Rudkin won’t spend any money so no one

[StonyFox]

Incomings feel very much like 22/23, absolutely nothing all summer, then a panic buy, which was Wout Faes! Followed by 3 more panic buys in January, resulting in relegation. 

 

If you stand still in football, other teams go past you. We're actively moving backwards! There are 12 days left in the transfer window, and if we do decide to bring anyone in, it's going to be rushed, with no planning.

 

Watching those clueless morons oversee the demise of our club, putting us back years, is just so frustrating and depressing!

What is the total waste on bdcr, edouard and skipp, cooper and RVN? Who is responsible for that shower?

All signed by cooper, not on Ruud for signing them.

He will get someone shit, who's wages we pay but who the manager doesn't actually want to use because he doesn't fit the system/and/or is shit, Standard KPFC/Rudkin operations.

Striker in on loan and then Ayew to be used as our number 10 this season.. thats my honest prediction

[Taz_The_Fox]

No one coming in. Either the well has run dry or the tap has been turned off. Either way we are in dire straits. 

[Mickyblueeyes]

If you’re a player at this club and have seen the sales, including Hermansen and Bilal, with the lack of activity in Jan, you’ve got to be asking the club who is coming in. 
 

To be quite honest, for most of them, I hope it scares the shit out of them and they jump at the first move but for the little talent we have left, they’ll want to see incomings. And quality ones. Not Glovers brain fart windows.

I can see it being this as well

 

That striker will be our only outfield signing as well

[Grebfromgrebland]

We've got daka. No need for a striker.

[Gav_LCFC14]

Lets not forget that in recent windows we've seen Rudkin is only capable of working one deal at a time. With the amount we need to replace and strengthen this is going to be a disaster

There is no intention of attempting a return to PL. Club is being asset stripped to make the balance sheet look good and repay Top as much as possible before 'Brand LCFC' is put on the market to save King Power. Hence the silence from the club. Players know it hence want away.

Do you know this for sure from inside sources, or is it your assumption?

[Hales]

This is dreadful.....Mads gone now BEK and potentially Abdul.......

This club has no intention of trying to get back to the Premier league.....

We won't sign anyone either....its the same old same old......honestly fed up with it and the lack of any communication from this club

[Nickaj]

What do you think are the chances of Top being at the next home match?

Was he at the Sheffield Wednesday game?

[Lambert09]

I’m going to stay as optimistic as I can. 
 

if bilal goes for 30m

justin for 5

kristansen loan 

soumare loan

(plus any of the other duds)

 

And we can bring in  a striker , a cam, and a cm. (All 3 are currently a necessity) 
 

I think I’d consider it a good window. Trimmed wages, good for psr and a few of the dead donkeys out the club. All too late for any real praise but it would at least be good steps towards damage control.

The chance to potentially meet Tom Brady and a host of other celebs? He'll be rubbing one off as we speak at the prospect!

Good time for a protest then

[Jattdogg]

I have 0 faith we will bring in anyone that will actually contribute to success.

 

[Tommy G]

Our transfer windows are very similar to a middle aged mans sex life, lots of promise but very little action - a very slow build up with a flurry of action at the end but ultimately you end up frustrated and disappointed - and you've got to wait another 6 months for the next opportunity (opening).  

[coolhandfox]

It think we bring in a AMC, DM, CF and maybe a defender.

 

2 on loan and a couple of perms.

 

 

[Simonb]

We have to replace Bilal and still need an 8. If Abdul goes he needs replacing as Kacey isn't going to run at a defender.  That being said, I cannot see any purchases. 2 or 3 loans from the big 6 academies is about it. 

 

I dont foresee us bringing in a forward. 

 

If we bring in 60m for bilal and Abdul, id like to think we'd have at least 20m at our disposal (on 4 year contracts that's only 5m in this year) but I dont know what state the accounts are in. 

 

PSR is crippling football, but we are particularly bad.

This is exactly what I would be advising the Owner, who is trying to save his parent company, to do. Recoup as much as you can and then divest yourself of loss making non-core businesses. Implement a 'news black out' on communications. Rudkin and CEO are just following the owners instructions, so although Rudkin is out of his depth, he  is the wrong target imo.

So no inside sources, nor would I expect any leaks. I expect Cooper and RVN have signed a Non disclosure agreement as part of their pay off, which again is normal. Other staff worried about their positions. Hence silence.

Delighted to be wrong, just trying to fathom out what appears to be be bizarre behaviour from a  fan football perspective, but makes some sort of sense from a Business perspective.

I've been wracking my brains for an explanation too, for our desire to seemingly sell players but not buy more.  We can't reverse the PSR breach because it relates to the last 3 years, so what's the point in balancing the books now?  The only benefit I can see is that if we were to appeal against a points deduction, it would demonstrate a commitment to sorting out our finances, which might make an appeal look more kindly on us.  

 

The aspect of your theory that doesn't make sense though, is that by selling players we make ourselves more vulnerable to relegation, which in turns makes us far less valuable.  If Top was planning to sell LCFC, it would be far better to keep us in the Championship than let us get relegated to league 1.  From a purely business perspective, the advice would surely be to recoup as much as you can without risking massively slashing the value of the club ie sell a few players but not too many, and buy in a few decent ones so you stay up.
