I say mostly as undeniably we are doing one thing well with the youth coming through. Pearson could build a legacy with it. 1

Clogger_ Posted 13 February Posted 13 February If there is any truth that Rudkin is stopping the return of Nige, I may spontaneously combust. I mean... Imagine. Literally the one thing that could energise the club and Rudkin ****s it up? Can't be true can it? 1 1

Rudkin only employs yes men, something that Pearson isn't. Not a chance, so can we stop the Pearson fantasy now please. 1
LadyFox53 Posted 13 February Posted 13 February I wish Ak would kick off if NP is not recruited as interim, they worked together often enough and that relationship never soured.

21st Century Fox Posted 13 February Posted 13 February (edited) It doesn’t matter who comes in the effect will be temporary while the current regime are still here. It’ll either be another poorly thought through appointment to add to the pile or someone who’s has some success but will eventually leave when they realise Top and Rudkin have lied and can’t provide the players to meet their ambition. Let’s not give Top and Rudkin any further opportunities to tarnish any more club legends. Edited 13 February by 21st Century Fox

Andy King has no right and is no position to kick off about anything to do with the running of the football club is he. He's an employee of the club. Would do absolutely nothing. Even if he could, I don't remember Andy King kicking off about anything, ever.
Rusko187 Posted 13 February Posted 13 February 2 hours ago, Tuna said: 3 weeks, 3 wasted games and one of our most damaging results in our history and absolutely no movement. No rumours, no links, nothing. Remarkable. It's obvious now that they just want to keep King in post until the end of the season. I won't turn on King... he's a coach, not a manager. This ownership is making him a patsy for their failures. I will give King my support, backing and patience as he has earnt that from the fans. If we go down under King then it's down to the lack of support they have afforded him. However, it's time for Top and Rudkin to go... points deduction and the lack of movement on management just goes to show their sheer level of incompetence. 2 1
Product of 84 Posted 13 February Posted 13 February A theory I'd love to be true... We have appointed. We are just waiting for some form of contract obligation to run out. Hence why King repeatedly says he doesn't want the job. Another theory (and probably closer to the truth)... We can't appoint due to PSR until a certain date when all the monies align. I imagine we are saving a bit on wages. Or we are just incompetent. Or no one wants the job. It all seems very quiet now the initial newspaper noise has gone.

I believe that the right manager can come in and give this squad a stabilising impact that limps it to safety and then we can worry about the future. I know it's become a tired cliché we're all cautious of by now but this group of players genuinely is easily good enough to avoid the drop they just need galvanising. The tactics are largely irrelevant right now, they need a strong and positive man manager to inspire a bit of something in them. We need a trenches commander. I don't care if it's some old boy only until the summer, in fact it's arguably better if it is. 2

cityfanlee23 Posted 13 February Posted 13 February We were on a knife-edge this season, and the cost of messing it up was massive. At the start of January we were within touching distance of fluking the playoffs which would have potentially given us just enough to save the club financially, providing if we fluked promotion we then followed a coherent plan to continue to get rid of the 50k+ earners and bring in a summers worth of young talent for the prem, we could then afford relegation and be on a solid financial footing. The flip side to that is where we are now, we stay down, and still struggle with big earners on the books that we cannot afford to mutually cancel deals with, cannot afford to bring in the players we need, and essentially are forced into a 3-4 year rebuild with minimal spending. Or the worst case scenario, we go down with a wimper and potentially go bankrupt. We were 4 points from saving the club, but we persisted with MC and now we are facing ruin. I'd love to see Hassenhuttl come in because he's got a reputation for not taking any nonsense from players and forcing his views, but as every day and each loss passes, I'm beginning to think we need to be in contact with NP and just pray his health can sustain an interim role with a lovely office waiting for him upstairs at the end of the season. 1

If you knew damn well you didn't have a competent replacement lined up, why sack him? Let Marti sort his mess out rather than setting Andy King up for failure. 3

There are good points for him never coming back and some for coming back (he’s admitted his aim is to get back into management) this is not one of them.

I don't care if it's some old boy only until the summer, in fact it's arguably better if it is. Some sort of "loan" deal with Warnock and Torquay until the end of the season would be absolutely perfect, as part of the deal we can create a partnership to send youth players there for the future.
