I do fear his time here is short. 50/50 he gets fed up with the DoF and takes a walk, or a “big” club sees the MacGyver act he’s pulling off with the bubble gum and tin foil roster here and snatches him up.

Coming from one of the best-run clubs in the world, he must be wondering what the **** he's let himself in for. The fact we haven't managed to flog a single piece of deadwood (I'm not including Hirst), even for a knockdown price is farcical. The likes of Castagne, Daka, Vestergaard, Thomas, Praet, Ndidi....there aren't even any serious links. Incompetent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand his frustration but it's not like he's stuck with a squad full of donkeys (one or two exceptions aside). We're 4 wins out of 4 to start a season for the first time in the club's history (albeit not convincingly) yet anyone reading FoxesTalk would think we are in total crisis. Maresca just needs to get on with it and get the most out of what he has at his disposal, which as it stands is better than almost all of the rest of the division.

Blame the finance director blame Susan and Top. It really is not all Rudkins fault, but like I said play ground bullies pick on the easy target. You talk about Rudkin like he owns the club. He's employed and has constraints so if they are wrong it's not his fault. If your kids were being treated like you treat him you would be in uproar. Fecking grow up.

Out of interest, how would you view a reasonable measurement of performance for a Director of Football like Jon Rudkin? If the wages and transfer fees are set by another department and if the incomings and outgoings are decided by other departments, is the DOF just a fluffer who has no KPIs that they ought to meet? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are Everton not a basket case too? Wouldn't any club interested in poaching Maresca right now be in some kind of negative predicament? His last job lasted for about 15 games. What would it look like if he walked out on this one? And why do you believe that he's nudging at the exit door? That comment about everyone needing to know that the squad isn't complete? Surely not! If he expected the squad to be finalised by now, and I'm certain he didn't, then he'd be so thick that I wouldn't want him in charge anyway. And why on earth would Everton target him, unless we're talking about an arbitrary punt of Phil Gartside proportions? Surely there's always the danger that a manager doing well at this level will be targeted, be it Robins, Carrick, McKenna, Martin or whoever. Whether they accept or not would reflect as much on them as their current employers. I'm full of doubts about our current club leaders. I suspect people are in jobs who shouldn't be. But if we think that the failure to sign a 25 year-old mid-to-upper-end FLC striker for £15m when we have Iheanacho, Vardy and Daka still on the books is a resignation-worthy offence, then Enzo's going to spend a good deal of his career out of work. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillehamring Posted 23 August 2023 Share Posted 23 August 2023 1 hour ago, LinekersLugs said: I think they are actually getting on at present time and it’s working, but if Rudkin drops the ball here might test Enzo…. We are desperately short on numbers and Enzo doesn’t want many more loans I can't imagine there will be a case of 'dropping the ball' - at the end of the day, rudkin will want to make the sales so he can bring in new players, but he can't force other teams to buy highly-paid, underperforming players; and no doubt he is accountable to Top to make sure any sale is economically satisfactory. so it's ignorant to assume that these sales should be guaranteed, regardless of who the DoF is. I know many people doubt Rudkin's competence, but he's been doing the job long enough to understand these basics and i'm sure he'll want to prove that he is good at his job, despite the negative perceptions of him. Sometimes we have to learn to accept that not everything we want is possible, I'm sure Enzo is realistic enough to understand that we're in a tough situation and, though frustrated, will understand this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can do no wrong in the eyes of his bosses and it's absolutely abundantly obvious to anybody at this point that he's terrible at his job. 1 hour ago, Mickyblueeyes said: This is my fear. I think as a coach he is very good. A lot about him to get behind. We are such a shambles he either gives up and calls (rightly) Top and Rudkin a bunch of ***** and walks out or he does as well as expected and takes a PL job mid season. Our fans are that blinded by this ownership that they would see Maresca as the issue as well. Maybe less so on here but I think in the stadium it would just bring back the sorts of scenes you had against West Ham where anybody wanting accountability is gawped at by the clappers.

Popular Post Finnegan Posted 23 August 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 23 August 2023 Fvck me, do we just believe everyone's an itk now? Show a bit of sense. Maresca isn't an idiot, he's going to have known the squad situation when he turned up. We're a bunch of amateurs, fans looking on, and we knew it was obvious the club had to sell to do a lot of business. He's hardly going to have not realised that. He's also been a professional footballer and has been around professional football his entire adult life. He's gonna know we can't just force people to buy our plahers. He might be disappointed we can't get a target he wants but he's not going to be "livid with the club" or Rudkin. 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillehamring Posted 23 August 2023 Share Posted 23 August 2023 1 hour ago, StanSP said: And who's fault is that The economics of professional football? - i'm no expert but i'll wager for a team playing in the PL and Europe there was absolutely nothing remarkable or extreme about the salaries players were given. People have to remember that we were trying to directly compete with big 6 teams who could easily out spend us; we were up to the limit of our FFP, so it's reasonable that we were simply paying salaries we could afford. The reactionary BS on here seems to be based on the idea that when we signed these players we knew that we'd soon be playing in the EFL - it's ridiculous - when these players were bought with european experience to play in europe, that's why they demanded higher salaries. Ultimately, the blame for this situation falls on everyone from top to bottom, not just rudklin, he can't be held entirely accountable for our relegation and the consequent problems we now face. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
