the draper Posted 3 May Share Posted 3 May (edited) The lack of a clear foorballing strategy The lack of quality within the squad The likelihood of a 6pts deduction All mean that if another Premier league club come calling he will jump If they don't he will demand/ command a fee of 4-5m a year from LCFC and then stay till he is sacked next summer 🙄 🤣 Edited 3 May by the draper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got a ~£50m Summer transfer kitty as a Championship manager - Not sure what he's not happy about! Fair enough, he wasn't able to strengthen in January, but it's notoriously difficult for everyone to get players in during that window. He's had loads of backing and ultimately a successful season - He should be over the moon! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyC74 Posted 3 May Share Posted 3 May Interesting decision by Enzo to be so open in the presser, in particular the Club not mentioning potential FFP issues before the January window. Obviously feels he is in a strong position and signposting that he needs to get answers puts pressure on the Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzFOX Posted 3 May Share Posted 3 May Rudkin and Whelan do need a bollocking for their sloppiness with our finances so I’m happy for Enzo to dish it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I don't expect the Board would be that happy that he has done that and it doesn't seem likely that Top is willing to make any changes.

Good. But he could quite easily walk away, it wouldn’t surprise me one bit. Especially if he wants additional people in the board room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had loads of backing and ultimately a successful season - He should be over the moon! Probably that the club ****ed around in January and lead him to believe signing Sensi was possible. And let's be fair, our income from transfers last summer was not far off £100m (40m each for Barnes and Maddison, £15m Castagne, 1m Hirst), him getting back ~37m (7.5m Coady, 10m Winks, 6.5m Mavididi, 7m Cannon, 6m Mads) + whatever Doyle, Fatawu, Casadei and Yunus' loan fees were is not that outlandish a budget. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywood_6 Posted 3 May Share Posted 3 May I really think it's 50/50 whether Enzo stays next season. We've just had a brilliant season and the celebrations aren't done yet - but soon the realisation will set in that we're a club starting on minus points and in a pretty poor state financially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ricey Posted 3 May Popular Post Share Posted 3 May If he forces Rudkin out I’d give him a lifetime contract and free pass to never make another substitution ever again. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5waller5 Posted 3 May Share Posted 3 May 1 hour ago, Spudulike said: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/videos/cle0z27e318o Perfect!!! We have a confident manager that wants to surround himself with the tools for success and know that his vision for that is matched by the board. I believe Top will buy into this very strongly, the question will be wether he’s brave enough to commit to changes at board level. Personally I feel really positive about this situation, he has a great point - the infrastructure is the same as when we were relegated! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 3 May Share Posted 3 May I didn't agree with Rodgers throwing his toys out the pram, neither did I agree with media narrative "he wasn't backed" - he was, by the tune of over £200m. However, the last 2 managers have been critical of the running and secretive nature of our finances, the club cannot continue in this vein. Wake up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted 3 May Share Posted 3 May I’m a little worried that the last time our manager went to the board and extracted guarantees in order to stay, it was a short-term success but a long-term failure (Rodgers). I don’t think Maresca’s demands are going to be unreasonable and I don’t think what he wants and what Rodgers wanted when he signed his contract extension is an apples-to-apples comparison. However, I wonder if Top would see it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVFox Posted 3 May Share Posted 3 May I wouldn't blame him for going, he's realised the club has no competency in key departments and if a Sevilla or Fiorentina comes knocking he will have to consider it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted 3 May Share Posted 3 May Depends what his demands are. A competently run club who are open and honest with him about finances is a fair ask. Demanding we spend spend spend is not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
