Next Manager

More likely the club doesn't have any money to spend which is why we can not make a move on the manger right now and have failed PSR ? it has absolutely nothing to do with the results after only being in the job for a few weeks.

Throughout the year, the club would have been running PSR based financial projections on various scenarios of club performance.

 

If retaining Premier League status looked a more realistic possibility on January 1st 2025 - that would have allowed the club to operate on a far more positive financial projection.

 

It didn’t however; therefore a much more conservative approach was required.

I believe that to be something the club would like roll out but is absolute horse shit.

They had the 5th highest payroll in the league and had nacho on loan, if the squad was pony some of that has to be down to the manager 

I’d suggest given where it is and it’s relative stature, Boro have often had to overpay players to convince them to sign; or take on players with little other options.

Carrick has to get the job for me we cannot afford to go with Brian Barry-Murphy it would be catastrophic we wouldn’t be anywhere near the playoffs or higher.

tbf might not get that anyway if we get a points deduction and wouldnt be a bad thing, as frankly the club needs to rebuild again after 4/5 years of complete and utter crap

In fairness to Carrick he didn’t get huge investment, and lost a few key players. The season they finished in the playoffs their team was supplemented with some key loan signings that they ultimately couldn’t hang on to - Giles, Archer and Ramsey. 

well he has had investment and he has lost key players too, but frankly he go backwards in his time at boro

 

id rather Brian Barry-Murphy, but top choice is still Rohl for me, but suspect it will be BBM

It is in line with what I heard, that essentially the talks took place a few weeks before the end of the season. News broke around points deduction, just after journalists start saying it's Martin. We go very quiet, in the end Martin gets fed up of waiting and progresses with Rangers. This supposedly being the second time we have held talks then delayed, the first being pre Enzo, where Martin took the Southampton job because they came in and offered him guarantees while we were stalling.

 

The individual who told me this I know has some insight into Martins side, although up until a week before he went Rangers he said he was pretty much done here and a new DoF was part of the agreement. Whatever the case everything points to us being a mess which we all largely knew.

Haha rudkin negotiating a deal that gets him the sack. Doesnt really plausible as while he’s still here he’d be the one having these talks. 

“thanks for the interest Jon, I’ll take the job if you feck off”

Ruud had 6 games before the start of Jan - he picked up 4 points from a possible 18.

 

That crucially included a damaging home defeat to Wolves - that left us 19th and on 14 points.

 

The next 3 games were also defeats - including reverses at home against Palace & Fulham.

 

That run made it 7 league defeats in a row.

 

If you’re on the board and it’s already clear the PSR projections are tight - are you seriously sanctioning a significant January spend following a return of 4 points out of 27?

We would never have spent even if we got 27 points out of 27, because the club has failed PSR and they knew that's why they didn't spend anything.

Didn’t appear to be such a hard sell to convince good young players like Doak, Archer, and Ramsey to go on loan and pretty sure that wasn’t their only options

The fact that there was seemingly no relegation termination clause in Ruuds contract just adds to the shambles that is LCFC. 

 

[Happy Fox]

It would be a huge gamble to give Brian Barry-Murphy the manager role, his only previous management experience was managing Rochdale! At least with Enzo before he joined us he managed Manchester City Under 21s..

According to Boro fans, Carrick was the one who pushed for Iheanacho to replace Latte Lath.

I've said in other posts previously that I was led to believe the conversations weren't with Rudkin, the first talks 2 years ago were with Top himself at his UK property. 

 

Im not saying I totally believe what I was told but the individual is someone I trust in a professional capacity and has been on RMs coaching staff at other clubs and I can't see what they would gain from making stuff up, other than knowing I'm a Leicester fan.

Either that or we are speaking to the same person
