I've said this in the past it feels like its either that(i don't think he is but it feels like it) or he is so naive verging on stupid that he doesn't get it. 

Maranakis in comparison is a complete lunatic and far from perfect but look at how he acted this season to keep Forest up. 

 

Ruud wouldn't have lasted 5 games under him.

They won't find a buyer. They need us back in the championship at least. 

 

I think it's just the norm as it's a pattern we've followed for years. 

we're more likely to be sold to someone looking for a bargain in league 1 than the championship as the value will be down

 

however, worth saying, this rumour has been going about for a good few years now, started by simon jordan and turned out to be nonsense time and time again

Think mine like a lot of peoples patience has ran out with the people running the club, all your points are 100% valid. But it all feels like groundhog day.

Entirely understandable. The problem we have is that even if there’s a genuine desire inside the club to make a fresh start, our reputation in football is probably so radioactive that any half-decent manager will look at our “project” with deep suspicion — and rightly so. The club has to convince candidates it has really has learned from the chaos of the past few years and is genuinely serious about behaving like a grown-up organisation again. But that still asks for a leap of faith from anyone with options. So while I hope we’re working hard to persuade a talented manager to drag us out of this mess, I’m not quite ready to believe we’ll pull it off.

All the staff take annual leave at the end of the season. Rudkin will be in the Caribbean somewhere. They come back in June and then things will begin from a standing start.

 

I'd guess at a token statement on June 1 confirming the out of contract players are departing. Maybe a line about Rowett. Then things will begin from a standing start. As usual everything needs to be personally signed off by the Nepo baby so nothing happens until he gets round to looking at it.

Same as last few managerial appointments- we set the bar too high, go asking and knocking  for people who can’t stop laughing  before eventually saying no . We finally realize the reality of the situation we are in, and we then  start a fresh round of interviews…

It's when this group includes people like Russell Martin and WIll Still that we'll know we have a problem...

I'd love to know what happened with Enzo. Why was him and his staff watching that Norwich game?

And me. I mean, why the **** would you? Wasn’t it his first home game?

Such a stupid move. Having been reported to be begging him to help, we then have the entire staff in the box come the first home game under Rowett. 

 

Think reports suggested he'd asked to attend, but how true that is I'm unsure.

Probably because they're all on their jollies.

This season: Repeat. We were underperforming yes, but then we hired a manager whose experience was to fight relegation in the second tier. We hired the wrong manager and our record was atrocious. For a club like ours to be relegated in the second tier is unforgivable. Bucks stop with the club management for choosing the wrong managers.

 

They better get this next one right.

Lets be clear Cifuentes was an idiot who should have never got the job, we were going down and would have done under him as well.

Didn't someone come out recently and say that Rowett was aware before the game and furious? 

 

It might've been Rob Tanner on a podcast but I can't recall.

Yeah I think one of them pieces Percy was dying to release mentioned it. 

 

Rowett also said Leicester have gone with an "extremely ambitious appointment" when he thought he'd missed out on it.

 

Surely Enzo wasn't actually about to come back for a few months. Almost like he was thinking about it and then got told how stupid it would be so offered a scout report instead. 

 

Genuinely wouldn't surprise me if Rudkin begged him to watch a match for advice because he's so clueless as to what's going wrong.

Yeah, it was obvious that they went for Enzo - probably until the end of the season. 

 

But it's one thing Gary Rowett being aware of this - given they took an age to ring round to see who was available before finally appointing him. 

 

But another to INVITE the man they really wanted into the director's box for your first game. Rowett starts off his tenure undermined, exposed, and probably humiliated. It's like having a new girlfriend around for dinner and inviting the ex. 

 

The optics were awful and we were probably doomed from that point. The people that run our football club are different level ****ing thick man.

Strange sense of humour if that’s the case!

We are run by communists. We arent entitled to an opinion. We do as state instructs in what is supposed to be the best for everyone. Just drink the free beer and enjoy the 15-16 parade please.

I wouldn't say Rodgers instilled a loser mentality.  For all his faults, until his final season, we done well under him, and maybe if the board had backed him in the January transfer windows of the 2 seasons we dropped out of the champions league places in the final week, we maybe would not have not dropped out, and had 2 seasons of champions league money to put into the accounts. 

Rodgers chucked his toys out of the pram at the start of his last season, because the board wouldn't back him, much as he has done with celtic this season. He checked out long before he went, and should have been gone long before he was that season, because his checked out mentality filtered into the players, which is why we went down with a team that shouldn't have been anywhere near the bottom three in my opinion. 

From that point, the lack of leadership, accountability, and basically having any idea of how to run a football club, at the top of the club, has created a lazy, here for the money, I don't care attitude amongst the players, which does indeed mean they have a loser mentality!

backing rodgers in jan would've meant more shit to get rid of on big money. we probably had 3/4 good signings in the 4 years he was with us.

Talk of Rowett going to Blackburn now Michael O'Neill confirmed he was staying with NI. 

 

The board have to act quickly whoever it is they go for, as they have a massive job on their hands

I've been trying to find the actual picture of them holidaying together on Aiyawatt's yacht which has been posted on here a load of times. Seems to have been deleted.

Can’t wait to replace the out of work manager given to us by W̶a̶s̶s̶e̶r̶m̶a̶n̶ THE-TEAM with another out of work manager represented by THE-TEAM

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

What a shambles we are, nobody knows what’s happening, is Rowett still in charge? The lack of leadership and accountability is appalling and not communicating causes so much speculation.

How was Cooper keeping us ‘mid-table’? Don’t ever convince yourself that he and his brand of football were ever going to keep us up. He’d been hugely fortunate to pick up points during his tenure.

We were 16th, a point outside the relegation zone having lost 4 of his previous 5 matches when he was sacked. We certainly weren't mid-table.
