Ruud out - has to go

[Tielemans63]

I think they'll sack him, because that's what they do when the heat is on them. Ruud will almost inevitably be made a scapegoat for the board's utter ineptitude. Heaven forbid we deal with the actual problem.

 

The same fate will befall the next manager too. Until the day Top either removes his head from his own arse, or sells up....it's not going to change.

Thought it was an odd appointment in the first place. I'm not sure it makes a difference who the manager is, if I'm honest. The club is run like a Vanarama conference outfit.

I thought it was going to be an improvement on Cooper but sadly this is not the case.

[Jattdogg]

I reckon Dean Smith and John Terry would do better

under Ruud Van Nisterlrooy

 

Played 9

Won 1

Drew 1

Lost 7

Scored 7

Conceded 23

 

Not scored in 5 of the 9 games. 

Conceded 2 or more in the last 8 games. 

 

Get him gone.

Bang on - saying we have improved under him is complete total and utter nonsense - we are a lot easier to beat than under cooper and he was utter garbage 

[leicesterlad1989]

I wanted Cooper gone. In hindsight it's clear that these players are shite. But why have we got a manager in who literally plays the same system as the previous?

This inverted winger hasn't work all season. 

 

Wheres Ruuds mark on this team? Nothings changed.

They wouldnt even bat an eyelid now.
We do need that type of manager given the current regime and squad, results means more than performances, but fans wont accept that type of manager.

It might if they pick the right players

Can’t get any worse than losing 7 on the bounce can it really 

[whoareyaaa]

No manager will get anything out of this lot.

 

It's over.

 

Rebuild needed from the board down to the coaching staff and players.

My feeling was that appointing a guy with one season as a manager on his CV, and even then as coach of a top Dutch club that is used to winning - that's a strange choice for a struggling Premier League club.

We were miles better under Cooper, that's how bad Ruud is.

A Manager so bad he makes cooper seem like a good appointment 

Nothing makes Cooper look like a good appointment - that was always an awful appointment and you just know he had no idea at all when he started signing has beens like BDCR and Ayew 

[Pliskin]

I’d be stunned if he is still here tomorrow.

Lmfao right, after he got handed a squad with no depth and the best players out injured he won't even be allowed to get any signings in?

What an advertisement that would be for the job.

[Bluefoxsam]

Did anyone watch his masterclass video? I had a bad feeling soon as I seen that.  He was describing the exact same tactics that cooper was using! One attacking fullback and the same isolated 4231 formation!

He’s had a stinker recently but he’s effectively being asked to compete in F1 with a Mini Metro.

 

Sacking him will cost more money and the next manager will have exactly the same problem.

 

Don’t even get me started on Dyche, he’d hate this squad and we’d hate his style of play.

Bout time we had a manager that the fans could relate to 😂

7 loses in a row, is the boards fault. 
 

😂

[RYM]

I think after that copy and paste performance the cost of not sacking him is greater than the cost of sacking him. It's a shame but he is so out of his depth. I don't think they will though. The press will back all he does as part of The Gilet Boys contingent and the Thais won't want bad mouthing in the press. It's a mess.

 

I can't think of one manager that could save us though as the players are tossing it off. 

 

The club needs a restructure it's outgrown so many within it also.

Come on man… Pep could leave man city for us tomorrow and hed still be left with a squad that are not capable of scoring or creating goals. There is no individual or collective quality. What can a manager do with this team. The issue is with top, rudkin and the board. If we signed 2 wingers and a striker tomorrow things could drastically change, but we wont.

Completely agreed - don’t care if anyone thinks he has been a good edition and it’s the players faults - 7 on the bounce is absolutely hideous and he cannot survive that 

[shilton_fox]

He’s a scapegoat. No one will get a tune out of this crap squad. Pretty much same back 4 that got us relegated 2 years ago. Still relying on a player close to 40 to score goals to make up for our lack of creativity. Insanity - doing the same thing again and expecting different results. Until things change at board level nothing changes.

I don't know that I'm "Ruud Out", but I'm certainly not "Ruud In". Completely lost faith in his ability to get anything out of us. It feels ridiculous saying it, but I can't see us getting another point this season.

Nonsense on the pep piece -

cooper for 10 Points out of this lot - plenty would do miles better than ruud van fraud

I was so impressed in his initial interview with the lovely crew neck jumper but he’s been nothing but a disappointment tbqh
