoli for a "and as for you, you just ****ing slip over"

 

[Claudio Fannieri]

It would appear Ruud is losing the plot or maybe trying to replicate Fergie’s hair dryer treatment, but what I would also say is it shows just how pampered these millionaire players have become. 
 

We are on a run of 7 straight league defeats and the players are running off crying and snivelling to any fecker that will listen at how they have been shouted at, poor little diddums. Get in the real fecking world, this is elite sport with high stakes, if you are well rewarded then expect to be called out when you aren’t performing. 
 

sums this shitshow of a club for what it really is. Rip it up and start again.
