They have done better in Europa League in recent years than we did in our stints. The fact that they probably have a similar or better level of squad to ours whilst spending at maximum £6-7mil pounds on players, majority under £1mil, shows the different classes in management.

As above our transfer strategies are night and day. They bring Denis Undav in on a free from the 3rd tier of the German League, we spend £7mil on Tom Cannon, they buy Victor Boniface for £6mil, we buy Jordan Ayew for £5mil.

 

Again look at their transfer fees and then internalise the fact that they likely beat us in a head to head game. Then seriously consider that idea before you say that we are run at an even vaguely similar level.

I'm not going to go through every transfer over the past few years but what you've said is blatantly wrong. We have gotten far more transfers wrong in recent years than we have gotten right. The only PL level players we've signed permanently since the Fofana signing being El Khannous, Hermansen and Fatawu is criminal (maybe Soumare but that's a push).

We signed Ryan Bennett on loan to complete our champions league push. We signed Soumare to cover both Ndidi and Tielemans despite being a completely different profile of player to either of them. We signed Wout Faes for £15mil. We signed Vestergaard for £15mil. We signed Souttar for £15mil and never played him. We signed Kristiansen for £15mil. We signed Praet for £20mil. We signed Ryan Bertrand. We renewed Danny Ward's contract and went into a PL season with him as a starter. We let Tielemans run down his contract. We had Soyuncu in the reserves running down his contract. It wasnt ambition, it was incompetence, pure pig headed incompetence that's going to be used as an example for years of how to not run a football club.

They are 3rd in the Belgian League despite being 5th from bottom in expenditure in that league. Yes they will drop off at some point (relative to the heights they have reached since their new owners took over) but because they have such a clear strategy to transfers and squad building they wont drop very far. Us on the other hand could genuinely be in league one in the next few seasons and I wouldn't be surprised.

All I'm asking for is to get an actual Sporting Director in place of John Rudkin. Someone who actually understands football, who knows what contracts players are worth, what transfer fees they are worth, what attributes we need in the players we are bring in etc.

Excellent post.
 

Top and Rudkin never seem to learn.They’ve never backed up successful appointments by bringing in a continuity candidate.

 

Maresca to Cooper is just such a wild lurch. I don’t buy the ‘He’s the only one that wanted it’ line given we turn spent £50m+ net before the verdict was in.

 

It’s more like the club thought he was the only one that would want it, which is just a complete dereliction of duty. Consistent with the Puel appointment too, we were aware of him and he was cheap. RVN the same.

Not really true is it.  A Cup win, Covid, And the Accident should not be dismissed. Supported Rogers with  200 million of spending, It's just a pity he wasted most of it.

Relegation was down to Rogers also not Top. Your're conveniently forgetting that.

 

He brought in Enzo who is a top Coach and got us promoted again.  That's Football.

 

He was never convinced about Cooper himself. 

 

Where I do agree he's made a mistake is in keeping Rudkin in the DOF role as he's simply not good enough. The consequence of that is the Poor signings which has us struggling now .

Although you haveto make allowance for unforseen long term injuries.

 

Nah, you're taking the piss here aren't you?

 

He's literally the owner of the club. It was his job to sack Rodgers when it was obvious his time was up. 

 

We were in a fantastic position to change the entire trajectory of the club just a couple of years ago. Look at us now. Downward spiral. 

 

Still waiting for the findings of the internal review after the debacle of 2022- 2023 by the way, wonder if any of the people in boardroom positions our owner employs are going to be held accountable?

Unlikely

Rudkin out according to BBC sport.

Is anyone making banners for the protest? 

Enough is certainly enough after today. Surely people can't defend this any longer?

If anyone knows the organizers of ‘Project Restart’ please let me know. Happy to see if we can get some of their messages on the van too. We need a collective effort to try and make a change.

Is it staying there or will it be driven about?

It will be hitting a variety of heavy footfall areas - key pubs and roads leading to the ground.

Well done for organising this.

 

No doubt there will be the typical KP fans moaning when they see it tomorrow but this, along with the protest, will hopefully kickstart something and start to make the club sit up and notice that we want change.

The actual figure is higher than that as well because it's missing the likes of Evans, Amartey etc.

 

Some of those are understandable that they went on a free and we probably got decent value for them but letting Tielemans/Soyuncu go on a free when we could have turned a huge profit on most is galling. Then you've got the likes of Perez, Silva, and Slimani where we absolutely should have got some money for them, and done so long before they left on a free

That's it mate.  
A lot of happy clappers moaning / saying 'this will achieve nothing'.  - We're not expecting Rudkin to get given the boot tomorrow (or for some form of restructure), but we're hoping to get the ball rolling.
That's all we can do - particularly as the club don't want to return any of our calls / emails / letters!
