If this is a thread on gameshows related to RVN, then I'm adding Pointless

Definitely the Weakest Link from back in the day seems fitting as well!

 

Limitless Win you’d have to change the name to limited wins.

 

Oh, 1% club in honour of his win percentage?

Since February 1st:

 

Played 7

Won 0

Drawn 0

Lost 7

 

Goals for: 0

Goals against: 17 (and counting)

 

We've set the record for consecutive home losses without scoring 

 

We've beaten Ipswich's record (from 1994) for conceding the first goal more times than anyone else

 

Our XG is less than 0.83 since December 

 

Our XGA is 2.34 since January 

 

Since Ruud was appointed, we're 20th in the league for XG, XGA, goals scored, shots faced, and chances created. We're also 19th for possession.

 

How the **** is this guy holding on to his job? He is so clearly absolutely miles out of his depth. I genuinely believe he could be the worst Premier League manager in history.

 

This is a new low, even for Top and Teflon John.

 

Sorry for another new thread. I just ****ing hate all 3 of them for this absolute farce.

 

 

 

Can anyone here ever remember a worst run for us in their life time, I dont think there is one since I started supporting the club in "any" division.

 

Am I wrong?

It is really strange, Burnley last season is the only similar parallel?

 

but they at least scored the odd goal and also the manager got them promoted so I guess he had that in the bank.

Yeah I am factoring in goals scored as well, I cannot remember such a bad league run ever combined losses and no goals scored.

 

Last 7 no goals scored.

Last 10 2 goals scored.

Last 15 4 goals scored.

Hideous.  I think the 4 goals were in three games so 12 out of 15 games no goals.

If I can be bothered I will check other relegation seasons but I be surprised if I find any no goals for 7 games in a row.

It’s over 60 years since I went to my first game, and this is definitely the worst.

Yep it’s bleak very bleak.

It has to be purely financial why he’s still here.

[Claudio Fannieri]

It’s been shit from start to finish, pre season was a joke and it’s just spiralled from there, worst season I can ever remember and I have supported the club since 1979/80 and I include relegation to league one, this has just been a disaster with zero redeeming qualities. And we managed to spunk another £80m on players to top it off with only one having any potential resale value, dreadful in every single aspect. 

[FrankieADZ]

and theres no sign of rvn even going yet

 

what a complete farce

I never thought I'd prefer that tw*t but he knocks spots off of RVFN - as a manager is literally has absolutely nothing about him 

[Vlad the Fox]

What’s the point of the game if you’re not even going to try and score. Needs to go now, even if it’s cheaper at the end of the season, they shouldn’t expect us to have to put up with this shit any longer.

You must be of a similar vintage to me. 

 

That 79/80 season's still one of my top 6 seasons in the last 50. 

 

Jock totally on the opposite scale to RVFN - charisma personified

1-0 Bobby Smith penalty 

 

A very raucous game is what I remember - I think they'd be sending off and penalties in the game at St James earlier in the season 

 

I was only 8 and totally mesmerised back then and I thought Jock was god. 

 

P.S Great photo of Youngy

Youngy was my first Leicester hero after that game....

Could do with a bit of his passion now....

My point is less tangible, but I think we are worse than the stats suggest..

 

We don't attack, at all..the opponent doesn't have to try, at all. Without exaggeration, the opponent only need turn up. 

 

We go into every game knowing we will lose. I've never had that. Sports fans are by nature optimistic. That today will be the day, the fluke, the one-in-a-hundred. But not with the Dutchman. It is certain defeat..

 

And to rub salt in the wounds, we are nowhere near as bad as the results suggest. The Dutchman appears, and I hesitate and check myself, to be deliberately setting us up for defeat. 

 

Coady and Thomas and Ward weren't good enough for the Championship. In fact Thomas and Ward unable to make the 25 man squad..Vardy wasn't good enough to be a regular championship starter and prior to that, wasn't good enough to start for a relegated PL team..

 

We have competent pros sat sidelined, unused. Okoli has shown enough promise that Italy - renowned defensive beasts - selected him for an international call up. Buonanotte was undoubtedly our best player prior to the Dutchman's arrival. Mavididi and Winks and now Ricardo were our trusted players for a successful promotion. Skipp, for all the unwarranted stick he gets over his fee, knows the PL. Fit decent if unspectacular lad. He doesn't deserve to be permanently sidelined by an,, at best, woefully inconsistent Soumare..

 

Since day 1, the Dutchman has set up very basic rudimentary systems, both of which leave the midfield (whoever occupies the two available positions) open to slaughter. But he won't even attempt to address it. 

 

Some answers are there. Pack midfield, narrow down the back four. Put pace up top. Play our two most creative players together. All of which probably lead to relegation. But not necessarily humiliation, as we have to suffer under this quite dreadful man. 

 

There's worse to come. The players confidence has been shredded beyond normal parameters. We will continue to lose every game, continue to be unable to attack (let alone score) and,.I think, the ingredients are there for a couple of real hidings ... seriously we might well be looking at a defeat of 10,11,12 or more. A team only need put in more than the 50% most opponents are currently giving and we'll be bummed alive

Vardy I know you are the GOAT but paying him 140k per week is absolutely criminal.

We won’t even be in the league so I don’t know we are bothered about PSR, need to make the change asap

[funkyrobot]

Bomb squaded Winksy last night. I get that like the rest of the midfield he has had a poor season but Ruud’s incapability to get him to play after Soumare and Ndidi continue to fail is another reason why his position is untenable. Say what you like about Winks but he has more quality than Skipp, more application than Soumare.

Lets hope he comes good in the championship again which is clearly closer to his level

People need to wake up and realise this. We're not getting proven good managers, no-one wants to come here and work under this.

 

If anyone unproven comes and does well, they'll leave us at one of their first chances, because we're a basket case.

[LcFc_Smiv]

Fair play to him and those at the top of the club, I never thought I'd lose interest but I'm there. It's not even that we're horrendous, being bad I can live with, we've been through it. Its that no-one seems to give a sh*t or acknowledge that anything is even wrong. 

 

The unchanged teams, the lack of intent to do anything positive on the ball, the refusal to acknowledge we have talented youth players who are well beyond deserving of a chance, the constant tone deaf posts from a social media team, the appeared content to partner with questionable online gambling and gaming companies that scam people out of their hard earned cash, all while a bunch of clowns at our club do the same to the fan base and everyone is fine with it.

 

For years me and my Mrs have argued on whether the kids will go to Leicester with me or Sheffield United with her on Saturdays, this club can sadly f**k off.
