Odds on RvN to go.

[Dan]

I genuinely don't want Pearson or King etc.. involved until the summer at the earliest. I don't want this relegation on their CV. Reminds me of when Newcastle appointed Shearer. Their greatest most iconic player (of my lifetime anyway) has taking Newcastle down on his record forever no matter if it's hit fault or not.

 

You can't fix this team this season. They've given up. Take the hit and rebuild it from the summer. But my worry is we were here two years ago and where did it get us? Nothing can really change until the board and.. well, lets be honest, ownership are changed. Because the ownership aren't won't change anything.

 

We are broken until King Power go.

Wouldn't take him on a 3 year deal - would only be a fire fight situation 

 

would prefer a young hungry manager

That’s my point.  It if you are Dyche, why would you bother doing that here?

It's an option and I would test him with 18 month rolling contract (as an example) if he doesn't bite then fair play but shouldn't stop us trying at least 

[HarryDee8]

His race is run, he neeeeeeeds to go!!

 

It didn't work out, good luck to him

[David Hankey]

Offload RVN now and allow the coaches to take on the role 'til the end of the season then reassess.

 

Let's be right we haven't had a manager for a while so things can't get any worse.

I've always been against Dyche ever coming here, but right now he's the best we could get and his turgid football would be an upgrade on the just give up football that we are witnessing right now. 

Our fans need to get over the style of football thing, it has absolutely no place right now.
Also the young European manager wish list as well.

The board/owners are the problem
The squad are the problem

Changing the manager can not and will not change the situation

That's the probleem. And why would any decent manager even consider it when the squad is clearly not good enough and RVN was obviously screwed over by the club in not bringing in any reinforcements in January?

[Sly]

I’m really surprised he’s still here.

 

If he walks, he controls the narrative, can say he was lied to, not supported etc.

 

If he’s sacked, that sits on his CV. 

[Claudio Fannieri]

Either way whether sacked or resigned he will no doubt be bound by a Non disclosure agreement, so highly likely however he leaves there will be little in regards to what has gone on behind the scenes certainly from his side. 
 

think about it when was the last time a manager gave a warts and all inside story of what it’s like working for Leicester City, King Power and some of the challenges of player power etc. 

 

We will never know the truth about what RVN was promised, however the longer this goes on and he isn’t sacked suggests that perhaps Top recognises that they didn’t make good on certain promises and commitments made at the time.

That's a very good point. Unfortunately not many managers do this, purely because of their potential pay-off. Cash is king.

What difference would this make? It’s not like an ordinary job where being sacked might lead to an awkward conversation in a future job interview when you have to explain what happened. Any future club Ruud wants to work for will know exactly what happened at Leicester - every single result during his time here is available at the click of a button. Quitting won’t enable him to control that narrative any better than being sacked. That’s why managers rarely resign unless it’s because they’ve had a better offer.

Most managers end up sacked. It’s part of the whole football circus. 

[fox_favourite]

He's not going anywhere. He's waiting to be sacked and I doubt we want 2 sackings on our books. It's a terrible situation that the club has only got itself to blame. Doesn't matter who comes in now, we're relegated it's an almost certainty now. 

 

In the summer get rid of Ruud, Rudkin and his pathetic team. Bring in a man that knows what's he's doing as DoF first give him a brief of what top wants from the club and start again. The first relegation put us back 11 years, and has failed the business. It's time they were called out by the business owner. 

 

Whether he likes it or not he'll be manager against Chelsea. Unless he walks, or accepts a pathetic pay off 

 

Be prepared for more unprofessional, spineless performances as everyone is turning up just Io get paid now.

I agree but Dyche ball is a different level of turgid that doesn't produce many goals. But if he would come here and stop us conceding goals all the time and get us solid then that's a step forward

You can’t make a team solid that doesn’t have the basic attributes to want to defend the goal and keep the ball out of the net.

Not when they don't have a proper manager you can't. The players aren't great and we need to get rid of most, but we'd certainly see an upturn in performances and possibly results if we actually hired a manager

Lets be clear, NP will not be returning ever. He is still seriously ill. Sadly his time like Vardy is over.

[cruzFOX]

I was one of those that didn’t like cooper but willing to let him try but he lost his way and nothing was improving. So I became a supporter of Ruud hoping he will inject some fresh energy into this lot who appeared to be protesting for exactly that a change. Now here we are again looking for another change. Is it the players is it the manager is it both? We all know behind the scenes it’s a mess and they seem untouchable. With Ruud it’s not just the fact we are losing but how we are losing. We might as well not have a manager in charge. As for when he will get the chop - I think he has to make his position absolutely untenable ie, we lose a game 9-0 and set a new disastrous record. Then it will happen.

do we have a plan in place for that outcome probably not. It will get handed to the assistant coach as usual till the end of the season.

[Gazza M]

Going to wait aren't they until we need 17 points from 7 games to have a fighting chance rather than doing it now when we need 17 points from 11 games. Pathetic board. 

[Lambert09]

If it makes anyone feel slightly better, it looks like corberan is getting valencia relegated as well and theyve got a better squad than us. 

 

Essentially, none of the realistic options we had would have saved us with this level of support from our board. 

 

Its widely acknowledged that McKenna is a good manager, yet even with financial backing they dont look any better off for survival than us.  Its not an excuse for us but more just a fact that we were likely doomed whatever direction we went in.  The only real question mark would be whether Moyes was ever realistic. If he was available to us in the summer and we went with cooper.... deary me 

[Leicesterpool]

Martin O'Neill till the summer, just something to excite the fans again. I know Forest didn't work out, however bringing back a club legend like a MON or Pearson would get the KP alive again.

As someone above said, lets not tarnish our legends with having this crap on their hands. This relegation is down to the owners, the board, the players and the two managers we've had, let them have it forever on their record.
