Whelan and Rudkin Falling Out

Sums up the club when the top 2 under Top are falling out

Susan Whelan is the club’s chief executive and cannot escape criticism, though she is not involved in football decisions. A respected voice at Premier League board meetings, Whelan has been a strong leader at Leicester through tough moments, such as Khun Vichai’s passing and the Covid-19 pandemic.

 

The Irishwoman has also been crucial in some player sales, including the £80 million transfer of Harry Maguire to Manchester United. Last August she moved to break the impasse in talks between Leicester and Chelsea over Wesley Fofana’s transfer.

 

Relegation will be especially hard on Whelan, who spearheaded the development of the state-of-the-art Seagrave training ground that will be home to a Championship squad next season. Her relationship with Rudkin is said to have become fractious in recent months.

Everything comes out after relegation. The issue is both. They didn't act decisively and when they did it was too late. 

[HankMarvin]

let the fallout commence

 

 

hopefully

[Pliskin]

Hopefully they both fall out of the board room and roll the **** away.

[MattFox]

Noticeable that Whelan never sits with Top and Rudkin at games

 

Dont think she’s inner circle 

[StanSP]

Rudkin needs to fvck off. 

 

Becoming a bit parasitic at the club now. Like a bad smell that won't go. 

[EastAnglianFox]

Hope it becomes toxic between the lot of them and they all fvck off tbh

[Bilo]

I actually hope Rudkin comes off worse. Whelan has at least been a shrewd negotiator with player sales and has gotten the club some outrageous fees. That will matter in the summer if we're to have any money to play with in the transfer market.

 

Couple that with a competent DoF and we might be able to forge a decent rebuild.

[foxy boxing]

Blaming each other for each others failings that's what happens when things go to s@# t.

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Best news I've heard there's friction between the two and hopefully Rudkin goes as he's responsible for the footballing side while she's probably does the admin and contracts side work

[Bluearmyfox28]

Whelan and Top have been involved in the great recent moments for the club don’t forget. It’s been going to shit since Rudkin has been employed. He’s the man that has to leave and is the cancer in the boardroom. 
 

I’ve said this previously before, I’ve had a few mates who were with the academy when Rudkin was running the academy and not a single one has a positive thing to say about the guy. Complete bellend. How his CV ever looked appealing I don’t know. 0 experience in his current role.

[Blue ROI]

I'd tolerate Whelan who at least has some track record.

 

Crudkin on the other hand. Go now and fast.

Whelan has been with King Power for about 20 years as well so I expect she would have a lot more sway with Top when it comes to which one would get the boot

Rudkin was appointed midway through 14/15.

“If you were to ask me to name three geniuses, I probably wouldn't say Whelan, Rudkin, Top.. you know. I'd go: Milligan, Cleese, Everett… Sessions.”

If she's that well respected and has done so well, then other clubs/companies will want her services and she likely wouldn't be around for a rebuild.

[Tanya]

Rudkin should go, not Whelan.

[Sir Shep]

This'll bow well for the internal review, blame each other when they should both bugger off.

She has been with King Power for about 20 years tbf I don't think it would be easy for another club or company to take her

Yes, but not in this role and also not as visible as she has been since our promotion.

She's a big name in King Power and came with Vichai when the family bought the club. 

 

I'd fancy her chances more than Rudkin if push came to shove. 

[LVFox]

Think Whelan does a far better job than anyone else at the club -  not surprised she's seen Rudkin for the leech that he is 

[Soar Fox]

Hope they all fvck off. Top your dad would be ashamed of what you have done to this club

Yep. I worry about her not being visible compared to Rudkin though.

This is like an episode of The Apprentice.
