We aren’t a healthy club and it will take its toll on him. Shows the type of character he is though if he’s saying he’s up for the fight. Will always be my favourite ever manager. He’s genuinely too good for us and still somehow we’re the ones turning him down. Crazy. Never under estimate the power of the clubs arrogance. 2
AjcW Posted 13 February Posted 13 February 3 league games in 7 days after the cup game.... 3 very good teams.... nearly a quarter of our remaining games in a short sprint. If we're going to have any chance of staying up, the firefighter needs to be in by Monday next week latest. 2
Pita Posted 13 February Posted 13 February It’s obvious that playing polo is more important than finding someone to manage the club 1

The permanent position needed to be filled weeks before we got one in in the summer, Was it like Mid July about 3 weeks before we started the season and Ruud had been gone since May? That is the levels of urgency we are dealing with here. 1 2

Joe90 Posted 13 February Posted 13 February This is surreal 3 weeks since sacking the manager and we have no one! We are in a relegation battle to league 1! How the hell is this club being run? Very concerning

Finnegan Posted 13 February Posted 13 February 20 minutes ago, Manwell Pablo said: The future is relegation and financial ruin or King power go mate. 2026,2027,2028, take your pick. Given the idiots never appoint the right man for the job anyway struggle to see peoples investment or interest in it. It'll be just another chapter in King Power fck ups. AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM. I dunno. We're about to finally end the rolling 5 year contract cycle that got us in to this mess in the first place and that has hamstrung any attempt to spend and grow the squad for years because the wage bill got so massive. We're about to lose Daka, Soumaré, Ricardo, Winks and Ayew from the wage bill. Vards has already gone, Vestergaard and Faes are quite likely to follow at last. We'll probably generate another £50m selling BEK and Fatawu and the PSR looming threat should finally be done and dusted. It'll be a ghost town here, we'll have absolutely **** all squad, we'll need considerable recruitment. But equally, the clean slate comes with some positives and I'd be surprised if we don't finally see us able to spend this summer if we do stay up. I can see Top walking in to exactly the same mistake Vichai did when he arrived. Remember that Matt Mills era splurge? Going and trying to buy all the "stars" of the Championship and using our name and the size of the club as clout. I don't think it'll get us promoted but I do think it'll get us back up to mid table, top-10 kinda safety. If we survive this year I don't think we'll keep sliding downwards. The club had absolutely nothing going for it in that Holloway, Megson, Allen era. We consistently had no money and no means for years, slowly bringing together a squad of absolutely muck a few hundred k at a time. I just don't see us being in that desperate a situation now. 4
RoboFox Posted 13 February Posted 13 February (edited) 10 hours ago, indierich06 said: Announcing Pearson as interim until the end of the season with King as assistant manager would be such a simple, easy win for the club in terms of getting the fans back onside that it beggars belief they've not just got it done. Top and Rudkin think we're 'better' than the likes of Pearson, when the truth is that they have run us so far into the ground that we're actually worse off than the last time he was here. These people resent the fans. This reluctance isn’t really about footballing merit at all, but about pride. For them, conceding to the mood of the supporters would mean loss of authority and control. They're egotistical narcissists. Edited 13 February by RoboFox 3
Fox 4 Life Posted 13 February Posted 13 February both Spurs and Forest have replacements pretty much sorted in a matter of days, what are these ****ing clowns doing. Watch Blackburn get that shiny new manager bounce and be out of sight before these retards even act. 2
Tielemans63 Posted 13 February Posted 13 February Forest and Spurs are admittedly much more attractive clubs right now, but they had new managers lined up the day after sacking their old manager. Here we are 19 days and 3 games later, seemingly still with no proper plan for a replacement. It's absolutely pathetic. And Top wonders why he's getting abuse.
South Shire Fox Posted 13 February Posted 13 February (edited) Almost guarenteed they were praying King would get a few results so they could give it him for the rest of the season. That way they wouldnt have to spend any more money. Now that Kings games have been a disaster, they have shat themselves and are scrambling for a replacement. Throw shit at a wall and hope it sticks. The usual unorgonised, amateur approach from Rudkin Edited 13 February by South Shire Fox

His personal dignity is very important to him. He would not be interested in any job he did not feel he could do. 1

You are far more optimistic than me. I’m normally a positive person but can see nothing but continued decline whilst Top remains 1
LCFCJohn Posted 13 February Posted 13 February We’re an experiment at this point right? It’s all to test how quickly people can break it has to be. I struggle to wrap my head around this level of performance by Aiyawatt and Rudkin being incompetence. An experiment or delibera sabotage, it has to be. 1

The usual unorgonised, amateur approach from Rudkin The club is just so reactive, it's incredibly frustrating. Agree with you, they were hoping King would do well but now they're scrambling. I read it's an honour thing to the person in position that they won't speak to alternative candidates while the manager is in place, but I don't believe that given Rodgers was clearly contacted while Puel was here, which facilitated the quick appointment.
Sly Posted 13 February Posted 13 February The fact Forest are sorted after 2 days and we are still messing around is crazy

Faffed and could’ve had Rohl but again didn’t want to pay. Ended up with Farti Naffuentes mid July almost 3 weeks into pre season. Took an age to get RVN in didn’t we? He also didn’t get staff in for a while. Even when Enzo came in we took an age to sort his staff out. Dean Smith was hired two matches too late. The list goes on. Bottom and Spudders are utterly useless. 1

TOP see’s King as a saviour of the club a club legend that’s seen it all.
