Ruud van Nistelrooy - Leicester City manager

[jb5000]

I was thinking Craig Levein may have had a beard at some point but it could be Frankie Boyle I’m thinking of

He grew one later in his career but he was clean shaven while he was with us. Returning to Scotland, he probably felt the cold more

Well there is something.

I think he has a permanent beard. I know Maresca sometimes had one, sometimes didn't but I can't remember another manager who had permanent facial hair.

Am I missing anyone?

George Johnson has a proper moustache. Frank Burrows too, but he was only caretaker.

 

[Brown Nose]

Two up front then! Excellent.

Unfortunately not.

He means two up front out of possession, much as we've done for years now. Although hopefully it won't be Ndidi any longer.

In possession, it will be one as usual.

The modern super duper way is often to have more players in forward positions when chasing about than when trying to create.

Do we know if his coaching team have joined yet?

I don't know but one would assume so. On an aside, Ruud, about the players, has said that "they are a good bunch of people". Is this the Dutch equivalent of "they're a smashing bunch of lads"?

I meant RvN and Vardy up front ..

On what fans can expect from his team: " A back four and working together. It is 4-4-****ing 2 and we look to pressure the opponent "

Welcome Ruud Van Bassett

If he hasn’t been a proper manager yet, does he even have a coaching team to bring in?

Does PSV not count?

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

That was a year ago for just a year. Won’t they have got other jobs since then?

Yeah but people move jobs, especially if the opportunity to coach alongside Ruud again.

Dunno, haven’t asked. I was just addressing the ‘proper manager’ bit.

He's a top manager, we shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Are you sure, because checking teeth might have been a good idea previously

Rooney might be available soon - RvN, Rooney, Vardy.

Interesting article about RvNs addition to the backroom staff.
