I never heard about Ruud being keen to stay on. He looked miserable as anything when he was here and was undoubtedly lied to. But I'll take your word for it.

 

I know Rowett wants to stay on but he's been reported as seething about Enzo being here for his first game and was on record before we joined saying how poorly the club has been run.

 

I think in Rowett's case, the job is bigger than anything he will now go on to get so I can see why he'd want to stay. I think you can not think much of the owner and director and still want to stay. 

Didn't Ruud keep saying that we needed to align all the time before he was sacked and said after we were relegated he wanted to stay, although I guess they all say that

Why would he come to a div 1 team that’s so mismanaged it’s unbelievable 

More money most likely, leicester even with finance problems could still offer better wage than his current club. Even if it doesnt workout the pay off would still leave him nice lump sum.

If we are looking for a manager that can rebuild a club I think we need to have a look at our neighbors and appoint a certain Mark Robins. Turned Coventry around and i have a sneaky feeling he will be leaving Stoke in the summer.

Is this a rumour or more a ‘who’d manage us/be a good fit?’

More of a good fit rather than a rumour. Not heard anything about Robins, but I definitely think we should consider this.

I remember seeing him being interviewed and asked about conversations taking place with our hierarchy several times over several weeks and he was totally mesmerised by our lack of urgency ! He truly couldn’t believe it, well we can !!! 
 

Nothing changes !!

When Ruud did his homework on us, he rang Enzo and was given completely the wrong impression of what this club is like to work for. That isn't to say Ruud was blameless. He was terrible. 

 

But he was also lied to by a pair of frauds. I think Enzos goodwill towards them would very likely have ran out very soon after if he did not leave when he did. 

 

I can't imagine Marti, Ruud, Cooper or Rowett giving anyone the thumbs up to come here. Hopefully Dick doesn't have their numbers. 

Well because for Enzo the club were a dream. Signed so many players on crazy money where usually a club would say no chance.

 

but letting a manager sign who he wants isn’t very prudent as a manager doesn’t care if something makes financial or even long term sense … they just want what they need for their game plan. Most owners would have simply said the winks package was far too much but our owners likely didn’t even question it.  Would a manager rather get exactly who they asked for or would they prefer to get a random player who fits the metrics that the scouts offer as an alternative. Of course they would be more happy getting the player they asked for. 

 

A large part of our downfall wasn’t just bad scouting and Rudkin decisions… it was letting Brendan get what he wanted. It was letting cooper get what he wanted and despite his success (and a far better record) letting Enzo get what he wanted also has caused us some issues

First signing in 'coming'

Leicester City eyeing NEC Nijmegen boss Dick Schreuder to replace Gary Rowett
Leicester find themselves searching for a seventh permanent managerial hire in just over three years, and are pursuing talks with one of the top-performing bosses in the Eredivisie as they look for Rowett's successor.

The manager in question is NEC Nijmegen boss Dick Schreuder, who, as per a recent report from the exclusive Patreon service of The Sun's Alan Nixon, has earned his fair share of admirers among the Foxes' hierarchy.

Nixon reported on Tuesday lunchtime that Leicester want to undertake discussions with the 54-year-old over the possibility of becoming City's new manager and leading the club out of League One.

 

It's said that Leicester are impressed by the Dutchman's body of work in his native country, although it remains unclear whether he is willing to take a third-tier job at this moment in time - which City are actively trying to find out.

Schreuder is currently earning no shortage of plaudits over in the Netherlands in what has been an excellent campaign for Nijmegen, who are on course to achieve an all-time highest league finish this term.

Leicester City fans, how would you feel about the potential appointment of NEC Nijmegen boss Dick Schreuder? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Despite working on a limited budget, Schreuder's side are positioned in third place with just three games to spare. They're above Dutch giants Ajax right now and are likely to secure UEFA Europa League qualification, while an entrance to the Champions League could be on the cards if they can topple Feyenoord in second.

Schreuder is no rookie in the duguout, having formerly led the likes of PEC Zwolle and Spanish second-tier outfit Castellon before taking the job at Nijmegen last summer.

 

 

Leicester City manager target Dick Schreuder has English football experience
Schreuder hardly represents a household name on these shores, although the sought-after Leicester target would bring some unexpected experience in the English game.

That's because, during a playing career which spanned 15 years and was primarily played out in Dutch football, Schreuder briefly undertook a forgettable two-game loan stint with Stoke City in the 1997-98 season.

The former midfielder only made two appearances in the Potteries before swiftly returning home, although he did later come back to England to accompany Edgar Davids in his infamous stint at Barnet.

Schreuder joined Barnet in June 2013 as head of coaching and, following the dismissal of Davids some six months later, he endured a short tenure as joint manager alongside fellow countryman Ulrich Landvreugd.

That spell culminated in four successive defeats and Schreuder proceeded to head back to the Netherlands once again that summer, although he's evidently come on leaps and bounds since his stay in North London and it will be interesting to see whether Leicester can convince the Dutchman to lead the club's new League One era.

His agent is Pep's agent. McCarron must have some direct links.
