a team / club with moral in the gutter

I presume you mean morale here?

 

Although what you say is correct as our club has no morals either.

Just seen Rob Dorsett’s tweets today. We are run like this? We were at negligence a long time ago, but at this point I’m starting to question whether they even care.

Sky Sports reporter Rob Dorsett has posted on X that van Nistelrooy is yet to sit down with club bosses to discuss his future, despite pleading for a quick decision to be made on the issue in the aftermath of City’s relegation being confirmed on April 20.

Dorsett expects the Manchester United legend to leave the club, but says he is now back in the Netherlands with his family still uncertain about whether he will be kept on in the role or not.

Furthermore, Dorsett claims the club have yet to begin “active talks” with possible managerial replacements, despite reports claiming Martin was about to be appointed.

 

He claims Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl and former Derby and Hull manager Liam Rosenior are also on the City shortlist, together with Martin, even though appointing either of the first two could present the club with even more problems.

Both Rohl and Rosenior would come with hefty compensation payments for their current clubs, something the Foxes could do without as they prepare to be hit with a points deduction for alleged past player spending infringements while also trying to ensure they are not in breach of financial fair play rules in the future.

All because they don't wanna get out their checkbook and pen to pay him compensation 

Probably can't find them left them behind when they paid out Levy for Skipp.

That is an interesting take.

 

First of Ranieri, Shakey and Puel were appointed by Vichai so they can be scrubbed, the issue is what has happened under Top.

 

Rodgers was a good appointment but it went stale after a couple of seasons and I think it's legitimate to say Top allowed a bad situation to fester to long. We then had Dean Smith who couldn't prevented us getting relegated.

 

Maresca, another good appointment but they pee'd him off and/or he knew too much of the financials and we couldn't keep him.

 

And then we had Cooper/RvM - which, whichever way you look at it has been a disaster.

 

It's not just about a good appointment it's about recognising when they have reached their limits and/or keeping them happy.

I would go further and say Rodgers was NOT a good appointment either. It was at that point that the club placed all of their faith and power in the manager who talked them into, or agreed to have a pop at breaking into the top 4. The sustainable recruitment model was abandoned and we began overpaying for average players and stopped moving players on for profit. The recruitment record under Rodgers is the reason we are in so much financial and footballing trouble at the moment in my opinion:

 

James Justin - 6.7M - 

Ayoze Perez - 33.4M

George Hirst 

Tielemans (already there on loan)

Callum Hulme - free

Dennis Praet - 19.2M

Ryan Bennett (loan)

Castagne - 20.9M

Under (loan)

Fofana - 35m - 80M

Daka - 30M

Soumare - 20M

Bertrand - free

Vestergaard - 17.6M

Lookman (loan) - 

Smithies - free

Wout Faes - 17M

Victor Kristianson - 14M

Tete (loan) - 

Harry Souttar - 17M

 

Spend €230m 

1 sold for a profit (Fofana)

 

Yes he won the FA Cup but that was with a team built by others and he used that talent already at the club to enhance his own reputation without strengthening or even maintaining the clubs standing in the game.

First ten on that list and you can argue 50/50 success rate. 

 

The ten after fofana are woeful, no impact whatsoever.  £115m spent for nothing. No wonder we're where we are, someone needs to be held accountable for that. They won't of course but they seriously should be.

I think the first half would have been passable if we had received fees for them. Spending £70 million on Perez & Tielemans and watching them both leave for free is awful contract management and has set us up to fail.

With each passing day it increasingly looks like KP are delaying the decision on RVN until the next financial year 1 July.

 

If that’s the case and we waste 4 more weeks then that will surely have a knock on impact on our transfer business (incomings) and early results if organisation and patterns of play haven’t had time to be embedded.

 

Even if RVN ends up staying he can only think the club couldn’t find a better option - hardly a ringing endorsement- and again doesn’t set us up well for the new season.
