Rudkin

[Wymsey]

Have a feeling that Top and Vichai were helped quite a bit by him into settling into the club, when they first came into the country, and from there on the relationship between him and Top/Whelan is very strong one would imagine.

Rudkin is the football director, it's the failure of the football side that's put us in this position. Absolutely it's his fault, it's clear he's out of his depth. Cooper is not a good manager, a lot of the singing this year are relegation journeyman dross.

It's why I just can't get properly annoyed anymore until we have new ownership. What's the point. Our luck has run out now.

 

The Fulham away games in 2023 and the weekend sort of sum up the situation around us now. 2023 was a hateful team who should've never gotten relegated but managed to thanks to a situation those at the top never bothered to fix. The weekend was just an honest but poor team. This is what we are now. This is decline. This is life under Top & Rudkin.

Spot on. They'll live off "but we won the FA Cup!!" forever. Fans will still applaud them then blame each other when we are languishing in the Football League again.

Wait until the end of Friday.... You might see Rudkin in a different light....

Now this will get some people talking!

there’s absolutely no precedent or reason to think that anything positive is going to happen. If he pulls something out of the bag then fair play, I’ll be shocked.

There’s plenty of people that owe their careers to Rudkin at the club which is always worth remembering. This is a man that knows the value of acolytes.

Correct. In tops eyes, Rudkin is very competent and a massive part of the recent success. He likely doesn’t believe our recent downfall is any of his fault and is purely situational. Top is way too loyal to be an owner of a football club unfortunately.

Like Putin playing off the oligarchs and silovikis against each other so that nobody ever points the finger at him.

If he does, let’s celebrate a bloke finally doing his job on the last week of the window after we’ve burnt through two games and in the process of overpaying AGAIN

[Wymsey]

But, if he ever stands down, actually reckon some fans will see it as a bit harsh given his success in the academy etc..

I am sure there is a post like this nearly the end of every transfer window and it invariably ends with very little happening. I will wait with baited breath and to also be disappointed

Falling upwards isn’t harsh. I’m sure there’s been plenty of people more qualified for the job than him that he’s trod on along the way! 
 

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… the fact that he, Whelan and even Anthony H never got poached or sought to leave to further themselves after all the successes… speaks volumes.

Sir this is a highly stressed form. Please don’t trifle with our emotions.

I don't think he has a clue as the home support is so passive and shows little in the way of anger towards the board members. Rudkin should get absolute pelters but he doesn't and the fact he's still employed must show Top is happy with him, so as far he's concerned, he's doing a great job..

Did anyone go to Wolves two years ago when we won 0-4? Their south bank were absolutely belting out songs against their equivalent, Scott Sellars, as they fell to the bottom of the table below us.

 

The month afterwards:

Yep - knock down expectations then celebrate if the reduced expectations are delivered, which is usually a big if in the first place.

 

They need to do something pretty extraordinary just to achieve par for this window. Like we said last week - at least two attacking signings. That was the quote. That's the minimum.

[It'sblueupnorth]

50m + on Danny Ward, Oliver Skipp and Jordan ayew. That’s a sackable offence on its own Christ 

[KFS]

Jon only knows how to buy Wasserman or knockoffs as part of deals we’re still owed money on. Friday night this forum will fizzle out like a fart and we’ll be collectively losing our shit on Saturday when this is the lineup

 

Mads

 

JJ

Vestergaard

Okoli

Kristiansen

 

Winks

Skipp

 

Ayew

Facundo

BDCR

 

Vardy

 

4-0 Villa, Fat boy with a brace

Yep other clubs do manage to do it. At the KP however, any time people do try to say/chant anything negative, the happy clappers kick off. Clubs a state all over including some of the fans.

Wait until he sells Ricardo before the window closes. We’ll have a real meltdown then.
