Mr. Honour and integrity. 
 

Imagine being the shittest manager in the a clubs history. The shittest manager in the history of the premier league. Spending your entire time here not making one good decision. Killing your own career. Being 20 points behind your nearest rival (and counting). And wanting to be paid for it. 

It seems he used up his lifetime's supply of integrity when he walked out on PSV. Like a salmon that can only spawn once, he's done the decent thing on one occasion and is now incapable of doing it again.

Although its the clubs fault we flunked psr, psr is still a complete sack of red cartel protecting yankee corruption bullshit. Its making the Premier League a total joke. Well run tin pot clubs will soon be most of the mid table. Who wants to watch Bournemouth vs Brentford honestly? its nearly as bad as Al Helal vs Al Shebab, no one cares.

Am I the only one thinking we should keep him? Chopping and changing again is not going to help us. 

There’s not a chance in hell he’s here next season.

Boooo bloody PSR, if it wasn't for PSR we'd comfortably be a top 6-8 team.

 

Definitely not the absolute laugthable incorrect decisions being made over and over and over again that's at fault.

This is where  regulator would come in handy.

 

As it stands managers wouldn’t sign if the contract did them out of compensation. However, I can’t think of another industry where an employee can do an awful job yet get paid handsomely to get sacked. 
 

There should be a performance related clause written in as standard and I don’t think that hiring and firing should count within PSR. The whole set up is horrendous.

Trouble is it could always be debated as to whether he's done an awful job or not. In other jobs, there's more direct accountability. Here, he's sending guys out to a job for him. I'm not sure anyone would get a Premier League quality tune out of this current group. 

I still think he needs to go.

It's very worrying we are so close to PSR thresholds we can't sack him. We are so ****ed next season it's unreal. We won't be able to get rid of any of the wasters because of their book value so we are going to be stuck with a load of crap players we can't get rid of and no headroom to get any new one in. King Power need to go.

 

Also I can see why Ruud is staying for money but we should have barriers letting him know what a twat he is. 

 

Worst manager in Premier league history thinks he deserves compensation. A snappy version of that anyway!

Find it mad that the boards awful decision making was so bad 4-5 years ago that they're still struggling to deal with the effects of it lol

 

Yet nothing has changed. Part of me wants this clown show to continue for another 5 years to see if they can manage to get us to the promised land of league two.

Fair play to Ruud. If the board are incompetent to put a clause into his contract and didn’t back him after promising to, why should he walk? 

I’m all for bashing the board but contracts in football just don’t work like that, no one would sign up to a zero compensation walk away for relegation.

I absolutely agree. But nobody cares about the unfairness until it happens to their club. The amount of ignorance about our case - even going back to administration 20 ****ing years ago - is unbelievable

Especially when you are coming in mid season, at best you will negotiate certain clauses that link reduction to pay offs to not achieving certain objectives.

I don't blame him for holding out for compensation. The anger should instead be directed at the club for handing out a 2.5 year contract to an unproven manager, in a precarious situation with no relegation clause in it (as Southampton were smart enough to do). Even more so when they knew how tight the finances were.

I am not sure that you can good conscience tbh. Yes the league is blocking other clubs from reaching the levels of the big 6, or whatever awful term we may choose to use, but to suggest they are preventing us from operating in a more frugal and cunning manner is just not true.

I think the club is responsible over paying bad players big wages, paying over the odds for bad players, and signing players and managers with no real thought process for how they fit whatever structure or philosophy we have.

 

Brentford, Bournemouth, Brighton, Fulham, Palace can all meet PSR with seemingly no issues. We clearly have a huge problem at management level.

 

I dont agree with the rules or the fact that Chelsea blatantly get away with taking the piss, yet it is possible to be a well run stable Premier League team for a club our size. 

Beat me too it. :thumbup:

Oh great. I’m jealous of PSV now. Another one to add to the list. Imagine the joy of hearing Van Nistelrooy has walked
