Who would you pick that’s not foreign ? Because let’s be honest they won’t go down that route. 

I take it you mean who hasn’t managed in this country before. 
If that’s the case I’d go with Hassenhutl. 
I also like Cleverley and Selles who both did well in difficult circumstances. 
Watford only finished 1 point behind Rohls Sheffield Wednesday. 
Obviously I’d prefer us to go the foreign route with someone like Ole Werner, Jesse Thorup or Brian Priske. 
But as you say we won’t do that even though we should.

Don’t disagree with a lot of that but it’s just sad reading those names and realising this is the pond we are fishing in now.

We missed out on some decent readily available experienced foreign managers when Cooper went. 
Schmidt, Rudi Garcia, Conceicao, Kovac and Terzic were all available at the time. 
You only have to look at Wolves and what they did by getting someone experienced in.

Genuinely surprised that anyone thinks waiting till a few weeks before preseason, giving a guy a few weeks to learn about a squad, bring in new players and build a team that is remotely competitive is a good plan. Really if we can’t afford a new manager we are best setting the current guy on to tasks. Instead of fanning around in July. There is absolutely no evidence the club will make any better choices by waiting or taking longer, they are grossly incompetent and inept. 

Nobody is saying it's ideal. In an ideal world we'd have had the finances to sack RVN and recruit our new manager weeks ago. But that is not our situation. The fact is, we're probably sailing close to the wind re: PSR again. The EFL and PL already breathing down our neck about past breaches and would love to get their claws into us if we breach again. So if we can avoid breaching PSR for 2024/25 by avoiding spending any money for the next three weeks, then obviously that's what we should do. 

 

If the club's number one target for the job is currently in work (meaning it will require compensation to obtain him), there are basically two choices, neither of which are ideal: first, prioritize getting somebody in early even if they're not the strongest candidate (as we did with Steve Cooper last summer); or second, prioritize getting the number one target and accept that he won't be joining until early July, around the time the players report for preseason training.

 

All I'm saying I regard the latter as the lesser of two evils. The prospect of rushing to make another poor managerial appointment isn't worth contemplating.

I reckon Ruud to be announced as staying this week 

Do they need to announce anything though really? We all want comms but unless its a vote of confidence I'm not sure why they'd bother. That historically is a death sentence.

Personally, I think were waiting for the punishment from the EFL before making the decision.

 

If its -12 points, realistically promotion is a tough task, they'll leave Ruud in charge, stay up and rebuild.

Does seem like they have woken up at the club with actual news today. So hopefully we'll hear something this week. Or not.

Sure I read it might be November before we know that, so don't think we will wait that long.

Not really practical to do that - could easily be Sept / Oct before the EFL reach a decision which would, itself, then be open to an appeal

If this is the case, it's a sensible move. It's a bit of a free pass for the disgraceful lack of communications since relegation, but there's no need to rush into the wrong appointment or decision.

Anybody see the comment from Martin Samuel in the Sunday Times yesterday.

We would like to get rid of RVN but cannot coz of PSR, with a possible 12 pointer AND having to pay him off.

Assets will need to be sold, making them weaker.

Leicester erred with RVN and thats what PSR does - it cements mistakes in place, no second chances. 

So Leicester will be relegated, suffer a points deduction in the league below, conduct a fire sale of what little talent the club does possess, while being stuck with the manager who has shown little aptitude for the job.

No one is arguing the club has been run poorly, but PSR ensures they get no opportunity to change course.

This isn't double jeopardy its quadruple jeopardy.

Could be anywhere from Oct to Apr that we actually get a punishment...

If we get -12 and keep Ruud we will be going to League One.

Tenuous at best 

Wymsey said on 1 June that he thought Dyche would be our man - he went on to tease us with eyes a couple of days later.  Whoareyaaa, added that the eyes were below a Dyche post.  So, I don't think  jv1's comment that it's "tenuous at best', holds up.  I think there's mileage in what Wymsey says (he has a bit of a track record for good info) and if I was a betting man, I'd put money on Dyche at 6/4 (currently).

Apologies, I didn't realise it would take so long! I thought we was holding our hands up and cooperating, meaning a quicker and simple process.

God forbid it’s Dyche, I respect his CV but the games moved on and he refuses to adapt with it.
