Rudkin who can replace him?

[lcfcbluearmy]

Surely the answer is dan ashworth no?

[Ashley]

Go and get Dan Ashworth as DoF. 

 

Paul Barber(Brighton CEO)

 

Might take a few seasons but put the plans in place to get us competitive again. 

 

Do the extension, think of the bigger picture. 

 

We pay below average and bang average stupid money so go out and get the two above. Let them bring in the right people we need to go at it again.

I just don't believe either would want to come here. We're an absolute shambles.

We had the chance to bring on people of that calibre a few years ago and we missed it. Now we're shopping in the bargain bin with all the other also rans.

 

Thank you King Power!

We aren't going to be in the position of bringing in an elite DOF or CEO. 

 

But what we can do is look for talented individuals and provide an opportunity for them to grow and become those! 

 

But before you do that, you have to have a vision, mission and strategy!

 

Vision = what you want to accomplish

Mission = how you will achieve your vision

 

And be brave enough to open and share it people can hold you to account! 

[Raj]

We cant even get a crap Craig Dawson to sign for us who in their right mind with a decent reputation would want to come here??

 

Thats why we ended up with Ruud.

We could - it's just Top won't do it.

 

We could afford to double Barber's salary. Marinakis managed to land Edu. If we allocated just 10% of next season's player wage budget to staff we could have top 10/5/1% backroom staff.

 

It's telling everybody good we've appointed has left quite quickly. Macia, McGuinness, Halajko, Sormaz etc. Even Congerton ffs has done well at Atalanta. The common denominator in failure is Rudkin.

Money talks. 

 

We spend it on shit. Go and give them what they want. Potential is there for us. It'll take a few seasons but they could do it.

It would also require Rudkin and Whelan to lose control and power. And I just don't see that happening

I find good people generally don't just come just for money, we would have to have a strong leadership vision from the top, no pun intended!

 

We need some serious surgery which would need Top to be brave enough to move Rudkin on.

In the Edu example, it's not as if Marinakis is a visionary - he just made an attractive offer with the right autonomy.

 

The autonomy aspect is what should make the DoF role a good opportunity here but Top evidently likes his 5'9 buttplug

[Foxin_Mad]

Ashworth has been shafted by United and the ***** Radcliffe.

 

Give him some wages (still miles less tgan any player), free reign to set up a elite team and smash United I bet he would.

 

For the right person it's a good project, go through cut the dead wood, bring in elites change up the culture.

Angela Rayner or Rachel Reeves would do a fine job.

Whelan and Rudkin out.

 

Truss and Khazi in.

 

Time to turbo charge our clubs finances 

[iancognito]

 Ashworth is out of work but you've got to go look for upcoming candidates too. The next Paul Barber or Jason Wilcox because we aren't getting the current ones.

1) Step down in terms of his own career

2) Dealing with an owner who doesn't have a tangible vision for the club

3) The club are hamstrung by PSR and large legacy contracts AND even if he was appointed it would take a number of years to make an influence

4) His track record of taking clubs and improving them (bar Man Utd) what levers can he pull here?

5) He's way out our budget

 

So, you're saying there's a chance?!

I thought he’d gone when I saw this thread.

 

Thanks for ruining my day!

Better still offer the job to Starmlin and introduce transparancy and honesty into Club affairs.  At least the GTrust will be happy.

Get Steve Walsh as scout in and get him to choose the manager.

Personally I'd put Rudkin and Whelan in the KHAZI and flush it.

My bath sponge is a worthy replacement.
