Ruud van Nistelrooy - Leicester City manager

[Willlow]

He’s not wrong! That defence isn’t going to get any better regardless of manager..

He is clearly on borrowed time, but maybe some home truths for the players not the worse thing.

It really, really is. The idea that no manager could get us defending better is insane.

I agree.

Our tactical issues are obvious. We are hampered by idealistic nonsense.

Our central defenders are not good enough so we have to play a back three. Our central midfielders are not good enough so we have to play three of them too.

Two wing backs and two forwards.

It wouldn't make us a good team because the quality isn't there. But it would give us a chance of competing in matches.

We also need to drop Vardy and use him for the last 20 minutes as an impact sub. And put a proper captain in the side.

Not a hope that RvN would do any of that.

Most concerning is that there is also no hope that Aiyawatt would allow his manager to do it either.

All of this.

It's unbelievable we're not trying something new given the performance we're peddling out each week.

Daka is shit, we know this. But Vardy playing 90 mins each week is just getting stupid.

 

[alex]

He has to go. Surely now? Surely?!!!!

 

[Brown Nose]

WOTS is that RvN was entirely a Aiyawatt appointment. He ignored advice and went with his choice.

Not many billionaire babies like to admit that they're wrong. When he eventually does do the inevitable, he'll just go on and do something equally stupid next too. Anyway, what manager in his right mind would want to work for this club right now?

We might also be unable to sack him because of the financial consequences of another huge payoff.

 

[homer]

Sadly there is nobody in their right mind who would take this on right now, even if we could afford it - better for them to pick it up in the Championship than be tarred with a relegation pretty much before they actually begin.

No way Dyche takes this - and he’s a complete ****

We have lurched from a quite ludicrous appointment, in Cooper, to one that has to be possibly the worst in our history - and I include McLintock and Taylor in that.

 

[M17TT C]

Dyche is shit though, just look how much Everton have improved since he's left.

He'd still be a million times better than what we have at the moment.

Saying that though, whoever comes in will have to deal with Coady and Vestergaard at CB as there isn't another club in the world that would pay them even half of what they are on here.

 

[Orifice]

It's unlikely that an established and known manager (Dyche, etc) would relish managing Leicester City at the moment. On a 'Hiding-To-Nothing' type thing.

We can only get a lower-league up-and-coming geezer, IMO. And that is unlikely with our way. More likely to get Mourinho.

I wouldn't want Dyche at all. To quote an Everton fan I read... "Sean Dyche - I think I've taken this team as far as I can, David Moyes - There's so much more I can do with this team". Even at his best there, they were just about fending off relegation each year... plus he's famous for old fashioned hoofball type stuff and would be coming into squad that really doesn't have the attributes to play that way.

Having said that, if Ruud gets the boot which seems likely we'll be in bargain basement territory. Little room to operate financially with the EFL after our blood next year. Plus managers will be thinking twice about coming to a club where the fans pretty much hate their own team and the ownership structure is one if the most hopelessly run right now.

 

[Brown Nose]

Like I've said, Brian Barry-Murphy will be caretaker next with Andy King alongside for the ****wit vote.

Then, when that fails, if he's still on the market, it will be Russell Martin or someone suitably obsessed with style over substance. He plays the way Aiyawatt wants.

 

[fitz]

He should have gone after the Wolves game. It was only 4 games in or something for him but made it blatantly clear he isn't a manager.

The only plus from yesterday was seeing fans finally voting with their feet. Well done.

And that's why I am right not to give a shit.

 

[LoopisDeLupis]

Is he gone yet?

 

[popillius]

Not going to happen.

 

[OzzieFox]

Quite bizarre to think, for all the consternation, the toing and froing, the angst, anticipation, constantly checking on who the new manager would be. And all the money and contract negotiations, the fame and fortune that goes with it. It's news that literally goes around the world.

And my mam could have done just a good a job.

Said it at the time…the Ward decision was one of the single biggest **** ups I’ve seen a manager make in many a year. Was a very bad sign of Ruuds ability to do the job. It warranted the sack.

The ‘display’ yesterday was even worse than anything we were subjected to by “the attractive one.”

For me, the first worrying sign was not taking the team at Brentford. After agreeing to take the job, he spent a few days in the Netherlands before turning up to watch the game. Massive indicator for me that he wasn't the sort we needed.

He's simply not made of the sort of stuff managers need to be made of.

Again last night, when there was an injury delay, no players went over to him for instructions. He just sat in his seat bewildered.

I'm sure that the players enjoy working for him. But when they turn up each day at the Seagrave Golf Course and Spa, they need somebody that is going to make them graft and develop. RvN is never going to be that man.

Managers should be obsessive and scary. RvN is a nice chap.

 

[camberwell fox]

Agree with that, we need someone to instil a fight and siege mentality.
