If we get Dyche, the following players are out of contract in the summer:

 

Danny Ings

Michael Keane

Ben Mee

Josh Brownhill

 

Take Brownhill and Keane - both leaders - as long as can ship out vesty, Faes, coady plus soumare

Josh Brownhill would be mint

 

rest… urgh

I didn’t realise Ings was only 32. If Vardy does go it wouldn’t be a bad replacement on a free as long as we invested in a longer term option too

Brownhill is 4th highest goal scorer in the Championship from central midfield, 13 goals and 5 assists. To be fair, we should probably be all over that!

 

The others have all be good players but have had their time. To be fair they all have the ability still I think to be good players at that level but we need to get away from the wages they would command and bring in players on the up.

Starting to come round to the idea of Ruud in the championship. Have I lost the plot?

Yes. He needs sacking yesterday.

If this happens i reckon it means the clubs top number 1 priority is lowering the accounts losses to nothing or as low as possible. They didn't sign anyone I January as they thought it'd make no difference, if they think changing managers won't make any difference other than cost them money, I can see it happening

Why, because he drew one game?

Not even. Just a stupid feeling/hunch that he could work well with youth and get us playing decent football with a young side. (None of this is based on any evidence. I am well aware of the pitiful performances we’ve seen since he took over). Think I am di loo loo

Ruud’s inability to see the obvious and  

make a change when necessary, together with his inability to motivate or even get on with his players, alongside a reliance on nonsensical business speak when communicating with the press, fans (and presumably the players) would suggest that yes, you have indeed lost the plot.

Or never appointing

Bo Henriksen is a very interesting prospect at Mainz, they have fallen off recently but he took a relegation bound club in Feb last season to survival, then currently top 6 having lost key players in the summer. Squad depth looks to be catching up with them now, one to keep an eye on if form continues to struggle in the last few games. 
Can easily see him going to bigger and better in summer though.

Leipzig reportedly want him to replace Rose.

Interestingly enough I was going to post that there was a player called Bo Henriksen who once played for Kidderminster Harriers in their football league days and my goodness it is him!

Sorry my friend,  but it looks like the situation had finally broken you. 😀

 

 Ruud in the Championship is a bad idea.

 

He just not a good manager regardless of the division..

He's suffering the great player sh1t manager syndrome, the same one that, Brian Robson, Steve Bruce, Steven Gerrard and even Ruud Gullit all suffered or are still surfing from.  Yes, you will get a few exceptions, but RvD is most definitely not one of those exceptions, and the sooner he does us and the club a weapons grade favour and 'fooks the hell off' the better.

He was appointed on vibes/feelings/hunch/hope. And look where that got us

 

Next time you board a plane, see how you fancy it if the captain and first officer got their jobs - not on years of training a d pilot school - but on a hunch.

Yes. Why would he be any better there. The only player he signed doesn’t play.

Most of which are nearly over the hill and would demand a good contract 2-3 years and a good salary.... need to learn from past seasons and especially this one .... its not a great idea 

[Philkeavo]

With Nepo Boy’s seeming obsession with possession based football why aren’t the club looking at Spanish football coaches. Míchel has done some good things with Girona and José Alberto López at Racing Santander looks promising.

We'll probably end up with Bo Selecta!

 I want to see Leicester appoint a manager around 50 who has managed half a dozen teams, so has the experience and has learnt all aspects of management. 

Wolves seem to have done the right thing with their appointment
